call for newborns – sydney newborn photographer

Posted in: call for models

I  am currently looking for newborn models, and their mothers or fathers (or both!) to shoot, digitally speaking of course!. Here’s the deal:

You will get a free portrait session for your new baby, and a free concertina brag book (purse size) of eight of your favourite images from the session.  Yay for you!  (You may purchase other prints at my current pricing.)

Here’s what I’m looking for:

  • babies no more than 10 days old (or no more than 10 days home from hospital for prems)
  • families able to meet me in a location of my choosing (north side of Sydney)
  • you must be prepared to sign a model release. (The images will more than likely be published.)

So, if you are pregnant (or anyone you know is) and you meet the above criteria, please contact me. (See my contact page for details.) These sessions will be geared around getting the particular images I would like for my portfolio. We can shoot other images if time permits.

NOTE: THIS OFFER IS NOW CLOSED.

And just because I know you expect one, here’s a photo:

Melanie Gilbert - Love the blog Jen, feel very honoured re the boots being featured.

I wish I had known you when Alice was born…the photographer we ended up with was not of the same calibre. Oh well at least we will have some nice shots from here on in.

jennytaylor - Thanks Mel! Always keen to photograph your gorgeous children.
Oh, and some of my greeting cards will be on their way to you. (See my post on free greeting cards, if you don’t know why.)

Mehr Javed - Hello Jen,
I’m expecting a baby boy first week of Nov – I’m not sure if you’re still looking for models for the portfolio shoot, but I’d be happy to volunteer. I’d also be open to a birth photoshoot if that’s something you’re interested in.
Hoping to hear from you soon. Cheers.

Want some free greeting cards?

Posted in: art | competitions and special offers

Before I had children, and had plenty of time for hawking my wares, some of my images were selling as greeting cards in boutique paper, card and gift stores around Sydney. Not many places, mind you, but they were selling. Then along came baby number one, and I just didn’t have the time to devote to pushing my work.

Well,  now you can win a pack of five cards (my selection), just by leaving a comment here! Come on….. I know you’re out there….. stalking…..but not commenting….

The cards come complete with envelopes and are cello-wrapped to keep the photos in mint condition. Simply be one of the first three people to leave me a comment, and I’ll send you the cards through the post. (Let me know how to contact you so I can ask for your postal address.)

Here are a few images from my range of greeting cards. Again, I am scanning these, as most of them were shot on slide film before I switched to digital. Hope you like them!

Helen Kilpatrick - Have just had a look at all your blogs. They’re great!

All your photos are just gorgeous, too, and love the aged look of the boots, even though you say it’s blotchy.

jennytaylor - Thanks Helen! Some of my cards will be winging their way to you soon. Hope you like them! Jen.

Maureen - Would love some cards – but to buy! Let me know if I can pick some up!

Site’s fabulous will talk to Mike re photos – it’s sth we’ve always meant to do. mx

jennytaylor - Thanks Maureen! Will pop some cards in the post to you soon, or drop them off if I’m passing by your place. Any time for photos! Just phone.

Beautiful baby girl – Sydney child photographer

Posted in: my own

I have just dropped my camera in for cleaning and servicing. I have been without it for four days now. Can you hear me hyperventilating? And to make matters worse, I’ve just realised I won’t have it back in time for my baby girl’s first day at school!

Where’s that brown paper bag?

I’ll have to make do with our point and press. Aaagh!

Anyway, to keep myself sane, I have been looking through some old photos, selecting some to share with you. Here’s one of my girl when she was a baby. Once again it’s so old I was still shooting film, so you’ll have to put up with a poor qaulity scan. Sorry.

No I’m not. It’s a gorgeous shot, and she’s a gorgeous baby, don’t you think?

knitted hat

Posted in: knitting | my own

My mum taught me to knit when I was about 6 years old. I can remember the first thing I knitted was a higgledy-piggledy scarf. I kept getting the yarn twisted around the needles, making extra stitches all the time! I can also remember taking my knitting to school for show and tell. I sat in front of the class and demonstrated, and my classmates looked all over the floor for the stitch I dropped!

I’ve come a long way with my knitting since then. Here’s a recent Sunday afternoon project for my girl.

I love knitting, and would be more than happy to knit this hat for you, if you like. I have some more of this yarn in my stash or I could customise it for you. Any size from newborn to adult. Leave me a comment and we’ll take it from there.

There was a little girl… « vividity - […] know how predictive that photo would be.  She’s lost the curl, but not the attitude! (Click here to see a recent photo of her…. and no, I don’t straighten her […]

Here are some shots I did for a friend quite a few years ago. They are so old I was still shooting film. I know they’re not great scans, but I like that I have captured a special time in this family’s life. They seem to like them too. Last time I visited I noticed several of the photos from our session that day have been framed and are up on the wall. What a thrill!

Hope you like them. Let me know what you think.
