A newborn photography session is probably the first portrait session you will do with your beautiful new bundle - these sessions are so important for capturing everything that is special and amazing about your precious new baby. At Hilary Hudson Photography, I aim to capture every little detail - from props to baskets and beanbags, elaborate setups to simple ones, focusing on natural poses that are all about showcasing your gorgeous little one, and of course - all their teeny tiny details. Close up images of your tiny baby's tiny features just make me swoon! These close up images can often become some of your favourite images from your newborn photography session. Our babies grow so quickly, and it can be so easy to forget just how teeny they once were. Some of my favourite details to capture are: - lips, pouting, smiling - eyelashes - feet and toes - the curve of a cheek or a dimple - little fingers - a curl of hair - the little button nose All of these little details are unique and offer a little glimpse to their future personalities! These tiny details (and eeek - those little feet are my favourite!) will make you smile for years to come. Documenting these little features will help you remember these details forever! I ADORE capturing these precious early moments with your new baby. Your life is about to change in the most amazing way possible - let me document those beautiful memories for you, tiny details and all!

We are heading into that craaaazy time of year again, and wow didn't it come round fast?? I cant believe its almost October already - and the coming months are looking a bit hectic! Not only is our building approval deadline looming (eeek - still so much to do!) but there are lots of babies coming and of course my annual Christmas Mini Sessions in October and November too! The kids are starting to get that "end of year tiredness" already - term 3 is done so right now we are enjoying a slightly slower pace of school holidays before the madness of term 4 begins! Earlier this year I had the pleasure of meeting Michelle and Jon, and their gorgeous big family when they came in for their baby boy Nixon's newborn session! This little man is sure to be doted on by all his siblings, so special to capture these precious early days with him! Here are some of the favourites from their session: If you enjoyed this, you might also like:

After playing a big day of AFL interschool sport, he very proudly reported that although his team lost all of their games, in one of the games he kicked "TWO BETWEENS!!" I chuckled and said "I think they're actually called BEHINDS, dude!" To which he replied: "NO-OO - not THOSE ones, the other ones, the ones in the middle BETWEEN the outside ones!" Haha, well done buddy, two goals! I love being creative in my newborn sessions, and I love collaborating with clients when they have a vision for their sweet baby's first photo shoot! Angelina and Aaron had a few fabulous ideas which they wanted to incorporate into the session - including superheroes, using Aaron's Playstation Console as a prop, and a hunting inspired set-up. Gorgeous little Ashton was the perfect model for his session. At just 9 days new he slept like a dream and we were able to capture everything we wanted and more! I especially love the PlayStation set up, complete with a few favourite games! Thanks so much guys, it was awesome meeting you and your gorgeous little man! If you enjoyed this, you might also like:

And as I'm sure you all know, a partly-renovated house isn't exactly the warmest! Those tiny little gaps let all the cold air in and makes for a super cold start each morning in my kitchen. Ugg boots are a required item in our home, and we seriously cannot wait to get a fireplace installed (its on the to-do list). I'm generally wearing 3 layers (including a massive puffer jacket) as its so cold in my office. I was sitting up here editing the other morning and feeling sorry for myself because the thermometer on my desk said it was a lovely 9 degrees in the office! My 'mouse' hand is permanently frozen. Our poor dogs have been feeling it too - mind you, they are 99% indoors and are both sporting nice comfy jumpers. And not only do they wear jumpers, they have beautiful warm fluffy beds, AND we cover them in blankets at bed time. It makes me laugh how whenever one of the kids walks past the dog beds, they automatically tuck them in with their blankets - Talk about pampered pooches, they've got us all trained perfectly haha! Hope you are all staying warm! Gorgeous baby Liam was a delight to have in the studio for his newborn session earlier this year! I loved incorporating some family farming items in this session, which included some whips and dads Akubra hat, and I think these worked perfectly with the dark wood backdrop in the studio. Liam also has his very own pair of tiny boots to grow into, how cute are they? Thank you so much Philippa and Justin for an awesome session with your gorgeous little guy! Here are some of the favourites from our session: Its been a LONG time since I've done a running event - 2 years I think. So it was SO awesome to be able to do the GC30 a couple of weeks ago, with some great friends! The lead up to the event was a bit stressful with my right ITB twinging and aching any time I went for even a short run, and my left hamstring had been niggling for several weeks as well... I stopped running two weeks beforehand in a bid to rest it, but they were still a bit sore the night before. I decided to tape my right ITB and hope for the best. It was a beautiful morning on the Gold Coast - although I did have a moment, getting up at 4.30am, when I thought "What the hell am I doing this for?" Also, the queue for the toilets was a bit crazy - we waited 45 mins for a port-a-loo and thought we were going to miss the start - eeek! In the end, the injuries held up ok, the course was amazing (a mixture of road and hard-packed trails, all along Main Beach) and not too busy or crowded, and the time spent with friends was awesome. We did the 15km event and I loved every minute of it (despite the early start!) I purchased the event photos last week and love how I'm smiling a big gumby grin in just about every photo (sharing the not-so-gumby ones here lol) - what a blast - cant wait to do it all again! Beautiful baby Neve was a star during her newborn session in the Tamborine studio earlier this year - mum and dad requested "Natural and neutral tones" and I have to say, they just worked perfectly with this gorgeous little one's natural complexion!
Big sister Layla was so sweet and loved giving her new sibling some gorgeous cuddles. We also managed to get a cute one of both girls in a tutu - what adorable little princesses! Thank you so much Melanie and Jayden! How do you manage the kids time on devices? For me, its a love/hate relationship. I love the ipads because it keeps them quiet, and lets me get some work done. But there are a whole variety of reasons why too much is NOT a good thing for my two. Lately, I'd been saying "yes" a bit too often, and the devices have started to take over - hours and hours of staring at screens. And then the daily requests (sometimes hourly with Master 9!) to have them again, it almost becomes an obsession and just about all they think about. So this last month, we've pulled back. They've gone whole weeks AND sometimes whole weekends without them, or very limited time on them. Yes we get some moaning, but after the initial half hour of being bored and grumpy, suddenly they find stuff to do. They've created LEGO towns, spent hours on the trampoline having fun together, done some cool drawings or read a book, or baked some brownies. Last weekend they came to me with some old mismatched socks and googly eyes, asking if they could make sock puppets! So my goal is to continue to say "no" more often, and encourage their imaginations to go wild. What do you do, to manage the kids time on their devices? This week's blog post features adorable baby girl Lyrik! Lyrik's beautiful mum Hailey loves florals, so Lyrik wore one of my cute little lace floral rompers. It was lovely to capture some gorgeous sibling images with big sister Islah too, both girls were amazing and did everything I asked, and more! Thank you so much Hailey and Cameron, I loved meeting your gorgeous family and capturing these memories for you! Here are some favourites from the session: If you enjoyed this, you might also like:

Our block is pretty sodden, like everyone elses, but we are safe and dry - the only issue so far was a blocked drain and overflowing dam right down the back. The kids school is closed right now so we are home learning again - master 9 did a massive fist pump when he heard that he didn't have to go to school, and actually I'm also pretty happy to be staying off the roads with so much local flooding and mini landslides going on! Here's some photos of what its like at our place today... Sweet little Everleigh came to the studio for her newborn session earlier this year and the theme was natural tones, pinks, purples, and florals - so beautiful! Big sister Layla was all smiles getting to cuddle with her new baby sibling - these early moments are so precious! We got some cute wide eyed/awake images at the start, and then baby Everleigh settled off for a big sleep during the rest of the session. Here are some of the favourites from the day: If you enjoyed this, you might also like:

Blog: Pneumonia ... #newbornphotographer #woodhill #beaudesertphotographer #tamborine #tamborinenewbornphotographer #goldcoastnewbornphotographer #newbornphotographergoldcoast #babyphotos #babyphotographer #beaudesert #newbornphotographygoldcoast #scenicrimphotographer Anyone else got a tween daughter who wants to have TikTok? Miss 11 has asked several times, and we are still holding out on her, much to her disappointment. But she was pretty excited the other week when I announced that I was starting to use it for my business. Think behind the scenes, editing before and afters, a day-in-my-life kinda stuff... Its been kinda fun actually and its got me thinking of fresh new ways to show what I can do! Miss 11 is constantly asking me if I've posted any new TikTok's and if she can have a look... I think she secretly just wants to see what else is out there haha. Are you on TikTok? Let me know your handle and I'll give you a follow! If you want to see what I've been doing, my handle is @hilaryhudsonphotography or use this link: https://www.tiktok.com/@hilaryhudsonphotography?lang=en I know its only March, but its been a pretty busy year for newborns so far! My very first session of 2021 was gorgeous little Chase - and he was amazing!! Such a beautiful little boy to start the year off, he even blessed us with a few cute smiles. The theme for this session was neutral and natural tones, with splashes of blues and greens. We also incorporated a few "baby in hands" poses, which are awesome for those parents who dont necessarily want traditional "posed family" photos, but still want to be part of the session and IN the photos. Here are some of the favourites from the day! They are back at school, and super excited about it! Check out these poses: 1. The standing still "do we have to?" pose 2. The "I dont want to actually touch my sibling" hug (note the hands hovering over shoulders lol) 3. The traditional "rabbit ears" I dont know about you, but I had all these grand plans and a list of things we wanted to do with the kids in the school holidays. Roller skating, parks, playdates and coffee catch ups with friends, maybe a theme park, day trips and bushwalks... But we did NOTHING. I mean, we just . stayed . home. In between family visiting, Christmas, newborn sessions and editing, renovations (my contribution - bogging holes and sanding), staying home while the painter or the plasterer was here etc etc - there just didn't seem to be any time to do anything. We are super lucky that the kids play well together, and generally like each other, but they are really really hanging out to see their school friends again. And I must admit, being the introvert/quiet-loving quiet person that I am, so am I! Today is the day! How are you feeling about 'back to school' day? Are you happy? Or sad? Continuing on from my last post, I'm catching up on some sessions that I didn't get a chance to blog about last year. How gorgeous are these cuties?! If you enjoyed this, you might also like:

Blog Post: Lumpectomy... #newbornphotographygoldcoast #tamborinephotographer #newbornphotos #newbornbabyphotos #babyphotographer #goldcoast #newbornphotographeryarrabilba #yarrabilbaphotographer #jimboombaphotographer #newbornphotographerjimboomba So I have admitted on many occasions that I love winter. I really do - I love wearing jeans, I love boots, I love snuggling up in my dressing gown and ugg boots. I love eating warm, hearty meals, soups, stews, roasts. I love electric blankets and being able to run faster because its not humid. But I dont know if its because of Covid, but I'm really over winter this year. It hasn't been helped by the fact that our house is partly renovated and we've had lots of little gaps and airways exposed for the last few months. And it gets pretty fresh in Tamborine - we've had a few frosts, a few mornings of 1 degree... brrrr! The other morning it was 6 degrees INSIDE the house - I had so many layers on that I looked and felt like the Michelin man! So welcome to Spring! I'm looking forward to the return of warmer days, wearing Birkenstocks and boho dresses, eating more salads and ice blocks, and enjoying the beautiful weather that we are so blessed to have here in Queensland. Sweet little Arliyah was just 10 days old on the day of her newborn session, what a gorgeous little girl - I just love her cute pout! The theme for her session was natural and vintage lace, and the blush pink tones of the wraps and romper complimented these perfectly. Mum and dad brought along some western boots to incorporate into the session, and it adds a perfect country touch to the image! Here are some of the favourites from her session: If you enjoyed this, you might also like:
