a very special little boy [canberra newborn photographer]
You know when you meet someone for the first time and it feel like you have known them forever?? that is the way I felt when I first met Jen in Spetember last year. We had been chatting on a forum for a few years but never had we met. Then during the shool holidays last year I made a quick decision to go to visit my brother in Orange, it then dawned on me that he is not that far away from where Jen lived so made arrangements to visit her and her two boys aswell. Well we didn’t stop chatting the whole day, it was really relaxed and her two boys and my four boys played so well.
Now Jen is a fabulous and I mean fabulous photographer you can check out her work here and I decided late last year that I wanted her to do our family photos….yes I am having my photo taken aswell. At the time Jen was pregnant with her third little boy so we made a time for when she will feel like picking up the camera again. I was thinking how nice it will be to have some photos of me with my boys and that got me thinking about Jen having photos with her boys. Suddenly one of those lightbulb moments hit me so I sent her a message…as we do in this day and age of modern technology….offering her a newborn session so that she could be in some of the photos with her brand new bubba.
Well over this seriously rainy weekend I travelled to Orange and then to Bathurst to do some photos for Jen of her new baby Mitchell Quinn. He was just so gorgeous, with the most amazingly smoochy lips. He slept the whole day with only a couple of feed breaks. Now I ended up there quite a while due to the fabulous storms passing through the area, and while it played havok with thelight at times we still managed to get some gorgeous photos.
So here we are….introducing Mitchell Quinn Stocks aged 10 days.
and this is the gorgeous Jen and her husband Damien
Thanks so much for letting me spend the day with you guys, I just wished we lived closer so we could catch up for coffees. The love you two have for your boys is overflowing, they are so lucky to have such kind and caring parents. I know that you will be surrounded by three fabulous strapping lads that you will be proud of in 15 years time.

Oh NAT! Thank you so much. I LOVE them so much. You have given me the most wonderful gift! I love the way you have captured him, and I especially love the one of the three of us together!! So excited. Thank you thank you thank you. It is so fun having photos done for you instead of doing them yourself! I only hope I can do half the job you have done for us when I photograph your family. Can’t wait to see the rest! xxxoooxx
