hello gorgeous.

hello again world. i have come out from hiding. it's spring! so yes, i'm not hibernating anymore hopefully. we are moving into our new house this weekend, i'm sooooo excited! as much as its been great and we've been so blessed to be able to live with the in laws.... i think i'm ready to have my house trashed for the day so kids can do whatever they want, and i'll just clean up at night. haha.

so i suppose moving country isn't as easy as 1,2,3...

i didn't take into account that emotionally you could go up and down so much... and you could say i'm so homesick. hmmm, yes my friends.. i do miss you all! i need to make new friends....

to cheer you all up, here is my recent shoot after not having mr. Ay-Jay out of his camera bag for months.... ta da!!! hope you like them. aren't they sweet?

my kitchen helper

there she goes sitting down on her "helping spot". Every time after we finished the mess seems to accumulate around that spot.

My little princess, can't believe she's so grown up. love her to bits.

Sorry about the slack on posting blogs. Life has been so full on with moving country. Golly gosh! and it's not easy being apart from the hubby (who seems to pick up my slack during wedding season big time quite immensely)

Happy New Year

Happy New Year 2012!

it's very rare for me to have internet on my lappy while on holiday! gosh

so here is my new years resolution. lets give 365 project a crack hey! amongst all the other busy things of course... haha. this will be a 365 of our little family. x

day 01. had a boating morning + afternoon. my little man is due for his afternoon nap and the only place we could think of is in the back of dad's BMW. the funny thing about it... the last time i saw a picture of dad's boot, it's got a dead deer that Jeremy shot. And now. it's my little man sleeping. lol

happy birthday to Jesus

hello! Happy Christmas 2011! sorry i'm a bit late but today is the only day i've got internet on my lappy. so yay! hope everyone had a beautiful day spent with family and friends celebrating the best guy's birthday who's ever walked this earth; Jesus.

in the other side of the note. look what my big boy and my princess got for Christmas.

boy toy!

pretty little princess

So much in my thoughts right now. I did consider to do a 365 project of my family. oh dear... then thought of doing a 52 weeks project. that would be lovely wouldn't it? hahaha, i know the hard work that goes behind those projects... if you haven't been, check out Inspiration 365 by my bestie Sommer Dawn. yes... A lot of work. but... so worth it in the end.
Judging from my lack of blog posting, i would so fail within the first month hahaha.

Meet the super cute little miss Isla Rose. She's my cousin's little darling and Tave is so in love with her!! Had some time spent with her during the New Zealand holiday and it so wasn't enough! isn't she sooooo lovely? i could eat her! nom nom nom.

two little chickeedee and their nanna

Christmas time... family time....
we totally had such fun last holiday. we just got back from New Zealand yesterday and yay for my editing laptop back! just a little snippets of what fun things the girls got up to during the holidays... momma got to chill out lots with big belly comfortable with some Francine Rivers book. bliss!

ps. 7 weeks to go! counting down! oh my goodness!

We have landed!

Happy Holiday everyone! We landed in New Zealand at Christmas Eve in Queenstown! ohhhh so so so so soooo beautiful! I've got a new lappy to work on my blog with so bare with me. this is going to take longer than expected. i should've took my other lappy.

Christmas day was amazing!!!!!!!! Being with family on Christmas day after missing Christmas with them for 3 years is definitely PRICELESS! sigh.... love love love it here! yes... i have got more to blog about.
Until then, much love to you from my family and i xoxo

sisterly love.

I get the giddy feeling when I was editing this session. I love love love sisterly love, cuddles and kisses!
Since we have no idea what we're having and miss Tavé is so sold that she is having a little sister (as she ALWAYS reminds me that she loves her little sister inside mommy's tummy whenever she cuddles me)

Jeremy and I honestly wouldn't mind having 2 girls... awwww... imagine the pretend play they will have together, not to mention... endless tea party. Jeremy just wanted a boy who he can teach rugby or cricket i think... and be rough with... yeah...

love love! sisterly love indeed. I might have another competition on guessing what the sex of the baby is AND need help with names! aaargghhh... it would be the hardest task in the world i think.... choosing the perfect name for your baby/ies!

January 2011

I was posting the last blog and totally forgot to mention it here about what we're doing in January! arghhh! anyway... here it is:

"to all our fans and lovers of Renita Stuart Photography, 100% of the funds from any pregnancy, family, pet, or child session in January 2011 are going to be donated directly to SIDS and Kids: First Birthday present to my son in heaven.- Asa Stuart"

Spots are limited as I will be in New Zealand for 1/3 of the month so it's all a go go go! wooooohoooo.
On the side note, let me make you happy with these beautiful pics of a fellow photographer Felicity Marler from Central Coast. Isn't her family so lovely?

two little indians.

1 little... 2 little... forget the 3, 4 and 5... haha.
that little Indians song was one of the first English song i learnt (mmm... back when i was 10?) lol
again... another magical session from Jinky workshop in Canberra... I'm slowly crawling myself back into editing more from the workshop! I'm still catching up! aaaaa....
at the same time, I'm also organising Tavé's 3rd birthday. what party did she request? ballerina!!!! and seems like she's been organising it for months! oh my gosh. it's gotta be the party of the century i think!

For you kiwis out there, I am excitingly heading towards your way for Christmas and New Year! so I'm opening session times in Queenstown, Cromwell, Wanaka and Christchurch. If you're interested, please email me and yay for some New Zealand fun!

to the kiwi land we go.

so... stepping out of my comfort zone right now and opening up a overseas session for family, children, baby, maternity or simply just "take my photos, will ya?" session. And the lucky first overseas session is picked in lovely NEW ZEALAND! well, it's not so much overseas (echo: overseas)... it's home. It's where I spent my teenage years... it's where my hubby's from... and it's where we met... back in high school in grade 11 (grade 10 australian)... bless.

so New Zealand it is! if you're interested on booking or knowing about details, simply please email me and say gid'day at renita@renitastuart.com

as for this lovely momma and little boy, recently had a lovely session at currumbin valley. sigh, i didn't know such pretty place exist, we had a wonderful time!
