Catholic Baptism of Matthew

January 24th, 2010 by Kapa

I thought I was going to have a challenging day today…..as soon as I said hello to Matthew he broke out tears. Obviously a photographer with a big scary camera & flash frightened him, however he soon started to get comfortable with me around.

Soon after he got dressed managed to capture some cute photographs.

Here is Mathew with his big sister Laura. I met Laura over 2 years ago when she was an infant, I photographed her baptism as well.

The church was St Charles Borromeo in Ryde, I got there a bit early & captured this using natural light.

Father Paul had a good demeanour with the children. He invited them up to the baptismal font & explained the significance of the Water.

He then got all the children to assist in the blessing of the water.

Im Back

November 13th, 2009 by Kapa

In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve put my contact page back up. If you have forgotten to book a photographer for your event this year, you may be in luck. As I’ve been off-line for several months, my schedule for the remaining of 2009 is pretty open.

If you’re looking for a photographer for 2010, all I can suggest is don’t procrastinate. Within a week of getting back on line, enquiries have started to come in and the first few months of 2010 is starting to look quite busy.

I’m looking forward to a great Australian summer in Sydney, and should start posting pics & stories in the not too distant future.

Cheers.

Jacaranda Trees

Spring in Sydney is a beautiful time of the year. One of my favourite things is the colour produced by the jacaranda trees.

It’s that time of year when the magpies are born. Every morning a family of maggies come into our yard to pick up the scraps our that fall out of our birds cage. I’ve been unsuccessfully trying to capture a decent image of them, they tend to scatter as soon as they see me approaching, even with my 200 lens, I can’t get close enough….anyway, here is the best of a bad bunch.

Goaaaaaaaallllllll

August 15th, 2009 by Kapa

I’ve been going through my personal photographs, and have to say photographing the under 6′s has been a lot of fun, especially they way they all hover around the ball.

You can see 8 kids in this shot, the fact that it’s 4 a side gives you an indication of how close they play. Also makes it easy for a photographer.

Soccer / Football (de)Motivational Posters

May 27th, 2009 by Kapa

With football season in full swing, I have to admit I have been enjoying my Saturdays watching (shooting) the boys playing. Instead of showing your ordinary sports pics, thought I would start my own line of (de) motivational posters.
