Hello to you all. Have I got some cuties for you. Here are some of the shots Tess and I took for the second group of Babies in Beanies this week. They’re all so adorable in their little beanies. If you’ve been following the competition over the past few years I’m sure you’ll recognise some of the children. It’s lovely seeing them come back each year and grow.

Yesterday saw the start of our 2012 Babies in Beanies and the weather sure put on a show for us. We managed to avoid the rain for most of the shoots but man was it cold! There were some divine little divas who new how to work it for the camera and as you will see, some not so willing. Here are a few of our gorgeous bubs – You may even recognise a few there a lots of entrants from previous years. Enjoy!
Just love this little guy!

Anthony and Kate decided on a very intimate wedding with a simple rustic theme. Lanyon Homestead was the perfect place for such a wedding. I love Lanyon – it’s such a beautiful setting for a wedding – a photographer’s dream really with it’s multitude of buildings and gardens. What made it even more fun was Anthony and Kate’s ‘up for anything’ attitude. We got some great images using some old vintage cases and a box brownie camera that Kate and Anthony brought along for the shoot. I hope all Kate’s family back in Canada enjoy the images. PS. Isn’t Kate’s son Alec to die for – I think he will be breaking a few hearts along the way! Wishing Kate and Anthony a fantastic future together.

With the launch of the 4th annual Babies In Beanies photo competition, Snowgum Studio is looking for Canberra’s Cutest Baby in a Beanie! The competition was established to raise funds for the Newborn Intensive Care Foundation (NCIF), a local Canberra charity which assists in the development of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Canberra Hospital. To date we have raised over $20,000 for the foundation. The Babies In Beanies competition is open to all children aged 0-5 years with babies being photographed at Canberra’s picturesque Snowgum Studio. Our studio has an indoor and unique outdoor studio which is perfect to capture all the little cuties at this beautiful stage in their lives.
I am passionate about supporting the NICF after my Canberra based sister, had to go to Sydney for the birth of her premature twins because of lack of resources in the Neonatal Intensive Unit at Canberra Hospital. …the children have thrived and are now happy and healthy, but there are many more families and babies who need these valuable services in the Canberra Region every day.
The Unit admits approximately 650 babies each year, more than 150 of whom require assisted ventilation using sophisticated equipment not available elsewhere. The Babies In Beanies competition will raise funds specifically for equipment needed by the Newborn Intensive Care Unit at the Canberra Hospital.
Parents can enter their children in the competition online (link at the bottom of this post). There is a $40 entry fee of which $30 will be donated to the Newborn Intensive Care Foundation to purchase much needed equipment. The winner of the competition will be featured on the front cover of the Canberra Weekly on 7th June. The winning Baby and the winning sponsorship baby will receive a large framed portrait from Snowgum Studio, a gift from Little Living and a gorgeous new Beanie from Ruby Q Kidswear .
