As many of you already know, September has always been a truly special month for me. It's a time of utter happiness and beautiful beginnings, including the arrival of our three much longed for and precious children. Well after much umming & ahhing during the past 12 months or so and with support and gentle encouragement from my wonderful family, friends and clients September seemed the perfect time to finally hit the publish button on my newest "baby".. my Captured by Chrissy Photography BLOG! A special place to share my favourite images and also some sneak peeks from the sessions I have been honoured to photograph too. Taking my passion to capture treasured moments for others to that next level is incredibly exciting, totally exhilarating, very humbling... and so it begins!

Huge 70th Celebration Session!


Recently I was excited to be asked to shoot a very large family session as a surprise gift for a beautiful lady on her 70th birthday. The day chosen couldn't have been more perfect considering the wet weather we had been having and I spent a thrilling afternoon photographing the various family groups gathered at the celebrations.


There were 19 people altogether including 7 kiddies, it was huge, busy and a totally amazing experience for me as a photographer! This cutie pie "Miss O" was super keen to model for me. Isn't she darling?

The birthday girl was obviously happy with her gift. She and her hubby are such a great couple, the affection and love just shines.



Heartfelt thanks to Ange for organising the surprise for her lovely mother-in-law...


...and also to Helen for inviting me into her home to shoot our session. 


Love the soft VINTAGE feel to this large group one.

And here they all are! I was honoured to be a little part of your special 70th birthday celebrations, it was ever so wonderful meeting you all. I truly hope you enjoy your sneak peeks here (you have extras since there were so many of you *grin*) and will treasure the portraits I've captured of your happy relaxed family on the day. All your proofs will be ready to view on my proofing website in the next day or so, I will email you the addy so keep your eye on your inbox.  :)
