23.12.11 - Bellies + Babies, Family, Kids

Oooh it is literally Christmas Eve 2011 Santa’s coming down my chimney and I’m soo excited to capture my son’s face!! Where has this year disappeared?? I used to think the years are dragging on when I as a teenager, but now, with my own toddler, family and juggling a busy business, it’s all go, go GO! However, at this special time of the year, I really reflect on my achievements, how I have changed the lives of my clients, how I have helped my clients out in anyway possible! I must say, I’m proud to be putting my “gift” of photography to good use!! My latest shoot is Chloe, mum rang me as she saw me shooting at the Pinky McKay event, Sydney. We arranged for some shots of her beautiful daughter Chloe! And this little critter was soo cute I wanted to take her home! Chloe’s eyes were an amazing colour of blue and she just kept smiling at me! I was in heaven:))…Below are some shots from our shoot. Chloe’s wonderful parents received tailored Christmas card images for family and friends. I’m really blessed to have had the opportunity to shoot Chloe and her gorgeous Mum and Dad! Lots of love to you families over this Christmas break…Cheers, Zahrina xox Please leave your comments in the box below these images, thank you:)) Join me on FACEBOOK…http://www.facebook.com/zahrinaphotography

A MOTHERS LOVE..is FOREVER | VIDEO SLIDESHOW | Award Winning Photographer | Zahrina Photography

20.12.11 - Family, Kids

This shoot was one of my many highlights for 2011! Alexander and his mummy Louise were enjoying my company as much as I thoroughly enjoyed theirs. We had a stunning day for weather and the beach was literally empty…Alexander was shy and came out of his lovely little tender shell for me. I could have spent more time with them but little one needed to sleep. What a great age, 19 months and his bond to mum was soo intriguing to capture in all the natural, fun, emotional moments…this is what professional photography is all about, “knowing the moments” and I study my clients and i’m well aware of what they may do next. I guess I have a knowing of when to capture the moment forever…Hope you enjoy my latest video of Alexander and Louise and all comments are Welcome below the video and images…Cheers, Zahrina

PHOTOGRAPHING THE LIVING MEMORIES | Award Winning Photographer | Zahrina Photography

18.12.11 - Bellies + Babies, Family, Kids, Personal

For a long time now, I’ve been watching my dearest friend Emma suffer from a muscle disease. The Doctors can’t tell Emma which “type of disease strain” it is, the good type or the deadly strain. The symptoms in real time that occur can only help them diagnose the strain of this disease. Of all people, I ask myself, why her?  If you remember, I did a shoot of Emma and her 2 little ones on Balmoral Beach at the beginning of this year, March 25th 2011 to be exact. My first shoot with Em and kids is in the archives section section below under “Personal” in March 2011. I’m in so much awe of this woman, I’ve seen her in great pain and she still smiles. She is losing her voice now, so we communicate via text message, this my makes my heart very heavy.

Words can’t describe my love for her as a friend. We met at Montisorri Mosman Under 3′s and clicked straight off, it really was our quirky humour and understanding to take things in humour that has bonded us together. I decided to do another follow up shoot as time is ticking away and her beautiful little ones are growing up with their loving mum’s touch, affection, laughter, fun, and pure admiration…and I have such a strong urge to capture these moments for her children as I want them to remember her in her physical best. Looking at these images, I look at Em and I think the strength she is mustering up to actually just “breathe” as she has to breathe with a machine at night. The Montisorri mums have been incredible in their charity to help her out in support and I personally  feel simply “gifted” to be able to make the greatest of  memories for Em’s kids, as I really love this dear family. There are many more shots, I will share in time…

Sisters – Vintage Inspired Shoot { Award Winning Photography }

09.06.11 - Family, Kids

It’s soo special, in fact it’s a privilege for me to do family shoots that involve documenting the development of  the various wonderful Australian families from newborn stage to toddlers and onto young adults. Featured below, is one such family, i love french inspired vintage looks. Jamiee and Claudia simply took to this shoot, like a two little ducks to water! It was a sunny day recently and the area around us was full of people buzzing around, but the girls were just focused on my lens and not distracted at all…i loved this shoot for the calmness and serenity amongst the trees, just how i visualised this shoot to turn out when i was planning it in my mind. Tracey in the last shot, is Claudia and Jamiee’s mum, she’s a great inspiration to me with 3 little ones in tow!

For all your comments, pls type them in the box below, much appreciate your thoughts, means alot to me:))

STUNNING FAMILY PORTRAITS { Sydney Award Winning Family Photographer}

31.03.11 - Family, Kids

It’s a great pleasure to photograph families!…meeting the wonderful children, babies and parents is a highlight for me. Capturing the varied personalities within the one family is a rewarding challenge. One of the most interesting aspects of shooting families are the combinations of nationalities i am exposed to. We have a melting pot of mixed races in Australia, many many combo deals! the beautiful faces of the children of mixed parents take my breath away. Susan is of chinese background and Mark is of Dutch background… and the kids are soo cute!

It’s a special privilege to be chosen to photograph a family, to do this successfully, the images need to capture their love and warmth as a family from behind me camera and i hopefully have given Susan, Mark, Nicholas , Charlotte and Sophie some lovely shots to cherish forever….Thank you for asking me to photograph your beautiful family!!

For contact details on photographing your special brood, please email me or simply call me on Tel: 0413338826

Hey Sister! {Sydney Portrait Photographer}

23.01.11 - Kids

I have a kind loving brother but i don’t have a gorgeous sister! So when i was photographing Annabelle and Jessica, i fell in love with how these two little sisters interacted softly with each other. Just divine. Little Jessica was a charming 2 year old and Annabelle was a beautiful 4 year old. We arrived on a hot summers day about 33 degrees, Christine my assistant and i started our shoot in the backyard. All of a sudden we were both literally hopping around, the mozzies thought we were lunch and desert! So after slapping on layers of repellant i got back to work to capture the pure wonderment i saw in these 2 little ladies pre-mozzie distraction! Looking for a Sydney Portrait Photographer or a Melbourne Family Photographer, Pls call me, i’m taking bookings now!
