Studio News!

2010-09-27T03:22:00.001-07:00

Just a quick post to let you know that my website is currently down and I do not have access to my webmail!!! I am hoping that it is all sorted by next week, but in the meantime, if you have sent me an email and I haven't responded, this is why. You are more than welcome to email me at jemma.entriken@bigpond.com and just put White Wish Inquiry as the subject.

I apologise for any inconvenience.

On a brighter note, I have had some beautiful sessions over the last couple of weeks that I look forward to sharing soon. Also a divine wedding for me to photograph this coming Saturday!

Stunning Mummy-to-Be ♥

2010-09-14T23:54:00.000-07:00

I squished this session in on the first of September, just before I started my September holiday and I am so glad that I did!!! Meet Emma, one of the most gorgeous expectant Mummies I have ever had the priveledge of photographing ♥ She came equipped with a delicious wardrobe and amazing accessories for the perfect maternity session.... Also thankful we captured it then was Emma, who delivered her precious bub just 4 days after our session ~ two weeks early! Phew!!!

Today I met bub and Dad and had another glorious session ~ but for now, enjoy this Sneak Peek and please leave a comment below and feel free to share the link to the blog with friends and family :) It was tough deciding which ones to share because I LOVE them all, but here are a few of my favourites.

Have you ever seen a cuter track suit? ♥

I ADORE this scarf!

Daughters ♥

2010-09-14T23:03:00.000-07:00

Like I said in my previous post, old friends coming to White Wish to have me capture their families makes me feel truly blessed. Michelle and I went through high school together... needless to say, we had a ball too! ♥

Unfortunately we didn't quite make it in time to capture those sleepy first days but thankfully we were able to get some lovely shots all the same :) Thanks for coming back with your sweet new addition Michelle x You have a beautiful family xxxxx

Enjoy your Sneak Peek and be sure to leave a comment below

Don't be fooled!! Little K did not sleep more than 6 minutes the entire session ;p How I caught this one, even I don't know ♥

Beautiful Big Sister S

I love it when I am given the opportunity to photograph old friends ♥ I certainly had some fun with M in the 'old days'!!! Oh the memories!

The gorgeous Michelle came for her maternity session with her beautiful boy M :) And she has since given birth to little princess M whom I am hoping to meet next week. I am so happy for you and Mick!

Enjoy your Sneak Peek! So glad we went with this dress Michelle ~ you look beautiful!!!

White Wish NEWS FLASH ♥

2010-08-25T21:09:00.000-07:00

Just a quick post to let my gorgeous clients know that I am taking personal leave for the month of September. We are heading to Fraser Island for a week and for the remainder, I will simply be taking time to smell the roses ♥ It will be my first 'official' holiday in quite some time and after what has happened this year, I am REALLY looking forward to it. I will be putting my mobile aside, so it is probably best to shoot me an email and I will answer when I return at the beginning of October. Also in early October, I am shooting a very special wedding ♥ so be sure to keep checking in!!!

Monday marks a VERY special day ~ our beautiful Belle will turn One. I can't believe it. Time passes us by way too quickly. She is such a blessing, allbeit, a determined little blessing ;) It is party time on Saturday so I will have to blog about it during my holiday.

I'll leave you with some of my favourite images from Mandy and Jamie's Engagement Session ~ YES... this is the upcoming wedding I will be privelleged to capture. They truly are as beautiful inside as they are out ♥ Can't wait till their big day!

Master H ♥ GOLD COAST PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY

2010-08-14T18:52:00.000-07:00

I should probably put a warning on this Post.....

WARNING.... this Cute little bubby MAY CAUSE A SEVERE CASE OF CLUCKINESS!!!!! ♥

Meet Master H... he first visited me for a newborn session last September...

And came back for a session with his Daddy, Mummy and Pa yesterday. I adore EVERY image ~ his amazing eyes are the windows to his soul and melt a bit of my heart ♥

Thanks so much for coming back to White Wish. I hope you LOVE your images as much as I do :) Please leave a comment below and feel free to share this link with friends and family ~ if he was mine, I would want the whole world to see!

Sweet Sweet Newborn Sweetness!!!

2010-08-14T18:41:00.000-07:00

Oh how I love to capture newborn goodness ♥ Little Princess H was just 8 days old, but came 10 days early, so technically -2 days old! She arrived with her beautiful Mum and Dad and stunning big sister. A wonderful session.

Thanks for coming to White Wish! Enjoy your Sneak Peek and feel free to share this link with family and friends. Looking forward to sharing your whole session with you on Friday :)

Brothers ♥ GOLD COAST PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

2010-07-17T21:51:00.000-07:00

A couple of weeks ago, I had a visit from an old work colleague and lovely friend Paige. She brought her boys for a session and wasn't wrong when she told me "I hope you have your running shoes on!!!" lol :) I replied with "I have a broken toe, so no running shoes possible - so they had better play nice!!!" ;) It was a busy session, but worth it with the results!!!

Paige, thanks so much for coming to visit me in my studio. It means so so much for you to come and support my business and give me the opportunity to create some special art for you. It was so lovely to catch up xxx

I can't wait to see this first image as a canvas!!! Very special. And a couple of other favourites to share too. Please feel free to share this Blog link with friends and family and leave a comment by clicking on the link below.

There is something about Master K that melts a little bit of my heart ♥ Sweetheart ♥

Master X ~ those baby blues and porcelien skin ALSO melt my heart ♥ And will more than likely melt a few more hearts down the track ♥

Sweet Perfection ♥ Gold Coast Newborn Photographer

2010-07-05T22:32:00.000-07:00

I am blessed with such beautiful clientelle and it is clients like these that make me realize just how lucky I am to be a photographer. From the moment I met this family, I knew they were beautiful inside and out. Their warm smiles; the love for their girls oozing from their every pore; their appreciation of custom portraiture; even down to their perfectly ironed selection of designer dresses for Miss A. Just perfect ♥

I captured some divine images of their brand new princess as well some very special shots of big sister A, whom might I add, had possibly the best eye-lashes I have EVER seen!!! My only regret was not getting Mum & Dad in on the action!!! Next time for sure :)

This first image was ordered as a big canvas print ~ Canvas Prints are without a doubt the most popular product in the Studio and I think it will look delicious on their wall, don't you?! Please enjoy this selection of SOME of my favourite images from this beautiful session and if you have a moment, please leave me some 'blog love' in the comments area below.

Studio News ♥

2010-06-06T17:49:00.000-07:00

I can't believe it has already been nearly 10 weeks since losing Dad. Such a difficult time made a little easier by the love and support of those around me. Over this time, I have done in excess of 20 sessions! I thought if I kept myself busy, it would help to keep my mind off the reality of everything, but in the process combined with the fact that little Belle is STILL waking me about 6 times a night, I have found myself a bit swamped.

So to all of my beautiful clients, who have waited for longer to view your galleries, or receive your orders, I am so sorry. Obviously, I bit off more than I could chew!!! Hopefully your portraits will be worth the wait.

Things are beginning to get back on track ~ I have several orders going out this week, and I am looking forward to lots of wonderful things for White Wish over the next 12 months. I attended a day workshop with an amazing photographer from America 'Brianna Graham' and am feeling very inspired! I will share a few images from this day plus more client shares over the next couple of weeks.

My little family was also lucky enough to model for 'Raye Law' another uber-talented US photographer, for this years amazing Inspire Me photographer's workshop. I am so thrilled with the images I have seen so far and look forward to sharing them with you all.... and getting some up on my walls!!!

There will be a little change in my Blogging too. Sneak Peeks are being replaced with Artist's Faves and will be shared after ordering sessions.

And because a post is not a post without an image, my little Bluebelle ♥ Did I mention that she is 9 months already????? She walks around furniture and tries to let go! Waves, claps and is pretty cute all round ♥ .... apart from the sleeping department!!!! :D

I love it when 'my' little newborns come back to visit me in the studio! ♥ I first photographed sweet little O six months ago when he was brand new. He was a treasure then, and still is now ♥ Such a wonderful age to capture. Such a sweet heart with beautiful parents ~ he is a very lucky boy ~ and they are very lucky parents ♥

Thanks for bringing O back to White Wish, Sam. Hope you & Michael enjoy these couple of Sneak Peek images! I will be in touch when the rest of his gallery is ready ♥

Little Prince ♥ GOLD COAST BABY PHOTOGRAPHER ♥

2010-05-17T21:35:00.000-07:00

My apologies that I am a little behind in my Blogging!!!
I am ususally Miss Efficient with the Blog, but honestly the days have been rolling in to one right now! I have been super busy with sessions and running on empty with some serious sleep deprivation.... Lucky Belle is so sweet or she would be in some serious trouble!!! ♥ But... all whinging aside, I have some gorgeous sessions to share with you over the next few weeks.

First, Master X... Thanks for being so patient waiting for your Sneak Peek!!! He was such a sweetie. All the way from Rockhampton with his Mummy for a trip to see Nana ♥ Enjoy ♥ And please leave a comment below and feel free to share this link with friends and family.

I can see clearly now the rain has gone... ♥

2010-05-02T21:14:00.000-07:00

I can see clearly now the rain has gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's going to be a bright, bright sunshiny day

I think I can make it now the pain has gone
And all of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day

Look all around there's nothing but blue skies
Look straight ahead nothing but blue skies
I think I can make it now the pain has gone
And all of the bad feelings have disappeared
I can see clearly now the rain has gone
It's gonna be a bright, bright Sunshiny day

This song has been ringing away in my head all morning ♥ And although my rain may not have totally cleared, I know that the sun is ready to shine a little brighter for me.

It has been a painful five weeks since my gorgeous Daddy died and things haven't been easy. Today, I really feel like things are looking brighter and it is all thanks to a meeting with an extraordinary lady. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I know that my Dad is always with me even though I can't see him. Thank-you Daddy for shining through for me today at a time when I really needed it. I love you so much and am ready to face the world with fewer tears and more smiles just for you. I'm ready to take my business to new heights and I know that you will be with me for the ride.

Love you Daddy ♥ So proud of the man that you are and so thankful that you are my Dad ♥
Thank you for today ~ it meant the world to me

On Friday, Kaitlin & Scott brought their perfect little bubby boy to the studio for his first session with White Wish. I have known Kate my whole life ~ we are almost 'Faux cousins' ~ so it was just so beautiful to see her smitten with her first bub. You already make fine parents! Nice choice J ♥

2010-04-26T22:39:00.000-07:00

Have I mentioned that 7 months is one of my FAVOURITE ages to capture??? They are full to the brim of gorgeous expressions, infectious personality, are usually pretty stationary!! Last week I was re-visited by sweet little L. I photographed him as a newborn and already he is almost 7months.... where does the time go?? It was an EASY shoot ~ a face that I could shoot all day long ~ every shot a keeper!

Thanks Maree for bringing him back for another session with White Wish. He is so so classically beautiful. Must play cupid with him & Belle later ;)

Love was obviously in the air last June ♥ because there has been a wave of newborn bubs through the studio lately, and I'm not complaining. I just adore newborn sessions!

On Tuesday my cousin brought her newest princess {and her bigger princess!!} for her first photo shoot. Miss I was the perfect little darling ~ leaving us with some truely gorgeous images.

Today I had a beautiful session with darling Miss R. I photographed her Mummy's tummy a few weeks back and today I had the pleasure of meeting her. Perfectly exquisite, just like her big sister, but hey ~ with genes like this.... you're bound to be beautiful!!! ♥

I am in love with these images and hope you will be too. Thanks for your patience today xxx

My Dad ♥

2010-03-28T02:29:00.000-07:00

Just when you think things are looking brighter, a devastating blow.
Apparently someone, somewhere, decided my beautiful Dad's time was up.
Once again, they were horribly wrong.
Last Thursday began life without my Dad.
I can't begin to explain the feelings that I have been feeling.
It is so surreal, yet so real.
I feel numb and lonely.
Like a piece of my heart has gone.
Life has changed.
I feel ripped off.
I love you so much Daddy ~ wish you were around for a lot longer, but I promise to try to savour the memories and celebrate your life. Thank you for everything. May you enjoy being with your beautiful brothers and loving parents once again ♥

To my clients, please forgive me if your orders take longer to get to you or if I do not respond to your emails promptly.

Sweet Miss F ♥ GOLD COAST PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

2010-03-24T16:47:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I had a studio session with a gorgeous friend and her equally gorgeous little princess. Sweet sixteen months is such a busy little age to photograph!! I sure got my work-out ;) and am happy to deliver some beautiful portraits of a beautiful little girl.

I hope you enjoy H & G!! It was so lovely to catch up ♥ Please leave a comment by clicking on the link below and feel free to share the link with friends and family xxx

A beautiful day ♥

2010-03-22T19:59:00.000-07:00

Today has been a wonderful day for me... One of those days I am extra thankful for all that I have in my life. It may have something to do with the fact that I had my first full night's sleep in weeks!!!!! yahoooooo!!!!! or something to do with the inspiring video Ainslie posted on Facebook today? You seriously need to click on this link ~ it will take you to Nic Vujicic's video 'Never Gave Up' on YouTube ~ turn up the volume and be inspired by this incredible individual.

Probably a combination. I feel so blessed for my life and those in it. I seriously am married to an amazing man.... he is the doer of all doers! Last week I mentioned I would like a new shelf in the studio {that he built! of course} and the next day he was installing it! He is a beautiful Daddy and a beautiful person and is the L♥Ve of my life. Whatever did I do to deserve him? ♥ And to think that I am doing a job that I adore, working from home and raising my family? Sometimes I need to pinch myself.

Enough of my happy rant :) We shed enough tears for Kosta last week so I knew this week would be brighter.

Also in the studio I have a new display, for my gorgeous new shelf! I discovered Kristy and Alex whilst shopping online {shhhhhhhhhh!!!} ~ they are 2 talented women, living on cattle properties, homeschooling their children and still finding time to create divine accessories for their business. You can visit their blog at AnK Bowtique ~ their designs are absolutely delicious and are available for sale in ther studio, so make sure you check it out next time you visit. Of course Belle already has some special pieces and Chloe couldn't go without either!!! But there are plenty left and they would make a gorgeous gift for any little girl.

Wrapping up this post with some photos ~ shock!!!! Enjoy x

My girl, modelling a divine singlet from AnK...

My Prince with a serious Belle...

The new display for AnK...

Farewell Kosta :(

2010-03-17T20:48:00.000-07:00

It has been a sad old week for our family ~ on Tuesday we had to have our gorgeous Staffy 'Kosta' put to sleep. His poor little body was full of tumors and it was time for him to be at peace. To say it has been hard is an understatement. He was such a part of this family ~ our first 'baby' really. Jay has never cried so much in his whole 8 years... he is our sensitive little babe, takes after me in that department!! Chloe was strong until the final final goodbye and we all blubbered the whole way home. Hate seeing Glenny so sad too :( And there will be constant reminders which will set off the tears all over again.

I took some snaps of our last time with him ~ in the chaos of rushing out of the house to the vet, I grabbed my big camera but didn't check the batteries which were flat. Luckily I took my little SLR too... so, no portraits here ~ on-camera-flash in all it's glory, but still, memories that we will cherish forever. And a storyboard from some shots of Kos in the studio in December.

Bye Kossie :( We love you. Thanks for the memories xoxoxoxoxoxox

Sweet Expectations ♥ GOLD COAST MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER

2010-03-13T16:29:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I had a studio session with a life-long family friend who is due to have her first little bubs at the end of April. K, you look just beautiful ~ though it still spins me out a bit that you 'little girls' are having babies!!!! When did we all get so grown up?? ♥

I hope you love your images & I cannot wait to meet Master S!!! xxx

The exquisite Miss M ♥ GOLD COAST NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER ♥

2010-03-11T22:46:00.000-08:00

Today the lovely Nat & Crossy brought their precious little bundle for a session in the studio. Without a doubt, newborns are one of my very favourite subjects. Meet Miss M ♥ 2 weeks old, but 1 week off being born ~ she arrived 3 weeks early ~ if that makes sense ;) She was perfect for me the entire session.

M is exquisite, but then again Mum & Dad are both gorgeous, so she had good odds!! It is hard to believe Nat has ever been pregnant ~ she looks absolutely incredible!!!! Wow Wow AND Wow :)

Enjoy your Sneak Peek guys and please leave a comment below and feel free to share the link to the blog with friends and family xxx

Look at these perfect little bubba wrinkles!!!

The beautiful new family...

and one of my many favourites...

Little Cherubs ♥ GOLD COAST PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER ♥

2010-03-08T17:02:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I had a studio session with some gorgeous little cherubs. The eldest two ~ blonde hair, blue eyed and little number 3 inheriting his Mum's beautiful olive skin and big brown eyes. A bit like my 3, but in reverse! Rochelle and I have known eachother since grade 1 ~ yes, that would be about 27 years!!!!!! so it was lovely to catch up.

So I finally had a little boy bub to model my little vintage overalls that have been on my prop shelf for months and I got some Gorgeous shots!!! Thanks Rochelle for being open to my idea ;)
and thanks kids for being the gorgeous kids that you are!

Enjoy your Sneak Peek and feel free to leave a comment below and to share the link with friends and family. x

And.... just one more! How cute is this expression??? Divine ♥

CUTIE PATOOTIE ♥ {Gold Coast Portrait Photographer}

2010-02-25T22:29:00.000-08:00

Today I had a sweet studio session with one seriously cutie patootie! Meet Miss I, eight months young.... All the way from Emerald. Such a little superstar in front of the camera ~ have i mentioned how much I L♥VE this age group???? So, if like Brooke, you can't make it to a newborn session, this is the next best stage to capture for sure.

Enjoy your Sneak Peek Brookey! Thanks for bringing I to the studio :) Will be in touch as soon as I have your gallery ready. xxx

Handsome♥ {GOLD COAST PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER}

2010-02-22T17:31:00.000-08:00

Once in a while, a photographer sees a face that they MUST capture. Whether it be the hair, the eyes, the freckles or the whole package.... Meet handsome Master A ~ the first little dude for my Fresh Faces Campaign this year. Thanks R for accepting my offer, and thanks A for not only looking the part, but also for acting the part..... little legend ♥ I think this face should be gracing the covers of magazines!!!

Miss Content ♥ GOLD COAST NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

2010-02-21T23:26:00.000-08:00

I had a little angel visit me in the studio thismorning... Miss M. One of the most content little cherubs I have ever met. And, she came all the way from Canberra! Granted the primary reason was to meet family, but still, she came to see me too and I am very grateful ;)

She arrived with eyes wide open, giving me some precious awake images, then I rocked her off to 'snoozeville' and captured some gorgeous shots. I think Mum & Dad may have also managed to catch some zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz while I was working?!! :)

Thanks so much R and J for coming to White Wish Photography. It was lovely to meet you. You are going to L♥VE your images!!! Enjoy that precious bundle you have there ~ she is absolutely divine. I will be in touch shortly. Please leave a comment by clicking below and feel free to share this link with family and friends.

Welcome to Cassie ~ Studio Manager for White Wish Photography

2010-02-04T00:00:00.000-08:00

It is Official! I am so excited to announce that White Wish has become quite the busy little business for me and yesterday I made the decision to put on a 'Studio Manager'. Introducing Cassie ~ who will be working with me on Tuesdays for now, and hopefully more days down the track. I have been a lot busier than I had anticipated over my maternity leave and trying to juggle baby Belle with running a business has proved quite the challenge. Cassie will be a great asset.

She is a wonderful Mum to two beautiful, lucky little kids and has a great passion for photography. Her duties will include helping with Belle, assisting with sessions, packaging orders, maintaining paperwork, emailing and whatever else we can pack in to her day ;) Look out Cassie!!! Seriously though, I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders already and she hasn't even started yet. Welcome aboard Cassie :)

I am presently in the process of contacting each and everyone on my waiting list for a session in 2010. Priority will be given to newborns and maternity and I will work down the list from when people emailed me. If you could please email me back promptly to let me know if the proposed session date works for you, that would be wonderful. I am hoping to book 2 sessions per week to give me time to spend with bubby {who may I add is growing up WAY too quickly!!!}

And because a post is not a post without a photo, the lovely Cassie. x

Thanks so much for coming to my studio ♥ I hope you enjoy these portraits as much as I enjoyed creating them for you! Your little girl has chosen fine parents ~ a very lucky little princess indeed.

Blue-eyed Babe ♥ GOLD COAST BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

Today little H came in for a quick mini-session and was a co-operative little, handsome superstar!!! I didn't get many individual shots of him yesterday at the beach, so I invited him to the studio for a little bit of fun today. He is such a beautiful baby ~ Lauren & Chris you are truly blessed. Thanks so much from bringing him in for me.

Just two for now ~ I hope you enjoy these images ♥ I am loving the tootsie poking out in the first shot ;) Too cute. And the little expression in the 2nd, priceless ♥

Family ♥ GOLD COAST FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

About 10 years ago, back in my Child Care days, I cared for 2 gorgeous little cuties E & M. Yesterday I had the pleasure of seeing them all grown up [well ~ nearly 13 and 10 :) ] and more beautiful than ever. I also met Lauren and Chris and their adorable baby boy H, who is blessed with the most scrumptious baby blues!!

Thanks Cathy & Brian for asking me to be your photographer. It was lovely to catch up with you and your gorgeous family. I love so many portraits from your session ~ and hope you will too.

Please enjoy your Sneak Peek and feel free to leave a comment below and share the link with friends and family.

Chloe ♥

2010-01-04T22:38:00.000-08:00

While the boys are away, the girls will play! Today I took Chloe to the movies for a bit of one-on-one time with my 'big girl'. We saw 'The Princess & the Frog' and Chlo loved it. Belle stayed home with Glen and Jay then in the afternoon we swapped, Glen took Jay to see 'Old Dogs' and I stayed at home with the girls. It was a nice special day with our babes. Once Belle went down for a nap, Chloe and I had a play.... with the camera of course!!

She is the sweetest little thing and oh so pretty ~ and LOVEs the camera which is always a bonus ;) We bit the bullet, and sent some photos into a modelling agency and she has an interview on Monday so that should be fun. Regardless of whether she gets accepted or not, we think she is ♥Beautiful♥ inside and out!

Growing up WAY too quickly, Chloe ~ 5 and a half.

Thanks for looking x

Happy New Year ♥

2009-12-31T01:49:00.000-08:00

I seriously cannot believe how fast this year has flown by! It seems like just yesterday we found out we were expecting bub #3 and it was 12 months ago!!! Belle has fitted in just perfectly. She truly is the best baby and is loved to bits by her doting big brother and sister. Not to mention Mummy & Daddy ♥ Seriously can't get enough. I am so incredibly thankful for my family and looking forward to seeing what 2010 has in stall for us.

Business-wise, I have LOTS of plans for White Wish. There will be Blog competitions, model searches and loads more, so please check back every once in a while. I have a long list of new clients ready to go and am thoroughly looking forward to meeting everyone.

I'll leave you with a couple of shots of baby Belle from today ~ natural light in studio ♥ Four months already x

♥ CHEERS! and HAPPY NEW YEARS ♥

Today I had little O and his parents join me in the studio for his very first photo shoot. Nine days new and as cute as they come ~ seriously!!!!! He had the cutest, tiniest little face! Oh, my Belle is growing far too quickly!!! Once we got him to sleep {thanks Mum & Dad} he was a total superstar. I am in LOVE with the images from his session and think you will be too.

Yesterday I had a visit from Master N and his gorgeous little sister M. This handsome little character is from Chloe's class and she is just a wee bit smitten with him ~ and it is easy to see why! ~ he is a real charmer :) We had a busy but productive session and I am really looking forward to sharing the whole session with Mum.

Baby Belle xxx

2009-11-11T23:09:00.000-08:00

Our little baby Belle is 10 weeks old already. Her name means 'beautiful' and she is all that and more ~ such a good baby, so content. She sleeps so soundly that I miss her through the day. I am feeling incredibly blessed! She is full of smiles and starting to laugh :) Jay and Chloe adore her. Life is beautiful.

I am really looking forward to next year, when I am fully back to business. I have lots of plans and a few changes in stall. So far, I have 24 clients on the list waiting for sessions, so I will soon be contactin you to secure dates so that I am ultra organised. I also have a special little project that I will be working on over the year in which some very special little people will be involved. It will be a wonderful year.

Sharing just one of Belle today ~ in my favourite basket ~ my little Strawberry Shortcake with one of her more serious faces :) x

Cousin Love xxx

2009-11-09T17:35:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I did a little favour for a special friend. Her lovely sister was in town and they wanted to get some portraits of their kiddies together. It was a last minute session in the studio, and I wasn't feeling too well, but I'm glad I did it. I got to meet little Baby K who was just delicious!!! One of the cutest little faces I have ever seen ~ I want her back !!! And Miss G, beautiful as ever and loving the camera. And Master T, not quite loving it as much as his sister, but I still think we got some special shots :)

Hope you all like the Sneak Peek.... I love them :) Please feel free to share the link with family and friends and leave me a comment below. x

Suncorp Stadium Stars!!!

2009-10-19T19:37:00.000-07:00

On Saturday our Jay and his fellow Loganholme Leopards played a halftime game during the Brisbane Roar game at Suncorp Stadium. He was 'nervous' on the bus ride in, but full of excitement once he was on the field. What an amazing experience for the boys! I got in trouble from officials for my camera [what a rebel :)] but it was worth it.... who knows if he will ever set foot on the grass at Suncorp again... it had to be captured. It was a score-less game, leaving the boys officially undefeated ALL season! Go Leopards!!!!

Our Sweetest Little Princess!!!

2009-10-19T18:28:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone!

Just checking in with some new pics of our little Belle. Also trying to display larger pics... forgive me while I play around... hopefully it will work Eventually! HTML is not my specialty unfortunately :)

It is hard to believe that our precious baby girl is 2 months this Sunday! Time flies when you're having fun ~ and we are having a ball :) She is the sweetest little princess and such an easy bub. Jay and Chloe are so beautiful to her..... just have to work on them being nice to eachother!!!

Here is Belle at 5 weeks.... Check out the dimple on her ELBOW in the basket shot!!! She has matching dimples in her chubbly knees too!!!! LOVE :)

and yesterday, 7 weeks young...

Isn't she scrumptious :) I wonder if it is possible to kiss a baby TOOOOO much? :)

Sweet Sweet Newborn Sweetness!!!

2009-10-14T02:27:00.000-07:00

Today sweet little Henry visited the studio ~ and he was the perfect model! I must admit, newborns are up there with my favourite thing to photograph :) and Henry was no exception. I got some beautiful images of this tiny man, and am totally in love with this Mummy & Son portrait ~ full of LOVE!

Thanks for bringing your sweet boy to see me Danielle. I hope you enjoy your Sneak Peek. Please leave a comment by clicking on the link below and share the link to the blog with family and friends too.

PS>>> I have decided that during my maternity leave, I will try to accomodate any newborn sessions for bubs less than 2 weeks old. It is something that I love to do and the type of session that cannot wait the 6 months that I have taken off. So, if you know of anyone, please feel free to send them my way.

Blonde Beauties!!!

2009-10-12T17:52:00.000-07:00

On Sunday we hosted a Bathurst Bash with lots of good old friends... when Scott walked in with his girls I knew we would end up in the studio for a 5 minute session ~ absolutely cute to boot!!!!

So here they are, little blonde beauties :) Thanks for letting me steal them for a while Scott!

Don't forget to leave me a comment below and share the link with family and friends.

It's A Girl!!!

2009-10-06T16:26:00.000-07:00

Meet little Miss G ~ a special playmate for my Belle and we couldn't be happier! Her Mummy & I were childhood neighbours and share loads of memories. I hope our girls will share lots of special times together too! She is the newest addition to Cass & Paul's lovely little family. Congratulations guys!!! She is just gorgeous.

10 days new and the perfect little model in my studio yesterday! Thanks G! Belle and I look forward to spending lots of time with you as you grow.

Now, I must add, I have had a lot of people ask me WHY I am still working while I am supposed to be on maternity leave? The answer is, these shoots were booked early on in my pregnancy and newborn sessions need to be done in the first 2 weeks of bubs life... so there it is. I am on leave, and I am loving it!!! Just doing these few special sessions for my lovely clients.

I will post more pics of little Belle later. She is growing so so so much and is still my perfect little bubby. Loving her to bits!

Please leave me a comment - I love to know you have stopped by my Blog x

Master L

2009-10-01T23:32:00.000-07:00

Please meet sweet Master 'L' ~ 9 days young and crazy gorgeous!!! It took a little while for him to go off to snoozeville, but once there, he was a perfect little treasure. You never could have guessed M & C are first time parents ~ total naturals! .... he is a lucky bub that is for sure!

Enjoy your Sneak Peek and don't forget to leave a comment :)

Twinnies!!!

2009-10-01T22:26:00.000-07:00

Introducing 'J' and 'A' ~ the gorgeous twins from Chloe's prep class. I had a quick mini-session with them last week and got some special shots. Thanks girls and thanks especially Lydia. It must be so confronting moving to another country, knowing little english and few people, but Lydia is doing everything possible to fit right in! And doing a wonderful job of it!!

Little Master C

2009-10-01T22:09:00.000-07:00

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting baby C. Beautiful baby #2 for Lisa and Craig. I photographed his big brother last year ~ you might remember him? The handsome 'K'... last years shot on the left and this years on the right ~ how time flies!!!!! What a Spunk!!!

His little brother was a joy and cute-to-boot, just like his big brother! Unfortunately I had camera dramas and we have to finish off the shoot tomorrow, but we got some gorgeous images from this session. Please leave a comment and feel free to share this link with friends and family.

See you tomorrow! And thanks again for being so understanding :)

Belle Maree

2009-09-06T19:07:00.000-07:00

Last Sunday the 30th of August, our sweet little princess graced us with her presence....just like her gorgeous big sister, arriving exactly when she was supposed to!!

Belle Maree Entriken

~ a surprising 10lb 4oz!!! ouch! ~ and absolutely perfect! :)

'Belle' because we love it, and 'Maree' after my Mum who we think is the World's Best Nana! and a pretty fine Mum too :) Thanks Mummy xxx

We are all totally smitten with our new little bundle and I am looking forward to taking time off work to be with her. Here are a few pics I have taken so far ! Plenty more to come, so check by from time to time for updates. I am taking now till February off, but have already started taking bookings for next year, so please email me if you wish to book a session for 2010.

Bye Nan xxx

2009-08-12T00:17:00.000-07:00

Last night our dear little Nan passed away, just shy of her 96th Birthday. Although we will miss her dearly, we know how much she wanted to join her loved ones in heaven. She has experienced more sadness in her lifetime than anyone should have to but now she will be reunited with her boys again ~ enjoy Nan! We will take care of Dad down here!

I took these shots in 2007/08.... Sooooooo glad I did now. Nothing technically grand, but memories of a stunning Great-Nana that I will treasure always. At the time, Nan was apparently NOT wanting her picture taken ~ why on earth would I want a photo of her wrinkles!!?? But then she would strike a pose like this! Love you Nan. Thanks for giving me these images and thanks for all of the wonderful memories, the great Palm Beach holidays will be in my heart with you forever. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Take care of her now my gorgeous Uncles xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

A beautiful maternity!

2009-08-07T16:16:00.001-07:00

Thursday saw my very last session before bub arrives! Phew!!! I made it!!!!! It was a maternity make-over shoot with Cass ~ my good friend and childhood neighbour who will be welcoming her baby girl in October. We shared LOTS of laughs as per usual, I got to shoot with my new studio lights and we got some Gorgeous images. I did Cass' hair and make-up which was fun and possibly something that I will re-introduce next year.

During this session my braxton hicks became regular and then when I started timing things later, I realised they were exactly 5 minutes apart and lasting for 1 minute each ~ this went on for about 6 hours so I was sure she was coming! But, NO! :( Maybe I need to squeeze in one more shoot to help her along ;)

I can't share some of my favourites because Cass just looks way TOO hot :( but here are some of my other favourites. Of course we had to have the hunky big brother Liam in some shots too!

Enjoy ~ please leave me a comment and feel free to share the Blog link with family and friends xoxoxox

Kody-Kody!!!

2009-08-03T20:58:00.000-07:00

Could he be any cuter???! Well...... more co-operative possibly!!! :) My gorgeous nephew Kody, nearing 8 months already, didn't particularly enjoy Aunty Jem's camera today. But who cares, when you are this stinking cute!

Here are a few of the keepers. My first session using my lights ~ loving it!

and just for fun... Kody's "WHATEVER" pose..... "talk to the hand!"

Less than 4 weeks and Counting!!!

2009-07-31T23:18:00.000-07:00

Less than 4 weeks till angel #3 arrives ~ that's if she comes on time!! I am quietly confident that she will make an early arrival ~ 2 weeks hopefully :) I cannot wait to meet her!!!!!!! Guaranteed she will be one of the most photographed newborns ever!

This week I have a little session with my gorgeous nephew on Tuesday, then my final session on Thursday, in the studio with my new lights ~ yes, this natural light photographer is delving in to studio lighting and I am totally inspired :) I spent Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, learning from 3 amazing international photographers at the incredibly inspiring Inspire Me 09 Workshop. It was such an awesome experience and I feel like new doors have been opened for White Wish Photography. I am busy planning next year and hoping to have a perfectly co-operative bub by my side {or in my arms} as I work towards achieving my business goals. The plan is still to have 6 months off with my new princess, but I will be taking on select bookings so please contact me if you are interested in a session during these 6 months. As of February I will be booking shoots on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays at this stage, so if you wish to make an advance booking, please let me know. Saturdays are usually VERY popular!

I will finish up with some shots from the workshop ~ some hot models, brilliant teachers and fab locations = shots I am proud of! As always, please leave me some love by clicking on the comments link below :) xxx

Beauty on the Beach!

2009-07-25T18:13:00.000-07:00

With just four weeks left of my pregnancy, I am starting to finish up the last of the sessions before my 'maternity leave'. I had a family shoot on the beach booked for yesterday and at one stage I wondered if I would make it?? I had some pains yesterday and the insomnia is starting to take it's toll on me! The thought of trekking up sand dunes wasn't all that appealing :) But I made it and I am SO GLAD I DID. It was a great session!!!

I met the most beautiful little family ~ 2 sweet, sweet little girls with parents to match :) It was pretty blowy on the beach, so we got some gorgeous 'forrest' shots where it was a little more protected. Fantastic wardrobe decisions by M ~ thanks M! Clothes really do make a difference :) I am thrilled with this shoot and I hope you will be too! I think it was worth the climbs, wind and cold!!!

Enjoy your Sneak Peak and feel free to share this link with friends and family. Please leave a comment by clicking on the Comments link below. x

The 'H' Boys!!!

2009-07-16T19:00:00.000-07:00

Meet the 'H' boys ~ H is for handsome! Blonde beach boys with the most piercing blue eyes!

We first met in the park, but little F wasn't 'feeling' it that day, so we decided to have 'round 2' in the studio. He arrived smiling and left smiling [phew!!!!], leaving me with some adorable shots of this handsome little munchkin! Big brother H was a breeze in the park ~ he knew just how to work it for my camera!!!

Thanks boys! and thanks K. Enjoy your Sneak Peek and I will be in touch in the next few weeks to view the rest of your images. Please feel free to share this link with friends and family and leave a comment by clicking on the 'comment' link below.

Saturday's Studio Session

2009-06-28T15:06:00.000-07:00

On Saturday I had a studio session with the lovely F family. Sweet Little H is just 12 weeks old and had the prettiest baby-blue eyes. This age is quite tricky to photograph, but I think we got some beautiful images that you will love. Her big brother Master H, a delightful 2year old, knew just how to work it for the camera, making the session a whole lot of fun :)

Cute as a Button!!!

2009-06-17T20:51:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I had a studio session with a very busy little 16month old. I had almost forgotten just how busy this age is! Meet Master 'H'.... cute as a button, busy as a bee!!!

He kept me on my toes the entire shoot and I was very thankful to have his helpful Mummy chasing him back on to the shooting area for me. Each session is growing increasingly difficult with my growing bump, so I really appreciate all the help Mums and Dads give me :) Thanks Helen!

Enjoy your Sneak Peek ~ here are a few of my favourites from the shoot. Thanks for bringing your gorgeous little man to see me. Please leave a comment by clicking on the link below the images and feel free to share this link to family and friends.

Yesterday I had a studio session with two busy little BOYS and their lovely parents :) We got lots of out-takes ;) as well as some special keepers! These are my favourites of the bunch. Special thanks to Uncle Crossy & Aunty Nat for their entertaining value ~ much appreciated guys.

Enjoy the rest of your time on the coast! Please leave a comment by clicking on the 'COMMENTS' link below and feel free to share the link with friends and family.

Little Miss E

2009-06-04T14:08:00.000-07:00

On Wednesday I had a studio session with little E and her family. Yet another little dolly for me to photograph!! Look at her soulful eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This first shot is up there with some of my favourite images ever ~ I guess it is somewhat my signature shot ~ all about the eyes. I will be finding some wall-space in the studio for this one that's for sure!

The wardrobe choices for the family shots were just perfect. Note how they put the little star of the show in a cute pattern, then pulled the pink out of the pattern for Dad's shirt, and Mum's black top ties it all together seamlessly. Thanks for putting that extra effort in to your clothing decisions... it makes all the difference for great family images.

I am loving your images! Sorry they have taken a little longer to get up on the Blog, but I crumbled after you left and spent the last 2 days on the lounge ~ and I'd say I could be back on it very soon :( Hopefully we didn't share any nasties with you. It was lovely to meet your beautiful family. Please leave a comment by clicking on the link below.

How cute is too cute?

2009-06-01T17:11:00.001-07:00

This cute!............... Seriously, if little A gets any cuter, she may just be too cute! This baby doll is pretty much my faux-niece. Her Mum & I have been friends since birth because our beautiful Mums have been friends for years and years. Always love our visits from Miss A & L and hope that one day they will live a little closer {hint~hint!!} xxx

Comments always appreciated. How doll-like is she in this first shot? Porcelain skin, the prettiest baby-blues, and picture-perfect lips. Adorable!

Kody-Kody!!!

2009-06-01T17:07:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I hoped to get a few new pics of my gorgeous spunk of a nephew who is growing up way too quickly! He arrived all smiles, but when the big black camera attatched itself to my face, those smiles disappeared!!!!! Still 100% gorgeous though ~ smile or no smile :) Love you Kody xxx

Strawberry Shortcake!!!

2009-05-26T21:09:00.000-07:00

Today I had a session with a sweet little girl that reminded me of Strawberry Shortcake..... the perfect little model for my new polka-dot hat. Princess Isla was deliciously cute ~ tiny button nose, squeezable cheeks and the prettiest blue eyes. She had lots of spunk too which always makes for a fun session :) Thank goodness for her bubble-blowing Mummy!!!!!

It was lovely to meet you both today. I am loving the images so I hope you enjoy your Sneak Peek! Please feel free to share the link with family and friends and please leave a comment by clicking on the Comments text below the images.

Helllloooooo

2009-05-25T14:22:00.000-07:00

Well it has been way too long between Blogging!! What has been happening??? LOTS :)
My baby girl turned 5 ~ we had a little Princess/Fairy/Mermaid party with 4 of her best friends which was fabulous and a lot easier on Mummy than the party of 25 last year!!!

She is absolutely going to make the best big sister ever. I am so blessed to have such a sweet little girl to call my own, a gorgeous boy and another little darling on the way ~ life is great! I am growing by the day [almost 7 months now] and starting to feel VERY tired.... so tired, I have even been letting myself have an occasional nana-nap during the day.

Last week I did headshots for a lovely realestate couple - Yvonne and Duncan from Remax

and tomorrow I have a session with a gorgeous little girl so she will be up on the blog this week too. Baby M's family also came for their viewing/ordering session last week and I was thrilled when they ordered this image as a huge Canvas!!! It is going to look so delicious in their lovely home!

I am also starting to put ideas together for my brother's wedding in November which is very exciting.

Sweet Miss S!

2009-05-13T01:39:00.000-07:00

Time sure does fly by! Today I had a visit from precious Miss S and her lovely Mum and Dad again ~ here she was back in November...

and now, 8 months later!!! Poor little possum is cutting teeth and wasn't her usual cheery self so I put on my 'crazy-hat' and acted loopy to get some smiles!!! :) Sorry guys! and sorry to my neighbours too!!! It was all worth it - in the end we got some truly gorgeous images.

Thanks Michelle and Matt - hope you enjoy your Sneak Peek... be sure to share this link with friends and family and leave me a comment too! x

Today I had an amazing studio session with two GORGEOUS little people. I approached their Mum to be a part of my Fresh Faces 2009 campaign, and thankfully she accepted :) Thanks Emma - your kids are TOO cute!!!

As a passionate, bordering-obsessed :) photographer, I am captivated by faces of all description... and there are some that I simply MUST photograph!!!! I think after seeing these images, you will understand why these two beauties were at the top of my 'must-have' list :) Unfortunately their big brother was at school today - you should see His amazing eyes!!!!!

Introducing the divine Miss Lillian {aka 'Lilli-Belle'... how cute is that?!} and her handsome brother Oliver. They were both total stars in the studio today ~ Thank-you so much!

I hope you enjoy your Sneak Peek. Please feel free to share this link with friends and families and leave a comment by clicking on 'comment' under the last image.

My Darlings xxx

2009-03-15T16:02:00.001-07:00

I decided yesterday that it was time for some new shots of my darlings. My main aim was to capture the winning shot to put on display in the studio as a Perspex Mount ~ these are SO YUMMY, I definitely need a sample up! And considering the fact that out of the 7 canvases that adorn the walls of my studio, none of them star my babes, I decided that they were it for the Perspex display!

Now, it's a simple feat to get great shots of them individually, but not always so easy to get shots together!!!!! Jay is going through a bit of a 'stinky big brother' stage and is not too keen to get up close with his little sister :( Lets hope it's just a stage!!!!

Can I say that it's quite amazing what a little bit of bribery does :) Looks like I'll be visiting the toy shop later today LOL!!!

Fun at the Beach!

2009-03-07T15:22:00.001-08:00

Yesterday we hit the beach for a fun session with the gorgeous Z. He wasn't so sure to begin with, but by mid-way through the session, he was working it like a super-star!! How amazing are this boy's eyes????!!!! Thanks P and thanks Z for a great shoot.

Enjoy your Sneak Peek and I'll be in touch soon. Please feel free to share the link with friends and family and leave a comment :)

PURE GORGEOUS-ness!

2009-03-05T00:59:00.000-08:00

Today we had a visit from our favourite little visitor, the gorgeous K o d y :)
When it comes to this child, Aunty Jem just can't help herself.... so out came the camera and we got some very CUTE shots if I might say so myself!

It's hard to believe this little munchkin will be 3 months next week!!! Wow, how time flies!!! I can't wait till our new little bubby arrives later this year :) Love you Kody xoxo

.... and yes, you read correctly.... Kody LOVES boobies!!! :) Too funny!

BEAUTIFUL BOYS!

A Gorgeous Family

2009-02-15T21:15:00.000-08:00

Thismorning I had a studio session with an old school friend and her gorgeous family :) Sarah sure seems to be a natural born Mummy with three littlies and is still looking as beautiful as ever! We were actually scheduled to do this shoot late last year when the twins were sitting....before they could crawl away from me LOL, but life got the better of us and here we are today!!!

These little darlings were oh so fast and oh so hungry ;) I possibly didn't get as many wow shots as I would have liked, but believe it or not, two eleven month olds + a three year old can be quite a challenge for a photographer like me!

I hope you like your Sneak Peek ~ your kids are just adorable! x Please leave a comment!!!

Holiday News

I hope you have all been enjoying your holidays as much as I have :) 2009 is off to an amazing start for us, discovering on New Years Eve that I am expecting bub#3 at the end of August!!! We are all over the moon. I cannot wait to welcome a new little Prince or Princess into our family :)

Well, I've done pretty well keeping out of the studio during January and have spent lots of time hanging out with my gorgeous kiddiliwinks. But, as much as I am enjoying the break, I have really missed shooting.... so today I did a mini-session with Jay and Chloe. Thankfully they still enjoy being photographed, particularly Chlo ~ she sure knows how to work it!!! Here are a couple of my favourites.
