"These photographs are not documentaries, but rather tangible memories that help families both grieve and delight in their children. These photographs show the significant role that photography plays in creating a sense of family for all of us." - Cristina Garduno Freeman, curator

Heartfelt
June 22nd to 4th July 2009
Open Monday to Friday 11am to 6pm
& Saturday 12 to 4pm

The Australian Community of Child Photographers is a volunteer organisation of child photographers from all over Australia who have come together to form an organisation dedicated to giving the gift of photographic memories to families that have experienced stillbirths, premature and ill infants and children in the Neonatal Intensive Care Units of their local hospitals, as well as children with serious and terminal illnesses.

We have chosen to exhibit a selection of our photographs in order to raise awareness of the service we offer and to tell the amazing stories of everyday people with whom we are priviledged to work with.

if you can get to the gallery to support this exhibition, please take your friends and family along to see it.

thanks

birth in balance – business spotlight

bib blog spotlight

Time for the next business spotlight on the blog, featuring a local business that I love.  I am really excited about this spotlight because it is for Birth In Balance which is run by the wonderful Briony Howland.

Enjoy finding out more about this busy woman and her business:-

What is your favourite thing about your job? I love being able to support couples throughout their pregnancy & also at the birth of their baby. It is such an amazing experience that I never tire of. I also enjoy nurturing women through massage – especially busy Mums & pregnant women as they are so deserving & always so appreciative!

How did you get started? My interest in natural therapies began when I had difficulties conceiving my first child. The people I met & what I learned along this journey inspired me to undertake my own studies to become a qualified practitioner. I then went on to complete my Diplomas of Nutrition & Massage, specialising in fertility, pregnancy & children’s health.

After having 3 amazing birth experiences supported by a doula, I knew that the next step for me was to become a certified doula myself. It was from here that Birth in Balance was created – natural therapies to support women & their families not only through pregnancy & birth but also beyond.

How big is your company in terms of employees? Just myself!

Where can we find you and how can we contact you (phone number & location)? My clinic is located in Cronulla & I can be contacted on 0403 006 723 - briony@birthinbalance.com.au.

Any particularly services you think the Forever Bliss Photography blog readers might like to know about? Birth in Balance is currently offering a Winter special of $50 remedial & pre-natal massages.

Do you have a family? I have a very headstrong 5 year old daughter, a laid back 3 year old son, a feisty 9 month old baby boy & a husband. It’s incredible how different they all are!

What is your favourite thing about living in The Shire? For me it’s having everything you need without having to venture far from the area if you don’t want to! I also love being close to the city & the south coast.

What’s your favourite ‘indulgence’ that is just for you? A getaway to Byron Bay would have to be my favourite, but on a day to day level it would be a chai latte.

What do you do to relax? A cup of tea & the sound of a quiet house when the kids are all in bed for the night is relaxing for me! But if I get the time, I enjoy a massage, yoga class or leisurely stroll around some markets.

Take a few minutes to browse their website! Enjoy!

some family snapshots [sydney child photographer]

i just don’t get time to photograph my kids, sad isn’t it….it really is something I need to make the time to do, although in saying that my boys are just no very interested in being photographed, even just day to day snapshot stuff, so it makes it even harder.  we spent a few hours at the beach yesterday, the weather this past weekend was just gorgeous, the boys each had a turn on dads lap driving the car on the beach, god they LOVEd it!!!!!
