Extra Preview [ 2 ]....

Newcastle Baby Photography | Newcastle Family Photography

Proofing, ordering, proofing, ordering, emailing, proofing..... That's pretty much it! Still running behind on everything and I apologise immensely to my wonderfully patient clients who are being so understanding with me! I promise, I'm working my butt off to get everything caught up :-)

I have almost finished proofing images for the 'D' family so thought I would add an extra preview. Baby 'S' was so great, we chatted and giggled and she was just so well behaved for me! C & G - Your gallery will be up soon, promise :-)






I have to share another funny with you :-D (getting sick of them yet, lol!)

GIVING BIRTH AT 65

With all the new technology regarding fertility recently, a 65-year-old friend of mine was able to give birth. When she was discharged from the hospital and went home, I went to visit.

"May I see the new baby?" I asked

"Not yet," She said "I'll make coffee and we can visit for a while first."

Thirty minutes had passed, and I asked, "May I see the new baby now?"

"No, not yet," She said.

After another few minutes had elapsed,

I asked again, "May I see the baby now?"

"No, not yet," replied my friend.

Growing very impatient, I asked, "Well, when can I see the baby?"

"WHEN HE CRIES!" she told me.

"WHEN HE CRIES?" I demanded. "Why do I have to wait until he CRIES?"

"BECAUSE I FORGOT WHERE I PUT HIM, O.K.?

LOL!

--------------------

To finish I've been tagged! Not once, not twice but three times and in one night, can you believe it, lol! So here I go:

First, I was tagged by the wonderfully talented: Janine & Kelly!

Six quirky things about me:

1) I sing-talk all the time with the girls and I make up little songs with their names or toys etc I'm no good and it's a bit weird but I do it anyway :-)

2) I'm a big kid and will often play on the swings or slide when I take the girls to the park, even when other parents are around :-)

3) I have to heat my apples up in the microwave before I can eat them

4) I LOVE horror movies, the gorier the better

5) I love bacon but can't stand pork

6) I don't eat vegetables, I can't even force myself too! Well, I eat potatoes, lettuce and carrot but the rest, yuck! :-)

I won't tag anyone else because I know this one's been around for awhile ;-)

--------------------

Secondly, I was tagged by the awesome Gemma:

1. Ten years ago… I was 19yrs old, had been living with my boyfriend (who is now my hubby) for 2yrs, struggling to look for a job that paid the bills and had no dreams at all about what I wanted to do with my life

2. 5 things on my to do list… Get caught up with work ASAP, look into a few new product ideas, get more product samples, take the girls out driving to find some new locations, buy a new pair of jeans ;-)

3. Snacks I enjoy… Choc chip cookies, yoghurt, warm scones with jam & cream (Yuummmmmmyyyyyyyyyy!)

4. If I were a millionaire… Hubby would retire and stay home to look after the girls, I would throw everything I could into my photography business, I would travel Oz and the world to meet my online buddies, I'd be driving a hybrid and we'd live in an environmentally friendly house

5. Places I’ve lived… I'm boring, I've only ever lived in NSW

I tag: Sam, Danni, Kelly, Kristen & Peta!

Now that it's taken me ALL day to get this post finished, I'm off! :-)

Extra Preview....

The B family have been patiently awaiting their online gallery and I have almost finished so really wanted to share a few more of their images! I always tell my families to just ignore me and concentrate on each other so that I can capture the true connection between them and this family did just that. I adore how natural they were with each other, such a beautiful family!






And another laugh for ya because I read this last night and actually "laughed out loud" :-)

BANNED FROM K- MART...........

This is why women should not take men shopping against their will.

After Mr. and Mrs. Fenton retired, Mrs. Fenton insisted her husband accompany her on her trips to K -Mart.

Unfortunately, Mr. Fenton was like most men--he found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out.

Equally unfortunately, Mrs. Fenton was like most women--she loved to browse. One day Mrs. Fenton received the following letter from her local K -Mart.

Dear Mrs. Fenton,

Over the past six months, your husband has been causing quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behaviour and may be forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against Mr. Fenton are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras.

1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's carts when they weren't looking.

2 . July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.

3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom.

4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, 'Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away.'

5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&M's on lay -b y.

6. September 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

7. September 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told other shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department.

8. September 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?'

9. October 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose.

10. November 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.

11. December 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the ' Mission Impossible' theme.

12. December 6: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look' by using different sizes of funnels.

13. December 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'

14. December 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a foetal position and screamed 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!'

And last, but not least ..

15. December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here!'

Regards,
K -Mart.

And to finish I want to wish my fantastically, spunky baby brother a very happy 20th birthday for today! May you drink and be merry for many more years to come! Big (((Hugs)))!

Proofing, proofing, proofing....

Yep, that's about it, lol!

Just thought I'd share a pic and a laugh so here you go:

Should children witness childbirth?

Out of the mouths of babes ...

Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to the call.

The house was very dark so the paramedic asked Kathleen, a 3-yr old girl to hold a flashlight high over her mommy so he could see while he helped deliver the baby.

Very diligently, Kathleen did as she was asked. Heidi pushed and pushed and after a little while, Connor was born. The paramedic lifted him by his little feet and spanked him on his bottom.

Connor began to cry.

The paramedic then thanked Kathleen for her help and asked the wide-eyed 3-yr old what she thought about what she had just seen.

Kathleen quickly responded, "He shouldn't have crawled in there in the first place ... smack him again!"

And Shae:
