Kristy + Lucy + Ellie
21 . November . 07
Yesterday I had the great pleasure in hanging out with Kristy and her two little friends Lucy and Ellie. I have been looking forward to this portrait session since Kristy booked me a few weeks ago. We met up at Kristy’s house first so we could take some photos of Lucy and Ellie on my white seemless background:
First up… Lucy! I love her big beautiful ears!
Little Ellie, who is about a year old.
Kristy had seen the fashion shoot I did with Renee at the Pines at Kings Park and decided she wanted to do the portrait session of her dog Lucy there, so we headed off to Kings Park after finishing up on the white seemless:
This shot makes my heart melt. Dogs are so beautiful..
Kristy and Lucy have been best friends for 10 years =)
Kristy had a special request… her birthday was the following day (today!!), she wanted me to take a photograph of her to celebrate her birthday! She had seen the photograph I had taken of Renee and asked if we could do something similar… of course I agreed!!! =)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRISTY! I hope you had a beautiful day =) xox

So many exciting things have been happening lately, so many exciting projects in the works.. here’s one of the first ones - a new website just for my portrait photography! Yipppppppie! Go take a look at http://www.sammblakeportraiture.com.au
In celebration of my new website… I am offering portrait sessions between now and the 5th December to be 50% off the session fee price! Portrait session fee’s are normally $150.00, so make the most of the opportunity (and knock out a few xmas pressies in the process) for $75.00. Gift Certificates can also be purchased during this time for sessions after the 1st January 2008. The portrait session can be for any type of portraiture including newborns, maternity, toddlers, children - young or old, familes, couples and even doggies and other cherished family pets! When was the last time you had photos taken of your most loved ones? =) Please email or call me for extra details!
Some of the other exciting things in the works are:
- a new office space with room for a projector! Yipppie doo dahhh! All clients will be able to see their photos projected HUGEEE - definitely a great way to see your photographs for the first time! Not to confuse any clients who have already been to my studio..my ‘new’ studio will be still be in the same building.. I am just moving out into where the art gallery use to be =) I get to deck the place out completely from scratch.. so so very exciting!! So many choices.. and so hard to decide on what colour couch to get, white leather couch or red???
- a new website for my fine art photography
- a shopping cart website that will make life ordering prints incredibly easy!
Oliver - Dog Portraits
19 . August . 07
I am now offering doggie portrait sessions - I think it would be an awesome gift to give someone who’s best friend is there dog. Gift Vouchers are available! I love shooting dogs on the white background - it helps able to capture the dogs multiple personalities! When doing the session, I always shoot some candids of the dog playing around in his backyard or at the park, and then some on the backdrop. It’s always recommended to take your dog on a long walk before the session, it helps keep them a little calmer when having them on the backdrop!

Oliver is the nicest, gentlest and friendliest dog I have ever meet. He is just the cutest thing.. more photos from the shoot coming soon, this one just makes my heart melt.
Dillon Dog
23 . July . 07
I am down in Albany for the next few days, working on a landscape series of photography thats going on exhibition down here in September!
Coming down to Albany means spending time with my family and my beautiful old dog, Dillon. He will be 11 years old this year, he is starting to look his age! He has always been a rather mean savage guard dog (he is a Blue Heeler crossed with a German Shepard). Now that he is getting older, he is starting to be a bit more friendly and peaceful around strangers, though not too friendly that I wouldnt want to jump over the back fence at night =)
