Hot chicks in hot frocks :: Newcastle Model Photography

Kristy Bradford — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 12:38:49 +0000

On Monday I had the pleasure of shooting the lovely Brooke in and around Honeysuckle on Newcastle Foreshore. It was a promo shoot for an upcoming Charity Fashion Parade to be held later in the year. A big thanks to Louise for co-ordinating everything. We had some gorgeous frocks from local designer Alyse Hemson of a.shai designs that were a hit with the locals (particularly the short black number!). A big thanks to Vic Anderson (makeup artist) and Christie Howe (hair stylist) for making Brooke look even more fabulous!

Mountains, leeches and… echidnas! :: Newcastle Photographer

Today we decided to head up to the Watagans National Park in the 4WD to have a look around and check out the scenery. Our first stop was Boarding House dam but after about 5 minutes of walking we discovered we had stumbled upon what was obviously leech heaven! The horrid little things were everywhere including our shoes so we hot-stepped it back to the car as fast as our little legs would carry us.

We stopped at a few lookouts including Maclean lookout where I took the shot below. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t the best but it was still a spectacular view.

On our way out I still had my camera in my lap when we came across this little guy. He was waddling across the road so I jumped out and grabbed a pic. He wasn’t too keen on having his photo taken though, as soon as he heard me he curled up into a ball!

Who are you and what have you done with my daughter!!! :: Newcastle Photographer

I pulled out the camera this afternoon as I hadn’t taken any shots of Ash for at least a few days (I was sure she was having withdrawals!). Now Ash has what is called PCS… Photographer’s Child Syndrome. Upon seeing a camera, the head goes down, eye contact is avoided at all costs.. and usually I get a snap of her running away. This afternoon, she was putting on her “pretty beads” and lo and behold actually stood there and smiled at the camera for at least a good 10-20 seconds! Somehow I managed to click away even though I was in complete shock! Here’s a few of my favourites, and then some from down at the water where we lasted a whole 10 minutes before almost melting. This weather is nuts!

Happy Australia Day! :: Newcastle Photographer

The aussie flags were out and about in abundance today! It’s great to se so many people get into the spirit of the day and are proud of our country. The picnic areas around the lake were packed and I saw flags hanging from branches in tress, worn as capes, on every second car. We even got given a little Aussie flag at the checkout at Bunnings

Whatever you did to celebrate, I hope you had a great day! Here’s a few snaps of Ash, playing with her flag then snug as a bug after her shower.

Swiiiiiiiiing!!!!

That’s what my daughter Ash likes to yell while I push her on her swings. She also does a very cute rendition of See-Saw Marjorie Daw which goes “See-saaaaw marie door, *mumble mumble* paaaaaaaaasta”. It’s been so hot the past few days we haven’t been able to go outside and play so we went out tonight once the sun was behind the house and we were in the shade. We also had to “wash” (water) the flowers and her toes

Model Portfolio Shoot :: Newcastle Photographer

Kristy Bradford — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 04:16:11 +0000

A week or so ago I had the absolute pleasure of shooting a fantastic local model, Nicole Henry. My partner in crime for the day was the very talented makeup artist Victoria Anderson. We hit the streets of Newcastle on a sunny afternoon and together we came up with some fantastic shots! Here are a few favourites from the shoot.

It’s about time I got with the program…

And finally started a blog! After several half-hearted attempts that I never quite got around to finishing, I decided to get my butt into gear and get it up and running. I’ll be adding images from my shoots aswell as some of my daughter Ashleigh no doubt. Also keep an eye out in the next few weeks for the launch of my new Boudoir/Glamour packages. I’ll also be looking for a few lovely ladies to star on my website!

To celebrate here’s a few snaps of NYE fireworks (I know it was 20 days ago but better late than never right?).
