Winter solistice at Collingwood Childrens farm

Winter solistice is here! Let's celebrate it .. greetings from Collingwood childrens farm. Mulled wine, knitted beanies, bonfire, fire twirlers and worlds best veggie burger. How can you go wrong with that! Great family night out! 

Welcome to the world Lumi - Melbourne newborn photography

I have had to hold myself back not to share this shoot any earlier but I always wait until my client has seen and ordered images before I share it with the world :)

Such a cute little girl. I love her name - Lumi - it means "snow" in finnish (how beautiful is that!).  This was my first ever "watch me grow" shoot. Can't wait to capture Lumi again in few months time.

"Watch Me Grow" is a package that captures the many changes in child's first year.
Package includes 3 photoshoots over 12 month period, one 8x10" matted print from each shoot, 5 digital images from each shoot, online gallery and 24 birth announcement cards. Make an investment for your baby's first year or give it as a baby shower present (gift vouchers available). Every mother would love to receive this package. Only $590 which is unreal value.

 Please contact me for bookings and enquiries me@sannagriffin.com.au or 0424 080 565.  

Winter beach

I love the beach .. especially in winter and the kids love it too .. you can make sandcastles for hours without getting sunburnt. You can collect treasures and pretend logs that have been washed to to the beach are dinosaurs.

Guide to crop ratios and print sizes

When priting photos via professional lab, online or local priting house it's important to understand cropping ratio's and image sizes. All my images are usually cropped to the 2:3 ratio (unless otherwise stated). So if you wish to print other sizes you might have to crop your images due to different aspect ratios.

Especially when you are using photo kiosks you need to select the function that allows you set the crop lines yourself. Don't ever allow the computer to do the cropping as it can crop some important detail from your image.

To help with this I have created a little guide for you - hope you find it useful.  

p.s. I will also attach this document to all my USB's and DVD's so that when you purchase digital images you can use this as your "cheat" sheet.
