New Look Website

Well, this has taken me longer than usual (but between Christmas, New Year, and a kid who put us in hospital for the better part of a week, I'm a bit behind!), but finally I have updated my website.

Please go and check out the new look website and let me know what you think!

I now have a shopping cart added on which basically means that you can put any photos from your Private Gallery into the shopping cart, and that sends me through your order - instead of having to email it to me. I haven't had a chance to play with this feature as yet, so if any clients have any trouble with it, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Please let me know if you have any comments or criticisms at all on the new look - I love to hear what you think.

A Happy Little Family | Brisbane Maternity and Family Photographer

I met up with Rachael, Martin and the adorable little Noah at one of my favourite locations, Shorncliffe Pier, for Rachael's maternity session. She only has 3 weeks to go, yet looks much better than I did at halfway through either of my pregnancies! I can't wait to photograph their gorgeous, little newborn in a few weeks time.....and I wish her luck with Noah and a newborn because Noah is one active little monkey!!!






This is my fav I think.....



Enjoy your sneak peek, guys and I'll see you in a few weeks time!

Summer's 6 month shoot | Brisbane Family and Baby Photographer

Gosh time flies, doesn't it? It just seems like the other day I was doing this little cutie's newborn shoot! And she's gone and turned 6 months old already!!! I adore her big, blue eyes....and this was the last chance for some big, gummy smiles, as she cut her first tooth last night!



I can't tell you how much I adore this photo - and I so wanted to bring this adorable little bonnet home with me! This was Summer's christening bonnet.




We had to take the basket back to this area - hasn't she grown?


I love when babies do that whole "flying" thing!



I know this is a strange one to post, but I want my clients to remember EVERY bit of their kids. My son used to do this thing with his lip when he was sad, and I so wish I had a photo of it, cos I can't really remember exactly what it was like. Our kids aren't totally happy all the time, so why don't we cherish the photos of them when they are sad too?


Kate and Dan, enjoy your sneak peek and I'll be in touch soon!

Happy New Year - NOT!

I have to send big apologies to all current clients of Fiona Carson Photography. I am very behind in things at the moment, but I do have a good excuse (that doesn't involve pure indulgence from Christmas and the New Year!). Last week my son had a 6+ minute seizure, and we ended up in hospital for a few hours. The next day he ended up having 5 more seizures, and we've been in hospital ever since. To cut a long story short, we still aren't sure what was causing the seizures, but some initial tests have ruled out epilepsy. He's fighting a respiratory infection (which may have something to do with it), so once he's over that, we can start weaning him off the anti-convulsive medication and see what happens.

In any case, this has taken up my every waking moment for the past week...so I'm so sorry if you are due a photo order, or if I haven't uploaded your gallery to my website or if I just haven't gotten around to respond to your email. Please accept my sincerest apologies, and I promise I will get around to everything very soon - but for now, poor little Max must be my first priority, as I'm sure you can understand.

Thanks for your understanding, and I look forward to getting back into the swing of things soon!

The Gorgeous McPhillips Family | Brisbane Family Photographer

Lisa contacted me a few weeks ago about doing a family session while everyone was home for Christmas - and being such a wonderfully good looking family, it made my afternoon a breeze! These guys have spent 16 odd years in this house, and now that the last of the kids is about to move out, they are building a smaller house - but wanted some nice family photos done prior to selling this one. The house was so amazing, I really hope I've done it justice.

Thanks guys for a fantastic afternoon and I hope you found the possum! Enjoy your sneak peek and I'll be in touch soon with your gallery.

See how gorgeous they all are - so lovely AND so photogenic. It's criminal really.




The artwork in this house just blew me away - this is the kind of place I want when I grow up!

Stace and Aaron

I have known Stacey for a very long time - her big sister is one of my oldest and dearest friends, so it was a joy and honour to be photographing her and Aaron at this very special time in their lives.

They've most likely been waiting for these photos (so, so sorry for the delay - 5 boys, and 6 adults in one house, all ready for christmas, is a little chaotic to say the least!!!), so I'll just get straight into it.

I adore this image - I love how much love I've captured. My fave for sure


Also love the wind caught in Stacey's hair in this one






It started raining in the first 10mins of our session...soon stopped thank god, but not before Stace caught a few rain drops on that gorgeous belly!




Good luck, guys, and hopefully I'll see you sooner rather than later!!

Curly Hannah | Brisbane Newborn Photographer

Oh how I love it when I get a gorgeous, squishy baby that will curl up into the tightest balls possible! I actually thought I might have had trouble curling her up as she was over 9lb born, but nope - the gorgeous little Hannah was one of the curliest babies I've ever photographed! I have so many favourites from this session that I had trouble picking just a handful!

Terri and Steve - she is so adorable! I'm sorry my sneak peek is delayed, but enjoy and I'll talk to you soon!
