Powerkidz is back on!

Powerkidz is back on at the Brisbane Powerhouse Arts Centre.

If you are still looking for something to do on the school holidays and you haven’t been to this event you are missing out!

The Brisbane Powerhouse Arts Centre runs the Powerkidz program every year during the June/July school holidays.   There are loads of workshops, theatrical performances, music, dancing, arts and sporting activities to enrol your kids in.  AND there are loads of free things to do.  

Penny takes my kids every year and raves about it.  They have done the painting wall, the dress ups, and this year saw a fantastic show about dinosaurs called ERTH’S DINOSAUR PETTING ZOO (a petting zoo, but not as you know it!).  

We have been very lucky to have had the opportunity to photograph the Powerkidz program for the last three years, as Sponsors of the Brisbane Powerhouse (more about that in another post).  This year we are very excited to say that we will also be participating!  On Thursday and Friday this week, we will be setting up an onsite ”Photo Shoot” for kids attending Powerkidz.  They can dress up and play at being a model while our photographers have just as much fun getting them to pose and “work the room”.    Hope you can drop by and join in the fun.

The Pickett Family Portraits

It is such a special time when your kids are little.  Everyone always says it goes so fast and until you have kids you don’t really realise what they mean.  Some days (the hard days) seem to stretch on forever, but most days are filled with so much fun and laughter, joy and wonder, that those moments are gone in a second.   

Recently Nicola was asked by Tracy and Steve to capture some of these cherished moments before their beautiful girls got too big.   She had such a fun session with Maddie & Georgia at their home, capturing their big smiles and beaming personalities.   The girls were great at entertaining each other and keeping the whole family laughing and smiling.

Tracy and Steve loved the session so much Nicola also got to photograph a very special event – the christening of baby Maddie.   Family were visiting from all over and Tracy & Steven knew that this was an occassion worth recording forever.   I’m sure these images will be as special to Maddie’s children one day.    

…And just how happy can one baby be?  Maddie doesn’t stop smiling.  She is gorgeous!
