FINALLY, after being rained out so many times I was able to meet Cushla and Tan. I met the girls at Centennial Park in Sydney on a wonderful summers afternoon where we walked around finding lovely spots to do their engagement shoot. Was a great afternoon getting to know them and to talk about their upcoming wedding at Belgenny Farm in Camden. Hope you love the photos girls, was certainly worth waiting for perfect weather! Be sure to watch the slideshow at the end for the full shoot.

It seems my yearly challenge kind of died at the end of its second month. I do however, have a lovely set of photos documenting my summer holidays with Lily, Mum, Dad and my lovely friends who I enjoyed many laughs with. Cant wait to get them into a gorgeous bound book to keep and look back on. For now….I have the slideshow. Hope you enjoy.x

There is nothing sweeter than a newborn baby, especially the pint sized ones that make me say “oooooooo” during the entire shoot. This little man, once asleep was amazing. He was so alert for so long and I didnt think we’d get any of him asleep. Very cute indeed.

Lisa and Danny Married!! | Southern Highlands Wedding Photographer

I had been waiting for this wedding for a LONG time. It felt like when Lisa booked me that the wedding was SO far away. I had the pleasure of meeting Lisa when she was a teenager, she was a student of mine in Photography and Dance. (yes dance…..I had to pull out some old moves for that one). When arriving at Lisa’s parents house, the girls were all calm, casually sitting around getting ready. With the weather looking grim, we ended up with a little drizzle as we left and bam….full sunshine as we approached the church. What was apparent throughout the ceremony and from the speeches at the reception is that everyone is supportive of this marriage and looking forward to being part of the future of the happy couple. Congratulations Lisa and Danny. You both were simply amazing to spend the day with, and completely GORGEOUS!

I have started the year of with an AMAZING shoot in Wollongong with the most delightful little girl, full of personality which just shone through in all of these gorgeous photographs. There weren’t many photos that I didn’t LOVE from this session so beware….MASS UPLOAD.

Snippets Of My Summer Days 35-38

Skye Nestler — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 08:00:27 +0000

A yearly challenge I am embarking on for my fourth year. A photo from each day. Usually I start this in January, but I am starting early this year to try and challenge myself to last for 2 months rather than one. This year I want to push myself further and push boundaries and be creative. And try not to take photos of Lily EVERY day, although the photo a day results in a lovely set of photographs of our summer together. Hopefully by the end of January you will see my life’s passions as a mother, a daughter, a photographer, an excellent home cook ( yes I dream to be on masterchef…and of course win) and lover of the summer time. I hope you enjoy the snippets from my summer.

Day 35: At our friends for swimming in the (finally) warm weather

Day 36: At Camden Pools. I am embarking on an “US” theme soon, to include myself in more photos, this one seemed like a good start!

Day 37: Our dinner out of Donna Hay’s new cookbook. I havent cooked anything I havent liked of hers. And Lily’s response was “This is the best dinner EVER”

Day 38: In the Botanical Gardens after seeing Wind in the Willows, which was amazing, both for kids and parents. I thoroughly enjoyed it, was a warm day which needed hydrating!!!

Snippets Of My Summer : A Photo A Day Days 23-33

Skye Nestler — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 09:31:20 +0000

Day 23: My little girl all grown up I cant believe how grown up she looks here!

Day 24: Christmas Eve, out with Bek

Day 25: Christmas Day. Lily’s sheer excitement at her new cubby. ” This is amazing” she said.

Day 26: Boxing Day and straight to the pools. Lily wearing her new towel poncho she was given from Bek.

Day 27: At the CVI with friends and Lily’s friend arrived, who she hasn’t seen in AGES, which made her day.

Day 28: With her new bike from Nanni and Papa on the Camden Bike Track. I can’t believe how far she was able to ride! I have many memories growing up on this bike track as we lived so close to it, many walks, our cross country for primary school was there, roller blading home with Bek and stacking it so hard she left me there and went to get help!! Hence why I held onto the bike going down the hills. Her very good riding skills has given me incentive to either start jogging next to her OR purchase myself a bike.

Day 29: City Sales with my friend Sara. The shoe department in David Jones Lily was in heaven as is majority of the female population, however her joy was equally matched by this little girl who quickly joined Lily trying on all the sprakly shoes they could fine. Was sure to keep an eye on that she wasn’t trying on the sparkly Jimmy Choo’s. And as I promised her a visit to the park before going home.

Day 30: Time to get to work before a weekend off!!

Day 31 AND 32: Happy New Year. A fantastic night spent just how New Years Eve should be, with your close friends having a great time.nOur feet are still recovering which is the sign of a good night spent on the dance floor.

Day 33: Summer time is here. FINALLY. Camden Pools are SO much fun.

2011 Review…What an amazing year

Skye Nestler — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 01:20:28 +0000

What a year it has been for me and my business. I moved house at the beginning of the year, which I was nervous about, however Lily and I have found our niche back in civilisation and completely loving being close to almost everything. We had a visit from my sister from England and she brought with her her boyfriend who was able to experience a wonderfully warm August, infact it was warmer weather I think than what we are having now! I donned the front cover of a magazine!! This was a huge moment for me! And Jaimee and Ryan with their gorgeous wedding became the signature image of Skye Photography. Photographically, I have found myself. I have had some amazing brides and grooms, fun engagement shoots and my fair share of newborns wee and spew on me. All of which I have loved every second. I am continuing my journey with photography learning from anything and anyone who is willing to share. What is it I love about this job? ( and I use the word job ever so loosely as it doesnt feel like a “job”). I love the energy of weddings, the happiness, the love, the gorgeous little details. Newborn and family shoots are a different kind of love, the connection between families is always something special to be able to capture and make into everlasting images. But it is the words and happiness that comes when people first view their images. I have enjoyed every second, thankyou to all my wonderful clients for allowing me to be part of your special days and special moments that you will now cherish forever. A special thankyou to my Mum and Dad and my wonderful friends Bek and Sara, for continually encouraging and believing in me and making me strive for excellence in this field which I love. To all my Facebook followers and friends your kind words on all my posts really mean the world to me, and thankyou.

So here is my Body Of Work for 2011. I hope you enjoy, its always nice to go back and look at how much I have grown and remember all of the fun times I have had on location with awesome people. Thankyou again for being part of Skye Photography.

It has been such an honour to be photographing this family for 3 years in a row and seeing this little man grow up. We were so lucky with the weather to get our shoot in, a very humid morning before the storms rolled in for the afternoon. Robert has grown up to a sweet little man, with porcelain like skin and the most gorgeous big brown eyes. Simply too cute.x
