Photography by Petti Anastasi

Kaylee came to me to have some Fine Art pregnancy portraits done not so long ago….Along with her belly shots at home we went to the top of Newcastle to have her location portraits done - These are becoming so popular with more and more “yummy mummies to be” wanting belly portraits whch look graceful…The above images of Kaylee is amongst my favourites as it makes her look like she is walking her pregnancy journey. It’s all about creating an illusion so that you see shape and form without seeing lumps and flaws!!

One of my favourite photo opportunities was photographing  ”Jimbo” on his own. How handsome is he!!!!

Animal portraits are becoming more popular…

They say ” never work with animal’s or children….Every animal lover and owner should have an Art Portrait of their animal as part of their collection of images…..

His oner Rebecca & Tom Lois absolutely adore him - Can’t you tel!!!!

A pre- wedding shoot is a fantastic way for you to get some images of the two of you in the lead up to your wedding day.

It also allows you to get a glimpse of how your photogreapher will work on your wedding day and to get to know your photographer…

Sam and Debbie are getting married at the end of August 2009 and had their pre-wedding shoot down in the Honeysuckle area in Newcastle NSW.

They have some stunning images of the two of them enjoying each others company!!

Everyone has a camera and happy snaps of family and friends are a must for every household. There is nothing better than taking photographs at a party, birthday or an event where your favourite people are at and looking back on these. They serve as captured moments in a lifetime and become treasured as time passes.Having family portraits done by a photographer has it’s place as well. Firstly - it gives you images of how your family was at a particular time…..like when you have little ones…that time is so precious and babies grow and change so quickly. How important does that image become in years to come? Also how often are you all as a family able to be in the photographs at any one time?

Newcastle photographer Petti Anastasi says ” A family portrait every so often is a must as it captures time which has passed and you never get that time back…..but when it is photographed families or children are shown as how they were at the time. Newcastle has so many beautiful locations for portraits to be done….we have beautiful beaches and great parks and rolling hills….portraits are a definate must for any family”
