Blog: Evoke Art | Photography by Fiona Rogerson bio picture

Welcome


You are about to begin the most intense, exhilerating, rewarding journey of a lifetime.  The centre of your world is about to shift in ways you can't even begin to imagine.  You are about to become a Mother.

Bringing home your newborn baby brings with it the most indescribable feelings of joy, love and elation that only a parent could possibly feel.  But it is also this journey, in those early days, which will be the most harrowing, exhausting and challenging, making that precious time pass you by as quickly as it comes.  Sadly, those first few days will go by in a blur.  Wispy hair, tiny curled up fists, fuzzy skin and exquisite eyelashes... the delicate details that belong only to a newborn baby in those early days that will surely be overlooked in the haze.  You will never get this time back.  These are the details that you will too soon forget.  These are the details that will too soon change.

I will make this precious time in your life stand still so that you won't miss a single piece.  I will capture every tiny detail, every wondrous emotion that you feel as you get to know your new baby, and the depth of the unique bond you share.

You will always have this to hold on to.  You won't miss a thing.

Contact me on 0402 017 425 or info@evokeartphotography.com.au to let me make your time stand still.

James Tiberius, welcome earthside | Perth Birth Newborn Photographer

10 days ago I witnessed a miracle.  I witnessed, with nothing less than awe, the miracle of birth.

Even now, sitting here trying to type this post over a week later, I am still struggling to compose my thoughts.

Watching his mother move through the wearying motions of labour was nothing short of electrifying.  I could feel her strength as she adamantly controlled her pain.  I could feel her intensity as she summonsed her energy.  I could feel her power as she willed her baby into this world…

On August 20 2010, at 1.37pm, James Tiberius Pedley was born into this world, into the water at his home.  It was a moment I will never ever forget.

James, welcome earthside…

Love Is | Perth Newborn Photographer

I photographed 7 day old Hannah last week (you can see more of her here) and I have been waiting for a spare moment to blog some more images from her session.

These images of Hannah with her parents Claire and Matthew just make my heart want to jump out of my chest.  I just adore everything about what they show…  the endless love she has been born into, the absolute adoration these parents have for their baby girl, and the elation and joy that she brings them.

This is what love is.

Heart and Soul | Perth Newborn Photographer

It was the tiniest thing I ever decided to put my whole life into.
- Terri Guillemets

Today I met Mason, 3 weeks old but still so so tiny!   When he and his family came in for their session today his older brothers headed straight outside to play with their Dad, while his Mum and I settled in for a chat while Mason fed.  Listening to Naomi speak about her feelings for her newest son, about the days leading up to his arrival and his early struggles earthside, made me see that the little man cradled in her arms truly carries with him the heart and soul of his Mother.

This tiny little being holds her life in his.  I am humbled and thankful to have been able to witness a piece of that today.

Life | Perth Newborn Photographer

Meet Hannah.

7 days old.

When I first met Hannah yesterday I couldn’t help but see her as something more than the tiny baby curled up there in her Daddy’s arms.  I saw so much more than that.  I saw world of dreams, hopes and possibilities tied up into this tiny little package before me.   I saw an open book.  I saw a world untouched.   I saw the beginning of life.

I feel so honoured and grateful that I am able to spend this time with so many little people, at the beginning of all that is to come for them.   I truly love what I do.

Here is a tiny teeny snippet from my session yesterday with Hannah.  I have so many images from this session that I want to blog, but I have another new life coming into the studio shortly so I’ll be back to share some more soon!

Casting call closed | Perth Newborn Photography

After an overwhelming response to my casting call for newborn babies I am now closing the call.  Thank you so much to everyone that has contacted me over the past two days, and also an even bigger thank you to those that have forwarded on the details of the call to their family and friends.  I’m absolutely thrilled to have many little ones booked in for sessions over the coming months so make sure you stay tuned to see the beautiful new faces that are about to enter the world!

I’ll leave you with another favourite of mine… the ever beautiful Jake.

Newborn Casting Call | Perth Newborn Photography

There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that is more life-changing than the first moment that you rest your eyes upon the tiny life that has finally been born into your arms.   Your world shifts sideways and will never again be the same.  Now begins the most intense, amazing, worrying, joyous, and exhilarating journeys of a life time.  A journey that meshes together the souls of parent and newborn baby into a bond that is unique like no other. 

When I am given the privilege of capturing this bond, holding still these precious fleeting moments between you and your baby, I can’t express enough how this makes me feel.  Honoured, blessed, thankful… I truly do love what I do.

The launch of Evoke Art has been absolutely crazy with much work still going on behind the scenes, so as such, it has been a little quite on this blog.  But the more time I spend working away behind the scenes the more I’m missing doing what I love most.  I miss being surrounded by the anticipation of nervous, excited parents-to-be, and moreso the love and joy that fills the air when I see them with their new arrival.

So it’s time for me to feel this again, and starting creating!  So, I’m excited to announce a casting call for newborns. 

Here are the details.  Casting call sessions will:

  • Have the session fee waivered (valued at $110)
  • Receive a complimentary 8×12” Desk Print (valued at $70)
  • There is no obligation to purchase further prints or collections, however they may be purchased at regular rates with regular terms and conditions applicable.  Please contact me for details on pricing.
  • Be intended to capture a particular image or series I have in mind – so that will be the priority of the session.
  • Sessions will be held in studio.
  • Require a model release to be signed by all participants on the day.

Most importantly, all babies must be less then 10 days old at the time of the session. 

Places are limited to the first three to respond.  I will be spreading these sessions out over the coming months to leave room for clients wanting standard sessions, so I am looking for babies due in August or September.

If you book a pregnancy session at the time of answering this newborn casting call you will receive the pregnancy session at a reduced rate of $50 (valued at $110) with a complimentary 5×7” Desk Print (valued at $70).

If you are interested in taking advantage of one of these sessions or know someone else that may be, please call me on 0402017425.  I’d love to chat with you!

Summer | Perth Newborn Photographer

This morning I’ve been busy archiving files and I came across this session from a few months back.  I adored working with this family, especially their new baby Summer.  She was absolutely perfect in every way possible.  I could’ve kept her for myself!

Mini Gourmets | Perth Baby Photographer

A few months ago I began working on a secret project for a new business idea from Natalie Bates, owner of Totally Mums and Bubs, who I had previously done some commercial and personal work for in the past.  I absolutely adored Natalie’s idea from the minute she shared it with me, and I knew that I wanted to be a part of it!

We began discussing ideas for a shoot that would encompass the heart of her new business and this soon eventuated into a shoot that was a BLAST!  Using our own beautiful children as models we put them to work, and all three were in their element.  We wanted big smiles and cheeky grins but all we got were looks of serious concentration as they worked away.  Bless!

So, enough rambling from me.  Meet Mini Gourmets, for kids who love to cook!  If you have little ones at home you will LOVE this site.  It has everything you’ll need and want to get your children interested in cooking and eating.  Their opening sale is now on so head over there and check it out!

Here are a couple of screen shots from their website and a few extra images from our session, all starring my beautiful Mia and Nat’s gorgeous Emily and handsome James.
