Princess Ratbag Pettiskirts - FREE PHOTO SHOOT

I love these Pettiskirts - Candice sells them through Facebook and since I LOVE them so much (and can't wait to take photos of the girls in them), I'm offering a free photoshoot to anyone who buys one through Candice. Just let me know when your pettiskirt has arrived, and we'll organise a shoot - how easy is that!!!

Princess Ratbag Pettiskirts



Description:
Your little princess (or ratbag) will love these gorgeous little skirts. Super cute and oh so pretty, they are a favourite of photographers due to their bright bold colours and quirky look. Dress them up with little leggings and boots for a chic outfit that every little girl will be envious of or it makes a great addition to the dress up basket.

Pettiskirts are the major fashion trend at the moment for little girls, with several well known labels in America often selling out and retailing for USD$90+. Princess Ratbag is proud to become Australia's first and only supplier of pettiskirts with identical quality to those of the major US brands- we come from the very same manufacturer ;) We're very excited to have secured Australian rights so we will be the only Australian owned wholesaler of pettiskirts and will be selling to retailers Australia wide as of 2009. At this time the RRP$ will go up so get in fast while you can grab yourself a bargain. With our money back guarantee you have nothing to lose.

Our pettiskirts are available from size 0 up to teens, and we have a wide range of colour combinations. If you dont see something on here you're after just contact us with your request and it can be custom made.

Made from layer upon layer upon layer of a soft nylon chiffon with a satin ribbon and elastic waist, these pettiskirts will quickly become a favourite of any little girl.

QUOTE FROM A U.S CHILDRENS MAGAZINE:
"Couture girls pettiskirts are the hottest fashion item for your little girl and favorite item of celebrity babies and kids! You may have seen these pettiskirts featured in the new reality show “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” on E! cable network. Or Madeline Carroll wearing a Kaiya Eve Pettiskirt at the "Resident Evil" Premiere. Also, Anna Nicole Smith's baby daughter,Dannie Lynn, wore an Original Kaiya Eve Ruffle Fluff Top for her 1st birthday"

Bollywood Function

Tonight I had my legal firm's Personal Assistants Networking Function (this was the 5th one we have held) where we invite our client's PA's to thank them for all of their assistance throughout the year.

I worked out it was 6 months in the planning and I'm so glad that it all went pretty smoothly, without any hiccups...

Roushini from Spice Up Your Life was our brilliant Bollywood entertainer and I also acquired the services of Emily-Jade (Nova radio station DJ) as our wonderfully entertaining MC for the night.

October's Newsletter

Lisa’s Photography Newsletter No. 2 (Oct 08)

Firstly, thank you for your wonderful emails and phone calls about my photography launch. The response was overwhelming and I really appreciate your kind words and support!!

Ok, so what’s news?

Many have asked about the brag books / coffee table books - what they look like, and how much they cost...so to give you an example, please see below.

The cost - a 20 side 5x5 book bound soft cover book is $95, that’s a saving of $55!

When should I use a photographer??

There’s an endless list of reasons for when you could use a photographer – here’s a basic list to get your creative juices going ........

Christmas / Christmas Functions

Milestones – pregnancy, births, first steps (first anything), Christening, first birthday

Valentine’s Day / Engagements / Weddings

Mother’s Day / Father’s Day

Birthdays /Anniversaries

Special Events – even your Pets!

I’m also keen to try out some Commercial photography, especially Real Estate, I love taking photos of people’s houses.

When’s the best time for our photo shoot?

I like to meet my clients around 4pm at this time of year – if you have a look outside, you’ll see that the sunlight is getting softer with a gorgeous glow – all the better to shoot with!

What should I wear to my photo shoot?

Believe it or not, long sleeved black/dark shirts look best, especially if you would like black and white photos.

But wear what you feel comfortable in. Some of my suggestions are -

  • Solid, bright coloured clothing;
  • Denim jeans and white shirts;
  • If your kids love dress ups, then bring those clothes along and let them have some fun;
  • If you or your child has a hobby or interest (eg violin, guitar, books) that shows your/their personality, please feel free to bring along as well!

If you’re still not sure, bring a couple of sets of clothes to the shoot.

Yummy Mummies

I’m looking for some pregnant tummies to photograph as well, if you’re interested just let me know and I’ll do your session for free.

If you’d like to be taken off the mailing list, just let me know (I won’t be offended).

My website page is on its way – keep an eye out for it.

Thanks again

PS – don’t forget my Christmas special offers

Friday's Wedding

Today I had the privilege of being 2nd shooter for Trudy from Studio Con Brio. Trudy and I have known each other for years when she used to work for Ben, my husband, so it was great to hang out with Trudy and see how she was shooting weddings now.

We had such a great day with an amazing couple and an excellent bridal party!






Congratulations Michael and Jessica! Enjoy your Thailand honeymoon.

Photo Shoot

Back in July we went for a fun photo shoot on a cattle property at Mt Mee - and these 4 little models were just a pleasure to "shoot".





Welcome to Lisa Clark Studios

I've always enjoyed photography and with my husband being predominantly a wedding photographer, I was always the one taking the point and shoot camera to capture those precious family moments.

So in 2008 I decided I was going to take my photography further, do a course, go to August Exposure (where amazing Australian photographers gave us so many incredible tips and ideas for all of us budding photographers) and here I am, starting a new business and blog.....and I'm quite excited about the whole prospect.

I'll update the blog all the time with the photo sessions I've taken, all of my upcoming specials and links to some amazing people who have been an inspiration to me.

I hope you'll enjoy it.

Lisa
