A day with Danielle Stahl

You know you are an amazing photographer when you return to Darwin to photograph your wonderful clients who have all grown up – That is Danielle Stahl, 2012 AIPP Family Photographer of the Year, from Danielle Stahl Photography.

When Danielle asked me to join her for a day of photographing her beautiful families, it was an opportunity I couldn’t resist – and what a beautiful day it was! The weather was perfect, the light was so lovely and her clients – just GORGEOUS! I saw first hand Danielle’s professionalism and the fantastic rapport Danielle has with her clients. That is something very special.

I also got the fun job of playing peek a boo and making all sorts of funny faces to get some smiles out of the kids!

Thank you Danielle for a great day and for all your advice and mentoring.

Susan provided an excellent, tailored service for both a maternity and newborn photo session. We had to reschedule several times but she was very accommodating. The sessions were easy and relaxed, with the final photos looking phenomenal - it was a difficult task to sort through them to find the best ones! Highly recommended and would definitely do another photo package again.

I would definitely recommend Little Cherub Photography for anyone wishing to capture those precious and fleeting moments in time with a new baby. Susan always strives for perfection in her work and is warm, professional and passionate about photography and newborns. She has photographed our family three times now and has impressed us with her creativity and vision for producing a beautiful family gallery each time. Susan is extremely insightful of a newborn’s needs and feelings, and watching her work with children and babies is amazing. If you are looking for unique and timeless shots to treasure that special newborn phase, I would definitely recommend Little Cherub Photography.

We chose Little Cherub for my newborn photo shoot. Susan is friendly and kind. She is willing to explain what we do not understand. Her photography skill is excellent and professional. We just regret we did not choose option B from the beginning then we could have had more time (2 hours) and could have had a more special beautiful shoot for my son. Option A (30 mins) which is only 5 photos does not work for us as many nice photos were taken by Susan and we don't wanna lose them.As she is usually busy, sometimes she does not answer my emails or send me a reminder. It will be great if there is a receptionist who can help with booking appointments and explaining to customers.I strongly recommend Susan at Little Cherub if you are planning to have a newborn photoshoot. I promise you will fall in love with her photos. If I can give 6 stars, I will surely.

Second time that we had our photos done by Susan and it's just getting better and better! Susan has been very patient as always and so passionate in her craft. We had lots of lovely photos and we just can't decide what to choose from. She also did a remake pose of my first bub and can't believe how my two girls look like twins. We did a maternity shoot and lots of family photos and she has been extraordinarily patient especially with a very active 20 month old to include. I always will go to Little Cherub for our photos and highly recommend her to everybody.😊

Our photo experience was nothing short of amazing. Susan was so professional and fantastic with our little one. Nothing was too much and she was so patient with baby and siblings during the shoot. I loved the selection session where she provided us with so much expert guidance on the photos to select and we absolutely love our photos!

Susan captured newborn photos of my daughter two years ago and I knew I had to rebook when I became pregnant with my son. Susan captured beautiful shots of my new baby which will be treasured forever. We also got stunning family photos, Susan was so patient with our toddler. I highly recommend Little Cherub Photography!

I had a newborn shoot with Susan and it was a fantastic experience. She was great with working with bub to calm, settle and get lovely photos.She has a beautiful studio and a lot of options to accommodate any style. My older children were also involved and she was great working with them, getting them at ease with the process and getting amazing photos that showcase their personalities.Had fun with the session and loved the outcome.

Susan was absolutely amazing to deal with, as we are new parents we arrived exhausted, highly strung and overwhelmed. She immediately took over managing to settle our newborn and giving us a much-needed reprieve. The photos she managed to capture brought a tear to my husband's eye who initially did not see the value in newborn photos. Cannot recommend enough

We had a photoshoot done by Susan with our 2 1/2 week old and I cannot thank her enough! Susan was very professional and listened to everything we wanted while making recommendations on what styles would suit what we were after. She was absolutely amazing with our baby. She was patient and able to settle her so easily to ensure that she got the most perfect photos. We are so happy with how they turned out and so thankful for the memories she captured. Will definitely be back for more photos in the future! :D

As a grandparent, this is my fourth visit to Susan to capture the special moments of our newest addition, Penelope, to the family. Susan is generous with her time and makes sure everyone is comfortable and relaxed. She works her magic so effortlessly, and genuinely loves what she does, the results are astounding and speak for themselves. With No. 5 grandchild due very soon, I made sure we were booked in and look forward to once again witnessing the baby whisperer creating memories for us to show off and cherish for years to come. Thank you Susan.

So very happy with our newborn shoot from Little Cherub Photography. Susan was amazing and made our job as new parents easy. I was extremely nervous as our little man was unsettled but Susan made us feel comfortable and worked her magic which resulted in a beautiful gallery of photos for us to choose from. Couldn’t recommend enough 🙌🏼

Absolutely worth every star!Susan is incredibly talented and is such a natural with newborns! It was so mesmerising to see how well Susan could settle and pose my son even at 4 weeks old. The Little Cherub studio is incredible, there is so much room for customisation with your shoots and the space is so calming, there is also a change table for your convenience.My newborn absolutely loved his session and his photos are incredible. Susan was incredibly flexible with us as we had to do two sessions due to my partner having work and kindly fit us in.Memories that’ll last a life time and incredible gifts for grandparents!

I cant rate Susan and Little Cherub Photography high enough! The photos are absolutely beautiful, and Susan is just so amazing at what she does. Our little one never woke once and was comfortable and sleeping the whole time.The whole process was amazing and Susan made us feel involved every step of the way. Will definitely be back for any future babies!

I don’t often write reviews, but Susan captured the most amazing images of our little man. They are absolutely stunning and we will cherish them for a lifetime. Her studio is lovely and she was so incredible with keeping our little man calm and relaxed throughout his photo shoot. I can’t recommend Little Cherub Photography highly enough. 💗

We have had the privilege of Susan taking photos of all 3 of our babies and she doesn't disappoint! We keep going back because she makes the process so easy and her high quality work is always consistent. It's not easy the third time around taking sibling photos of a 5 year old, a toddler and a baby but she was patient, understanding and was able to work according to how the kids were feeling at the time. Her selections of wraps, baby clothes and props are so vast, it was hard to make decisions on what we wanted but she was there to guide us and make suggestions on what would suit our needs. Thank you Susan for giving us these beautiful photos that we will cherish forever!

Each photograph tells a story, and I am grateful for the memories she preserved for me.Her attention to detail and creative eye are truly impressive.
