Studio News!

Just a quick post to let you know that my website is currently down and I do not have access to my webmail!!! I am hoping that it is all sorted by next week, but in the meantime, if you have sent me an email and I haven't responded, this is why. You are more than welcome to email me at jemma.entriken@bigpond.com and just put White Wish Inquiry as the subject.

I apologise for any inconvenience.

On a brighter note, I have had some beautiful sessions over the last couple of weeks that I look forward to sharing soon. Also a divine wedding for me to photograph this coming Saturday!

White Wish NEWS FLASH ♥

Just a quick post to let my gorgeous clients know that I am taking personal leave for the month of September. We are heading to Fraser Island for a week and for the remainder, I will simply be taking time to smell the roses ♥ It will be my first 'official' holiday in quite some time and after what has happened this year, I am REALLY looking forward to it. I will be putting my mobile aside, so it is probably best to shoot me an email and I will answer when I return at the beginning of October. Also in early October, I am shooting a very special wedding ♥ so be sure to keep checking in!!!

Monday marks a VERY special day ~ our beautiful Belle will turn One. I can't believe it. Time passes us by way too quickly. She is such a blessing, allbeit, a determined little blessing ;) It is party time on Saturday so I will have to blog about it during my holiday.

I'll leave you with some of my favourite images from Mandy and Jamie's Engagement Session ~ YES... this is the upcoming wedding I will be privelleged to capture. They truly are as beautiful inside as they are out ♥ Can't wait till their big day!

Brothers ♥ GOLD COAST PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

A couple of weeks ago, I had a visit from an old work colleague and lovely friend Paige. She brought her boys for a session and wasn't wrong when she told me "I hope you have your running shoes on!!!" lol :) I replied with "I have a broken toe, so no running shoes possible - so they had better play nice!!!" ;) It was a busy session, but worth it with the results!!!

Paige, thanks so much for coming to visit me in my studio. It means so so much for you to come and support my business and give me the opportunity to create some special art for you. It was so lovely to catch up xxx

I can't wait to see this first image as a canvas!!! Very special. And a couple of other favourites to share too. Please feel free to share this Blog link with friends and family and leave a comment by clicking on the link below.



There is something about Master K that melts a little bit of my heart ♥ Sweetheart ♥




Master X ~ those baby blues and porcelien skin ALSO melt my heart ♥ And will more than likely melt a few more hearts down the track ♥

Sweet Perfection ♥ Gold Coast Newborn Photographer

I am blessed with such beautiful clientelle and it is clients like these that make me realize just how lucky I am to be a photographer. From the moment I met this family, I knew they were beautiful inside and out. Their warm smiles; the love for their girls oozing from their every pore; their appreciation of custom portraiture; even down to their perfectly ironed selection of designer dresses for Miss A. Just perfect ♥

I captured some divine images of their brand new princess as well some very special shots of big sister A, whom might I add, had possibly the best eye-lashes I have EVER seen!!! My only regret was not getting Mum & Dad in on the action!!! Next time for sure :)

This first image was ordered as a big canvas print ~ Canvas Prints are without a doubt the most popular product in the Studio and I think it will look delicious on their wall, don't you?! Please enjoy this selection of SOME of my favourite images from this beautiful session and if you have a moment, please leave me some 'blog love' in the comments area below.

Studio News ♥

I can't believe it has already been nearly 10 weeks since losing Dad. Such a difficult time made a little easier by the love and support of those around me. Over this time, I have done in excess of 20 sessions! I thought if I kept myself busy, it would help to keep my mind off the reality of everything, but in the process combined with the fact that little Belle is STILL waking me about 6 times a night, I have found myself a bit swamped.

So to all of my beautiful clients, who have waited for longer to view your galleries, or receive your orders, I am so sorry. Obviously, I bit off more than I could chew!!! Hopefully your portraits will be worth the wait.

Things are beginning to get back on track ~ I have several orders going out this week, and I am looking forward to lots of wonderful things for White Wish over the next 12 months. I attended a day workshop with an amazing photographer from America 'Brianna Graham' and am feeling very inspired! I will share a few images from this day plus more client shares over the next couple of weeks.

My little family was also lucky enough to model for 'Raye Law' another uber-talented US photographer, for this years amazing Inspire Me photographer's workshop. I am so thrilled with the images I have seen so far and look forward to sharing them with you all.... and getting some up on my walls!!!

There will be a little change in my Blogging too. Sneak Peeks are being replaced with Artist's Faves and will be shared after ordering sessions.

And because a post is not a post without an image, my little Bluebelle ♥ Did I mention that she is 9 months already????? She walks around furniture and tries to let go! Waves, claps and is pretty cute all round ♥ .... apart from the sleeping department!!!! :D

Little Miss L ♥ GOLD COAST PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER ♥

Last week I had another gorgeous little family in the studio. The session was mainly for sweet little L ~ her first official photo shoot and she was a little star! I have so many beautiful images that I think you will LOVE ♥

Enjoy your 'large-ish' Sneak Peek!!! I couldn't help myself!!! Please leave a comment below and feel free to share this link with friends and family. xxx










ummmmmm..... Hello Yummy Mummy! ♥ Erin you are a stunner x

Little Wishes begins ♥

If you haven't already, be sure to pop over to the Little Wishes Blog!
Access via my main website of course, or just click on the link ^ I am super excited about this project for some super special little souls and their amazing families x Bede is my first little star ~ and I think I am in L♥Ve ! and I wish him all the health in the world!! ~ he already has all the L♥VE in the world! xxx

A beautiful day ♥

Today has been a wonderful day for me... One of those days I am extra thankful for all that I have in my life. It may have something to do with the fact that I had my first full night's sleep in weeks!!!!! yahoooooo!!!!! or something to do with the inspiring video Ainslie posted on Facebook today? You seriously need to click on this link ~ it will take you to Nic Vujicic's video 'Never Gave Up' on YouTube ~ turn up the volume and be inspired by this incredible individual.

Probably a combination. I feel so blessed for my life and those in it. I seriously am married to an amazing man.... he is the doer of all doers! Last week I mentioned I would like a new shelf in the studio {that he built! of course} and the next day he was installing it! He is a beautiful Daddy and a beautiful person and is the L♥Ve of my life. Whatever did I do to deserve him? ♥ And to think that I am doing a job that I adore, working from home and raising my family? Sometimes I need to pinch myself.

Enough of my happy rant :) We shed enough tears for Kosta last week so I knew this week would be brighter.

Also in the studio I have a new display, for my gorgeous new shelf! I discovered Kristy and Alex whilst shopping online {shhhhhhhhhh!!!} ~ they are 2 talented women, living on cattle properties, homeschooling their children and still finding time to create divine accessories for their business. You can visit their blog at AnK Bowtique ~ their designs are absolutely delicious and are available for sale in ther studio, so make sure you check it out next time you visit. Of course Belle already has some special pieces and Chloe couldn't go without either!!! But there are plenty left and they would make a gorgeous gift for any little girl.

Wrapping up this post with some photos ~ shock!!!! Enjoy x

Little Cherubs ♥ GOLD COAST PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER ♥

Yesterday I had a studio session with some gorgeous little cherubs. The eldest two ~ blonde hair, blue eyed and little number 3 inheriting his Mum's beautiful olive skin and big brown eyes. A bit like my 3, but in reverse! Rochelle and I have known eachother since grade 1 ~ yes, that would be about 27 years!!!!!! so it was lovely to catch up.

So I finally had a little boy bub to model my little vintage overalls that have been on my prop shelf for months and I got some Gorgeous shots!!! Thanks Rochelle for being open to my idea ;)
and thanks kids for being the gorgeous kids that you are!

Enjoy your Sneak Peek and feel free to leave a comment below and to share the link with friends and family. x









And.... just one more! How cute is this expression??? Divine ♥

Handsome♥ {GOLD COAST PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER}

Once in a while, a photographer sees a face that they MUST capture. Whether it be the hair, the eyes, the freckles or the whole package.... Meet handsome Master A ~ the first little dude for my Fresh Faces Campaign this year. Thanks R for accepting my offer, and thanks A for not only looking the part, but also for acting the part..... little legend ♥ I think this face should be gracing the covers of magazines!!!

Welcome to Cassie ~ Studio Manager for White Wish Photography

It is Official! I am so excited to announce that White Wish has become quite the busy little business for me and yesterday I made the decision to put on a 'Studio Manager'. Introducing Cassie ~ who will be working with me on Tuesdays for now, and hopefully more days down the track. I have been a lot busier than I had anticipated over my maternity leave and trying to juggle baby Belle with running a business has proved quite the challenge. Cassie will be a great asset.

She is a wonderful Mum to two beautiful, lucky little kids and has a great passion for photography. Her duties will include helping with Belle, assisting with sessions, packaging orders, maintaining paperwork, emailing and whatever else we can pack in to her day ;) Look out Cassie!!! Seriously though, I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders already and she hasn't even started yet. Welcome aboard Cassie :)

I am presently in the process of contacting each and everyone on my waiting list for a session in 2010. Priority will be given to newborns and maternity and I will work down the list from when people emailed me. If you could please email me back promptly to let me know if the proposed session date works for you, that would be wonderful. I am hoping to book 2 sessions per week to give me time to spend with bubby {who may I add is growing up WAY too quickly!!!}

And because a post is not a post without a photo, the lovely Cassie. x

Natty & Grant's Wedding ♥ Gold Coast Wedding Photographer

On Sunday, one of my very best friends married the love of her life. It was a gorgeous ceremony at their home in Northern NSW ♥ The skies opened during the ceremony, showering Nat & Grant with a lifetime of luck. Natty ~ you looked totally gorgeous ~ thanks for letting me capture part of your day. Another photographer friend Marina covered the all important couple shots while I looked after my sweet little Bluebelle... Can't wait to see them Reen, no doubt they will be hot!

Enjoy guys! Congratulations Mr & Mrs P! Have an amazing honeymoon ♥

The J Family ♥ Gold Coast Family Photographer

Yesterday I had my cousin and her lovely family in the studio to capture Miss C at one and some family portraits too. It was a busy shoot resulting in lots of great shots and a sore throat for me from making so many crazy sounds over a few hours!!!

Just two for now... I am yet to edit the family shots. Hope you like ♥ Feel free to leave a comment by clicking on comments below. xxx

Chloe ♥

While the boys are away, the girls will play! Today I took Chloe to the movies for a bit of one-on-one time with my 'big girl'. We saw 'The Princess & the Frog' and Chlo loved it. Belle stayed home with Glen and Jay then in the afternoon we swapped, Glen took Jay to see 'Old Dogs' and I stayed at home with the girls. It was a nice special day with our babes. Once Belle went down for a nap, Chloe and I had a play.... with the camera of course!!

She is the sweetest little thing and oh so pretty ~ and LOVEs the camera which is always a bonus ;) We bit the bullet, and sent some photos into a modelling agency and she has an interview on Monday so that should be fun. Regardless of whether she gets accepted or not, we think she is ♥Beautiful♥ inside and out!

Growing up WAY too quickly, Chloe ~ 5 and a half.
