Annie la Rue Photography bio picture

hi, i'm annie...

Welcome to my blog.... I am a contemporary lifestyle photographer who splits my time between East Coast, Australia and Singapore.  

You can find my website portfolio here ... but this is the place to come if you'd like to see what I've recently been doing, listen to my random ramblings and sometimes see what's going on in my life.

After spending the past four years based in Singapore I have now returned to Canberra, ACT.  I still travel to Singapore every 12 weeks or so as well as servicing Sydney & Rural NSW.  If that doesn't cover you - just ask!  I have been tempted by Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong and even Brunei before!

If I had to describe my style I would say; honest and true.  I love to capture the true essence of a moment.  I thrive on capturing honest connections, with the camera but especially with each other, the true honesty that is a family, a friendship,  and love, sometimes warts and all!  

...thanks for stopping by... come often and please feel free to leave a comment!

introducing kieran… | newborn

I had a long pregnancy…Freya wasn’t in much of a hurry, she was induced after 42 weeks… it didn’t really feel long, I took a month off work beforehand to pamper myself and enjoy the last days of full independence…plenty of time to get pedicures, waddle down to Tanglin for chai lattes, shop, fluff the nest and at the time lie in front of the tv watching the Beijing Olympics…it was really quite lovely.

Kieran was not nearly as patient, his poor mother Annie was instead sitting at her desk preparing for a big presentation the next day, not a thought towards the handover she would eventually have to do for her super busy job…her baby due still another 8 weeks away… who would have ever thought he would decide that night was the night…

Here he is 7 weeks later and not technically due yet but all ready to take on the world… welcome little one.

introducing aiden… | newborn

what a gorgeous one to start with… I first heard from Susie way before she was due to give birth, I was so excited to hear he had arrived, albeit a couple of weeks early!

Aiden was so lucky to be able to have his mummy and daddy at home for the first few weeks before his dad had to go back to work.  It was so lovely to watch these two as a team, so supportive of each other and filled with so much love for their new little man.  I struggled to narrow down my favourite photos from this session….there were smiling ones and awake ones but for me a newborn baby snuggled in his mum and dad’s arms is just perfection….and if he is naked; well that’s just even better isn’t it?

For Susie’s friends and family in New York and Haider’s in Lahore, I hope you enjoy the sneak peek of this gorgeous new family of 3.

Haider, I hope your first day back at work wasn’t too painful (who am I kidding I’m sure it was tough..), feel free to check out these photos any time during the day! Thanks Guys for sharing him with me for a while.

introducing… max | newborn

I have been really looking forward to this shoot… Max’s dad Peter, is one of my brother’s besties.  They have been friends for as long as I can remember, they were in the year ahead of me at school, goodness we even all worked at the same high school job together (pizza hut! just in case you were curious)… this basically means I have known Pete….well let’s just say for-ever!!  I was just so excited when I got the email from Pete saying they were expecting and would I be able to capture their memories.

This was actually meant to be a “bump to babe” session; we had the bump session locked in…the day before I get a call from Pete to confirm the appointment, maybe some last minute questions, well so I thought…ahh…Annie just wanted to let you know we have to cancel the session tomorrow…ah oh, cold feet??…umm no, we are actually at the hospital!

Max’s mum and dad are doing an amazing job already, you only have to look at the photos to see that he is already just so happy, sleepy and content.  I can’t wait to watch how he grows.

He snuck into the world a wee bit early but here he is just 5 days old…welcome to the world little Max!

Congratulations Leeanne and Pete, he is just dee-vine!  I can’t wait to watch him grow as we just grow old-er! x

introducing…adrienne | newborn

Adrienne was such a little darling, she had just flown back from Perth to Singapore the night before, her first OS trip… a practice run for her first eventual trip home to the US.  Anyone who has a baby away from “home” knows all about this…the thought of international flying with a baby is enough to induce a panic attack in most, or at least hyperventilation!  I am one of them and I was lucky enough that our flight home was only 8 hours not like the monster journey to the UK or the US.  If Adrienne’s performance this time was anything to go by she will be just fine!

If you haven’t noticed by now, I LOVE a naked baby, which in a way makes preparing for a newborn session with me pretty easy!  But seriously it is lurve.

and how divine are Adrienne’s lips? just like cupid’s kiss!
