1. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Heartbeats Photography Captures Lives from the Womb to Childhood
Perth, Australia - May 28, 2011 – Photographs are one of the best ways to record the many
changing moments in the lives of loved ones. Mellisa Paterson, photographer and owner of
Heartbeats Photography (http://www.heartbeatsphotography.com.au), captures each stage in
her clients’ lives, from pregnancy and beyond.
“Our kid’s appearance can change incredibly quickly, so it is wonderful to photograph them at
each special stage and be able to forever admire those beautiful moments,” said Paterson.
Paterson provides maternity photography, a popular and growing trend among mothers-to-be
that documents any stage of pregnancy while the baby is still in the womb. Photo shoots can be
arranged with the mother, both parents, or any combination of subjects that clients desire. A
private studio session can be booked, or clients can arrange for photos to be taken in a location
of their choice.
The first months of a child’s life are some of the most precious to new parents and Paterson is
adept at newborn photography for children up to six months, replicating unique moments that
will never come again. A special perspective is needed to portray the innocence of baby’s first
months of life and Paterson provides photos that will touch the heart for years to come.
Toddlers are powerhouses of energy and a special look or gesture can come and go in the blink
of an eye. Paterson is experienced in anticipating those moments and being on the spot when
they occur.
Big kids offer a myriad of photo opportunities, at home and in special surroundings. Studio
portraits can be scheduled, or parents can choose a specific venue in which to document their
child’s wonder as they experience the world. Sibling portraits are also available to record the
love and special bond that exists between brothers and sisters.
Heartbeats Photography is an ideal way to capture the different stages of a growing family.
Traditional poses can be obtained, or clients can let Paterson use her considerable talents to
create unique photos that highlight subjects’ individual personalities.
Clients who place print orders of $100 or more will receive a voucher from Waves Body Works,
Subiaco for a free 30-minute massage. Vouchers are good for one person and can be redeemed
any time within six months from the date of issue. Clients receive a $50 print credit on orders of
$200. Sitting fees are refunded when a gold or premium diamond Heartbeats package is
purchased or on orders of $650 or more.

2. For a truly unique photo shoot, makeup and hair stylists can be arranged to create a glamorous
look for subjects. Those who wish glam sessions need to book in advance and notify Paterson to
ensure the availability of stylists.
Heartbeats Photography provides families with professional photos that capture the unique
moments in the lives of families. Sessions are approached with humor, patience and
understanding. Paterson has many years of experience working with children to obtain photos
that become treasured family heirlooms to be enjoyed for a lifetime.
