Mother’s Day Special

Dear All Mums, Please exist in photos.

Hi, I am Sumiko Eyears, a professional portrait photographer of Sumico Photography based between Brisbane and Gold Coast.

Recently, I have read an article in Sydney Morning Herald and I thought that many people can relate to the article.

“When my friend’s mother died he found himself desperately needing to have photos to remember his mum by. But it dawned on him for the first time that, despite loving his mum dearly, he’d never once taken a photo of her.

Hoping that other people had taken photos of his mum, my friend combed through his mum’s possessions and his own childhood memorabilia looking for them.

He eventually managed to unearth one. Just one. That was it. One photo in total.

And it wasn’t recent. It was a yellowed photo of him as a toddler dressed in overalls trying to scramble off his mother’s knee.”

One of my friends said recently, if she died tomorrow her young kids would have no evidence to show that she was in their lives.

I am a mum of a son and two furry children. I was the same like the mum – writer’s friend – who does not exist in my son’s childhood. I did not want to get in the photos. Every time I saw myself in the photos, I just looked for something wrong about myself. There are so many photos of my husband and him, our dog and him, him and his friends but very little photos of me and him. Now I regret and I wish that I would be in the photos more often. There is not much evidence that I was with him when he was little. Sadly, I cannot go back to the time when he was little and take photos of me and him.

Luckily, we had been taken photos professionally when our son was 7 year old and I love the photos. I am so glad that we did. That’s why I like to recommend the experience with professional photographers.

I like all the mum to exist in the photos for their children.

Work with B Styled for Life for South City Bulletin

Sumico Photography worked together with B Styled for Life for Another editorial work.

Moana is a life coach, hypnotherapist and personal stylist. She did colour consultation and wardrobe audit for Dana. I took some photos of before and after.

I received some copies of South City Bulletin September issue. Great to see my photography work on the paper. 🙂
The detailed article about Dana by Moana Robinson of B Styled For Life can be found in South City Bulletin website as well.

Thank you to South City Bulletin and Moana.

I would recommend Moana’s Colour consultation services prior to the photography session. You are sure and feel confident what colour suits you the best. She also helps to choose what kind of clothing would be the best for the photoshoot as well.

For the details of Moana’s services, visit B Styled Life website.

Makeover Story by B Styled for Life | South City Bulletin

South City Bulletin Article by B Styled for Life, Photography by Sumico Photography

I work with Moana Robinson from B Styled for Life. Moana is a personal stylist and a life coach.

Moana did a fantastic makeover for a lady called Cheryl. Cheryl’s makeover goal was to look professional for interviews for a possible future permanent position.

Cheryl’s makeover included colour consultation, body consultation, makeup, hair cut, colour, and styling, and personal shopping with Moana.

Sumiko Eyears of Sumico Photography joined Cheryl and Moana at Hair Design by Lou in Daisy Hill (Southside of Brisbane) and took Cheryl’s photos at the hair salon and when they are enjoying shopping.

You can find the full story in the South City Bulletin Paper or online on South City Bulletin website – http://southcitybulletin.com.au/living/beauty-fashion/cheryls-positive-outlook-rewarded/

This is my second time to follow Moana’s makeover clients.

I enjoy watching the ladies transforming and gaining more confidence within them and just look so happy.

It would be a great idea for people who like to have photography session contact Moana, then find out true colours and bring clothes which are really great on you. Moana also helps people choose their outfits for photography session at their homes or via skype. More details about Moana’s services, please visit her style website http://beautyglow.com.au or style and life coach website http://bstyledforlife.com.au/
