The most common statement I hear at the beginning of my booking process is “We don’t know what we are doing, we are going to be so awkward in front of the camera”. I had some headshots taken a few weeks back and it was a great refresher into exactly what that statement means and

There is something special about having photographs taken in your home. It is the only place I have my family photographed. It is where those fleeting golden moments happen, you know the ones. The ones where your heart starts to glow, the moments we dreamed of before we became parents. They don’t happen often (in

Anyone else in two minds about this lockdown ending? Professionally, I feel so excited about getting back out with my camera and clients! This downtime has allowed me to really settle into where I want to be going next creatively and with the business. I’m ready to get started. Personally, I am relieved that Hen

Ricketts Point is home for me now. I cannot imagine ever moving away from it. It is the location I use the most for my family sessions and it is one of my all time favourites. ❤ Every time I visit there with a family, I find a new little pocket to explore, it is

I watched a brilliant masterclass by Annie Leibovitz years ago and something she said really struck me. Annie shared how she approaches working with a subject for a photo session, including refuting the popular notion that it is a photographer’s responsibility to put a subject at ease.   I have had an internal battle with

Late last year a series of events led me to photograph two motherhood sessions. They were intimate and gentle, and they blew me away. . So, for the first year ever, I am introducing motherhood mini sessions to celebrate Mother’s Day. Just mums and their babies (of any age!). The times and locations of these

I picked her up in my GP’s reception. There were too many things that aligned in our journey to not ask. “Can I have your number, we should catch up”. I am so grateful for the people this mothering journey has brought into my life. Along with the confidence to ask for a someones phone

Introducing the gentle grace of Orla. A small, warm soul who is so beautifully enveloped with love that she glows with golden light. This session made my heart dance, such pure connections to photograph between these three. Another reason I support the winter month sessions. The snuggles, the textures, the warmth.           

Did you know there are some sharks that hatch from eggs? We found one of these eggs on this family photography session whilst hunting around the rocks along Beaumaris beach heading towards Black Rock. The perfect beach discovery. Lately my family photography sessions have been much more about the journey and the exploration than the

This is going to be a two part blog and a perfect example of how you can introduce multiple photo locations and clothing changes during your family lifestyle photography session and really tell a story with your imagery. The first part of this family session shows the comforts of home and that perfect way we

I’m not going to lie to you. Extended family photo sessions used to freak me out. I was scarred from my wedding photography days when you would get the list of family photographs wanted after the ceremony. An important documentation of family history, yes! I agree! But to a photographer who has been given a

It’s the quietest time of year for family portrait sessions, winter. A number of my clients want their portraits to be taken on one of those classic Australian hot, balmy long evenings. The reality is though that if there are young ones involved in your photo session then a later start can often be really

It comes down to what you want to remember. Which memories are your most precious, what defines you as a family? When your children sit down with their children to show them what life was like, what do your memories look like? This glorious Family Lifestyle session is probably one of my favourites for 2017.
