A new baby is on the way, and we are so excited! What a privilege it was to photograph a maternity session for these Darlings… my nephew and niece-in-law.Though I say “in-law,” neither of my nieces-in-law have ever felt like that to me… they’re simply family. This dad-to-be (well, he already is one really) was the most glorious, easy-going baby….
A Very Special Birthday A very special birthday was being celebrated. Family was flying in from all over the world to be together. Her children knew that nothing would be a more meaningful gift to their mum than family photos during their stay at Ardo Townsville. So, her daughter googled and found me. I’m always…
I like to call this Family Photography Session “The Back Arching Stage”. It should be the official name for this stage of a toddler’s life. When he would much rather be running free (especially toward water) than being held. He is at a wonderful age where independence is discovered, and every moment feels like an adventure. This…
Family photos in the backyard. Six years ago I photographed a wedding. A beautiful mum was sitting with her little baby on her lap. Of course I took a photo. When I photographed them recently in their backyard for their 10th wedding vowel renewal, she reminded me. It was that photo of her with her…
Any time with this family is total fun for me… It means everything to be their family photographer. If I was younger (and without kids of my own…because I have never been tempted to babysit since having my own children) I would be delighted to be this family’s babysitter. The parents delight me, their children delight me….
I feel deeply privileged when I get to document people’s journeys… this glorious couple came to me years ago for a couple’s photo shoot. Then a little while later an engagement shoot. Then fast forward a little further and there I am documenting their glorious baby the day after they came home from hospital. When…
Gift vouchers towards newborn photo at home are such a thoughtful and practical gift. Often you aren’t even thinking that far ahead with everything else you are trying to prepare. When their family generously gifted them a voucher towards newborn photos, I knew this was going to mean so much. Often more then they are…
A well planned out family photo shoot for an afternoon on the beach will only get you so far…and what comes after… that is what I wait for. Kathyrn and I had chatted on the phone and Kathyrn had a clear photo in mind that she was hoping for. A photo of their family looking…
Oh Henry || 8 months old The title is what my heart kept saying when I was with this gorgeous baby boy and continued to do so while he was on my screen. I can’t think of a better title for this sweet baby boy’s photos. Using a backdrop stand isn’t something I would normally…
