You may have read on my other blog that Dad was unable to make it to our family photo shoot at the last minute. I couldn’t have them go without photos of this super important member of the family, so we made an extra plan. Elissa had told me they play out in the front…
It was a mission to get a date that the entire family would be together for their family photos. A date where the travelling newly-ish weds would be passing through town, and the other working adults would be available, whilst there was still light to photograph. A persistent mother/wife didn’t give up on what was…
A maternity photoshoot is always such a precious moment in time. I was invited into that precious time before their baby was announced. Amanda and Fili told me their exciting news! I had to try and keep a straight face, rather than screaming with excitement (as lots of people were around and would know their…
Celebrating ten years of love with vow renewals. I won’t hide it – I love vow renewals. It’s a gift to be invited into this celebratory space. To document another promise to each other. One of my most favourite things about them is that two people are publicly declaring again… I choose you…I choose us….

Archer was four months old. I can remember with each of my babies, I…
This growing family of three became four, and I had the privilege of capturing their newborn. It was only a little over a year ago and I was arriving at Ryan and Tara’s to photograph the arrival of their sweet Grace in a separate newborn shoot. I was beyond delighted when Tara contacted me to…
There’s nothing better than playing on the beach during a family photoshoot. The way Nat spoke about her family in her client questionnaire made my heart connect with her immediately. When I met her in real life at our family beach photoshoot, I felt that she was a dear friend rather than a new acquaintance….
Initially the plan was a Mother and Daughter photo session wearing special dresses with very significant meaning purchased on a very memorable shopping trip…then we thought the boys could join in as well. Well, sometimes works runs later and things are unavoidable which meant Joel was unable to meet us at the beach…Elissa was…
This is the third year I have photographed this family who is dear to my heart. As they arrived, I opened their car door and told them I will be devasted if they are ever not looking forward to seeing me, as much as I am them. They hid it well if they were already…
