A photo from this morning’s newborn shoot, with the gorgeous 11 day old Sione safely wrapped up in his parents arms. His name is the Samoan variant of John, and he is named after his grandfather.

“The act of finding something valuable or delightful when you are not looking for it”. I love this concept and fully embraced it while meandering around The Rocks yesterday with my camera. So many timeless and hidden gems tucked away, hard pressed against the encroaching city.

Inquisitive. Explainer of all things. Deep thinker. And freckles. What a winning combination in life.

Great night photographing the 5th birthday celebrations of this Neapolitan restaurant in Manly. Music, wine, laughter and a table heavy with wood-fired pizza and hearty Italian fare. What’s not to love?

How did you stay cool in yesterday’s scorching heat? Luckily for Wilbur, he had a personal assistant following him around, keeping him drenched and happy.

A cloudy, misty start down the beach and they are my favourite conditions to photograph in … like a huge softbox providing soft, wraparound light. Ideal for little boys to learn how to fly.

It’s Friday … time to slow it down and relax. Unless you have young children, then it’s just business as usual.

Great to see this little man again today for a return visit. He was very serious throughout his shoot, but couldn’t keep that up when we got him outside and cranked up the bubbles.

Two shoots for Charlie in the one week! Such a lovely, relaxed Christening, with some family coming over from NZ to celebrate his big day. Charlie kept on trying to sneak up to see what the priest was up to during the service.

Redheads rule. I so love photographing children with red hair …. and if there are freckles as well, I’m smitten!

Charlie quickly embraced the concept of a Cake Smash and went over and above what was required. With cake distributed widely around the set, he escaped the chaos with a relaxing soak in the tub.
