Holidays …

I’ve just come back from a wonderful trip to Vietnam and friends have asked “oh, you must have taken lots of great photos with your big camera?” But the irony of being a photographer in my day job, I now only travel with my iPhone in my pocket to capture it. How wonderful to have all this incredible tech so easily available to us.

Aged …

I love the connection that I can build with families over the years of photographing them. It’s so powerful to have images to look back on. When I photographed Tobey 7 years ago, I asked him to bring along something he had an interest in. And all these years later, he is still passionate about his music. And also very accomplished. It was great to photograph him playing as part of the band at his school graduation this week.

Manly Selective Year 12 Graduation …

A great celebration yesterday to recognise the culmination of a 13 year journey for these students. The support from family, peers and staff was evident as the students closed this chapter and looked towards their future. Congratulations and well done.
All photos have been uploaded to an online gallery, and the school will be sharing the link and password so you can download your photos from the day.

Juliette …

The tag line for my business is “Unhurried. All inclusive. All about you”. Even with my Christmas mini-sessions I don’t rush you through the door with people waiting behind you. I love to spend the time with your family and give you the space to show me the connections you have. Then I’m excited to welcome you back each year to document the changes. This is what makes my heart sing.
Thanks Juliette for trusting your beautiful family to me for the last 7 years šŸ’•
