Vera …

I have been so fortunate to have Vera as my neighbour, and over the last 9 years we’ve had such fun collaborating on shoots. And at 93, she is still completely rocking her job as my in-house bikini model. She keeps fit by walking laps around her house and I know not to interrupt her because she is counting the laps and trying to improve on her speed. She even has a bag still packed with her cossie, goggles and her body surfing hand plane. Life goals 💕

Behind the scenes …

So much fun this afternoon with Vera, my gorgeous 93 year old neighbour. She does’t hesitate when I say “I’ve bought you this great cossie today that matches your swim cap, want to come over for a poolside shoot?” This is my son Max, making sure she doesn’t go jumping into the pool 💕.

Hello …

I have been quiet over here on Facebook, but I have had a fabulous break, and have been enjoying Sydney with her Summer sparkle on. I’ve also been doing a lot of work behind the scenes and planning for the year ahead. I’m excited to get behind the camera again, but thought it was time to also get in front of the camera to update my headshots.

Faa …

I first photographed Faa and her family back in 2016, when she put her faith in my newly opened business. I have loved watching her family grow over the years and documenting the changes until they moved to Queensland. So I was thrilled that she booked in for a shoot when they were down over the holidays 💕

Some of the special little festive babies we photographed on behalf of Heartfelt. And I was lucky enough to meet and photograph the quads 💕

That’s a wrap …

 

 
 
Absolutely thrilled that my 8th year of Christmas mini-sessions was my biggest so far, with 74 families photographed. And what a delight to welcome 154 children in for photos. My favourite part was catching up with all the changes in my returning families, and also welcoming new ones. A little sneak peek of some of my festive visitors. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas 💕

Unhurried …

I describe the service I offer as ‘unhurried, all inclusive, all about you’. Because when I give you the time and space, everyone relaxes in front of the camera and I can capture those little moments that define your family.

Christmas …

Since the charity Heartfelt was started, volunteer photographers have looked after over 17,000 families, providing photographic memories to families who have experienced stillbirth or have children with a life threatening illness. So it’s on a much lighter note that we also visit local hospitals and provide free Christmas photos for babies in the NICU and special care nurseries. And the parents are always thrilled when we turn up with the little festive hats to use for their photos. This week I’ve been able to use some hats left over from last year, and also a new batch generously knitted with love by Karen Garmston.
