As part of our son’s birthday present, he got some time shooting a pistol at the shooting range. I remember when he was happy to celebrate with a new Thomas the Tank Engine.

I usually hold my family sessions around the beach so it was great to ‘head bush’ and try some new venues … while still only 5 minutes from home. Gorgeous afternoon light and tall, white flannel flowers made for a great backdrop. I first saw these sisters when they started kindergarten, so it was lovely to see the beautiful, poised young women they have become.

What’s not to love about getting ready for Christmas?

Sometimes as parents you get busy with the day-to-day logistics of balancing work and family commitments, so it’s nice to step back and take a moment to reflect on your relationship. 18 years. That’s impressive Kerry-Anne + Ben.

A few photos from my session with this gorgeous family on the weekend. Lovely to have the grandparents along for part of the shoot.

Now open for bookings! I am holding my mini-sessions again this year, aimed at children 0-13 years. As well as receiving 5 high-resolution edited digital images, this year I am also providing a digital Christmas card. This will be personalised for your family with images from your shoot. You can then email or publish your card online, or get your cards printed and post them.

Sessions will be held in North Curl Curl, between 10am-6pm November 7-20.

The delightful Louis had us all running in circles trying to keep up with him at this afternoon’s shoot. He is at such a wonderful age to explore the world, all within the safety of his loving parent’s arms.

Okay … I’m smitten. Just one more photo of Lucy while I’m editing the images from her shoot.

Even with two older brothers in the house, Lucy is generally the one making the most commotion, so it was lovely to capture her in a serene moment.

Practising blowing kisses. A valuable life skill for every girl.

My photo was announced as a finalist in the Camera House competition with the theme ‘My Workplace’. This should make my boss happy!
