Such a gorgeous time of year to head down to the beach for an afternoon photo shoot. No crowds and lots of beautiful, golden light. Loved catching up once again with the delightful Mia and her family yesterday.

I have so much fun shooting the Cake Smash sessions and love watching a child’s response to being left alone with their very own cake. Nathan approached his with a great sense of adventure … delighted with his good fortune.

How sublime. 11 days old and just perfect.

Oh, look who I got to photograph today. Adorable 5 week old brothers. And one of the great benefits of working with twins is that I got double the cuddles.

A sneak peek of some photos from Elijah’s big day yesterday. Such a gorgeously happy little boy, accepting a year’s worth of kisses with a smile …. and just a little nap through his service

Camera House had a competition with the theme ‘Letters + Numbers’ and my photo was just announced as a finalist. It’s great having a back catalogue of photos from our years in NY to dip into. I remember just walking out of the huge camera superstore on 9th Ave (where I may have accidently spent more money on camera kit) and finally saw this iconic building.

The slideshow from Fiona’s family shoot last week down at North Curly beach. It’s a wonderful thing to take some time out and capture your family before all three children are adults.

Our Kombi Lola gets a whole lot of love, and she even made an appearance in one of my family shoots down the beach last week.

When I shoot a family session, I always encourage the parents to get some photos together. Often there is a bit of laughter and hesitation, as the couples realise they haven’t had photos taken together since their wedding. Boyana and Peter needed no prompting …. these two are such romantics and it was so sweet to watch such genuine affection between them.

To all the beautiful mothers who have allowed me to capture part of their journey over the last year, I am so grateful to have worked with you and wish you love and happiness today. And for the mothers I’ve photographed through Heartfelt, my thoughts and love are with you today X

Coordinating the schedules of a family with grown children can be challenging, but we found a time to get everyone together for a shoot. Gorgeous afternoon light down at North Curly beach at this time of year. The family shoot was a present for Fiona from her sister. Happy Birthday Fiona!

With both sets of grandparents in town for a first birthday party, it was a great time to get some photos of the whole family together. With shelves and baskets filled with books, it was a wonderful house to photograph in, with my favourite props easily to hand in each room.
