I find the ANZAC Day marches so powerful and emotional to watch. Captured these solemn and perfectly uniformed sailors during the Sydney 2017 march. My photo was just selected as a finalist in the Camera House competition with the theme EVENT.

Life goals. To be as fearless, gracious and positive as Vera is when I reach 87 years old. We did another photo shoot this morning down at the pool and she is totally game to try anything I suggest. Love her.

Love this city in Summer. We turned ‘date night’ into a whole day out, watching Brandon Stanton give a talk at the Opera House about his great HONY series, then daytripping through the Botanic Gardens and The Rocks. Then across the harbour to Taronga Zoo for a twilight concert with Neil + Liam Finn.

Most newborn photo shoots are held within the first 2 weeks to ensure the baby is super sleepy and snuggly. But I’m in love with the photos from 9 week old Adelyn’s shoot. Alert, engaged and focusing on her parents, she was a delight to photograph.

Some children are quite tentative when a whole cake is placed in front of them, but Mia showed no hesitation, and demolished hers with gusto and creative flair. The photo has always been a favourite of mine, so I’m thrilled it was just awarded as a finalist in the Camera House competition with the theme HAPPINESS.

Oh my goodness, how gorgeous is little Adelyn? At 9 weeks old, she was very alert and kept incredible eye contact with me throughout this morning’s session. I could happily have kept photographing her all day.

A beautiful idea for a present for the matriarch of the family …. organise for all her children and grandchildren to be together for a photo shoot. Lovely to capture her garden and house in the photos, as it holds so much family history and memories from the last 33 years.

Thinking of getting some casual and relaxed family photos? It’s a perfect time of year to be outdoors! Get in touch if you would like me to send you a Welcome Guide that has all the information about what is included in my family sessions and examples of my style of photography.

Don’t forget to take lots of photos this week if you have children heading back to school. You will love looking back on them for many years to come. Here’s one my dad took of me in primary school. Okay, maybe the suitcase dates me!

Excited to share some favourite images from my newborn twins session. They both had so much character emerging all ready at even 6 weeks old.

Oh Annabel, what a beautiful way to celebrate your first birthday. Surrounded by a whole lot of love, familiar faces, and lots of cake. Happy Birthday!
