Every child approaches their Cake Smash differently. Alexia was very inquisitive and gentle, being happy to pat, hug and roll her cake around. More of a ‘Cake Consideration’ session.

Such an incredible and emotional experience to be there with Bel and Ry to capture the birth of baby William in a calm and peaceful water birth. 7 days later I was able to see just how quickly he had become a much loved member of this gorgeous family.

So much to love about this gorgeous couple and their beautiful, relaxed wedding. I’ve put together a sneak peek of a few of their photos from the day.

Congratulations Mr + Mrs Parkes. May your married life be as beautiful, relaxed and filled with love as your wedding day X

A quick video of the delightful Isabel from her session last week. The weather is warming up and we were able to get outside with the teepee again.

Loved having a birthday girl come to visit this morning. A riot of pink, tutus, angel wings, bubble baths, cake …. and don’t forget the watermelon! She embraced everything with gusto and a ready smile.

I’m still on such a high after photographing William’s birth! With thanks to Bel for letting me share some of the images from her incredible experience. So much love and emotion.

Such an honour and amazing experience to be asked to photograph a birth. A midnight dash to the hospital this morning to capture an incredible water birth. Bel was so strong, calm and in-tune with her body the whole time, beautifully supported by Ry. I’ve still got goosebumps thinking about it. And what a gorgeous, strapping 5.06kg baby boy! Much love to you X

I love that my day involved listening to the sweet sing-song voice of a one year old. Watching her make tentative steps, then wobble quickly back to the safety of her mother’s arms. Priceless.

Setting up for a children’s shoot this afternoon and it’s good to see my photography assistant is doing a comprehensive check of all the props to ensure comfort levels are high.
