A day home editing. My overseer makes sure I don’t sneak away from my desk for coffee or an afternoon nap in the sunshine.

With this mum only having 2 weeks before giving birth, I wanted to capture some silhouettes of her gorgeous belly.

The sounds of a newborn settling herself to sleep have kept me smiling all day. Gorgeous morning spent photographing baby Eva and her parents, who are understandably smitten with their new arrival.

Bit crowded at North Curly beach yesterday, with 10 dolphins stealing the best waves.

What a delightful way to spend an afternoon …. playing dress-ups, eating cake and then soaking in some bubbles. Issy happily chatted and sang all the way through her photo shoot and proved very adept at smashing through her cake.

Absolutely thrilled to have another photo of Vera receive such wonderful recognition. I’ve just won Camera House’s competition with the theme ‘my daily happiness’ and scored a new camera. Will have to print an enlargement of this for Vera so she can hang it with her other ‘modelling’ shots!

What’s not to love about Louis? He worked his way up to the cake smash, delicately eating the polka dots off the icing one by one, until he realised there was cake underneath. Then a soak in the tub … three times, as he wasn’t keen on getting his clothes back on!

On a Black + White bender exploring the city yesterday. Makes you seek out contrast, texture, light and shadows and see Sydney stripped of its usual bright blue skies.

My 13 year old son had developed what had been affectionately known as a ‘dirty mo’. Time for an intervention and some life lessons from Dad.

Spotted these guys out for a morning walk along the edge of the lagoon. One looks a little keener then the other.

Over the years I’ve tried many different genres of photography …. landscape photography generally bores me to tears, street photography excites and terrifies me in equals measures, but after a session like today, I know my heart lies in family and children’s photography. Love working with families and capturing this fleeting moment in their life.

Go. Making the most of the school holidays, regardless of how cold the water is.
