I love photographing women at all stages of their lives, and documenting their journey, their beauty and their strength. So I was delighted to be invited back again by Colleen’s family as they celebrated her 80th birthday today.

Approached his Cake Smash today with great enthusiasm and gusto. Then at the end I was very impressed with his self restraint when he knew it was time to stop and walk away from eating more cake. Teach me your ways Johnny .

Congratulations on your engagement. It was a fun night capturing the celebrations with your family and friends last night.

I’m such a huge advocate for getting mothers in front of the camera and having photos with their children. I just love going through my own childhood albums and getting a wonderful sense of belonging in seeing my mother at all the different stages in her own motherhood journey .

Surrounded by a whole lot of love during our afternoon shoot down at the beach

Taking the initiative and getting some behind the scenes shots while we tested out the set yesterday for my Mother’s Day mini-sessions.

Bringing their best smiles, and best gappy smiles

Lovely to spend an afternoon in the sunshine with you, celebrating your engagement .

I have been so fortunate to have Vera as my neighbour, and over the last 9 years we’ve had such fun collaborating on shoots. And at 93, she is still completely rocking her job as my in-house bikini model. She keeps fit by walking laps around her house and I know not to interrupt her because she is counting the laps and trying to improve on her speed. She even has a bag still packed with her cossie, goggles and her body surfing hand plane. Life goals
