Grabbing one of the last photos of the session and I think the children’s grandfather was behind me, holding their attention with outlandish stories. I just love their reactions.

I came across this photo I had taken of my son Gabe. He is reluctant to appear in front of my camera so I often get him to ‘just step in to test my lighting setup’. He is now an adult and I’m still getting my head around that.

He is courageous, engaged in the world, a crazy science nerd, invested in the future and loves us. He also calls me out on what matters and makes me a better person.

I love that this photo messes with your head a little in terms of perspective and scale. How seriously huge are these cruise ships that come into the harbour?

A gorgeous day to have family and friends get together from around the world to celebrate an important milestone. And doesn’t the harbour look just spectacular from the Manly Skiff Club?

I was photographing an event yesterday and suddenly the tables were turned. The enthusiastic 5 year old Finn was trying to beat me at my own game.

Just wanted to share some photos from an afternoon shoot down at the beach with these gorgeous cousins. These sessions are a great way of updating your photos with a mix of portraits and candid images.

Lovely to go adventuring with you today.

Such a privilege to be invited into a family home as they settle in with their new baby. A place where time is absorbed and lost around this tiny new addition. And watching a newly minted big brother coming to terms with his new responsibilities.

The sun is out, the water is warm and the holidays are just about to start. It’s a winning combination. Enjoy

I’d love to get your family outdoors on our beautiful Northern Beaches. Find some gorgeous light and capture the connection between your family. All bookings made in April (for family sessions held before November) also receive a gorgeous keepsake gift.
