The gorgeous baby Chloe at just 10 days old. Eyes wide open and keen to not miss anything during her shoot. So much gentle love surrounding her.

Excited to share some images from my family session on the weekend. Three gorgeous young brothers kept us on our toes as they explored the harbour foreshore.

My youngest son is now over 6ft 1 so whenever I want to take his photo, I’ve got to get him to crouch down. He is passionate about his role in the army cadets and is off for another weekend sleeping in a paddock, eating ration packs and having great adventures.

Window shopping when I was in Paris … but I wasn’t in the market for life buoys on the day.

Like a moth to a flame, I’ve always been drawn to the high gloss and shiny chrome of vintage cars.

Can’t believe it has been a year since I photographed Kady + Kye’s wedding in Mudgee. Such a beautiful and relaxed day, with a whole lot of love and laughter going around. Congratulations on your anniversary X

Over the last few years I’ve been so honoured to work with a little local school that punches way above its weight. The combination of really passionate staff and an involved parent body has led to some incredible opportunities for these children. It was fun to capture all the chaos and laughs from their Colour Run today.

I just love keeping my newborn sessions pure and simple.

There are so many props and outfits available to buy, complex wrapping techniques and poses to learn … but I’ve found my style. Keep a neutral colour palette, be guided by the baby and just focus on capturing them as they are.

I was delighted to have the adorable 10 day old Chloe come in for a newborn session today. She was very interested to see what was happening and didn’t want to sleep in case she missed something important. A quick catnap in Dad’s arms to get her through. 

In the last year I’ve had the pleasure of capturing the relationships between so many wonderful fathers and their children. From an incredible 2am water birth, to newborns and teenagers, christenings, extended family shoots with three generations together, to a 95th birthday for a much loved great-grandfather, and the emotion of being the father of the bride. It’s been a delight and a privilege. Much love and strength also to all the fathers I’ve photographed as part of my work with Heartfelt X

I’m always drawn to the ocean pools. Even if it means laying on the wet edge, with water lapping over, slowly inching closer on my stomach to get a photo of a bird. Back to the car with soaking wet clothes on a 12 degree day. Bring on Summer.

My absolute most favourite time of the day to shoot is the last hour before sunset. The light is soft and beautiful, casting a golden glow over everything. Magical. For those of you that have had a shoot with me at that time, you’ll know that I might say we are finished, only to keep turning around and saying “oh, just one more shot” until the last of the sun disappears.

Happy to see my image get an honourable mention in the Pretty Presets competition with the theme ‘Golden Hour’.
