Ella, Finn and Evie showing some sibling love.

Delighted to see a little Christmas star under my tree. Brightens my day.

I love it when an extended family makes the time to all get together for some photos. Geoff and Kerry are understandably proud of having such a gorgeous family around them and celebrating 44 years of being married.

What a difference a year makes! Last time Evie was here she was only 4 months old and we could place her exactly where we wanted her for photos. This time she had her own, definite plans on where and how she would be photographed.

Thanks for coming back to visit and bringing your magical smile and very new baby brother.

I just love shooting family sessions, and especially the craziness of getting the extended family together. These young cousins had so much energy, so we harnessed it for lots of awesome jump shots.

We had an early morning mid-week shoot down at the beach and it was great to have such wonderful light and the beach pretty much to ourselves. I loved capturing Charlie and Abby at this beautiful age, making memories of their time living in Australia.

This is Johny’s third time coming for his Christmas photos with me and I was delighted he could show the ropes to his gorgeous younger sister Audrey.

I love photographing families each year and seeing how the children have grown and their personalities have emerged. I photographed Alexia at her christening early last year and one of her photos still makes me smile. Glad to see she still has her “everybody stop fussing over me” attitude.

Max out with his army cadet unit today, taking part in activities to remember the lives lost during war.

Remember that feeling of freedom and exhilaration as you were thrown in the air by your dad? Loved watching Abby get a big dose of it.

A favourite part of photographing the Christmas mini-sessions is explaining ‘snow angels’ to young children that have never seen snow.
