Lovely to catch up with my girlfriend Wendy yesterday. In her element looking after her horses. I had to laugh when she said “I was impressed that you didn’t flinch at a 600kg horse galloping to you”. I know so little about horses, I didn’t even know I should be scared in that situation!
My niece is a ballerina and spends much of her time with her hair strictly under control … combed, pinned, sprayed and set tightly in place. Lovely to see her gorgeous locks out enjoying some freedom.
I was privileged to meet and photograph Lorna last year when she was a sprightly 105 years old. Saddened to hear of her passing yesterday. But what an incredible age to reach.
I am lucky to be able to photograph so many beautiful mums as part of my job. When I think of my own journey of motherhood, this remains one of my favourite images. Taken shortly before becoming a mum for the second time.
I took this photo at the Australian Open of Surfing at Manly Beach and always loved the clean lines of the image and the sharp shadows of the onlookers. It was just selected as a finalist in the Camera House competition with the theme SHADOWS. Cool.
The gorgeous duo Alice + Juliette took some time out from their cake smash session to model some new outfits. These were made by Louise through her children’s clothes business, Gertie and Rose. She is custom making a selection of outfits that will be available for children to wear for my photography sessions.

Visited the photography festival today for a workshop and a stroll around the exhibits. From jaw-dropping sports photography to naked grey nomads …. and everything in-between. The Paddington reservoir proved a great subterranean venue.
Like a moth to a flame, I’m always drawn to the glossy paint, and chrome work on vintage cars.
In the middle of a crazy, noisy birthday party, caught two sisters enjoying a moment of calm. Happy Birthday Abbie!
Have you signed up yet? A variety of different races on Manly Beach, from a 1.6km school team challenge to a gruelling half marathon, all run completely on sand. Monday 12 June (long weekend).
I’m so lucky to have lots of gorgeous young neighbours who will stop in for a quick chat on their way past. I get a little window into their day, hear outrageous tales, get big hugs and often a song. Priceless.
