Texture

I have several places on my website where I talk about what to wear during your photography session, and when you book a session with me you also get emailed information to help you with this. But I thought I might go into a little more detail here on texture and why I love it.

Feeling camera shy?

The most common statement I hear at the beginning of my booking process is “We don’t know what we are doing, we are going to be so awkward in front of the camera”. I had some headshots taken a few weeks back and it was a great refresher into exactly what that statement means and

COVID Collaboration

I have had conversations lately with so many of you that have touched me. I don’t want to share anyone’s personal story, but I want you to know, you are not alone. Every single person I have talked to has shocked me with a story of what they are dealing with. Our chats have been

Cosy winter sessions

Introducing the gentle grace of Orla. A small, warm soul who is so beautifully enveloped with love that she glows with golden light. This session made my heart dance, such pure connections to photograph between these three. Another reason I support the winter month sessions. The snuggles, the textures, the warmth.

Much like my Henry, she told (demanded) me where to sit, what to do, and very clearly explained when I got the game wrong. She laughed and played, filled the room with her giggles, screamed with frustration when the piece of the puzzle didn’t fit and hid in the cupboard when we wanted her in

Extended family photo sessions

I’m not going to lie to you. Extended family photo sessions used to freak me out. I was scarred from my wedding photography days when you would get the list of family photographs wanted after the ceremony. An important documentation of family history, yes! I agree! But to a photographer who has been given a

This winter light

It’s the quietest time of year for family portrait sessions, winter. A number of my clients want their portraits to be taken on one of those classic Australian hot, balmy long evenings. The reality is though that if there are young ones involved in your photo session then a later start can often be really

Family and friends

We journeyed home. Said a proper goodbye to Gran, saw the family, met some new babies, introduced Hen and hugged some dear friends for a little too long. Bliss. It’s certainly a different sort of holiday with a small one but I’m feeling surprisingly refreshed and happy to be home. I preach about existing in
