Let’s be honest - life moves far too fast. One day, your kids need your hand to take their first steps, and the next, they’re off and running, leaving you wondering where the time went. It’s a little unfair how quickly time flies, isn’t it? And if you’re anything like most busy parents, family portraits tend to fall to the bottom of the never-ending to-do list. But here’s the thing: keeping your family portraits up-to-date isn’t just about getting a cute picture for the wall (although that’s a definite bonus); it’s about preserving the To View More >>

As a professional portrait photographer, I have the pleasure of capturing some of the most beautiful and fleeting moments of life. One thing I have observed over the years that I’ve been a professional photographer is the curiosity of children; their wide-eyed wonder at the world around them is simply magical. It’s one of the reasons I love working with families. With summer around the corner, I thought I would share some ideas for creative, family-friendly photography-themed activities to entertain your little ones, help them nurture their creative flair and perhaps, even spark an To View More >>

OMG! I am soooo super excited right now! Look what just arrived in the post today... These are the latest additions to my client closet - a specially curated set of dresses for mums and mums-to-be for their family portraits. These beautiful dresses have come all the way from the US and they are truly gorgeous. But hang on a minute... ...this is just one dress! What a piece of design genius - we can style it in so many different ways so it can be fitted to perfectly suit you. Love your new post-partum boobs? A nice deep v-neck crossover will show off that amazing cleavage. Or perhaps you are a little To View More >>

I photographed this little one's older sister when she was born and so I was absolutely delighted when I heard mum was expecting again! It was a shame big sis had to go to school, but am excited to get some new family portraits soon! To View More >>

"Time flies so fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while you might miss it" - A quote from my favourite film, Ferris Bueller's Day Off.  It is so apt, and so I love when families return to update their portraits as the children grow and change - this was the third portrait session with this gorgeous family and I was so excited to see how the babies have grown up into such beautiful little girls! And this time they brought someone extra special with them - nana! To View More >>

Although older people and those with pre-existing medical conditions (such as diabetes, asthma and heart disease) are more vulnerable to becoming severely ill with COVID-19, the virus can infect people of all ages.  Newborns and pregnant women are always considered at risk and therefore we must collectively protect each other. I want to re-assure all of my clients that I follow good hygiene practice at all times to keep you and your babies safe, but at this time, I would like to take a moment to re-iterate the most important points and a couple of extra measures that I have put in place for To View More >>

Amie popped in for her first milestone session before Christmas at the age of just 4 months. It's really amazing to see what a difference a few months makes - no longer a newborn, she was much more interactive and playful.  How quickly babies grow, which is why our milestone sessions are so perfect to capture the changes in your baby through her first year. Don't forget to book your session today.  To View More >>

As you know, safety is at the heart of everything I do in my business, and especially when photographing young children and babies; I’ve posted a number of times about safe handling and photographic techniques I use for newborn photoshoots. This month, I decided to take things a step further and update my first aid knowledge, so I attended a Mini First Aid class. These classes are designed with new parents and grandparents in mind and are focussed on first aid techniques for children – which are often a bit different to the way you would treat an adult. Specifically, the class covered To View More >>

Introducing the beautiful little Thomas... Newborn photosessions are truly my favourite and what a privilege to be allowed to photograph someone's precious new arrival - often I get to meet these little babies before they've even met some of their closest family! As you can see, little Thomas was absolutely adorable and a pleasure to photograph - and oh those cheeks! ;-) To View More >>
