Holly & Cullen - {newborn and portrait photography}

The session was booked originally for 11 day old Holly, but I couldn't resist capturing, or should I say attempting to capture her older brother Cullen into the mix. At 21 months he was so full of energy and wanted to prove his agility rather than his patience with a 'nutty' (debatable !!!) photographer holding up a big black camera in his face. He was so cute and cheeky I couldn't help but laugh. On the other hand Holly was simply an 'angel', adorably placid and slept practically all the way through, ... chalk and cheese
Thank you Therese and Ivan for sharing your gorgeous family with me, I loved every minute :)

Dan & Nadine  - {Wedding Photography}

We were soooooo lucky with the weather a couple of weeks back. 
It must have been the worst weather ever at Byron Bay the day before this wedding, and it was making us all a little "oh dear" !!!!. :$......
But hey,....
We woke up bright and early on the Friday to glorious sunshine, to photograph the glorious wedding of Dan and Nadine.
Helping out a great friend Amanda Crocetti, photographing a fantastic family and a beautiful service at Fig Tree Gardens, Byron Bay was just so much fun, and laughter all day, it didn't feel like work.
Heres just a few frames from their wonderful day

Designer wedding dresses in gale force winds and the midday sun, where not even a speedlight or a reflector blowing in the wind !!! could rid the facial shadows .... ummm, that was a challenge lol. But hey isn't that what life's about ? testing and pushing your boundaries.

Directed by: Natasha Pascoa and Lizzy Malone, these gorgeous dresses, made by Hilde Heim were beautifully modelled by Chareese Barta and Belinda Wright who battled the elements admirably to bring in some great images.

Elissa  -  (Brisbane portrait photographer)

With only a couple of weeks to go before Elissa's first bundle of joy is in arms, she felt she really should capture the occasion before it was too late.
So we spent a glorious afternoon at Southport, Gold Coast,  with wonderful lighting and a stunning sunset, having fun and capturing this moment in time :).

A precious little girl has been born, since this session.

'Like mother, Like Daughter'

I  had a wonderful late afternoon session with a gorgeous mother and daughter duo last week on  Suttons Beach. It was a glorious day, if a little windy ... but at least it wasn't the forecasted rain.

Violet has her mums laid back personality, kind nature and her beautiful eyes.  Lucky me to have such a great duo to spend the afternoon with :)
