Welcoming Henry

Just me again, waxing lyrical about repeat clients, welcoming new babes, and the honour of capturing it all for them! This beautiful fam have had photos with me a few times before we did a Maternity Mini at Hyde Park followed by a Maxi sesh at home in the hills  to capture Henry. So special, […]

Welcoming Ellery

Another beautiful repeat client, welcoming another divine bebe into their family. Blessed times 3 with gorgeous girls! As years go by I’ve done a few shoots for this fam who were recommended by another client, several of their friends and family, and then more recommendations come, and so on. It’s hard to explain how important […]

Summer in the Glen

  Happy first day of autumn to us all! I love how this year summer literally just quit and it actually rained today, lol! Anyway, I call this special top secret location in Wembley Downs the Fairy Glen sometimes, because it used to be quite the random field of wildflowers (and pretty weeds, haha) in […]

November Pines Minis

  The Pine forest on Wanneroo Road in Tapping is a super popular spot with photographers because of its international, timeless look and stunning sunset light. I did a bunch of Minis here in November, some with a Christmassy feel, and some without. We had a great time collecting pine cones and dodging pot holes […]

Welcoming Lyra

  This delicious little fam! With the most gorgeous doggo too! He’s a real mama’s boy, and so there are few special captures of their adorable connection. Lyra is a super chill, super smiley angel baby so we did a slow and snuggly Maxi sesh on a chilly spring day at their home near South […]

Spring Minis 2021

  Spring Minis at my super secret Wembley Downs location were fabulous again this year. Such a fun location with tonnes for the kids to do, and really consistent, reliable light. It’s a tiny spot so if other photogs used it too, we’d be in each others way, unlike at Perry’s Paddock or the Pines […]

Welcoming Declan

  Delicious Declan is 6 weeks new and his divine family were so welcoming and so open in sharing their space near Fremantle with me. I don’t want to muddy this beautiful experience up with too many of my silly words, because their images speak volumes to their playfulness and love. This is their feedback: […]

Welcoming Ryan

Look out, cos I’m about to say it again… but I LOVE my repeat clients! I’ve been capturing this family for years! We had a great time in June and July doing some maternity shots at Perry’s Paddock, Woodvale, and then a home session once baby Ryan had arrived! The cutest big bro and sweetest […]

6 tips for an excellent photo shoot with kids

Before we get started, this is a real family (my besties; they’re not models! But they have done a few shoots with me which defo helps), and this session is at Parker and Stone studio in Osborne Park. And that couch requires a special mention, does it not?! If you’re into this mix of luxe […]

Mama Mel

Please, don’t judge this blog post title. As mentioned in previous blogs, I am so far behind and this is as good as it gets right now, folks. I am defo not a writer lolz. ANYWAY. This year I met lovely Mel who has the pelvic floor we all wish for  and her gorgeous family, […]

Trio of Mini’s

So, real talk, I’m so behind on blogs and sharing work from this year, that it’s at that point of overwhelm where I don’t even know where to start now. I’m about to have a month off, so I’m really trying to cram things in. My holidays start May 22 and I’m back in the […]

Welcoming Parker

Before I say anything at all, if you’re not all caught up on this post here, then go check that out first for aaaalllll the context! So at 5 days old we did newborn photos for Baby Parker, my newest favourite bebe ever! My nephew was born in the water at home on March 10, […]

Lisa’s Bump and Birth

CONTENT NOTE: birth discussion and imagery, homebirth, hospital transfer Soooo apparently I haven’t blogged this year at all…. so welcome to my first blog of 2021… in late April, haha! It has been a really busy start to the year with babies including a suuuper special one! My cousin Lisa started growing a much-wanted bebe […]

Bebe Blue Eyes

  I am so lucky to have the support of the most gorgeous group of Irish friends! They come for Minis, have me to their houses and buy each other vouchers when they have babies. It’s such an honour and a privilege to be asked back time and time again to capture for them all! […]

Golden Grass

  Sometimes we get lucky at Perry’s Paddock, Woodvale, and the grass hasn’t been cut! The following weekend it was all mowed, which is a tragedy obviously. But for Denise’s session with her adorable 7 year old twins  (yes, twins! What is it about twins?!) we had the gorgeous long grass which is a dream! […]

Besties

If someone could explain to my kids that when their best friends families come for photo shoots, my kids don’t get to be in them that’d be great… because during my recent Spring Special, my kiddos were annoyed they couldn’t attend their best friends sessions, haha! *eyeroll* My 10yo son JJ has been besties with […]

Welcoming Finn

. Another pandemic mama! Beautiful Brooke and big bro Levi had a quick maternity Mini sesh at the end of February and we had a newborn session at home booked for end of March but the world had other plans! We finally managed to do their Maxi session a few weeks ago. Levi is so […]

Ray of Sunshine

.. Well, what a time in history. My birthday, only 6 weeks ago, feels like 6 years so much has happened in the world! I hope you’re all well. We are doing ok here. My very last session before closing due to COVID-19 was one of my most special. This mama is one of my […]

Welcoming Hazel

Sunset sessions at my top secret Wembley Downs spot are magic late August through early October; they’re a big deal around these parts, and it’s my busiest time of year. I rarely blog during this season but I’ve had a quiet week this week so I’m pleased to be catching up on a few blogs, […]

Precious Gold

  “Ô, Sunlight! The most precious gold to be found on Earth.” ― Roman Payne   Repeat clients, though. How good are they?! How wonderful is capturing a family time after time and seeing them grow and having mama-to-mama chats?! I just can’t even with how much I love it. These days I do one thing […]

Goodbye Neighbourhood

There goes the neighbourhood!  Moving house is an exciting, stressful, fun, awful time. Add a toddler and you have PTSD-inducing chaos at times! Haha, just kidding. I love the fresh start moving house brings (once the actual moving part is over *shudder*) and goodbye neighborhood sessions are lovely! Check out Tenille’s goodbye to their gorgeous old […]

Come Fly With Me

Strap in cos this is pretty different, haha! This is not your typical photo shoot location, and it definitely won’t appeal to everyone. My bestie brought my kids and I to the public viewing area at Terminal 1 at the Perth Airport a couple of years ago, and it’s a cool place to hang out.  […]

Bump to Bath

I love love love when families book me for maternity AND then newborn sessions. I love to see Mama’s blooming beauty in late pregnancy, and then there is nothing more delicious than newborn toes! In March and April, I was honoured to meet Karen and her family to document her beautiful baby bump in my favourite […]

365 delicious days

Sooooo it’s been a minute since I blogged… 2 months worth in fact. I’m usually a fairly prolific blogger but we had a super busy term 4 with my kids doing ALL the classes and then the usual hectic festive season so now that I’m on top of December editing, I’m finally making time to […]

Why sunset?

  “Sunsets are proof that no matter what happens, every day can end beautifully.” – Kristen Butler   Sunset rules. That’s the short version, haha! But I can hear the groans of the toddler mamas from here. And listen, I was once you. One of my kids in particular is still not an evening person […]

Where do you print your photos?

  Almost every single full session client asks me about photo printing. And it is a BIG subject. I definitely will not be addressing every aspect and I’m actually not a print expert anyway, so I’d never dare but I do have a couple things to say. Firstly, not printing your professional photos is criminal! […]

What’s the best age for photos?

Photographers get asked this aaaallllll the time! Every photog will have a different answer for you, but I do have an opinion to share. Firstly, you should obviously have photos whenever you want, and I have a client who has done 5 different sessions with me in 18 months, to capture different stages with different […]

I’m back! Mostly.

  Well, hi there! Long time, no see! I’m back, mostly. If you had no idea I wasn’t around then you can totally stop reading now and just get on with your life 😉 However if you had noticed I was absent, my apologies. My 7yo was having hard time end of last year, we […]

Welcoming Emily

  If you haven’t met Rachel and her family, where have you beeeeen?! We’ve followed their pregnancy and birth and now, in the final instalment of this story, a family and bath session to welcome Emily. If you need to catch up, I’ve captured and blogged their 20 week homebirth midwifery appointment here, and then Rachel’s mother […]

Birthing Emily

It’s such an honour and a privilege to be friends with amazing women like Rachel, be invited to capture her homebirth, and then, when you ask if you can capture the whole pregnancy and story, be granted full access and permissions. What. A. Dream. Little Pink Baby – named by big brother Henry who did […]

Blessing Rachel

A Blessingway is a beautiful traditional Native American ceremony conducted at the end of a woman’s pregnancy to pass on wisdom and prepare her for birth. Mother or Birth Blessings are mother-centred baby shower events inspired by this idea. As opposed to gifts for the baby, women may bring tokens for the mother’s birth space, […]
