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…

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…

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…

How to make your photographer cry: what to wear

  I don't know why you would, but if you want to make your photographer cry, I can tell you how. It's a well kept secret. Or actually, maybe it isn't? I don't know. But if you want to reduce your light chaser to a sobbing mess, wear…

Homebirth midwifery - what does a homebirth prenatal appointment look like?

I have two bebes, now 4 and 7 years old, and I had two homebirths, both very different from each other. During my first pregnancy, I did not get any maternity photos, and the thought of birth photos made me laugh out loud hysterically. As.…
