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…

Finn's First Steps!

There's a beautiful group of Irish friends in Perth who I've had the honour of capturing for maternity minis, newborn home sessions, park catchups with grandparents, and more. It's such a compliment to be recommended to others, and for a…

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…

Fran's Fam

I honestly don't have words for the amount of repeat client work I've had in the last couple of months. I genuinely feel very lucky to be booked again by families as it really is the highest compliment you can pay any business but especially…

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…

Kristin's Mamas

I got a thing for motherhood.  Probably lucky since I homeschool my kids and am with them 95% of the time they're awake ;) (and half the time when they're asleep too, haha!). Motherhood is special, and women are amazing, but often because…

My Recent Faves

Sooooo once again, it's been a minute since I've blogged! Blogging takes a surprising amount of time, but I also love sharing multiple shots from a session in an easy, scrollable way... so here are a few of my faves from recent sessions…

Hester Fam

  The divine Hester fam, one of the most heart centred families I've ever had the honour of capturing. Filled with love for themselves and each other, and nature around them. Between divine snuggles, breastfeeds, smooches, log walking,…

Best Ginger Fam

    I say it allllll the time: repeat clients are such a blessing! Not only did they love your work the first time but they loved it enough not to go elsewhere the next time! And there are plenty of great photogs around!…

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…

Almost One

  This little love was about to turn 1 and her mama wanted to capture her babyness before she got toddlery! So important! We hung out at John Oldham Park in Perth city and her grandparents were also invited to join us for the end…
,

Perfect Park Midi

This divine family reminded me why I love capturing families, why I specialise in capturing families and don't do anything else now. I'm pleased to specialise; I actively want to be known for one thing. I don't really believe that you can…
,

Bump to Baby

  This beautiful fam would like to remain anonymous but said I could share, so kind of them! They booked a double Midi session for family-centered maternity photos at the gorgeous pines in Tapping, and then a newborn home session…
,

McCracken Fam

  Beautiful Tori brought this little NoName guy over to my place in Stirling (near Ikea!) at 6 days old for a Midi session. YOUR house?!,  I hear you cry! Yeah. It sounds weird but if you don't have an adult sized bath and you want…

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…

Ethan

  So, Karen and Ben are actually THE cutest newborn parents I've met. A quiet Sunday morning session at their home near Stirling; have I mentioned home sessions are my favourite thing?! Anyway, Karen and Ben. So overtired, so sweet,…

What's in a mini?

  Fifteen minutes is not a very long time. Although, if you're waiting in a line, for something really good (like cake) then 15 minutes is an age, haha! Aaaaanyway, how well do minis work? I have heard a few times recently from clients…
, ,

Strumble Fam

  It's noooo secret that home sessions are my favourite things. It's just always an honour to be invited into people's homes. Lovely Carol and Francis live in a gorgeous old place near Maylands with their bebes Jack and Hannah,…

Brandy

This divine creature, Brandy, is a repeat client and she always seems to get magical light?! You can see her previous Mommy and Me session from last year here on the blog. Such. A. Goddess. On Friday July 27th, she messaged me at 40 weeks…
, ,

Double Mini

  Soooometimes, things just do not go to plan. And by things, I mean overtired four year olds, lol. Poor little Oli had a super late night the night before and really did not care about the STUNNINGLY PERFECT sunset light we were experiencing…
, ,

McCarney Fam

*** Before we get into the real stuff, I just need to say how freaking HAPPY I am to be here and blogging because my website has been in various states of broken for 2 months, and we've been tearing our hair out (and so have the developers we've…
, ,

Strand Fam

  Being invited back is the highest compliment you can pay a photographer. It says, "Not only did we love our photos, we loved them enough to not go anywhere else when we needed an update." What an honour and a privilege!! I captured…
,

Postpartum Pamper

  The post partum period is a special, special time. Mothers are made as babies are born, and it doesn't really matter how many you have, it's still special! Herbal baths honour this changing relationship between mother and babe continuing…
, , ,

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…
, ,

Henderson Fam

  Sometimes, sh*t happens, right?! It really just does and that's ok. But sometimes it happens over and over again in one situation and I just think 'whyyyyyyy'. This is what happened with Camille and I trying to make this session…
, ,

4th times a charm...

  I've said it before, and I'll say it again, repeat clients are SUCH A BLESSING! Anne and her little family were one of my first mini session clients when I launched them a couple of years ago now. Since then they've had TWO more…
, , , ,

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…

A Worthy Mini

  Deb Worthy first contacted me to organise a mini SIX months ago. We were all set for the pines in November but then illness struck and they didn't make it. Their second booking was cancelled by me while I briefly lost my mind as we…

Lupicas take 2!

  Referrals are so special to me. It's so nice that someone liked you and your work so much to recommend you, so thank you so much! I captured one Lupica fam, and soon enough another called me over to do a Wild+Free session for them.…

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…

Mrs Gardiner

  This ginger goddess is one of my oldest and closest friends, my little (non biological) sissy, and a photographer, too. We grew up and into our photography together, taking very different routes. Under her Gluten Free Scallywag moniker,…

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…

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.…
