Maylands Minis

In January, I did a bunch of Splash Minis at the river in Maylands! I was lucky enough to capture some special families I wrote a little about here in this post. Families that are by choice not by blood are the most special of all. It's…

Welcoming Lucy

  Ohhhh, newborns *heart eyes*. I love you so! My absolute favourite thing to do is in-home newborn sessions. This sweet little trio, plus 2 fur babies, live right near me in Innaloo and are doing so amazing. Miss L is just 10 days young…

Welcoming Sophia

  Ok, so honestly, the alternate title to this blog is: Toaster. Toaster the border collie cross poodle who can be a bit challenging was an angel after a long walk with Grandma, and ended up being the star of show, haha! These beautiful…

It really can be all fun and games!

  The one thing I hear the most from mamas (ok it's sort of 2 things) is "My kids won't behave, we just can't do a photo session!" this is often quickly followed up with concerns about their babydaddy / manchild as well! I've spoken…

Beach Babe

  Ah, the beach. My fave place to hang out in summer with my kiddos, and my absolute nemesis professionally!   I had a few bad experiences at the beach when I first started this iteration of my photography career in 2015.…

Spring Minis 2022

  My beautiful, top secret, spring location at Wembley Downs did not let me down this year once again. It changes a little every year and I am aware that at some point I will lose this spot because they are already talking about putting…

Sunset Splash

  Hello, good morning, and welcome to 2023! It will be... probably very similar to 2022... haha! If you're after inspirational words I am *not* your girl. I am not good at the words, just the pretty pictures, hopefully! I'm thrilled…

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…

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…

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…

Welcoming Eli

It's baby season! Verrryyy exciting for all these new (or new again) Mamas... and me, haha! I love babies so much. Gorgeous Ally came out to Kawa Heart in July for a maternity mini and and then invited me to their home for a Maxi sesh with…

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…

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…

The one photo every mother needs...

I'm really passionate about authentic moment capturing, and motherhood, amongst other things. As mums we tend to take most of the photos and not be in them enough, so please, mama, go take a selfie with your babes today! And get someone to…

When Toddlers Quit

I've worked with kids for a long time, since I was a teenager, throughout my Early Childhood degree then 14 years of childcare, nannying and teaching. I've photographed them that long, too, and I love them. So. Much. They're funny, wise,…
