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…

Cutest Quartet

  One's company, two's a crowd, three's a party, and four is... ? Andy Warhol didn't get to that part! A fiesta?! a flock?! I love some alliteration. This little quartet of kiddos are so fun; we had such a good time frolicking…

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…

Autumn Minis 2022

(So now I'm a pro at culling images for blogs and only posting a handful! Who would've thought I could consistently show restraint, haha! Here we go again!) Autumn Minis are at Hyde Park due to the lovely light, variety of backdrops, and…

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…

Festive Sitter Sesh

  My ADORABLE nephew (zero bias here!)  is nearly 7 months old and it was time for some updated photos with his divine mama. If you're new to these 2, then check out her maternity and birth blog here, and newborn Parker deliciousness…

Mama means business

I'm happy to admit that branding imagery is not my forte, but I will always help a friend (or repeat client) with some businessy snaps, particularly in a lifestyle way. I love supporting women with their small businesses, and with both these…

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,…

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…

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…

Kawa Doubles

  It has been a super busy spring for me (thank you all!) and so I'm super behind on blogging... Actually what am I even talking about, I'm always behind on blogging! Moving right along. I did my first ever studio session back in June…

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…

Kawa Minis

At the end of June I did my very first ever studio day! Studio photography sounds very much like not my thing, and it's true but Kawa Heart in Palmyra is an old artists studio converted into an Air BnB and frequently used as a photography location.…

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…

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…

Perry's Paddock

.. Summer Sunset Special! My first special of this kind sold out super quick and went so well, thank you so much! I was thinking of repeating it in the April school holidays, what do you think? Perry's Paddock is on Ocean Reef Rd, Woodvale…

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…

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…

Why sunset?

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…

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…

Mrs Gardiner
