We spent a great afternoon at Roma Street Parkland. Wandering through the manicured gardens and finding perfect little spaces to capture this family’s essence and to tell their story. It was the perfect location for a Roma Street Photo Session. It all started with an email enquiry for an Extended Family Session. The only difference this time was that the client lived in Belgium. She was coming to Brisbane with her husband and three children to visit her parents and her sister’s family. Fiona was keen to have a Zoom call to see if we might be the right fit for each other.

Anita called me towards the end of 2019 when her career had come to a crossroad. She was unsure what her next step was and as a way of preparing for 2020, she made the decision to have a Personal Branding Session to create fresh, current images that could be used for a range of purposes including LinkedIn and also her CV photo. We spoke at length about what message she wanted her Personal Branding images to portray and how important the photos were in expressing her beliefs and values. Top on the list was that the photos needed to show connection and a feeling of being personable. A wide r ..read more

I was thrilled when Miss Chloe visited me to have a first birthday photo session. I hadn’t seen her since I photographed her as a newborn and she had grown so much since then. To celebrate her first birthday we did an indoor classic portrait session and she was simply adorable with her strawberry blonde hair, piercing blue eyes and her darling smile showing off her adorable baby teeth. Having a first birthday photo session is a very special time in your child’s life. Your little one is no longer a baby. They’re discovering new and wonderful things and starting to learn to move around so much ..read more

Here are some of my favourite photos from this family’s session ..read more

A large extended family portrait was definitely on the list of ‘must have’ photos but there was so much more that came from this beautiful generational photo session. Grandparents with grandchildren, cousins with cousins, parents with their children, siblings together ..read more
