What to wear to your family photo shoot Whenever I book a family photo session, the first email I send out to my client is my “what to wear” guide. Having your family photographed is a long term investment of your memories, and the last thing you need is anything which takes away from the moments of family connection (such as loud clothing!). In my “what to wear” guide, I include some do’s and don’ts, as well as a link to my pinterest board for those who prefer a visual reference. I always check in with my clients in the lead up to their photo session to see how they’re going with their outf ..read more

Throwback to this gorgeous family who were the lucky winners of my Father’s Day Giveaway last year! We headed to this gorgeous Swan Valley location in Perth for their family photo shoot. One of the prizes (aside from a family photo shoot experience from me, plus a gorgeous wall art piece of their choice) was a gift certificate to BBQ School, so for a bit of fun, I asked all the entrants to share a funny cooking fail story so I could choose a worthy winner! Here’s a snippet of their entry, which helped them snag the major prize! “My husband set his back garden on fire when cooking a bbq before ..read more

When I arrived at the house to start with the preparations for Gabriella’s Perth Christening photos, this sweet little girl immediately put her arms up for a cuddle as soon as I said ‘hello’. My heart instantly melted She has the sweetest little face and most infectious smile! Her grandparents were her godparents, which I thought was extra special. I often photograph Christenings in Perth, and the majority of the time, parents request photos starting at the ceremony and following into the start of the reception. But if  I can offer you a word of expert advice…. please consider starting ..read more

Well, what can I say…. in a flash, 2022 has been and gone just as fast as previous years. . The saying “the days are long, but the years are short” couldn’t be more true. As a Perth family and wedding photographer, I was privileged to photograph so many love stories of all kinds. From proposals, to loved up couples, many epic weddings, some gorgeous baby bumps and newborns, christenings, as well as families of all kinds with little ones, to grown up kids with their own children. I feel as though I need to re-brand myself as a ‘love photographer’, because if you think about it, all of these pho ..read more

Let’s rewind to 2007 when Julie & Greg got married! They’ve been on quite an adventure, including living in London for several years, so when I heard from Julie a few months ago to say they were back in Perth and needed to update their family photos, I was beyond thrilled to reconnect with them and meet their boys after so long. Sometimes I have to pinch myself that my past wedding couples STILL remember me after so many years. What a privilege it is to be able to see them after their wedding day is long gone. We started off their family portrait shoot at home, so Julie & Greg’s famili ..read more

I had been looking forward to this wedding for sooooooo long! And now I can’t quite believe they’ve been married over 6 months already! Jayde used to do work experience with me about 10 years ago, and I’m pretty sure she decided back then, way before she met Cat, that I was going to shoot her wedding one day. Poor Cat didn’t get much of a say in it, but thankfully she liked me and my work just as much as I liked her   Their wedding day reminded me so much of my own due to the heightened emotions from morning to night.   Jayde & Cat had organised so many surprises for one anoth ..read more

  I only recently realised I blogged this beautiful couple’s wedding, but forgot all about how gorgeous their Fremantle engagement shoot was! So here it is to enjoy! We had a fab time catching up and chatting all about their upcoming wedding, and then I happened to run into some friends of mine with their new puppy, so we decided to include the little cutie into their photo shoot. It was the best and totally unexpected! I absolutely LOVE engagement shoots, as it gives couples another opportunity to celebrate their engagement period (just in case you needed more reason to celebrate!). We a ..read more
