While I’m dreaming of the day I can get back to documenting your cute lil crew in your own home (man I hope it’s soooooon!), I’ve also been busy thinking about some of the lovely little things you can actually *do* during your family session. Some of my couples and families feel a little shy behind the lens, and I find it really helps to have a few simple activities planned to get you all warmed up while we catch some really sweet (and natural!) family moments. Tiffany, Andrew and little Ardy here were the total poster fam for family activities.  Together, we read a book, played on ..read more

 I don’t know about you guys, but I could really do with some distraction right now. So I’m really happy to share this picture perfect session with Elizabeth and her tribe - Jono, Jamie, Mila and Tatum. I always chat to my families about ways they can dress for a shoot, but these guys took it to a whole new level (if you haven’t read my top tips for dressing for a family session, you can check them out here). Dressing in similar tones and fabrics never fails, and when you tie them in to the landscape too? A dreamy snapshot of your family love story that you can cherish forever. We’ll remembe ..read more

 This heavenly session still has me lost for words, and you better believe I’m excited to be sharing more of it with you here! You guys went mad for this session when I showed a little glimpse of it a few months ago, and it’s not hard to see why. Honestly, it was a total dream - I could shoot this family over and over again and I would never ever tire. Terri and Steve are so *so* in love and the girls were complete darlings and a total joy to photograph. It’s almost like the wildflowers came out to bloom just for them. I’ll be opening up just a handful of wildflower sessions later in the year ..read more

 If you’ve been following me for a little while now, you’ll know I just adore making magic with families down by the sea. This little spot here (where I danced and played with Martina, Mitesh and Xavier) is one of my FAVOURITE locations right now - a coastal haven in Flinders where the meadows meet the ocean. It’s just totally gorgeous at this time of year, and absolutely worth the drive. And since some of my lovely families even decide to make a weekend of it and book a local hotel or Airbnb, I thought I’d let you know some of my absolute *fave* things for families to do/see/eat while vis ..read more

 One of the questions I get asked *all the time* when my gorgeous clients book in a session with me, is “what on earth do I wear?!” I love helping my couples and families with dressing for a shoot, especially when it comes to a newborn or maternity session when the body confidence might not be quite what it used to be, or the clothes you love just aren’t fitting like they used to. It’s something we’ll chat about in length before the big day comes (you can even send me outfit pics if you like!) and I always love for my clients to feel prepared, relaxed and most importantly, themselves. With s ..read more

 If I’ve learnt anything from the harrowing start we’ve had to 2020, it’s the true value of a memory. Those deeply precious moments preserved and guarded fiercely by our hearts. If we ever needed a reminder that these love filled days with our little ones are as indescribably wonderful as they are irreplaceable, this is it. Amy and her gorgeous baby girl Eva need no reminder though, because this is already the third time I’ve photographed this beautiful duo - once when Eva was still in her mummy’s tummy, twice when she was just a few days old, and again here, at 14 months, during an extra spe ..read more

 Oh 2019, what a wonderful, wonderful year you were. Last year I took the opportunity to farewell 2018 with a gratitude post, and as 2019 draws to a close I thought I’d do the same again, 1. because #holidaybrain and I’m completely stuck for new ideas (tell me I’m not alone!), and 2. because what could be better than looking back and being grateful for all of the good things in life (and even some of the not so good ones)? This whole gratitude leading to joy thing can be a tricky one, especially during those really, really hard times (of which 2019 had its fair share). But the more I practic ..read more

 There really is nothing quite like the joy of meeting a precious new little human. All those months of baking that babe - hoping, wishing, and wondering - to finally meet someone you’ve actually known all along, and without whom you’ll never be able to imagine your life again. It’s the closest thing to real life magic I think, and just another one of the many reasons I LOVE my newborn sessions, ESPECIALLY this gorgeous one with baby Madeleine and her wonderfully kind and talented parents Matt and Jo. They live a slow and quiet life by the coast in Ocean Grove (yes, I travel to this side of ..read more

 Do you recognise these gorgeous faces? It’s the beautiful Considine family, who you might remember from their stunning Flinders session last summer. They travel up to Byron Bay a couple of times a year to chase the sun, so as soon as they heard I’d be up there too, we all just knew we had to do another magical session with the whole family. Now you all know how much I *love* to travel (it’s my second favourite thing to do after taking gorgeous photos!), so if you’re planning a little trip with your tribe, please invite me!! I’ll honestly travel ANYWHERE, and the joy of joining you and your s ..read more

 You know me, I’m a big advocate for making sure your home is as *you* as possible when you have an in-home family or newborn session. I don’t want you to stress about picking up toys or hiding dirty socks or washing the floors (ain’t nobody got time for that!). But I also know that most of you will probably worry about all of these things anyway (am I right?!), so I thought I’d share some of the *simplest* ways you can make your home look photo ready without breaking a sweat or hiring a cleaner. INDOOR PLANTS Green makes everything glorious! And this newborn session with Janice, Rob and bab ..read more
