Newborn shoot – Baby Z

You might remember Alana from this intimate black and white maternity session I photographed earlier in the year - well, her baby is here, and he is GORGEOUS. While not technically a newborn shoot, since baby Z was three months old at the time of shooting, this was his first foray in front of the professional lens, and as you can see, he ain't bad. Taken at their Oatley home, Alana and her partner wanted black and white images that captured their baby's little details and their natural interactions as a family. Their style is quite unique, but luckily it

Maternity shoot – Bridget on the farm

Bridget lives out near Scone, NSW, on a property with her family two dogs, two kittens, and three horses. Shooting out in the stormy country was a real pleasure, as was watching Bridget's bond with her animals. I think the picture of her kissing her favourite horse is one of my favourite maternity shots, ever. Country living. I'd like to get me some of that.

Event shoot – Greek Orthodox Christening

I wanted to share just a few (of the many hundreds!) of the photographs I took for a client at the christening of their twin babies. Remember these beautiful twins? Their lovely mother Georgie commissioned me to shoot their first big life event at the Greek Orthodox church in Belmore, Sydney. It was a beautiful day, followed by a raucous evening - these people sure know how to party! The Belmore church is awe-inspiring, and taking documentary photos there was a joy. It's so nice to think that these girls will have photographs to look back on when they are

Event shoot – the birth of Rosalind

As a passionate documentary photographer, one of my goals for 2013 was to photograph a birth. I had the exciting opportunity to do so when Isabel requested my presence at the birth of her first daughter. Unfortunately, it just wasn't to be - Rosalind was unexpectedly born in the early morning after a very surprising three hour labour. So my first glimpse of this new baby and her wonderful parents was a few hours later, when visiting hours began, during which I took these intimate images of Rosalind's first day of life. It was a moving experience, actually - observing

Maternity shoot – Alanna

Alanna called me with a different vision in mind for her maternity portraits - something a bit alternative, a bit raw, a bit rock'n'roll. Shooting exclusively in black and white in her retro South Sydney home, I tried to capture the distinct vibrancy, confidence, and cool beauty of Alanna's quirky style. It was a fun, thoughtful session, and upon leaving I was filled with a sense of happiness and elation, knowing instinctively that we had got some beautiful, representative shots. My favourite shots are the darkest ones, in the intimate setting of the bedroom, in which her seriousness and  introspection

Family shoot – Mel and her boys

I did a session with one of my favourite ladies, Mel, and her sons in their Blue Mountains home a few months ago, and was asked back to do a full family shoot before Christmas. These lovely people have since decided to do a shoot with me every year, in lieu of Christmas presents to each other - how cool is that? These guys are about as laid back as they come, and not ones to pose and smile, so I photographed them in their house for a little while, capturing the small moments of them just doing their own

Maternity shoot – Cee, take one

And now, for something a little different. Pregnancy, fabulous rockabilly style. There isn't anything more kickass than a woman getting it done. This lady is so crafty, she makes people. These photos were taken in Cee's home, with only natural light - no studio or lights required. I loved doing something different, something with a bit of attitude, a bit rock and roll. Got a vision in mind for your portraits, maternity or otherwise? Fire up and contact me, because I am dying to hear from your bad self. Beautiful Cee, you are a rockstar.

Wedding – Emily and Graham

Emily and Graham were married in Clark Park, overlooking Sydney Harbour, in a small, sweet ceremony. Their favourite little ones  - niece, family friend, and pug - were among their attendants. Their guests enjoyed snow cones after the ceremony, then a reception in a local pub (with pug biscuit wedding favours! And a Batman cake!) that was insanely fun. My favourite kind of wedding, really. Low-key, personal, outdoors, and a little bit offbeat. Simple. Fun. Beautiful. That's all I can say. Loved it.

Portrait shoot – James and Brad’s engagement

James and Brad are impressive gentlemen whom I have known for over a decade. When they wanted to announce their engagement, I was more than happy to help out with a visit to the Domain, in Sydney, and a stop at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. I mean, how could I possibly say no? Look at them. They're wearing suits, and cufflinks, and matching rings, and they love art, and they host epic dinner parties, and they're handsome, and they kick asses daily in their respective boardrooms, and they love to tell dirty jokes, and they make a

Maternity shoot – Clair at 20 weeks

Remember Ruby, from this post? Well, while I was in Perth photographing her first birthday party, her mother took advantage of my services to perform a little impromptu maternity session. See, she's 20 weeks pregnant, and her daughter has just turned one, so not only will she have her hands insanely full very soon but she's also doing some pretty superhuman things - breastfeeding while pregnant, working full time, and moving cities. That's got to put a dent in your energy levels. So to acknowledge all of life's changes and challenges, big and small, we found a quiet oasis in

Event shoot – Ruby’s 1st birthday party

I had the great pleasure of flying over to Perth to commemorate the first birthday of little Ruby. I've shot weddings, nightclubs, pubs, 30th birthdays, 90th birthdays, engagement parties, and everything in between - but this was my first first birthday! A big party, with lots of planning and food preparation and decoration and love poured in to it, and many family and friends and children came from near and far to gather around to help Ruby blow out her candle. Not to mention it was very, very pink. It was a fantastic day and a truly beautiful party. Ruby

Family shoot – Rainy day, don’t go away

Marion and Jonathan, a Canberra-residing military couple, just wanted some nice, intimate, natural, relaxed photos of their family, in a place that they loved, on the one weekend they were in Sydney to have a session with me. That's all. Nothing fancy. Just some photos of them laying in the grass with their ridiculously adorable baby at their favourite northern Sydney picnic spot, Green Point. Not too much to ask. But what do you do when it's raining, and your spot is wet, and your baby doesn't like the rain? You make sure your photographer brings some umbrellas, you hold

Newborn shoot – Sammy and Louis

A few photos from my session with Sammy and her beautiful son, Louis. There are too many beautiful moments from this shoot so I picked a few of my favourites, including when Louis fell asleep in Sammy's arms on the couch and she held him, close to her chest, while he slept for hours. Those are the moments she will remember forever, and the moments that disappear all too soon. One day (trust me, that day is already here for me), she will look back at these photos and wonder how he was ever that small, how he ever just

Event shoot – Kristen’s 30th birthday

It's Moulin Rouge, baby! I was the photographer at this fabulous birthday party held in honour of the gorgeous Kristen. It was in a pub in Summer Hill, although you'd never know it - they decked the place out to be truly luxurious - everyone was in full costume, Toulouse Lautrec  prints were mounted, and the guests practically swam in champagne and top hats and feathers. It was amazing! A tiny sampling of the hundreds and hundreds of photographs taken follow. Happy birthday, Kristen! Your party was truly excellent and may your 31st year bring you joy, happiness, and even

Boudoir shoot – Rebecca

I so wish I could show you more of this beautiful woman, but some things must stay between a girl, her husband, and her photographer. Suffice it to say she is stunning. This shoot was a gift from her husband for her 30th birthday (what an excellent present, I might add!). There were pearls, flowers, champagne, silk gowns, lace, and legs that went for miles and miles... all the things classy old-fashioned girls are made of! I absolutely adored doing this shoot in Rebecca's home. It sparked a hunger for beautiful, womanly portraiture that I'm dying to satiate...
