Catholic christening at St Paul’s of the Cross

I absolutely love being here for my families when they're baptising their children. When I'm shooting baptisms and christenings, I'm in the zone - I'm on the sidelines of the action, like a formally-dressed ninja, floating in the background with my quiet shutters and silent shoes - but because I'm shooting with a variety of lenses on two camera bodies, I can be in amongst the action capturing every moment you see (and many you don't!). Christenings are a joy to capture too, there's so much beauty and sentiment and ceremony, and everything is instilled with a sense of

Cosy autumn newborn session at home

Baby + doona + family + kisses + play + bath + dancing to the Wiggles. What more could you ask for? This gorgeous newborn session with baby Ivy was completed in Sydney's Inner West, in a small townhouse, on a cosy overcast day. Her parents wanted to capture all the little things they love about this season of life, with their two little girls. Things like cuddling up in bed all together in the early morning. Things like little baby baths, and little baby cuddles. Things like dancing in the lounge room, tickling, and taking care of big

A beautiful mid-week elopement: documentary wedding photography at Paddington Reservoir

Tuesday. Secret lunchtime ceremony. Seven guests. The amazing hidden setting of Paddington Reservoir. A recipe for a perfect wedding.   Samantha and Scott decided to get married in the intimate presence of their few dearest friends, and their baby daughter, in the incredible underground gardens in Sydney's CBD. I mean, look at this place: it's a wonderland of columns, arches, luscious green gardens, and unbelievable light - what a backdrop for a cosy, simple, luxurious elopement! I was asked to document their day for only two hours - because when your wedding is perfectly succinct, you don't need any more than that for

Jasmin + Claudine: Wedding at Sydney Rowing Club

"And love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love; cannot be killed or swept aside.... Now fill the world with music, love, and pride." The modern playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda said it best.   Guys, you know I'm a sap. I fully admit it - I'm a romance-a-holic. There's nothing I like better than to see two people so heady in deep love that they just can't keep their eyes and smiles off each other. So it should come as no surprise to you that when I was honoured to document the union of these two unbelievably beautiful women, I may or may not have cried a little behind the lens -

Maternity session at home – Shannon

I love maternity shoots. I think they're beautiful, in every shape and form in which they come. I think pregnancy is something to celebrate. But... not every maternity photography session needs to be wearing a long drapey dress, in a field, wearing a flower crown. Not every pregnancy shoot needs to be in your underwear. (It can be, but that's entirely up to you! If anyone tries to tell you you have to strip to get good photographs of you while pregnant, leave immediately.) Not every expectant mother needs to trek to beautiful sunset location with a full face of makeup.
