Annie and Dan’s E-Session – Bankstown – Garrison Point

gemma — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 11:24:31 +0000

When a couple tell me they are not photogenic (and it happens sometimes), I usually expect them to be quite awkward in front of the camera and not feel comfortable. But Annie and Dan were naturals and are absolutely amazing in front of the camera so all I can say is maybe they are good liars hehe But seriously, I want to thank them so much for being patient to have the most perfect weather for their sunrise session on Saturday. We postponed I think it was 5 times because of the unpredictable summer storms. Annie and I had been chatting for months about this session and we really couldn’t believe when it came along! Annie and Dan have a great connection and were so cute when I told them to stand in front of a stone wall and be goofy, there was ear-pulling, tickling, fish kissing and model posing! Thank you sooo sooo much guys, I can’t wait for March 6 at The Mandalay in Lane Cove!

And I just love the series of photos we got as the sun was rising – a magical time of day!

Stacey and John’s E-Session – Secret Location in Bankstown

I have two favourite secret locations, and both of them are in the Bankstown area This one has been described as a scene from Twilight in the forest. It wasn’t as green for this session but it still looks beautiful. As soon as Stacey remembered this she ditched the beach idea and said “Twilight location please!” Thank you to Stacey and John who brought flowers and hats and THAT awesome purple dress and Stacey’s gorgeous purple hair too!! I love it when my clients personalise their sessions – I always want to bring out who they are in their images.

Megan rang me about my Mother’s Day Special and asked if we could do it on another day. Last weekend was that time and we had so much fun mucking around with the kids, playing on the equipment, you would never know it was only 8 degrees! Let me introduce you to Megan and Ken (mum and dad), Brittany, 9, Brendon and little Catalina (hope I got the spelling right!).

Bec and Charlie – Engagement Photos – Shortland Brush, Georges Hall, Sydney

I have found my new favourite location for couple and family photos! Bec and Charlie were so wonderful in being adventurous – including climbing trees, braving the spider infested jungle and Charlie going topless (these pics are for Bec’s eyes only)!

I can’t tell you how lucky I feel each week to spend this time with each couple. I look forward to your big wedding in November and keep up the great ‘work’ at being an incredible couple

I have two other portrait sessions that I need to post from a couple of weeks back so please come back in the next week for more fun pics!
