Naomi and Nick’s Mini Sweetheart Session – My Backyard!

admin — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 21:08:20 +0000

Naomi and Nick’s Wedding is not far away so we decided instead of a big portrait session that I could take a few pics at my home which is also where I have my showroom. It worked in perfectly with their love of vintage 1970s style and my crumbling old backyard . We did this all in less than 5 minutes and it was almost dark. Considering they had never met me before I think we did pretty well for bringing out some lovely and natural moments!

Kirria and Daniel’s Wedding – Gardens on Forest, Peakhurst

Another hot hot hot wedding! Kirria and Dan were smart to postpone their location photos until the sun had gone down. I think my favourite part of the day was seeing the farewell curcles and the double hugs!! And as you can see Kirria’s Hair and Makeup artist was done by the Glam Van! Wedding ceremony and reception was at the newly renovated Gardens on Forest. Check out the pics

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

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.
