Kirria and Dan’s ESession – Merrylands Central Park

admin — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 20:51:24 +0000

A morning session in the park – we were almost the only people there! Kirria booked me over the phone and email so this was the first time we met. By the end of the session they were professional models – relaxed and happy to play up for the camera! Absolute naturals! And I absolutely adored the matching peach theme – so sweet Looking forward to the wedding today!

Louise and Mathew’s ESession – at Home in Bradbury

Louise and Mat are homebodies and love just hanging out together in their newly renovated home. They also enjoy being big kids so we walked down to the local park before playing some Wii bowling and Mat chilling out with the guitar. I love that more and more of my clients are taking my advice to really personalise their portrait sessions so they can have memories that really represent who they are and what they love to do! Enjoy watching Lou and Mat having fun from this morning!

Emma and Tim’s ESession – Picnic Point and Newcastle Knights

Emma and Tim met in Newcastle and the development of their relationship was there. So when Emma thought of how she could have something personal in their portrait session in Sydney she thought of their mutual love of the Newcastle Knights. So I asked them to bring along all the merchandise and we could have some fun on the footy field! We also did some romantic photos beforehand at a park next to the field. They also brought two framed lists detailing why they love each other – so beautiful!

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!

Bowen and Taryn – E-Session – Camellia Gardens – Caringbah

gemma — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 22:56:50 +0000

A beautiful location, I really didn’t know where to start, a lot of the flowers were in bloom and everyone was enjoying a picnic for father’s day! Taryn and Bowen are a very sweet couple who you can tell instantly that they care about each other a lot. Although Taryn in her career is a performer, it was Bowen who was pulling out all the moves, wooing his lovely lady. Feast your eyes on the beautiful Camellia Gardens at Caringbah in the Sutherland Shire and the beautiful couple to marry in November this year.

Being a romantic and renacting the proposal

Because she can!

Kim and Lincoln – E-Session – Shortland Brush, Georges Hall

A lot of the couples who are getting married these days have kids already so it is always great to do a family portrait session before the wedding So much joy and love radiates from this lovely family and you will be able to see it in the photos. Please let me introduce you to you – Lincoln, Kim and Mac!

Mac was such a great help for me on the day dragging my camera bag – he offered and wouldn’t let me take it – what a sweetie

And this is my favourite

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

gemma — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 19:26:17 +0000

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!
