What a lovely morning spent on the beach. This was my first engagement session with a doggie – I was so excited when Sandrine and Ly told me about Odyssey! She is an important part of their family so they couldn’t imagine doing the photos without her! We almost had the beach to ourselves so Odyssey was able to run around and play in the sand while her mum and dad were getting their smoochy pics done.

Thank you to all my wonderful clients this year for giving me such wonderful moments to capture. You have all helped me grow professionally and personally and I thank you very much for that! I have all my favourites and more on my Facebook page too if you would like to join. In the meantime feel free to scroll down the page and see some of them here.

Photos of Danny was a surprise present for his family and Godmother, he was perfect during our portrait session. I wish i could photograph him everyday!

Ronald and Coobe flew in from Hong Kong to get their pre-wedding photos done with me in Sydney. Unfortunately it rained all week so I begged the QVB to let us do a few photos inside. Lucky for me they said yes!

But we did find an hour of sunshine on the last day they were there – phew!

And Rach and Courtney were so cute along the river at Wallacia.

Michelle and Andre live in the inner west and wanted to do a session with graffiti because it is a part of their everyday life. I loved the colours!!

When I offer my complimentary portrait sessions to my wedding couples a lot of the time it becomes a family shoot. This is one my all-time faves for the year – Lincoln, Kim and Mack, you are forever in my heart.

Can you feel the love? Kim and Jarrad at Camelot in Camden.

Just beautiful… Bowen and Taryn.

Kate and Jarad – one tree, lots of leaves, lots of fun!

A surprise present for their Dad’s 60th!  He loved the canvases of the girls!!

The sunrise sessions are always the best! Bec and Charlie heat up the camera with their smooches.

And a pic from my very favourite session in 2009 which was done on Christmas Eve at Sunrise!  Thanks Erin and Jake!!

The Grocott sisters were going to be away from home when their dad was to celebrate 6-0 so they decided to have some fun portraits taken and have me make them into canvases as a surprise! The surprise was well received! Greer and Greta agreed to meet me at the Chinese Gardens after an expo I was attending as we had to fit the session in before they left for their trips overseas and to Western Australia.

My lovely March 7 bride, Melissa decided to give her brother, Ben, a gift of photos for his engagement. Mel and her other brother Luke, asked me to do an Engagement/Pregnancy Session and capture some of the engagement party. I met Ben and Louise at ‘the Rock’ which is in the Blue Mountains National Park just out from Mulgoa. It is a beautiful location and quite scary as there is no fencing around the rock and if you slip..well that’s it…down you go! Needless to say we were very careful and we had a lot of fun trying to capture as many moments as possible before the light disappeared! Here are some of the photos we were able to capture in 25 minutes. Ben and Louise are great in front of the camera and have a natural glow and connection. Congrats!
