Little Neeve

I did Courtney and Cody's maternity photos not long ago and look who was hiding in that gorgeous belly! Little Neeve is beyond precious and this lovely team of two are absolutely smitten :) I am so lucky I have met this family and have been able to photograph part of their journey so far, I am so looking forward to watching Neeve grow :)

Lexie's Lovely Family

Little Lexie melts my heart a little every time I look at her face and delicious baby squish! I absolutely loved photographing this gorgeous family, I honestly didn't want to stop! All these cute teeny people I meet (and their lovely parents of course) just make this job so wonderful :)

A & Z Family Maternity

 I had such a great time photographing this beautiful family - doggie and all. Alberto & Zip will be welcoming their newest edition very soon and I can not wait to meet this little December surprise who is going to have the coolest sisters!

This Family of Four

Meet the gorgeous Ginnivans, A lovely family of four! These guys teamed with golden sunshine, dandelion blowing, piggy back rides, flowers, and a little loving made for a wonderful shoot! 

I LOVE photographing families, I really think it is so important to document! We grow and change far too quickly not to! Just the other day I came to the scary realisation that my Charli will be 16 in no time at all... that is pretty jolly scary considering she isn't even two!

Now, I do tend to do a little rolling around on the ground and chasing children in my shoots but little Mia was so sweet and would stop everything to come and brush the grass and leaves off me... needless to say, these adorable little sisters were so amazingly cute, they made me want more babies! 

You. Sarah

Sarah was the first of what I am calling my ' You.' Sessions. You can check out the gallery >here.
 I think it is safe to say we both loved it!  These sessions are something very important to me. So many of us have fallen out of love with ourselves. We are so preoccupied with life, constantly bombarded with what is and isn't beautiful and for some reason our flaws get a lot more air time than our qualities. We say things to ourselves we would never dream of saying or thinking about any one else, and why do we it!? It's a bit bloody mean really!  We simply, do not give ourselves the love and respect we deserve, and we absolutely need to. YOU are beautiful. YOU are loved, just as you are and YOU really need to know that! Embrace the unique and incomparable beauty that is you, right now. You get one body, one lifetime, and one you. You may as well enjoy it, love yourself, and stick it to any one that tells you otherwise.  You need no 'reason' for a portrait session other than celebrating beautiful, amazing, wonderful YOU!

Courtney & Cody Maternity

I can't really describe the happiness I get from this shoot! I was so spoilt with this beautiful couple, a beautiful belly and beautiful golden sunshine! I went hunting for the perfect place to photograph Courtney & Cody and boy did I find some gems! I was so blown away with how dramatically the sun changes things! In the first spot, the sun disappeared behind a cloud and boom, Courtney went from being in this magical place in nature to suddenly sitting in what looked like a dirty grey paddock! It truly blew my mind and trust me,  I will be chasing that sunshine! 

Now, Courtney is my lovely hair dresser at Treasured Hair & Beauty and while she wanted newborn photos, she wasn't planning on getting maternity photo's done (as you can see, we sorted that out haha). I hear this a lot and then the regret people have after it's too late really makes me sad! Even though you don't feel beautiful all day everyday all the way through pregnancy, you are, you truly are! Your body grows, and changes in ways you could never imagine and while sometimes it's hard, sometimes it hurts, and even though you cry because you can't get your shoes on, you ran out of peanut butter and have now somehow misplaced your brain,  pregnancy is precious! It IS so beautiful and when you are no longer hosting a tiny human that is starting to feel not so teeny, you will miss those little ninja kicks and a warm round belly of love to place your hands on! Capturing pregnancy is just as important as capturing a wedding, it is the very essence of life and I promise you won't regret getting them done! By myself or some one else, do it! Please :) xxx

Marine & Ali love

Oh dear me! Do I have the words, I don't know!!! These two gorgeous souls are Marine and Ali.

I met Marine when I was pregnant with what is now my beautiful toddling creature. Marine was studying midwifery and was such a huge part of my pregnancy, birth and the after math that was figuring out how to parent a very tiny human. Having Marine in my life during that time, made everything a bit more wonderful, even now, she is wonderful!- I guess she has that effect on people, Ali has to agree, because the love these two share is quite beautiful :) So to capture that beauty, we headed to Wellington Point, had a bit of cuddling amongst the trees, danced in a field (passers by were entertained) and then we headed down to the water in time for the beautiful light and colours of sunset.

I have included my favourites in this post, but if you would like to check out some more from the session you can do so > here.

Jess & Kyle

I don't have the words to tell you how much I adore these people, not to mention their photos! Jess and Kyle have been in my life for many years now and we have made many memories together! I met Jess working in a cafe in Palmerston North, New Zealand,  her and Kyle were coming up to their first year together then. I remember it so clearly and now, eight years later, I feel so lucky to be the one to capture this beautiful time in their lives. Pregnancy alone is something so precious, and when it is a new chapter in a story you have been a part of, it really is something so beautiful, so meaningful, I get warm fuzzies looking through these images and I can NOT wait to capture the new little love and the newest member of Jess and Kyle's story. If you would like to see all of Jess and Kyle's favourite images from this shoot, you are very welcome to head over and check them out, here xxx

This Beautiful Mumma

Oh cluck cluck cluck! I had the pleasure of photographing this gorgeous mumma to be and her belly full of babe at Broadbeach! We had two very lovely people accompany us, one was 1.5years old, half naked and of all places on the beach decided to come over to pee on my reflector hahaha, (all class). The other was a mutual friend hired for toddler wrangling and general navigation duties ;) Laura was so stunning and braved the water all in the name of photography. I am so in love with this images and, how cool are those clouds! Laura, you absolutely rock! x

A Courthouse Wedding

Oh what a day this was! We had so many laughs at this gorgeously casual and intimate wedding! Sinead and Mark (a delightful Irish duo) have been traveling the world *sigh* and decided to get married while here in Australia. SO MUCH FUN and what an awesome couple! Thank you so much for letting me share your special day with you, I cant wait for the updates of your journey x 

Tim & Sarah

These two wonderful people make our lives so much brighter, they are always there for us, ready and willing to give a helping hand and not to mention great company! I am so glad we have them in our lives and now, I get to share them with you :) x

Emma, Nick & Noah

While I have been sorting out my photographic life, a wee while ago I was able to head to Bribie Island to capture this beautiful little family :) I am so in love with these images, the sunshine and gorgeous little Noah. Just delicious! x
