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.
