I’ve heard it said that the season of grandparents is kind of like dessert. The stress and intensity of parenting is like life’s main meal but then comes the sweet and joyous next course. Wall art from family photoshoots is one way you get see your grandbabies everyday, even though they might not be close by.
Read MoreWith busy work and school schedules, any family knows it’s hard to get quality time in sometimes. I love how intentional the Buchanan family are in creating the time, planning these days together, and capturing them to look back on. By investing in regular family photos, they have created a visual story of their daughter’s childhood - what a legacy gift!
Read MoreA lot of families seem to get photos done when their babies are born, but then don’t think to photograph them through the years as they grow up. But here’s the thing. Primary school aged kids are awesome!! They have their own unique personalities, their own loves and hobbies, they’re loosing teeth, they scrape their knees playing sport, and they just love life!
Read MoreIf you’re looking for the best spots for Autumn family photos, the Hawkesbury definitely doesn’t disappoint. In this session, we were able to tell the story of the family as a whole, as well as all the important members of that family. Group shots, individual families and grandparents with the kiddos, as well as each child on their own. In big families, everything can feel like a group event, but each grandchild got their own moment to be the star and have their portrait taken.
Read MoreIn every season of parenthood, we feel like if we just get through this stage, the next one will bring more freedom, more breathing space and more time. So we put off things for ‘later’. Family photography is one of those things that’s easy to delay. But it’s also something that you’re not able to capture in retrospect. Once a season has passed, it doesn’t return.
Read MoreDaylight savings provides us the perfect opportunity for a long afternoon to play, explore and make memories. With daylight stretching out into the evening, there’s a special block of time to spend together as a family, even after parents come home from work or after-school activities. I still remember long summer evenings and the memories we made when I was little, and I bet you can too! Just think about the memories your little ones will be reminiscing on in the years to come. Let's take the opportunity to create something that will last to help you and your kiddos remember these fun summer memories.
Read MoreAs a Hawkesbury family photographer, I just love outdoor family photoshoots! They are such a fun day and the memories you make are unforgettable. Not only have you captured a season in your children’s lives, but you’ve made beautiful art that can adorn your home for years and even be gifted to your children one day.
Read MoreThe theme for my 2021 Christmas photoshoot was ‘Merry & Bright’. It was so fun to see so many families wrap up 2021 with easy-going, joyful family memories that can be celebrated and gifted now, and continue being enjoyed for decades to come! I wish I had the space to show every smiling face that joined the fun, but here are just a few…..
Read MoreThere’s something about the backdrop of Autumn leaves that makes a family photography session so spectacular. It’s a great setting to get the family together, the air is crisp enough to snuggle together but warm enough for the kids to have a whole lot of fun and the colours are amazing!
Read MoreThe best and most treasured images, the ones you want to hang on the wall or gift to family and friends, are the ones where you’re truly being present in the moment, loving on one another and enjoying what makes your family unique.
Read MoreThere are so many pretty spots around the Hawkesbury and Western Sydney to have your family photos, but when a family asks if it would be possible to take the photos on their own property, my first response is always YES! Because we’re not just creating beautiful family photos for you, we’re documenting your story and creating childhood memories for your kids in the process.
Read MoreThank you to all the lovely families who joined the fun at my White Christmas Family Photos in 2020. Christmas is such a busy time, but it was so nice to take time out of the craziness, focus just on the moment in front of us, and make some fun and happy memories before the year was out!
Read MoreEach of us likely have places we remember fondly from our childhood. Maybe it was the family holiday spot or a nearby park or river, a special place where you’d go to play and imagine and have adventures. As you read this, maybe the place springs to mind and a smile appears as you think of the fond memories you have at your childhood happy place.
Read MoreI recently had the pleasure of doing a wedding anniversary photo shoot for the Ransons. I’ve had the opportunity of photographing the Ranson family in the past as they record special family milestones and document their boys growing up. This time was no exception. Having celebrated their ten year wedding anniversary earlier in the year, the Ranson’s wanted to mark that special occasion with some family fun that they can look back on with their two gorgeous boys in the years to come.
Read MoreWhat better way to celebrate these adorable twins turning one than with a bright, colourful cake smash! There’s definitely no shortage of confetti or cake in this first birthday photo shoot. We started off with some clean shots which is always a good idea in messy photo shoots, to capture both the kiddies on their own, as well as that special sibling bond. Once that was done, we introduced the cakes, and all the messy fun began!
Read MoreThough mother-daughter relationships change and evolve with time, the here and now is just so beautifully special. The days that just felt wild and free, without any worries, guided and cared for by mum’s love.
Read MoreIn our family photography session, I want to tell the story of your family, as it is today. Families change with time- kids grow up and their hobbies and interests change. That’s what makes capturing your family journey at each stage along the way so special.
Read MoreAnnual photos are such a wonderful marker of time. Children and parents alike love to look back over the years and see the changes year-to-year. Christmas is a time of year full of gatherings, holidays, break from school and work and therefore often becomes a natural time for photos to be taken that mark the passing year.
Read MoreAs we head into 2020 and move into yet another decade, we naturally look back at the last decade and reminisce on what we've done, how we've changed and where we are today. We take a nostalgic look back at the past decade and at the same time, glance with hope into what the decade ahead may have in store for us.
Read MoreIn-home family photography sessions are my all-time favourite. Not only do we capture beautiful photos of your kiddos and family, but we’re creating real-life memories. The photos that we create will tell the story of what everyday life was like for your family at this particular time. That lounge chair where you use to cuddle your babies on those long nights….
