I love that my job is so diverse. Some weeks it is commercial photography and then the next week we are all about weddings!

I recently had so much fun capturing a brand new swim wear label called Billi Jade. My girls are wearing some of these swimsuits in the ‘Summer’ video I just put up last week.

Lien created Billi Jade and is so inspiring! She has 3 kids and launched this business herself. In the pursuit of a more creative and fun job she has created an amazing label. Billi Jade is colourful, fun and totally delightful!. I am thrilled to be photographing for her!

Currently the Billi Jade website is being built but you can check them out on Facebook here: Billi Jade

There is also a great shop in Brisbane if you’re locally based.

Next we are shooting the gorgeous dance wear that Lien from Billi Jade has designed. I can’t wait!!

If you are keen to stay in the You Can’t be Serious! loop why not follow us on Facebook too : You can’t be serious is fun

We are back from all the travels.

Had an amazing time and I was delighted that at the VERY last minute Andrew and the girls came along! Will upload some photos shortly.

First up I am so excited to announce a book by my flickr friend LOMOKEV. (Kevin Meridith)

Photo OP – 52 Photographic projects has been brewing for a bit and I am so happy to be a contributor of this fantastic book.

You can see the video of the book below:

Did I mention I was excited? Teeheee!!!

I love to photograph kids over a number of years. With this family I have had the pleasure of capturing special events and following their gorgeous kids as they grow.

Check out this families recent birthday party here.

Harriet below has long been my ‘muse’ a spirited little soul who makes me smile. She knows the photography drill big time! Often telling me, ‘enough photos!’ usually 10min into the shoot… however I did manage to strike a deal where she could take a couple of shots of ME if I get a couple more of her.

I could include one of the photos she took… a most  un-flattering shot of me with my grubby knees and sweaty face!! These shots were taken on a particularly sweltering hot day in a tangle of wet park/ mosquito farm!! Of course I will NOT be including these!!

Harriet’s little sister, Imogen looked like this not that long ago… check out her amazing eyes and the best baby grin around!!

For Harriet’s 5th Birthday she got Coco the kitten…

I love photographing families! I love photography! I keep feeling rather overwhelmed with how lucky I am to have a job I love so much. I am getting closer and closer my goals and it feels good…

Here is a very cute family from a couple weeks ago. These were taken on an incredibly hot day at Roma St gardens. Ashley, Nicole and little Isabelle were very energetic and we ran around the whole park while I followed snap snapping away.

My little big girl has just turned 10.

Somehow the last 10yrs just flew by and here I am looking at a young girl who keeps reminding me of the baby girl she was a moment ago and then giving me glimpses of the woman she will be in just a moment.

I keep thinking what a delight that I get to be with this wise and amazing soul.

I am blessed. I am grateful!

How amazing is the beach! Quickly go and enjoy this fine weather and enjoy it as much as possible… sit and think and do handstands in the sand…

When I am on the beach I feel my soul expanding and all the worries get very small.

Here are a few shots from the last few days of beachy fun we had.

I love LOVE to photograph kids parties. All that colour and fun and kids being kids!

Max’s 3rd birthday was a circus party.  So plenty of wonderful costumes and very very cute little clown.

They even had a couple wonderful clowns come from  Peebo and Dagwood. They were very entertaining and fun and even the adults were captivated.

Also there was a jumping castle that despite the heat, kids in costumes bounced around to their hearts content. (I only lasted a little bit on there!!)

I do believe fun was had by all!

I took these a few weeks ago… this little muffin is getting a brother or sister soon! (yippeee! more cute babies to photograph!)
You can see her here too.
It has been too way too long since I put a pic up of her… I have so many too!

Isn’t she delightful!

Just did these fun Chrissie cards for my friend and Aunt – Angie.

How cute is that little button with her swim suit and cap! (will tell you where you can buy some of these soon… Best new brand of swimwear!)

This family are great sports, going along with my hair-brained schemes of burying them in the dirt. They’re brave too, this was on a dog beach!

I recently had the pleasure of working with a beautiful little family from Tasmania.

Claudine booked me many months ago for some fun family gatherings while they were here in Brisbane. It was delightful to get to know these guys over a few shoots.

Claudine and Jacob’s little girls are soo sweet and a delight to photograph. They LOVED the camera! LOVED might even be an understatement for Charlotte…

At one point Charlotte told her dad off for for trying to play boo with her…. she said “Dad! Hailey is trying to take my photo!” Hilarious!

These guys also run a great business called -  I DO GOWNS

Go check out their website, you can sell your wedding dress or buy a wonderful designer gown for a fraction of the price.

We started our portrait sitting in the hotel. Playing on the big bed, peek-a-boo in the curtains and yoga too! We then headed off for a walk up the hill to a great little inner city park. At the end of this shoot both Ruby and Charlotte hugged me and I was completely smitten!!
