Here are some images from my recent trip to India showing the work I was there to capture. I’m hoping to release more of the images and video by Christmas.

When I look over these images it feels like a million years ago. It was a trip that challenged and inspired me like no other journey I’ve taken. I’m filled with delight just thinking about it.

The first shoot was for an amazing school in Dehradun, north of New Delhi. It was a treat to spend a few hours in a school that was set up to give children from the local slums an education. There are over 1000 children attending this school! The motto for the Sneaha school is ‘Education Is For All’. These beautiful children have faces full of promise and excitement and I’ve never seen kids so grateful to receive an education! This was an assignment I was so thrilled and honoured to capture!

This is a shoot we did some time ago.

We had the very talented hair stylist Sue Klar come along and make some hair magic!

Holly wanted these images for her album cover and promotional material for her up and coming album!!

She is a very talented musician so go check out her myspace!

Hope you enjoy!!

Here are the lovely Benedicte & Charlie – a totally gorgeous couple in love!

Bene and Charlie live overseas but while on a little holiday here in Brisbane we did an engagement session with them.

We named the purple balloon Gertrude! Unfortunately Gertie flew away while I was trying to do a couple of shots without her!! ;( She must have been offended…;(

More blog posts coming soon!!!

This last week our youngest turned 8yrs old! It is amazing to think that our baby is so big.

Poppy is full of sparkle and fun. She is great at giving bear hugs… hence her birthday present!

While 8 seems rather big and grown up and I sometimes feel a tiny bit sad at the passing of babyhood. (No more tubby little bellies or chubby cheeks.) She is so tall and tends to tell me things like they are.

It is an honor to be her mum. I am amazed at the wonderful person who I am getting to know. I am the luckiest! Not baby but girl.

A lovely Bear girl.

You’re most likely going to ask… Where can I get my own sweet teddy bear hat?? WE LOVE these fantastic hats by Spirithoods.

Also Poppy is wearing POLKA our most favorite children’s clothing label!! GET SOME HERE!

Janet and Darrell were wanting a really fun idea for their engagement sitting… so I put a couple to them and, well, see below for the results!

I was sooo excited that they were happy to spend money on my crazy ideas and my super-fun little sister Bene and I had so much fun and laughter photographing them dancing around town with an inflatable love sign and oversized bear heads!

We have been dying to show you these shots since we photographed them awhile ago, but better late than never! Hope you enjoy them too!

I don’t normally photograph in the rain. If it is rainy I suggest a re-schedule. For Shane Emmett’s shoot there was no other day possible. He was in Brisbane for just one day and it was now or never. So we got wet. VERY WET.
Wetter then I think I have ever been. It is surprisingly hard to move in wet jeans and boots full of water. I made Shane jump off rocks and lay in puddles and wet grass. He was a trooper and kept going despite at least a dozen ant bites. It was slow work wiping my lenses every 2min and Shane was especially patient!

Despite all this we did manage to get some lovely photos of this seriously handsome man. He is an actor and presenter and generally all round wonder! If you don’t know him you should go see more of him here! You might have seen his Tropfest winning film too?? See it here. It is AMAZING!! He made it with this clever guy, Jason.

Not everyone looks this good wet! I know I did not!

I rather love to photograph bands. I have done a few lately but have not had time to share. Luckily this project is coming together nicely and I had a moment to do some YCBS work!

I didn’t really know about these clever guys till I had the honour of photographing them.

You must check them out! The Medics. Super duper talented!

I can’t wait to hear more from their new album!

We have been a tiny bit busy with this project so you may have noticed the blog has been a little neglected   Thanks for popping in just the same though! We are doing some grateful blogging over HERE so do check it out if you’re missing us!

Last month we were in Melbourne filming and photographing lots of fun projects. One of these was a super sunny engagement session in beautiful Sorrento! It was an absolute pleasure to photograph this delightful and fun couple. I am convinced their life together will be jam packed full of laughter and delight!!  I am so so excited to photograph their wedding later this month!

Wishing you all loads of sunshine and smiles. More photos soon!!

Lately we have been photographing quite a few children and families. It is an honour to capture all these little moments that are like magic.

Today we put together a bunch of shots from a few different family photography sessions. These are the ones that make me smile.  Little looks of love, snuggles or delightfully cheeky grins. These are the moments that make me want to take more photos!

Thanks to all these beautiful families who are trusting me to photograph them!!

Hope you find these make you smile too.

Mostly I like that these photos remind me to look for my own moments like these every day. They are flicking by at such great speed!! (I must post some photos of my girls!!)

Happy Tuesday!

Just a quick post on some photos we shot last week. The super talented and beautiful Susanna Oleary.
