The Cordingley family photos
Robyn was gifted a gift voucher by her daughter Holly so decided to use it to update family photos. I met with Robyn and over a coffee to get a feel for what she was after and to get a bit of a rundown about her family. The family was gathering for a graduation so we scheduled a time that ...
The Williams/Tilley family at home
After shooting for Anna and Darren during Anna's pregnancy I'd been looking forward to their newborn shoot. I had a plan! I wanted to shoot a few images that were similar to the previous pregnancy images we'd shot and highlight the transition from bump too baby. The concept worked well... see the fist two shots below.
Felix is the first Grandchild ...
Family photos by the river
The Moore family live riverside so the banks of the river was where we chose to do their family shoot. I like to shoot in locations that mean something to the people in the photos, telling a story about them. It's also a lot easier to get everyone to relax if they are somewhere familiar.
The focus for this shoot was ...
Faith – family photos Home Hill
Capturing Faith and the Swindley family on the special occasions of Faith's Debutante Ball was the second shoot I did when I visited my home town of Home Hill recently. With 3 generations present it was really special. At our first location, I captured Great Grandma's portrait as she will be 90 later this year. Watching the interaction between the generations was ...
Family photos in Home hill – Brotto family
Lara and Jeff's 2nd son Ben was a partner for the Home Hill Debutante Ball. With all her boys looking very smart, Lara thought she would take the opportunity to update her family photos.
Ben needed to be at ball rehearsal at 4.30pm... this meant we couldn't use the afternoons beautiful golden light. I traveled down to Home Hill the week before the ...
Ronon and Maddy – cousins
Living on either side of the country, Ronon and Maddy had never met in person. They met for the first time only hours before this shoot and instantly became the best of friends.
There was no way that beloved family member, Frank the sausage dog was going to be left at home. He also had a ball playing with the kids!
It ...
The Lyon/Hull extended family – 2018
This is the third time I've documented the Lyon/Hull extended family. The first shoot was done 5 years ago and in that time the kids have grown from toddlers to teens. It's important to document a family every few years because when people say 'they grow so fast' they certainly aren't kidding. You can see their other shoots here and again here. ...
the gift of gratitude this christmas
Over the years, when I deliver people their photos I often ask them how the images make them feel. The most common answer - GRATEFUL!
Having photos taken to document the relationships that are special to you is an act of gratitude. It's taking a moment to look at and reflect on what is most important in your life - the people ...
Family photos at Cungulla
It's great when a location for a family photo shoot is more than just somewhere pretty but is somewhere that is special to the family. The Abraham family has been visiting Cungulla beach for family getaways for many many years. Because of this it was the perfect spot to capture their family. When they look at these images on their walls ...
the poli family
Deano was turning 70 which prompted his family to organise a family photo shoot. A family member filled me in that there is nothing Deano loves more than sitting down with his family around him, having a chat. We thought we would incorporate this into the shoot arranging a 'boss' chair for him. The king of the family!
I imagine when ...
