The White family
With Townsville and Magnetic Island as our backdrop, I captured these images of the White family. These gorgeous boys kept me on my toes, which is my favourite way to shoot. The only way to capture 'life' is to have life happening. Can you pick who the cheekiest is? By the end of the shoot we had sand everywhere but smiles ...

'The sign of a beautiful person is that they always see the beauty in others.'
This beautiful woman spends her days making other women feel beautiful.
I love the process I go through when photographing women. She starts off guarded or nervous and self-conscious and then after we share a few laughs, she starts to open up, to reveal her true self. ...
The Deacon family 2018
I love shooting for the Deacon family yearly, but this one was extra special.
Huon moved to Perth last year so this shoot was scheduled for his first trip home. It was beautiful seeing them together after their time apart. That's the thing with family... no matter how long you're apart, when you're reunited everything just falls into place. There's no ...
A birthday gift – family photos
I first photographed these boys about 20 years ago when they were in nappies. One of the images I took still hangs on a wall in their family home. Wow! They have grown into lovely young men and also gained a little sister since then. This shoot came about because their Mum had a special birthday coming up and the only thing ...
the frakes family – beach family photos
I first shot for the Frakes family when Olivia was just 6 months old. We've documented their story many times over the years. The afternoon we spent together down the beach was relaxed and simply beautiful. Their gorgeous little dog Tilley kept us all entertained.
Even before the shoot Danielle had a very clear idea of how she wanted to display ...
Deacon family – the 11th year
I look forward to this shoot all year!
For the 11th consecutive year, we are very grateful to have the opportunity to document the Deacon Family.
There were big changes for this lovely family in 2017 with Huon moving to WA. The natural progression of a growing family - they move out! We missed Huon at the shoot. He is usually teasing ...
The McCabe family – pallarenda beach family photos
I recently spent an afternoon down Pallarenda beach with Rachelle and Thane's lovely little family.
Under a beautiful stormy sky, the kids collected shells to decorate a very creative sand castle. When Rachelle and Thane look at these images I want them to remember a fun afternoon and be reminded how life was at this time.
I know first hand having a young family is not ...
The Grant family
Emil and Claire are enjoying life with little Bridgette and I loved documenting this time for them. For me, shoots are just hanging out together.... getting to know each other and the camera just happens to also be there. We chatted, played and thanks to Bridgette, laughed a lot. She is quite the little character.

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 ...
Jane & Vin – family photos
I showed Jane her family photos yesterday... she turned to me with tears in her eyes and said "My heart feels like it has swelled to 10 times its normal size. I am one lucky girl".
The gratitude I feel for being able to create meaningful images for people is immense. The gratitude I feel for being able to create images ...
