I had a really great time with Janelle and Campbell during their engagement shoot a few days ago.  This is why I love shooting in winter - amazing sky’s and a longer twilight hour which makes for such beautiful light.  This couple are such fun and I am so looking forward to their wedding at the end of the year!

It was a real privilege to meet and spend a few hours with this family.  They were great company and the session went really well and we captured lots of natural family moments.

I was really happy when I was invited to come and photograph this birthday party.  You may recognise this family who had a session with me earlier this year.  This party was a blast - the kids had so much fun, especially with the animal farm.  Here are a few of my favourites from the day. 

After the party was over we took a few moments for some family photos.  They are such a beautiful family. 

Thanks so much for including me in your day!

This is my sister and her family.  We ventured out for a session on the weekend when they were visiting. 

When most people think of dressing for portrait sessions they think about pretty dresses and smart outfits.  This session breaks the mould.  Nothing expresses the nature of a toddler better than letting them wander a open beach - plenty of sand to dig and water to splash in…and some watermelon to snack on. 

I had a wonderful morning with baby Lucas and his family yesterday.  He was an amazing subject - just fell asleep during a family photo and stayed that way.  Amazing for a 3 month old baby.  Here’s a few of my favourites from the session. 

There is nothing like photos of your children doing what they love doing.  I really encourage people to think about what they love doing and base their family portraits around that.  Whether it’s spending time at the beach or in the woods.  Eating ice-cream or fish & chips.  It’s so much nicer to have portraits that will really remind you in the future of what your children were like and what you loved doing.   Here are a few recent ones of a teddy bears picnic that I was privileged to witness.

I met Kim & Derick for their engagement session a few weeks ago.  We had a great time.

It was a real privilege to meet this wonderful family.  These two kids were charming to work with and I had a wonderful time.  Here are a few of my favourites from our session.
