As a photographer it's always interesting travelling to different places. The light behaves so differently from one place to another and of course the scenery changes too. Out on a portrait session at Folly Farm in the UK we came across this lovely wildflower meadow, and even though it was the middle of the day the rainy skies made for some gorgeous memories x
We know that lots of people like to hide inside during winter and wait for warmer weather, but the southwest really does offer up some gorgeous winter light on a nice day, and if you're brave enough you'll be rewarded with some beautiful family portraits!
It took us a little while to finally get out with Darren, Danielle and their three gorgeous kids. Between sports, camps, FIFO rosters, moving home and a new business it was tough to find a day that everyone could be there, but we persevered and eventually Lisa and the family spent a chilly but lovely winter's evening creating some special family memories together, which was well worth the effort!
A few weeks later they now have some amazing aluminium wall art proudly hanging at home, to be enjoyed for a lifetime - just as it should be!

Today my beautiful baby girl is 18 months old! Eve is such a beautiful, vibrant, cheeky little trouble maker. It's amazing how opposite she and her big sister are, but we wouldn't have it any other way!
To mark the occasion we spent a quick 20 minutes in the studio capturing the girls as they are, one loving life in a tutu and twirling like a princess, and one trying to eat a bubble stick.
(I don't know if other photographers get this but I find my own kids by far the most challenging to photograph ;-))
Love you to the moon and back my beautiful girls xxx

A little while ago the very gorgeous Harriet turned one, and even at her young age she's already been through more than most.
Last year my very good friend Rachel and I both found out we were pregnant and due to have our babies just a week apart. We were looking forward to being belly buddies when at 25 weeks things changed for Rachel and she was rushed up to Perth where she gave birth to her new baby girl. I can't even image how scary it must have been for her and her family, but Harriet was born safely much to the relief of everyone. Being born so early things were a little complicated, and Rachel and Harriet spent the remainder of the year living up at King Edwards hospital while hubby Ben took leave from work to look after their two older children.
It's been so inspiring to watch them just get on with everything with a smile on their faces, still enjoying life and everything it has brought to them. Thankfully Harriet has done amazingly well in her first year, and she is a beautiful happy little girl. When she turned one recently we celebrated with a Confetti party for her, and then we had a little fun in the studio to commemorate the occasion.
Check out the super special doll Harriet's holding in some of her photos - it's a preemie baby handmade to be exactly the same size and weight as she was when she was born!
Congratulations on turning ONE baby girl. Here's to many more super fun birthdays, you're a lucky girl to be born into such a loving family and they are blessed to have you :-)

We know that newborn portraits are super special and we love capturing babies when they're brand new, all curled up and sleeping, but babies change so quickly and we have to say that we loved having 3 month-old Amari in the studio recently.
The difference between a 3 month old and a newborn is huge, and we had so much fun capturing her cheeky personality and all the clever things she could do like holding herself up on her tummy, getting to know her hands and feet and smiling for mummy. The bond between new mummy Summer and her baby was just beautiful to see, thank you for sharing a little of yourselves with us and we hope your beautiful artwork is hanging proudly on your walls at home!
Pssst....Capture your little one's growing up with our super special Milestone Mini Sessions. Just check out all the details here:

Recently we had the absolute pleasure of having gorgeous little 7 month old Alexa in our studio for her very first professional photo shoot.
We just love babies at this age, so full of life and personality, and little Alexa was just super cute!
At 7 months old Alexa is all smiles, she sits up well and is thinking about starting to crawl, though she's not quite there yet. For now she'll just get up on all fours and rock, but she'll be off soon!
Don't make her lie on her back for long, she'd much rather be up and checking out new things, and of course clapping and laughing with mum and dad <3
Enjoy this gorgeous video and gallery of beautiful Alexa, and if you'd like to book your own Milestone Mini Session just check out the details on our website here:
In a world that's all brand-new,
Babies have so much to do!
Laughing, making funny faces,
Finding out those ticklish places . . .
Cuddling up and wiggling toes,
Looking cute in tiny clothes . . .
Tasting, touching, reaching high,
Crawling under, scooting by . . .
Learning words and having fun . . .
Making memories one by one.
