Sleepy, sweet and so small
Dulcie slept peacefully through most of her session, giving us plenty of soft, quiet portraits to...

A Little Firefighter's Father's Day Gift for Dad
Some of my favourite sessions start with a simple idea. This one began with a message from Mum: "I want to do something special for my husband this Father's Day."
Her husband is a firefighter, and their little boy thinks his dad has the coolest job in the world. So we planned a surprise gift for Dad: a session for his son, out the front of the f...

Why We Ask Parents to Sit Back During Newborn Wrapping & posing
There's a small but important part of every newborn session that clients don't always expect — and it's one of the reasons sessions run so smoothly.
After we finish the family portraits, I ask parents to take a seat in a designated spot in the studio while I take over the wrapping and posing of their newborn. It's not because I don't want your hel...

A Bunbury Engagement Session with a Sweet Surprise (and a Very Good Dog)
Every session has its own story, but this one had a plot twist I didn't see coming. What started as a relaxed Bunbury engagement session for this gorgeous couple turned into something even more special — a pregnancy announcement, captured right there in the same shoot, with t...

Bunbury Baby Milestone Photography: Watching Kai Grow at 8 Months
There's something special about photographing a child through their first year. I've had the joy of capturing Kai's journey right here in Bunbury since he was just a few weeks old, starting with a cosy Christmas session when he was tiny enough to fit in a Santa sack, through a couple of sweet sessions in between, and now — his 8 month milestone ses...
