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 fire truck.

The gift was the idea

Mum didn't need a fancy concept. She knew what her family is about, and that made it personal. You don't need a perfect plan to book a session. Bring me your idea, even a half-formed one.

• Does Dad love his ute, his boat, his workshop?
• Does your little one adore something about their mum or dad's job?
• Is there a hobby, a uniform or a favourite spot that says "this is our family"?

Tell me the details and I'll help turn them into something you'll treasure. Location, outfits and posing are my job. The idea is yours.
