Mel and Bec’s Beautiful Maternity Session (and some surprise legal document signing) {Brisbane Maternity (and wedding) Photographer}

Quite possibly my longest title ever – but if ever there was a session deserving of a magnificantly long title – this is it!

I was overjoyed when I heard from Bec and Mel that they were expecting a little baby.  I was even more excited when Mel said she wanted to do a milk bath as part of her maternity session.

Mel and Bec decided to have their session the same day as their baby shower which was wonderful because I could photograph all of the special little details of their baby shower as well!

The day was absolutely stunning as I (eventually) found the hidden little property at Mount Samson where the shower was being held.

After spending some time soaking in the milk bath – including a little visit from one of the resident baby goats, we headed outside.  I’d just like to point out here that Bec and Mel are quite possible the most lucky weather clients I have ever had.

Just as we made it out to the little lake the clouds let the sun peek through in the most beautiful way – just like it did 2 years ago at their wedding…. Speaking of which….

After our little stroll and as the Baby Shower was about to begin Mel let me know she had a little surprise planned for Bec.  She had the celebrant who had officiated at their wedding arriving so they could sign their legal wedding documents after the law change here in the land of Oz last year!  I was so excited I couldn’t leave until I’d captured a few images of this special occassion.  Wow!  What a day!

A Walk In The Park {North Brisbane Engagement Session}

What a beautiful way to spend a winter’s afternoon then exploring a new location with a gorgeous couple, an actress and a keen golfer –  celebrating their engagement.  These guys brought so much fun and laughter to the session it was an absolute please to work with them and I can’t wait for their wedding day! I hope you enjoy these images from our session

Engaged!

I just realised I hadn’t shared the most lovely engagement party I had the pleasure of photographing a few weeks ago and considering the storms here in beautiful Brisbane have been messing with my outdoor sessions it seemed like the perfect opportunity to share.

When my client gave me the address of this engagement party I was so excited! Dayboro has got to be one of my all time favourite places to photograph.

We took some time before the party started to get some family photos done.

Family Time

As the sun went down behind this gorgeous property I spent some time with this beautiful couple by themselves.

The happy couple

Before kicking up our heals and enjoying the party with a roaring bonfire, twinkling fairy lights and strings of lanterns.

But the best part of the story is that in just a little while I will get to capture this happy couple again as they say “I do”.  Stay tuned!

Beautiful Bridal Shower

On a gorgeous summery day in Brisbane I walked into this stunning garden on the Gold Coast to capture some precious moments for a gorgeous bride to be.

The attention to detail in the decorations and preparations was just beautiful.

Family and friends gathered to celebrate with strawberry champagne and beautiful food before retiring to the lovely garden area to relax, chat and share some gorgeous gifts.  Thank you so much for inviting me into your very special day and all my very best for the upcoming wedding!
