Beach Baby {Bribie Maternity Session}

I was just doing up some prints for this family when I realised I hadn’t blogged their maternity session! Posting these photos tonight while I’m rugged up in my doona, it’s hard to believe how terribly hot and muggy it was on this day and this family were absolute rock stars!

I first met Matt and Roanne a few years ago when their little girl was a beautiful baby bump.  Then last year I was so blessed to be invited to photograph their stunning wedding and now here they are about to welcome another little person into the world!

I met this family when there was just three of them.  Our maternity session was on a steaming hot day with a massive storm brewing which broke just as we finished up.  For their family session we held out for that perfect day so this gorgeous family could enjoy the afternoon glow as they frolicked on the beach. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to capture your growing family.

Celebrating 50 Years as Family

Quite a few weeks ago now I had the utmost pleasure to drive to the Sunshine Coast and capture some images of this wonderful couple who were celebrating 50 years of marriage with their family. Even more special is the fact that I get to call these lovely people family – my Uncle and Aunty, cousins and second cousins.

It was a beautiful afternoon – although a little on the windy side, such a wonderful occassion to come together to celebrate.

Family of Four in the Park

One of the things I love most about being a photographer is seeing my clients family grow.  I love meeting the little babies I photograph grow up to be gorgous toddlers, inquisitive children and amazing teenagers.  I love meeting their siblings and capturing some images of their growing family, frozen in time, just for this moment.  Thank you to this wonderful family for inviting me to capture some moments for you again.  It was such a pleasure!

A New Addition ~ Baby Isabelle {Newborn Lifestyle Photographer}

This beautiful little girl decided she wanted to come into the world a little earlier than expected at 37 weeks but why wouldn’t you when you had this amazing family waiting to welcome you.

I first met Kylie and Luke when they welcomed little Chloe into the world almost 2 years before to the day and Chloe is the most doting and adorable big sister I think I’ve ever seen. I hope you enjoy your little sneak peek to your images.wSMP_2528wSMP_2426SMP_2427wSMP_2441wSMP_2461wSMP_2414wSMP_2481wSMP_2494wSMP_2510wSMP_2530SMP_2703wSMP_2543SMP_2974-2SMP_3009SMP_3112SMP_3139-2wSMP_2586wSMP_2589-2wSMP_2670wSMP_2759wSMP_2804wSMP_2857wSMP_2868wSMP_2787-2wSMP_2785-2

Waiting on Baby {Petrie Maternity Photographer}

It’s hard to believe that only a few years ago I was asking people to volunteer to be my guinea pigs as I prepared a portfolio to move into the professional photography circle.  This lovely couple were one of those volunteers when they were pregnant with this hansom young who is about to become a big brother!  I hope you enjoy your photos and congratulations on your baby girl!

Family Reunion {North Brisbane Family Photographer}

I first met this family a few years ago at my very first mini-session session.  Lynda and her children were the most delightful family to work with.  Since that first session I have had the privilege of photographing her family on two other occasions but I think this one has to be the most special.  This family session was to celebrate Lynda’s Nan coming to visit. Despite the drizzly rain that threatened to wash out the session the kids and Nan were fantastic and by the end the sun had even popped out for a bit.

Thank you Lynda for this very special opportunity and for allowing me yet another opportunity to capture your beautiful family and watch them grow.
