Congratulations to KNK Builders who were awarded “Best Contract Home $500-$600k” last night at the Ulladulla Civic Centre. I was stoked to get the opportunity to photograph your project to submit to these awards. I look forward to working together on future jobs!
Darren and Melissa
A few weeks ago I spent my morning with Darren, Melissa and little Maliyah. Melissa had suggested we walk one of the tracks behind the golf course and it turned out to be the perfect spot for their family portraits. Moving to the South Coast to pursue photography has allowed me to spend more time outdoors exploring the area and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Terara Family Session
These pictures speak for themselves on just how loved little Warren is.
Haven and Space Berry
I had the pleasure of working with the team at Haven and Space to photograph some of their new furniture and homewares. Haven and Space is located on the corner of Albert and Alexander Street and is definitely worth visiting on your next visit to Berry.
Lainee and Natasha get married
Lainee and Natasha got married on the day of Sydney Mardi Gras after meeting at the event 5 years earlier and what a way to celebrate their anniversary! The couple had a first look at the Wollongong Botanical Gardens followed by their ceremony and reception at The Grange, Port Kembla.
What's better than one beautiful bride? Two!

Thanks guys for having me back!
26 Streamside Street Woollamia
With so many weddings lately, I have been struggling to find time to post on my blog.
This is an incredible property I photographed last week for Oz Combined Realty. You can view the listing here.
James and Alicia's Wedding
Below are photos from James and Alicia's wedding a couple of weeks ago in Culburra, NSW. Between the ceremony and reception, we managed to duck over to Orient Point for some intimate portraits, and I'm so glad we did.
James and Alicia were such a nice couple to photograph, they had a beautiful natural connection and it was obvious how much they loved just being in each other’s company.
Enjoy the photos!
Mitch, Madeleine and Peter
These family portraits were taken at Killalea State Park, home of The Farm Markets. As a photographer, I get excited when a client is happy to do a late afternoon session as the lighting is so much better to work with. While I love shooting families I think it's important to make some time to shoot the parents too, so that's exactly what I did with Madeleine and Mitch. I can't wait to photograph this beautiful family again in the future.
Michelle's Maternity Shoot
Here are a few of my favourite photos from my maternity session with the lovely Michelle. The photos were taken at Moona Moona Creek in Huskisson when Michelle was 34 weeks pregnant. I often get asked when the ideal time for maternity photos is and my recommendation is anytime from 32 weeks, however, it is completely up to you!
Dallas and Jacqui's Wollongong Botanical Gardens Wedding
Dallas and Jacqui couldn't have picked a more beautiful location to have their wedding ceremony. The two tied the knot surrounded by flowers in the Rose Garden at the Wollongong Botanical Gardens. Their romantic wedding ceremony was followed by a traditional sit down reception at City Beach Function Centre. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know this lovely bride and groom and wish them all the best for their future as husband and wife.
Berry Family Home Session
A lot of my clients have a preconceived idea that photography sessions are highly posed and awkward. I often suggest to these clients that we take a walk or shoot the photos somewhere they feel comfortable. I have a relaxed approach to photography and I try my best to capture genuine relationships and special moments. Below are some photos from a recent shoot in Berry, NSW. Half of the booking was used taking property photos and the remainder was used taking family portraits around the home and yard.
One of the best things about this business is the nice people you meet along the way.

Jonah and Mila
When Mila emailed me to organise the engagement shoot they never had I jumped at the opportunity to head back to Sydney!
I met Jonah and Mila at the Royal Botanical Gardens on their recent visit to Australia. We wanted to shoot their session at an iconic location because Jonah is Canadian and Mila hadn't been back home in over four years.
Thanks guys for allowing me to capture this special afternoon with you both.
Melinda's Newborn Shoot
This year expect to see lots of babies on my blog! With the recent introduction of gift vouchers that have been popular gifts for expecting mothers, I have many more of these in-home newborn shoots ahead.
Aren't Melinda and Wynter-Lee the sweetest pair!
Penny and Ben's Maternity Shoot
"Sometimes miracles come in pairs."
Penelope and Ben are expecting twins! I was honored to be asked to photograph a maternity shoot for these soon to be parents. I really tried to capture the love the two have for one another and the excitement that they feel to meet their babies. The session was photographed in my hometown, Sussex Inlet. All the best to you both.
The Pakes Wedding
I finished my 2017 weddings with Josh and Courtney Pakes and what a high note to end on! Who says you can't pull off a wedding the week of Christmas?
Their big day was held in Culburra, NSW and had a strong emphasis on family. I enjoyed watching the two families join as well as two parents make an even bigger commitment to one another.
Thank you for allowing me to celebrate this new chapter with you, your friends and families.
Happy New Year to the Newlyweds!
The Coulthart Family
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas yesterday.
Back in November I had the pleasure of photographing the Coulthart family on their farm in Terrara. The shoot was organised as a surprise Christmas gift! I have been itching to share this shoot with you all because the kids are so adorable and their property was beautiful.
Thank you for letting me experience a snippet of life on farm with you guys!

Jett's First Birthday Party
Last weekend I had a very cheeky client, birthday boy Jett! I had such a great time meeting Jett's family and friends who had gathered to celebrate his very first birthday! It was so nice to see the love everyone has for the little man, and it's no wonder because for such a little person he has such a big personality!
Birthday parties are the perfect opportunity to get family photos. It's a good chance to take advantage of having all your loved ones together.
