Georgie Resch Newborn Session

Last week I met up with Aaron and Brittney Resch, two of my past wedding clients. This time, it was in the home, to meet their new baby Georgie Carmen. It was so sweet to see how this little girl is already so loved.

Inviting someone into your home to capture photos of your brand new baby is a big thing, and I don’t take that lightly. I feel honoured to be trusted by new parents and so blessed to be welcomed into that newborn bubble. My approach to newborn photography is to take time to get to know you and capture your authentic moments as a family. I try to help everyone feel at ease because the best photos are raw and full of emotion.

Home At Callala - Holiday Property

Last week I was booked by Home at Callala to create some new content for their socials. I have loved watching the owners of this cottage transform it into a beautiful holiday property. If you love coastal interiors, renovation transformations, or just want some holiday inspo then, go give @homeatcallala a follow.

Baby Avoka Cantarakis

There is something so beautiful about walking into a home that has recently welcomed a new life. Last week I met up with parents Steve and Jess to meet their little girl, baby Avoka. I wanted to capture some memories of those first few moments of newborn life, so our session was full of lots of cuddles and kisses. Congratulations on the sweetest addition to the family!

Bridal Editorial Shoot

We jump at the opportunity to get creative and do something a little different. Usually, our bridal shoots take place right on sunset at a local venue using natural light. Earlier this month, we joined up with some other wedding suppliers for an indoor editorial style shoot. We wanted to focus on the bride, using minimal flowers and no props.

We had so much fun bringing the mood board to life with some old and new friends.

Portfolio Shoot Leksi Stepanovic

We met up at Blenheim Beach to shoot a range of poses and outfits. Leksi had her makeup professionally done by Brigette Alana MUA. Keep scrolling to see some of the highlights from our session.

The Glanville Family

The Glanville family are soon to introduce their fourth member. I caught up with them in Jervis Bay to take some maternity photos for Shelley and to hang out at the beach with their son. Here are some of the highlights from our fun little winter session.

Last week I photographed a recently completed renovation by Ryder Building Group in Wollongong, NSW.

A Surprise 60th Session

I love getting the opportunity to capture memories for families, like this session, a 60th birthday in the Southern Highlands. Thank you Amy, for organising this surprise for your mum, I loved catching up with your extended family and meeting Megan’s handsome twins. Here are the highlights.

In the Nursery With Tyde Tooth

Last week we caught up with Jayde and Rachel Tooth at their home to meet the newest addition to the family, baby Tyde. Tyde may just be the most chilled out baby we’ve ever met, he was asleep almost the whole time we were there, not even waking when the dogs gave him a kiss.

Jayde and Rachel allowed us to photograph some products that will be available to purchase soon in our new online store, The Cot Club. With our wedding photography business being impacted by the bushfires and the pandemic we decided to start something new. After being in our own baby bubble we wanted to open an online store for all the things we have loved and needed for the little ones. In our newborn session, you can see some of our baby swaddles and cot organiser.

Thank you Jayde and Rachel for welcoming us into your home and allowing us to document those first precious moments as a family.

Keira Turns Six

To celebrate turning six, our niece Keira asked to go the Shoalhaven Animal Park with her family. We had to take advantage of having her cousins all together to get some family photos. These kids made the day so much fun. Happy Birthday Keira!

Rhys Turns One

Last Saturday my nephew Rhys turned one, he celebrated the day with cake and cuddles! Here are a few snaps from his party.

Aaron and Katie's Engagement Shoot

Last weekend I met up with Aaron and Katie, an engaged couple who have booked me in for their wedding photography. They wanted their session captured at the Nowra Showgrounds, so we met up by the stables and took a walk over to the pavilion and into surrounding bushland. This was my first session at this location, and I will definitely be using it again. After a fun session I am looking forward to catching with these guys again at the wedding!

Mitch and Taylor's Lake Conjola Engagement Session

This engagement shoot has been a long time in the making. Mitch and Taylor have been planning their engagement session at Lake Conjola for a while now but thanks to the Christmas bushfires and Covid-19 they had to postpone. After much anticipation it was great to meet up with these two ahead of their wedding in Milton. Congratulations on your engagement, I can’t wait to join you both at the wedding!

A Surprise Proposal at Terara Riverside Gardens

Last week I met up with Elspeth and her family for a family photo shoot at Terara Riverside Gardens. Terara means a lot to Ryan and Elspeth who were married here a few years ago. During our session Elspeth’s brother Andrew got down on one knee and proposed to the love of his life. It was such a nice moment to be part of and for his family to witness. Here are some of my favourite photos from our session together.

Sarah's Maternity Session

Last week I caught up with Jonathon and Sarah for a maternity session in Jervis Bay. This was my second time shooting this couple, the first was last year at their wedding. It’s always nice to see my clients again celebrating the next chapter in their life together. Thank you for braving the winter air and joining me at the beach for this maternity shoot. I wish you all the best on your journey to parenthood!

The Rogers Newborn Session

A couple of years ago I photographed the wedding of Marcus and Leah, fast forward to last week and they are now a family of four. I had the chance to meet their latest addition, baby Denver at their home in Jaspers Brush and she sure is special! I feel so blessed to be welcomed into the homes of new parents and to meet babies so new to the world. It won’t be long until Regal and Denver are running around, the best of friends. Here are some of the highlights from our in-home session together.

The Pont Family

Our family and kids portrait sessions in Jervis Bay are very popular with good reason. We are lucky to live in an area with well protected beaches surrounded by National Park. The colour of the water is breathtaking and the sand is some of the whitest in the world. My latest session kicked off in the bushland near Blenheim Beach with the Pont family and finished on the sand. It was a lot of fun, here are some of the highlights.

Willow Farm Styled Shoot

Our latest shoot took place at Willow Farm in Berry, NSW. We wanted to showcase a modern country wedding with trendy arches and pews for the ceremony mixed with bohemian styled dried foliage and soft white florals. For the reception, it was all about moody ambiance. The team designed an epic tablescape that was lit by chandeliers, candles, and festoon lighting. The texture from the gown was reflected in the three-tier cake that was also dressed in matching florals. Holly and Brigette worked together to create a natural makeup look and soft, romantic waves. Real-life husband and wife AJ and Alyssa got to spend the afternoon away from their five kids for a chance to re-live their wedding day. We were able to photograph this shoot in 90 minutes, finishing the session with some gelato and champagne just as the rain set in. Thank you to our incredible team for not only doing a great job but for making this one so much fun!
