As I lay awake in bed ~ brisbane Newborn photographer

I wondered why little Miss sienna was so awake the other day. My theroy is , there is a day, between 2 and 3 weeks of age, when babies realise they are in another world. This day is random , but they spend it awake , calm looking around and then after that day, they just seem less newborn and more aware.

This is my “theory” hehe

I was determined to get Sienna parents some more sleepy shots. I have never had a baby beat me, and I wasn’t going to let Sienna be the first:)

I pulled out ever trick I know, and today she was out like a light ( after a ton of coaxing mind you!)

I am happy now, I have all th shots I wanted. I also feel accomplished in my challenge to get a stubborn little Miss , to a sleepy pile of baby goodness.

Enjoy your extra sneak peek guys, thanks for having the faith:)

My gorgeous Furry boys…. time for an update

It was drama central here this week when our little pug boy was STOLEN! Microchippd with tags, he went for a little walk about ( he is getting desxed this week , due to his walks!) and never came home.

We called the pounds, vets, and rescue centers, we delivered flyers and door knocked. It took a good samaritan who was walking his dog and saw someone locking a pug in a tennis court to call us ( through the flyer ) . He rang us with all the information, wanted no reward , just for us to get out dog home safely!
We were able to go and get Frankie (thanks to my two big burly men who went to door knock) . It was amazing and reaffirmed my faith in humanity .

Well now frankie is home, but being a little wild by wondering off ( see comment re desexing ) so when he goes off leash, he is tied to the good dog Delgado. Delgado comes to you with one short whistle, he runs flat stick to you . No matter if there are dogs , people or food, one whistle he is there! So frankie is learning the ropes through the 7 month old puppy!

Here are my boys, I adore my time with them. It is my de stress time and also a time to catch up with my kids and or hubby.

A spiritual adventure

I had the pleasure of meeting this lovely man at the Brisbane Psychic convention. I was thrilled when he rang to ask for some new headshots for his Psychic readings.

I took him to the beach for an earthy feel, and used the amazing sun to give his images a slightly ethereal quality .

Thank you lovely *E* it was a pleasure photographing you, and I am glad you had so much fun!

Enjoy a little peek into your session.

Hello world ! ~ Newborn photography Gold coast Brisbane

This is what Sienna seemed to be saying today. Calm and content and WIDE awake:)We had a fight today to get her to nod off, she was not at all fussy, but she sure was stubborn !

Gorgeous mum and dad were very patient as we tried all the tricks we know . I think today was the day Sienna realised , there is a great big world around her.

A long 2 and a half hour shoot , and we were all more tired than Sienna:)

Completely beautiful baby, lovely parents, photographing newborns never really seems like work, I always say I have the best job in the world !

enjoy your sneak peek guys,

Adorable little Christine turns on year old !

I felt a kindred spirit with this family. They had a big gap between their children!

I could feel the special bond that these amazing kids had with Christine, and it reminded me of my own family.

This was Christines photoshoot, for her first birthday ! Petite and girly she was so adorable.

Enjoy your sneak peek guys, thanks for taking the drive down, it was lovely to meet you all !

Easy, easy – not so easy

I like to challenge myself with lighting , and the art of balancing flash with the surrounding light . Keeping flash power light and keeping the flame light realistic is actually quite hard !
I knew this when I booked this shoot. So to cover my bases , I started off at 5 pm with some easy, easy, nice light shots, then started shooting the hard stuff around the fire once the sun went down.

I was going for an “end of summer” type feel, I think I almost (70% ) mastered it. I learnt a lot, had a ton of fun, and spent time with some amazing new clients.

Thanks guys for coming out, for putting so much though into your outfits and for going along with my completely hair brained Ideas!

Enjoy your sneak peek, I really loved the results!

Daisy the little miracle ! Brisbane Newborn photographer

Little Miss Daisy , came to this world in a BIG rush. Born on June 8th, she is only just out of hospital now. Having a rough little start to life, Daisy is a beautiful miracle for her gorgeous mummy!

9 weeks old, smiley and all grown up but still such a newborn. We got some great images today without having to put any stess on the little love. She was so easy to work with, drifting in and out of sleep for us. ( thank goodness for the boob! I think daisy is making up for lost time with her mummy in that depatment:)

Enjoy your sneak peek jade, thanks for everything xx

The boudoir misconception


I get a little frustrated at time when people assume boudior photography needs to be trashy to be sexy!

Nothing is further from the truth! Gorgeous sensual images are all about the female form, and not about the sexy “bits”

Classy images to celebrate being a woman!

I photographed an amazing boudoir shoot on the weekend to show case the way all women can be portrayed , sexy, glamourous and timeless.

This lively , fun , happy family of 6 was no exception. A real mixture of personalities , they kept me on my toes!

I adore their shots, and I adore photographing big families ~ thank you so much guys for choosing us to capture your family. I hope you like them as much as I do!
