Getting In The Frame - Warrnambool Family Photographer

In my experience, it’s usually us mums that take most of the photos of our kids and family at home or out and about. It’s also the number one reason why most of us are actually rarely in them.

As photographers we talk about it all the time and my number one goal is to turn this around.

Getting in the frame is a really valuable practice and it’s also a lot of fun! It allows us participate in the moment and be a part of the memory making not just the one who’s always behind the lens. Getting in the frame also allows you to see yourself through the eyes of your loved ones and to embrace your own beauty and worth.

The Shepherd Family + Dear Old Kenny - Point Lonsdale Family Photographer

Documenting life and family is my favourite thing to do and when clients bring their pets it adds a whole new layer to their unique story. Often parents have had their pets for longer than their kids so I understand what role they play in the dynamic. Kenny the Staffordshire Terrier joined us on this shoot as he was a dear member of the family but sadly he died only weeks after. I am so pleased we had the chance to make these memories before this lovely family had to say goodbye to their special fur baby.

Little Louli and her Loves - Geelong Family Photographer

The stars aligned when Lucy and I got together to talk about the possibility of a family shoot. Lucy is not only an old friend but also an outrageously talented artist and screen printer. She is the creative soul behind ‘Little Louli’ a children’s bedlinen brand. Louli makes beautiful cotton quilt covers and pillowcases printed with designs that are fresh and full of life. She says they are a ‘fun mix and match party for the bedroom.’ I knew from the start that this shoot was going to be something really crazy, beautiful.

Notre-Dame de Paris - Warrnambool Photographer

A look back into what inspired me to pursue the art of photography from a young age. When I was 17 I lived in Paris with a beautiful family who took me in as their own for a short while. I spent a very special couple of months sharing their culture, improving my French and learning about their great love of photography.

Country Charm and Connections - WestERN DISTRICT Lifestyle Photographer

A secret garden, an old farm house, a wool shed, hearty crops and vintage vehicles all created the most beautiful back drop to this very special family shoot. There is a strong sense of nostalgia and family connection throughout these images and I have to say they have become some of my favourites to date.

Griffiths Island Wanderings - Port Fairy Family Photographer

On the most magical autumn evening in April, an old school friend and I finally got the chance to catch up and walk around Griffiths Island in Port Fairy together. The images that we created speak for themselves.

Expect The Un Expected - Warrnambool Lifestyle Photographer

‘Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.’ These wise words often float through my mind. If children, pets or the possibility of inclement weather are key considerations in planning for your next photo shoot then take heed.

Dear Photographer - Port Fairy Lifestyle Photographer
