And So I Don't Forget Photography

Redwoods, romance, and a little late-afternoon magic.

These two wanted something that matched the energy of their Mount Kosciuszko proposal — and the Redwood Forest in Warburton delivered. Towering trees, moody light, and real, unposed moments that felt completely their own.

📷 Take a look at their engagement session.
If you're dreaming of something natural, relaxed, and a little wild, let’s talk.

A playful, love-filled engagement session in the Redwood Forest in Warburton. Candid moments, moody light, and a setting straight out of a fairytale.

Do you have double authentication set up on your Instagram account? No? Go do it now, I’ll wait.

My personal account was hacked back in January. They got into my email account first, then reset the email address linked to my Insta account AND verified it.

Trying to report the problem here is an endless loop of…nothingness. Now my account appears to just be gone. I did screenshot a bunch of posts - hopefully my more sentimental - but it feel like over 10 years of history disappeared.

So please, learn from my mistake.

Look at this adorable little cutie! Meet baby Arthur, who looks so tiny and precious in his dad’s loving arms. There’s something so heartwarming about a father holding his little one, don’t you think?

My lovely client aptly described the memories and moments she wished to capture as ‘the beautiful messy chaos of it all.’ It’s such a perfect way to encapsulate life with young kids, isn’t it? These everyday moments shared together are the memories that truly matter, the ones we want to cherish and hold onto. Let’s embrace the laughter, the crumbs, the joyful mess, and the beautiful chaos of it all.

It’s said that the eyes are the windows to the soul, but I will forever be a sucker for hands. ⁠
⁠
They hold. They touch. They feel. ⁠
⁠
They care for. They show love. ⁠
⁠
I will forever be a fan of the hands.

Grandmas love photos of their grandkids. It’s an almost universal truth (or it should be). Their sweet little grins, their beautiful wide eyes... No one is more enamoured than a grandma. 💕 But this Mother’s Day, I have something even better to offer. ⁠
⁠
Grandmother & Grandkids Photo Sessions⁠
⁠
Let’s take some photos - also known as precious memories - of your kids WITH their grandmother! ⁠
⁠
It’s the perfect gift for grandma - you receive a lovely gift voucher for presenting on Mother’s Day - and it’s capturing and recording this special relationship for your kids. These are photos that will likely become only more precious as time passes. ⁠
⁠
The Details: ⁠
▪️ 30 minute photo session at my bush property in Hurstbridge.⁠
▪️ Your favourite 5 digital photos for download, in full-size high-resolution print ready files. ⁠
▪️ Price - $300⁠
⁠
This is the perfect present to share in gifting grandma. Forward this on to your sisters-in-law, as all of grandma’s grandkids are welcome to participate. ⁠
⁠
There are not specific dates you need to have the session, and times are available throughout the year. ⁠
⁠
There is an option to upgrade and purchase more photos, but you don’t need to decide that until after you have viewed the photos. And there is certainly no obligation - the $300 voucher price has you walking away with 5 beautiful photos, no hidden catches. ⁠
⁠
Are you ready to have Mother’s Day wonderfully sorted?

This weekend I get to photograph an 18 month old and her family, who I first met when she was just a newborn. ⁠
⁠
Next week I get to photograph this cutie again. She was just two days old here, but I blinked and now she is one. ⁠
⁠
I love this job.

Okay, let’s have a heart-to-heart. Can we just agree that asking for testimonials is surprisingly hard? I mean, who doesn’t get all flustered and awkward about it? Or just downright forget? 🙋‍♀️ ⁠
⁠
But seriously, your kind words mean the world to me in any format - an email, a handwritten note, or even carrier pigeon (okay, maybe not that last one - birds freak me out!) But I get it - future clients need to see those shiny Google reviews to feel reassured. ⁠
⁠
So, I’m plucking up the gumption and asking my amazing clients: would you consider leaving a Google review for me? Your support means everything and helps others feel confident in choosing to work with me. ⁠
⁠
Thank you from the bottom of my heart! 🌟⁠

There’s something truly magical about capturing the first moments of a newborn’s life. It’s even more special when I get to witness the bond between the new arrival and their older sibling.⁠
⁠
I had the privilege of photographing this Fresh 48 session, not only with the precious baby boy but also with their kind-of-interested big brother. What a heartwarming experience it was! ⁠
⁠
I couldn’t help but reminisce on the previous photo session I had with the big brother when he was a baby. It’s amazing to see how much he has grown and to witness the brand new relationship between the siblings. ⁠
⁠
If you want to relive the joy and sweetness of this heartwarming session, head to my blog where I’ve just shared a new post featuring more delightful photos from this extraordinary experience.
