Tamsyn and Mitchell's Creative Engagement Portraits
Tamsyn and Mitchell's Creative Engagement Portraits
Tamsyn, Mitchell and I spent one late Spring arvo together hanging out in the Barossa Valley to capture their engagement portraits. The sun was shining and giving us plenty of light to get creative with. The Barossa Valley is gorgeous with it’s rolling hills, golden fields, creek beds and trees. Congratulations again on your engagement guys! x
Golden light through the gum trees, old stone ruins, dancing and two very good dogs: Court and Lachie’s engagement session at The Pines in Kapunda had room for all of it.
Three generations together for the Ng family’s portraits at Port Willunga beach and Martin’s Barn. Grandparent cuddles, laughter on the sand and time for each family to have photographs of their own.
Kristine and Marti’s post-wedding couple portraits took us from Mount Barker to Bridgewater Mill, with piggybacks, gorgeous old stone buildings and plenty of laughs along the way. And somehow, we managed to find two tunnels!
Sharon and Tom’s family portraits in Adelaide started at home, dogs included, before we headed to the park for a play. Shoulder rides, upside-down grins and three generations together.
After photographing their wedding, I caught up with Dan and Caity for maternity portraits at our little farm in Auburn. Their dogs, Tilly and Sage, joined us for a wander through the scrub and some gorgeous golden light.
A relaxed newborn session at home in Clare, with plenty of time for feeding, settling and cuddles. We followed the beautiful late-afternoon light and let these early days as a family of three unfold.
Lauren and Brent married in this field, and so it was very special for them to be able to come back and take family portraits here with their two little girls. Exploring the forest looking for wild flowers in the conservation park, and cuddling underneath the wedding tree in the paddock while horses looked on.
I loved this portrait session to celebrate Georgia and Levi’s engagement. The sun was warm and lovely, and the location was perfect with gum trees, reeds, tall rock walls and beautiful grasses. And what could be better than finishing up with puppy cuddles?
The early newborn phase is so fleeting (and if we’re honest, a little chaotic as everything changes in the most beautiful of ways!) There is so much joy and excitement to capture, and a whole new little person to meet and document. What a marvellous stage in life!
I love engagement sessions! A more relaxed portrait session celebrating a huge moment in your relationship, just the two of you (and me), out on an adventure, enjoying the beautiful sunshine. They’re just the best!
I adore it when I get to continue documenting a couple’s journey, from their wedding to their pregnancy and their first child. It’s just so special! Sarah and Stew are such lovely and welcoming people, and their baby girl is just too precious. We captured both their newborn and maternity portraits at their home on a little farm. Congratulations again guys!! x
Melissa and Daniel went on an adventure to celebrate their 5 year wedding anniversary, with their awesome little dachshund Peggy. As part of their celebrations they had Em capture some natural and relaxed portraits at one of my favourite beaches, Maslin Beach. A lovely walk through an old quarry that leads to the dog friendly part of the beach and some gorgeous scenes. A special place to hang out and enjoy the company of loved ones without the hustle and bustle of the more popular local beaches. Enjoy the rest of your adventures guys!! x
Every time we take family portraits involving everyone, (adult kids included), I’m reminded how special and important family is. We often document our early days as a family, when the children are little and we’re just finding out feet. But celebrating a history of memories as we grow into adults ourselves is so special as well. (Each time we do a session like this, I just want to grab my own family and do the same!) Thanks so much for having us to capture these memories for you guys! x
I love capturing family portraits! It means I get to see beautiful families grow and personalities blossom. It’s especially lovely when we get to hang out on a beautifully sunny day in a very natural space full of trees and things to explore. This was a beautiful little session spent exploring the scrub, some old farm ruins and jumping from rock to rock. So lovely to spend time with your beautiful family again Erin and Dave. x

Ten years after I photographed Katie and Chris’s wedding at Serafino, we returned with their two girls for a relaxed family session filled with races, cuddles, beautiful chaos and one spectacular Port Willunga sunset.
