Photographers need one very important thing to create a photograph, light. Without light we have nothing. When the sun disappears for the day it takes away my favourite thing, it's gorgeous glowing light. Leaving behind it a world of contrast; of highlights and shadows. Last night I ventured out for a few brief minutes to explore this world with my camera and my bestie. Here are the results. xx

As I'm sure my friends & family will attest, I get so wrapped up in finishing my "work photos" that I can take twice as long (or longer...) to get personal & family photos done. But, after slowly whittling away at these, I'm so happy to have had time this long weekend to finish my boyfriends' sisters thirtieth birthday party! How perfectly timed was it that her birthday (almost) fell on the Diner en Blanc in Melbourne, a very cool (& kind of hip) big, posh picnic.

Late last year between Christmas & New Year I had the pleasure to photograph tiny newborn baby Archer & his gorgeous little family. <3 Shot at one of my favourite locations the Adelaide Japanese Gardens, enjoy!

Late last month I had a beautiful, glamorous lingerie shoot on Sellicks beach. Sellicks is great for photo shoots! Not overly busy, long stretches of sand and calm ocean and gorgeous rocks and rock pools. Starting early made sure the weather and light were perfect, with a stunning dramatic sky!

When I shoot engagements, I normally shoot portraits of just the couple celebrating their engagement at a garden or beach. But Tanya & Matt had a great idea of using my engagement package to shoot their engagement party!

This blog post follows on from my previous post "The Flinders 2013 Part 1", but stands alone as a post on one of my all time favourite things! Magic Hour. You may have heard several photographers talk about Magic Hour, and not been quite so sure what they were talking about. What particular hour of the day is magic? Why is it magic?
