Belinda's Free Spirited & Natural Portraits on the Beach
I haven't done many portrait sessions recently, but I think thats got to change! This morning it was my privilege to capture some natural portraits of the gorgeous & free spirited Belinda. It really was such a fun shoot, a morning full of cartwheels, laughs, silly faces and delicious coffee.
Natural Fashion Portraits on the Beach
A free Saturday means free time to go on adventures with your bestie to new & beautiful locations. I love to take artistic and beautiful portraits outdoors, to me you can tell so much more of a story in a beautiful location than you can in a studio. This, of course, isn't without it's lighting challenges. One of the hardest times to take a good photo outdoors is on a bright, hot, sunny day, at midday, with no shade. Just unforgiving, bright, white sunlight beaming straight down on top of you. Yesterday we decided to take up that midday challenge in beautiful Victor Harbour & Port Elliot.
Frolicking in the Rain at Kuitpo Forest
It was an early start for some photos just after sunrise at the beautiful Kuitpo forest. The unexpected rain may have been a bit chilly, but it didn't stop us from having fun with the camera. Enjoy the little sneak peak :)
Mother & Baby Outdoor Picnic Portraits in Adelaide
For lunch today I got to go out for a picnic with good friend & beautiful new mum Kelly. And of course, the cute-as-a-button little baby Emily came along too. I love taking photos outside, surrounded by beautiful, soft light - and Emily loved it too! With so much to look at and puzzle over. Enjoy this little sneak peak of portraits, and I'll share some more soon!
Steph, Craig & Gorgeous Newborn Archer
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!
Glamorous Beach Shoot
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!
Tanya & Matts Engagement Photography
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!
The Flinders Ranges 2013 Part 2: Magic Hour Portraits
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?
