Maddie & Harry's wedding was a very me memorable one for me, not just because of the crazy weather! But also because of how beautiful they and their family are inside and out. With genuine love, smiles and affection for each other. So when they said that they were visiting SA again with their beautiful new son Beau and Maddie's parents Sharon & Peter, I was very excited to be asked to capture some family portraits for them! :)

Last night I met an absolutely delightful soul, and captured some natural head shots for her and her publisher. Lia is a friend of a friend, and she has been described to me as a local female entrepreneur, bike shop owner, and published author of the awesomely funny “the Fortunes of Ruby White”. She is the BEST cook and loves gardening. Meeting her with glass of red in hand, beautiful friend by her side, and a smile that could light up an entire room, it was instantly evident that she is an amazing woman!

On lovely sunny Friday afternoon I caught up with the sweetest, cutest couple, Jen & Trent at Semaphore Beach for some engagement portraits. It was a gloriously sunny afternoon, and we took full advantage of Semaphores charm, from the beach, to the jetty, to the scrubby dunes and the old tram station. I even had a little play with my physics prism to add some rainbows. It was a great afternoon, and I cannot wait for their wedding in March! xx

If you’re a follower of my blog, than you’ll know I’m repeating myself when I say I absolutely adore our South Australian coastline. Drive less than an hour south and you’re presented with rustic fields, rocky outcrops, rolling hills, pristine water, rugged coastline and oh so much adventure!

On the weekend I visited Canberra! A place I'd spent part of my childhood growing up, and the now home of my sister and her family, as well as some old friends. Whilst visiting Canberra I was thrilled to catch up with two of those good friends; Kelly, Dane and their gorgeous little family at the National Botanic Gardens.

Recently on a warm and partly sunny afternoon I had the pleasure of catching up with Maggie, Anthony and their fur baby Barry to capture some engagement portraits at the Blackwood Forest Recreation Park. The Blackwood forest recreation park is such a great spot for portraits, from it’s rolling fields covered in wild flowers to the old, tall pine forest the gently bent and creaked in the wind as it swayed high above our heads.

On a gloriously warm and sunny Sunday I had the pleasure of capturing a big moment in Lukas’ life, as well as his parents! Life is full of special moments, and Andreea loves to capture all of them in beautiful photography. So when she came back to Adelaide to christen her son Lukas, there was no doubt that it was a moment highly worthy of capturing.

This is my first year in review post, not because I've had nothing to share, but because I've always found it waaaayyyyy too hard to choose what to share. It's hard enough to choose which 50-100 photos per wedding to share on each of their blog posts. Let alone which one photo from each session to bring together in one end of year blog post. This year however, I can't help but share!

When you start a shoot with the question "how adventurous are you?", and you end the shoot with the excited exclamation "we're alive!!". You know that it's bound to have been full of awesome(ness).

After capturing Jess & Brad's beautiful wedding in October this year, I was thrilled to use their engagement session to capture some beautiful, natural family photos after things quietened down a little. (Just in time for Christmas too!)
