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

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

Ainsely received this portrait sesesioni as a beautiful gift from her Aunt, a nice way to create a time capsule of her early twenties. I love sessions like this! It’s a great time to remember and celebrate, whilst having the added bonus of boosting self confidence. I like to think of them as self-love-sessions.

When Rosa, Paul & I started this little hike - we weren’t planning to do the full thing. I thought I’d take them through the beautiful scrub, past the echidnas home to the look out. And then, depending on how we felt - down to the gorge to see the river, but with every intention of heading back up the way we had come. Thing is, a session with me is never just a photography session. If there is even the slightest chance that we might be able to have an adventure as well, I won’t help but be able to encourage it.

Some days the inspiration just hits, and you’d be silly not to take advantage of it. I LOVE finding beauty in unique and unexpected places. From random stops along the road to hidden alley ways, especially at golden hour. When the character of light grows deep and warm.

Winter is slowly trying to make way for Spring, and the day of Erin, Luke, cute-as-a-button Hazel and loyal dog Remi’s portrait session was a perfect example of that. With the recent rain the ground was damp, the sky was soft and water ran freely through little creeks. All while the sun and small flowers gently tried to poke their heads out. It made the atmosphere calm and lovely, and absolutely perfect for cuddles! Remi was adorable, constantly on the lookout for roos to protect the family from. And little Hazel was just so content, only ready to bring the giggles for the most silly of play - or her fluffy little caterpillar. (So cute!!) I also could not resist capturing her funny little face at the end of the session, scroll to the end to check it out. I would also pull a similar face if encouraged to laugh for an hour straight. Haha!

It was such a delight to meet Sharon, Tom & gorgeous little Jamie with his huge smile. We spent some time at Linear Park walking the trail, checking out the gum trees and chasing tame pigeons whilst pointing out the shyer ducks. Enjoying beautifully natural family portraits. Before heading home for a few photos with their adorable dogs Indi & Gracie. Precious family portraits to share with family overseas and cherish forever. Thanks for having me! x

Though sad I wasn’t available to capture Shih & Joanne’s little wedding, I was thrilled that we could catch up the day afterwards to capture some beautiful wedding portraits around Adelaide! We started in the Adelaide Hills on the hunt for the last of the Autumn colours. Then heading on to Kuitpo Forest, hunting for mushrooms among the pine trees and marvelling at the beautiful views from dirt roads. And finishing at Blanche Point, the gorgeous cliffs overlooking the ocean. The sky and light soft as the sun gently set behind the clouds. Such a gorgeous afternoon! Thanks for having me and a huge congrats again! xo

This family portrait session was a beautiful mother’s day gift for Lucy from her husband Kaes. I captured their wedding day in 2018 and so it was special to be able to share and capture this next big milestone in their journey together. And to meet Tobias of course, who is adorable!! We kept the session natural and relaxed, first at home and then at a nearby park as the sun slowly set to that beautiful orange glow that I love. Thanks for having me again guys! Was such a pleasure. xo

I don’t think you need a reason to take beautiful family portraits, but Nathania and her family had a pretty good one! Celebrating being back together as a family after her husband Josh ended up being stuck away and unable to watch his girls grow for a full 11 months. :( Thankfully, despite the craziness of Covid, they’re now back together. We captured the joy of that and of them as a family, with Nathania’s parents involved as well. It was a special session. Thank you so much for having me to capture these moments for you. xo
