Way back in oct last year, St Joseph’s Primary School held their annual Golf day to raise funds for the school. I donated a family portrait and Jo and her husband Ryan were the highest bidders on the night – hurrah!
So, here is what we got up to on their photo shoot. Thanks Jo, it was lovely meeting you and your adorable family! Thanks again for your very generous donation. Now you have gorgeous pics of your gorgeous kids for them to enjoy for generations…
I had met Steph and Jesse very briefly at the Novotel Wollongong Bridal expo last year, so I was super excited to shoot their engagement pics so I could have a proper chat to them!
We went to one of my fave spots to shoot – Sandon Point and we had a ball.
It was a busy Saturday for me with the Coady’s being my last portrait shoot for the afternoon at Sandon Point. Third time’s a charm! We had tried on three previous occasions to get this shoot done, but the weather had other ideas. So we were all very happy when the sun turned on finally!
Melissa and Aaron’s big day caused me a few sleepless nights! After all this time shooting weddings, I had never before encountered a live Barn Owl delivering the rings during the ceremony. So the pressure was on!
The owl was a spectacular success and the shot was captured – I could again breathe! Phew! The ceremony at Lilli Pilli Point was perfect. Aarron wanted to specially feature their three gorgeous Chev’s during the photo shoot, so we headed down to Tom Ugly’s bridge for some serious fun. The whole day was beautifully capped off by a huge party at the Rydges Cronulla.
Thanks Mel & Aarron, you’ve tested my mettle today, but I had one of the most fun days with you all! All my love for a wonderful marriage.

Last year I was delighted to photograph Samara’s 2nd Birthday celebrations, so when mum Jackie rang me to capture this year’s extravaganza, I said “giddy up!”
Held at the amazing Fairground Follies at St Peters, Samara’s party was expertly overseen by Sugar Crumb Parlour who not only planned the whole event, but supplied staff, catering and the lolly bar! The highlight was the extroardinary cake by Blissfully Sweet that even had a motorised top teir that spun around!
It was an amazing afternoon and Samara is one lucky girl! Jackie, you’ve outdone yourself this year, I can’t wait to see what you come up with next year!
These two lovebirds are tying the knot in March and I can’t wait to capture their big day at Tumbling Waters…
Nicole and Daniel are getting married this March in Wollongong by the beach. So, we thought we’d do something completely different for their engagement shoot. So into the Rocks we went and down came the rain! Not to be deterred, these guys were real troopers and so we soldiered on to get some beautiful shots in the perfect lighting that comes with the rain.
Ben contacted me just before Xmas to arrange a baby portrait voucher for his partner Tania for Xmas. Baby Kai arrived right on Christmas Day – what better Xmas present could there be!
I always love to stay in touch with my Brides and Grooms way past their wedding day. So I was chuffed when Skye & Glenn called on me to capture their very first baby – a beautiful baby girl named Addison. Congratulations guys!
With half a dozen or so kids between them, Liz & Greg had a family-orientated wedding filled with love and laughter. They were married at Jannali Anglican Church and had a delightful morning tea in the yard before we headed down to Audley for a beautiful shoot with just the three of us. So many “second time around” couples make the mistake of thinking that photography by a professional isnt as important as it was perhaps the first time. Liz and Greg both sought me out becuase they not only appreciated my work, but they also understood the importance of capturing such a momentus life event professionally because their wedding is not less important than their first weddings.
