Here are pictures of Riley in pink looking and being Riley. And there are pictures of Riley not in pink looking and being Riley. They’re clothes, not a description of her preferences and personality. Their function is not dependent on her gender! We’re getting to the stage where things outside of our little family unit…
I took some mid-winter family portraits with one of the loveliest families I’ve ever met . Usually I reject shots for blinking and talking but had to add hair obscuring faces to the list on this cold and blustery day. There was one person not super interested in being photographed but was easily distracted by…
Was a pleasure to shoot Jane from U Shine Resumes at her personal branding session creating images to refresh her website and social media content – plus there were puppy hugs! A personal branding package is more than just traditional headshots. We can include your work area, how you work, lifestyle shots, detailed shots of…
but I’m not photogenic… Photogenic: A subject (generally a person) is photogenic if appearing aesthetically or physically attractive or appealing in photographs. “But I’m not photogenic” you declare. I call bulls**t! This translates to ‘I’m not comfortable in my skin’ (and why are you judging your self worth on your appearance anyways?!?) Not liking how you look…
I was very excited to be invited to photograph for The Babes Project again. These guys not only do amazing work supporting soon to be mums, but are also so very welcoming of Riley when she comes packed with my cameras. The Rewriting Motherhood Forum was another stellar event providing inspiration, laughter and empowerment through…
Was great fun to do some product photography over the last couple of weeks for Tangs Design. These gorgeous earrings are handmade in their Canberra studio. With nature as inspiration I used flowers and fallen leaves to style the shots. I am now ninja level expert at balancing earrings on floral arrangements! The usual scenario is…
When did I become that mum that would rather clean up her mess than stop her making it? When I follow her around the supermarket saying ‘Sorry’ and ‘Just go around’ versus wrestling her into the trolley? Where I end up buying the jar of sprinkles she’s been using as maracas during the entire shopping…
My best tip for amazing headshots? Let your inner confidence shine. So often the lighting, the pose, the smile – everything in a photo is perfect except the glint of fear or self doubt in the eyes of the subject. “But I’m not photogenic!” you declare, “And I hate getting in front of a camera…” Then…
A new baby is the perfect reason to book a family portrait session. And there is nothing cuter than a new baby, except maybe her older sister lovingly hugging and kissing her.
These guys trusted me to capture their day their way, were super welcoming of my little side kick and said awesome things afterwards: “HOLY FREAKIN’ WOW!!!! Love, love, LOVE our photos!!!! Thank you so much for capturing “us”! The quirkiness and personality is just pouring out of these images! I knew you would be the…
Well that seriously escalated! I am so proud, humbled, grateful, inspired – all the feels – to be involved in the This Girl Can VIC campaign although I’m not sure I fully understood the scale of it all until today. https://www.instagram.com/p/BgvFMuLnvmZ/?taken-by=thisgirlcanvic I sent in an audition video in answer to a facebook casting call back…
This year’s International Women’s Day theme #PressforProgress was a perfect fit with The Babes Project mission to empower a generation of strong mothers to raise great children. Not only was the brunch spread spectacular but the work they do too: with mother’s who have been supported by the Babes sharing their stories and the importance…
