Much sand, not much sun…
Izzy didn’t have much luck catching seagulls at this beach side family portrait session but we did catch a lot of smiles 🙂
Noodle – the strangest looking puppy in the world!
I love puppies and I love a challenge. Noodle is not your average fluffy puppy and seriously does not stay still. When her mum asks you to capture her good side, well, you do your best!
Losing weight is a sh!t new year’s resolution
With every intent to offend your sensibilities – please tell me you didn’t set the generic ‘to lose weight’ new year’s resolution? Losing weight is a sh!t goal. Strong is the new black. Fit and healthy are worthy ambitions but losing weight for weight loss sake is craptastic. Why do you want to lose weight?…
Like rain on your wedding day…
An intimate wedding… in the recent torrential rain. Although the ceremony was moved indoors, the rain stopped long enough to get some bridal party portraits in the original park location. Thank you for involving me in your amazing day.
On the success of others…
Do you have a few of those things that you’ve hated yourself for doing all your life and have wanted to change or maybe accept? As I reflect on my 40th birthday tomorrow (yup, 40 with a toddler – that was always my white picket fence dream… erm not…) As I reflect (oh – but…
Engineer Emma

Backyard Adventures
Gorgeous sunshine to shoot this gorgeous family. Clever mummy and daddy had a heap of activities ready to go for loads of fun and heaps of great photos!

Skating in three dimensions…
Decided my skating whilst baby wearing skills are not skate park ready so grabbed the camera on my way out the door – its like a magic pass that lets you stay in the action without wearing wheels. Challenges included the weather fluctuating from bright sun to overcast; me walking up a ramp then having…
Lovable Lex
This little guy shares the best smiles – when the camera is away! He made the cutest elf, loves star wars and was working so hard that he had to take a mid shoot plus end shoot drinks break!
Winning and losing doesn’t rely on the score…
I’ve had the most epic of epic weekends and have the bruises to prove it! Â I’ve also learnt a lot. Â And also epically, it fits under all of my blog categories: photography, roller derby, parenting… I reckon I can squeeze in a gender stereotype reference and we’re all covered! The Rebellion Melbourne roller derby tournament…
Raw but still good…
I’m very much a believer in imperfect is just perfect. Â An image that captures emotion, personality, relationships has much more going for it than the forced smile shot, even if it has better lighting or a prettier backdrop. Â Raw can be powerful. Â I’ve a couple of raw images I adore because they allow me to…
