Christmas Photos minus Santa

Christmas Photos minus Santa

Loved this family Christmas portrait session (and personally prefer the final photos over queuing up for hours to sit on Santa’s knee at the local shopping centre).

Now there is the challenge of where to take the Christmas tree next year! Also love how welcoming this family is with my assistant/daughter Riley… as you can see she’s joined them in a few shots!

If you want to capture your own Christmas traditions and have beautiful images of memories that you can cherish – I’d love to photograph them. Contact me so I can join you on your adventures…

Family Fun

This shoot was so much fun – there was football, soccer, jumping, synchronised cartwheels, recreating an image from ten years ago and genuine care for each other. There were plenty of color shots in there, my favorites just happen to be the black and whites.

Mini Minnie

I love capturing the bond between pets and their owners. This little gal has filled this house and heart with joy and is so independent yet cuddly all at the same time. And its not just kids that grow up fast, this little girl was a lot smaller a short few weeks ago. Lucky the camera can freeze time.

How very cool is inner city living?

Active Albert

I had a blast at this photo shoot. We headed to one of Albert’s favorite locations and off he went! Not sure I’ve had to do some much running during a session before! (Specially whilst baby wearing!!) Behind the scenes shot taken by his mum included below as well 🙂

Workout Wonder Woman

Miranda — Sun, 23 Sep 2018 13:19:39 +0000

Feeling very inspired by Louise who worked so hard to get this healthy and then celebrated with a gym photoshoot… Okay so not that inspired that I’d actually consider a gym recreationally or eat less carbs… but the kinda ‘you go girl, I’m gunna have one less donut today’ kinda inspired.

In all seriousness though – it was amazing to see how committed she was to her personal goals and how the end result empowered her.

And she set me a challenge: an unedited image to send off for the Oxygen Magazine Covergirl contest. Nothing strikes more fear into a photographer in this digital age than not being able to edit a shot. Don’t get me wrong – I’ll always aim for perfect straight from camera to minimise editing time – and I’m not into changing a person’s shape or features but I do like knowing I can tweak an image if it’s not technically perfect. ⠀

We also needed a light background and was so glad we found a plain grey concrete wall outside the gym. The gent moving fruit in the forklift behind us asked when I’d photograph him. I said when he had a pink bikini to pose in 😛

Windy mid-winter portraits on the pier

Miranda — Wed, 25 Jul 2018 05:02:02 +0000

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 her uncle picking up her grandmother and going for a run!

Just perfect in pink…

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.

A most glamorous paddock

Miranda — Mon, 26 Feb 2018 23:23:49 +0000

I think it makes sense to schedule a personal project shoot now and then – to learn and to let your imagination and creativity run free. This one has been sitting in the back of my mind for a while now combining family portraits with some Vanity Fair glam and using the gorgeous light in the late afternoon, with some scrubby grass and an arm chair in a paddock. It was fun and I love the results and I can’t wait to do it again using all the lessons learnt. Big thanks to my two most favorite people who modeled 🙂

More kids means more smiles!

You’re never short of a smile (or a shot) when there are six kids running around their backyard!
