A celebration of the transition to womanhood – Canberra Portrait Photographer

admin — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 04:53:35 +0000

About a month ago I photographed this beautiful coming of age party for this gorgeous young woman. When her mum contacted me she wanted to do something really special to mark this important transition in her daughter’s life. She wanted this to be a celebration of the people who helped shape her life and an acknowledgment that from now Camilla is starting her journey into womanhood where she will grow her own family and circle of friends. The party was an intimate family lunch with her closest family and friends around her. The people who were not able to make it shared their thoughts about Camilla in letters which were given to her and then read out. One of the gifts she was given was a pearl ring. This I learned has become a family tradition as her mother gave her a pearl ring on her 18th birthday and her mother before that and they think even before that. So they think it might have started with Camilla’s great great grandmother.

This was truly a special moment to be part of. I love jobs like this where there is true connection and heartfelt love. It reaffirms why I chose to do what I do. Thank you. xox

How angelic is a sleeping baby? I could watch them for hours. This little one was asleep when I arrived. Luckily he woke up with a beautiful smile on his face.

This beautiful little man just wasn’t going to be in it the first time I came to photograph this family. We got a few frames in and he told us in no uncertain terms that he did not want to be photographed. A couple of weeks later and he had changed his mind and we had a delightful time with lots of smiles, hugs and two adoring parents.

I photographed this little man a few weeks ago. I had a lovely time playing in the back yard with him and his Mum (who was initially a bit hesitant to be in the photos but I am so glad she decided to join in because the images are beautiful). Thank you for a fun morning. xox

Autumn leaves in Canberra – Fun Family Portrait

admin — Tue, 04 May 2010 03:31:08 +0000

I had a beautiful morning with this gorgeous, energetic family. They originate from the UK and are here for a few years just to have a different experience of living somewhere else. They wanted a Canberra feel without being too iconic. We went to one of their favourite places to play, the gardens at Old Parliament House and at this time of the year the autumn leaves are spectacular. I got so many fantastic images it was hard to choose what to share here. Hope you enjoy them.

Fun in the Sunset | Canberra Portrait Photographer

The other evening I had a fast, frantic, fun time doing some photos with my good friend and awesome photographer Hilary. We have been meaning to do this for a long time. She photographed me (portraits coming soon to my website) and I photographed her and her very energetic son. It was really hard to keep up with him. Thank god for autofocus I say.

The last time I did some portraits for Hilary was over 10 years ago. She was a final year photography student and I had just finished and she asked me to do some portraits of her for her promotional material. This was back in the day of medium format cameras, studio lighting and film and I was so nervous. Consequently I stuffed up and underexposed the film. I was too embarrassed to tell her so I got the lab to do a bit of magic and luckily we were able to pull out a shot she could use. This time I have to say I was almost as nervous but I think I got some fun images. Thank you my beautiful friend I am really excited to use the images you created of me and I hope you like these. xxx

This beautiful little one was the happiest little baby I think I have ever photographed. From the moment I got there she squealed with laughter. Oh what joy!

Yet Another Beautiful Family | Canberra Family Photographer

What a great job I have. So many wonderful images so hard to choose (if I do say so myself). This couple were so gentle and caring towards each other and their two gorgeous children. Both are school teachers and he is also a talented artist. A tiny snippet of his work is below however there were so many beautiful pieces on their walls. Thank you to you both for inviting me to create these images for you. Enjoy xox.
