The 'C' Family - Wollongong and Southern Highlands Family Photographer

I first met Rachel, Dave and their four boys when I did their youngest's newborn session, a whole 3 years ago! I was thrilled when Rachel contacted me again to capture their family now and their story of what 10 years of married life looks like. 

We headed to their favourite place and enjoyed playing games, making silly noises, playing in the water and really just being ourselves. 

Happy 10 year anniversary guys, you have created a beautiful life and family, here is to the next 10!

Rachel - Wollongong and Southern Highlands Newborn Photographer

"With every morning, my heart blossoms with a growing love for you that will never end" - Rachel 

Rachel and Ben have a blossoming love that shines so brightly that anyone who is in their presence can feel. They are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their precious baby who should arrive earth side any week now and I cannot wait to see how much that love grows and shines. 

Rachel and Ben, thank you for allowing me to capture this special time for you both. 

If you would like to capture your special life moments, I would love to chat to you. You can contact me here. 

Canberra Adventure - Wollongong Family Photographer

In the April school holidays, we decided to go on an adventure to Canberra to celebrate a successful 1st term of kindergarten and have some quality family time.

We booked our hotel, jumped in the car and started our adventure. We arrived at the hotel and order pizza in for dinner, chilled on the bed and watched movies. The following morning the girls woke excited to go on an adventure and explore. We headed to Manuka Village and found Urban Panty where we enjoyed a delicious breakfast. 

We then headed to Questacon, as you can see the girls were pretty excited. This was our first visit to Questacon, we had become members at Wollongong Science Centre and Planetarium which gave us entry into Questacon (and also something to do in the next school holidays). We thought we would be here a couple of hours, well, weren't we wrong. We ended up staying most of the day. It is so interactive for all ages and the girls really loved exploring the different exhibits. 

After Questacon, we went for a drive and explored the areas around the lake (the girls slept the whole time). We ended up driving to the National Arboretum, Canberra where we were told about an awesome park, and yep! it's awesome. The Pod park is like nothing I have seen before, the girls ran off without hesitation to go and explore. This park is a MUST if you are ever in Canberra. 

Day 3 was all about finding cool parks to play at. We headed over to Boundless Playground, we had a scooter ride along the lake and over to National Carillon where we listened to the beautiful chimes. We explored the parklands and playground but the girls just kept asking for one thing, "Can we go back to the Acorn park (Pod Park)?" How could we say no. So off we went before we headed home. This little getaway was just what the family needed, some time together, just chilling and exploring, refreshing ourselves and creating awesome memories. For those heading to Canberra anytime soon. I highly recommend Questacon and The Pod Park. 

The R Family - Wollongong Family Photographer

When my dear friend and fellow photographer Natalie from Nina Photography enquired with me about a family session I felt so honored and nervous and of course said YES! 

After countless days/weeks of rain and many reschedules we finally got to hang out and have some fun. Nat, Aleks and their two gorgeous boys are a family that are full of love, laughter and craziness. The love and connection that they all share beams out of them. We were blessed with some fog on the horizon which made for an epic sunset. 

Here is what Nat had to say. "Thank you for a fun time at our session and for our gorgeous images. I don't just love my photos. I adore, cherish and am in love with my photos. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you."

If you would like a relaxed, fun and enjoyable afernoon out with me and get some real, playful and moment filled images in the process, get in touch with me here.

Freya + Neave - Southern Highlands Newborn Photographer

I headed to the Southern Highlands to shoot an in-home lifestyle newborn session. You may remember Paris and Al's maternity session (you can see it here). 

Freya and Neave decided that they didn't want to wait any longer and decided to come early. After a short stay in NICU, Paris and Al finally got to bring their precious girls home. I have to admit, watching Paris and Al with their baby girls bought back a lot of memories for me. It is hard to believe that my girls were that tiny to once. I really enjoyed watching Paris and Al be so calm and relaxed and taking everything in their stride. 

I would love to capture this special time in your families life, please contact me here for more information. 

Paris + Al Maternity Session - Southern Highlands Newborn Photographer

Having a baby is a blessing, having two at once is a miracle. This Southern Highlands maternity in home session was beautiful despite the rain. 

When Paris contacted me about capturing her twin pregnancy and their newborn images. I was so excited. Being a twin mummy myself, I know how exciting and nerve wracking the journey is. We had planned a beautiful bush session at a local rain forest, however the weather had different ideas. The day of their maternity session it was raining and Robertson had its famous "Robbo mist", we improvised and moved the session to their beautiful dream home. When the rain lifted enough for us to head outside, we grabbed the umbrella's and headed out to capture the mist and their beautiful surroundings. 

Thank you Paris and Al for allowing me to tell your pregnancy journey. I cannot wait to see what story you have when your little babes are here. 

Update: The twins are here! see their gorgeous newborn session on the blog here.
