The "B" Family - Wollongong Family Photographer

What can I say, I am one incredibly lucky person to be able to have a job that I absolutely love and be a newborn and family and photographer that my clients continue to return to. These guys I now am proud to call my friends.

I have watched their first born Airlie grow and become a big sister, I have captured Ally's pregnancy with Betty, her newborn and 6 month photos and now her 1 year images, plus a couple of extended family sessions. To be honest, words cannot describe what this type of loyalty means to me and I am SO thankful for it and even more thankful that I get to make amazing friendships with my clients. 

The Bates family are so easy going and relaxed and we always have loads of laughs when we are together. We once again headed to "The Farm" at Killalea State Park, which is where they love to spend their time. We played, danced, sang, picked flowers and tickled our way through the late afternoon. When Airlie was a baby, we captured an image with them on the tailgate for the car they purchased on their honeymoon in Queensland and restored. At this session, we updated that image to include Betty. 

Thank you to the Bates family for allowing me to once again capture your gorgeous family. I am so thankful to call you my friends.

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

No matter where your family are in the world, they will always be family and it is important to capture moments together. 

That is exactly what the 'F' family did when their parents visited Wollongong for Christmas all the way from the UK. 

When Anna contacted me about capturing some speical moments for them while her parents in law were here from the UK I was super excited, even more so when they wanted to include their puppy in the session. Choosing a location was easy and I learnt why at our session. Anna requested Fisherman's Beach at Port Kembla, a secluded little cove just below Hill 60. I grew up in Wollongong and never knew it existed! At the session they explained the importance of this beach, when they were first in Australia looking for their new home, her husband and father in law discovered this little gem of a spot and did some fishing here, that was 4 years go and the last time they were together in Australia. 

We had loads of fun playing, running around, climbing the sand bank and sharing memories. I loved that I was able to capture some beautiful loving moments of Mark and his parents together, the emotion and love that was showing was moving. 

Thank you for allowing my to capture some very precious memories for you all.

If you would like family images that are full of love, fun and laughs then I would love to chat with you, you can contact me here.

Baby M - Wollongong Newborn Photographer

Newborn sessions capture those life changing chapters in a family's story. If you think about it, our lives are story books, with each moment or adventure adding a chapter and those everyday mundane moments are the beautifully written paragraphs in those chapters. 

In home newborn sessions create a chapter through images, they capture the home where you first bought your child home to, the place where many first happen, the place where you bond and will watch them grow. It is the place you will never forget and will always be connected to because of what small moments happen there. Having your newborn images in your homes creates a tangible memory of these moments, one day that might be all that is left. 

Relaxed, love filling newborn images that are real are what I strive to give families for their stories.  Contact me here if you would like to chat about how I can create images like this for you.

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

On a hot summers day in Wollongong, just before Christmas, I met up with the 'J' family at Port Kembla Beach. 

It was a bit earlier in the day than what I normal shoot but that didn't stop us from having fun.
We played, ran around, ate sand, laughed and chatted about life. It turned out that their daughter was my daughter's buddy at school. Thank you for allowing me to capture your beautiful family.

Baby 'N' - Wollongong Newborn Photographer

In the hills of Wollongong, NSW lives a beautiful and fun family of 5 who I caught up with to capture their life with their newest family member. 

The D family welcomed me into their beautiful family home to capture their newest little babe in a lifestyle newborn session. I love these sessions, they are in the comfort of your own home where everyone is relaxed and usually more themselves. I really love capturing everyday moments and what life is like within newborn sessions. We played games, shopkins monopoly, tickled and tackled dad and chatted about life and our babes. 

It is true what they say, the days are long but the years are quick and one day all our children will have left of us is memories and photos so be sure you get in them. 

Thank you D family for welcoming me into your home and being yourselves. 

If you would like to capture some memories of your beautiful family in your home, I would love to hear from you. I also love to travel! You can chat to me here. 

Warmly
