Just a peek at this session. Cathie is a school teacher and the mother of four, now adult children. The instigation behind this session was that recently she had to take a photo of her family in to show her class & the children told her the photo wasn’t a legit ‘family photo’ because she wasn’t actually in it herself. Fuelled by…
Last weekend we were out hunting around for the right locations for a couple of up coming shoots and letting the kids play along the way. They were having such a good time, that the moon was in the sky & they didn’t want to stop playing. I love the pace of weekends. The…

Hello, I am a new follower here and have just found your blog and your photography is beautiful. I have been scrolling through you photos and am in awe of the emotion you feel when looking at them. Can I ask where abouts is the heart on the footpath?

Hi Janine, Thank you so much for your lovely comments!! and for taking the time to look through our work.
The heart on the path is in Bronte on a path as you head up from Bronte park (behind the beach) to the road.
Have a great day.

Anouk will turn two this week. I’m planning a small party for later this month to celebrate. The tradition I have had until now is to ask Ava what sort of party she would like & then we have a little celebration that represents what ever her favourite thing is at that age. When Ava…
Priceless conversations – so wonderful that you will never forget them!
Some afternoon tea on the back deck, some jam, some tea, some story time, some cheekiness, some giggles, some favourite toys, some somersaults, some twirling and some beautiful light. This entire session was held at this families home. A beautiful family with two children named Zac & Holly who are curious, clever & as cute as could be….
Darlin you are a BEAUTIFUL portrait photographer! These are lovely. x
Thanks Eri, you’re too kind! xx
A collection of images gathered from both mine & Pete’s iphone’s. I love the idea of picture making and creativity being integrated into everyday life. Are you an iphoneographer?
Totally agree with your comment “I love the idea of picture making and creativity being integrated into everyday life”!!! I am a bit of an iphone photographer, only because it’s so easy and the phone is always handy. But I am not sure what to do with the photos as I am not great at editing them and they are not always great quality. Love love LOVE what you have done with these though! Would make a great mini-poster for home.
Hi Jo, thanks for your comment. No need to worry about editing, none of these images are edited, we used iphone app’s for all of them, then they are all straight from the camera, to the computer, to the blog. (only via photoshop for me to story board them). I approach iphone photography a bit like a polaroid photograph, where the picture is what it is. There are some people who do amazing editing to their iphone images too though. One idea if you are taking lots of iphone images is to get them all onto your computer & then create a photo book out of them. If you are taking them all the time then they would hold the story of your days in them. You can play with different apps, or get different looks in your images by just playing around with different types of light.
ps. my 4 year old took the image in the top right corner.. that’s me thinking, while at the computer with my thinking arms on my head & Ava snapped it!
They’re cute! Is that my munchkin holding hands with Ava (looks like her hair from behind)? I’m glad you explained the thinking photo cause I was somewhat bemused as to the pose! Now that you’ve explained it, I see what’s going on.
I love the block construction! And wow great photo by Ava. xx
Yes Katrina, that is your munchkin holding hands with my munchkin. If you look closely there is also a picture of your husband in there too 
It’s interesting to let your child take pictures & then look through what they capture. You see yourself through their eyes. I was surprised at how serious I must look when she walks into the room & I am deep in thought, working.

Hey Lis. Great images! How nice to not have to wrangle children for a change. I hoped these adults behaved themselves for you.
hope… not hoped. bleh. I need a coffee.
Thanks Jess. Very different dynamic without kiddies at a shoot that’s for sure.
