The top images of Ava were taken in January when we took the girls to see their first movie at the cinema. They loved the experience, but they also loved the popcorn! Now every time we have a movie night at home Ava insists we make popcorn, so it’s becoming a bit of a ritual...
Today I am grateful for… Saturday morning brekky… & for miss 2 who kindly offers to help mix & taste test the batter… and for the little hands that appeared in front of me when I was cooking & so sweetly brought me a cup of tea… (even though reaching up to the bench wasn’t easy) & for home...
They were expecting a boy, they had named ‘her’ Jack, but after endless hours of labour, a little girl entered the world & they named her Gabriella. She’s just turned 5, she’s often the loudest person in the room, she loves pink, she dressed her self for this photo shoot… and she knows what it is to dance &...
It’s like a blind date when I arrive at a session to photograph a family I have never met before. I showed up to this session & then realised that since I have no idea what they look like, all I could do was just stand there hoping they would recognise me because I am...
A record of the day Anouk turned two. She was straight out of bed & first on her agenda was cooking up a storm in the play kitchen Sometimes I can’t believe the amount of play these two fit in between waking up & eating breakfast… It was a normal day, with no particular plans,...

Fuelled by...
Last weekend we were out hunting for locations for a couple of up coming shoots and letting the kids play along the way. They were having such a good time. The moon was in the sky & they didn’t want to stop playing. I love the pace of weekends. The feeling that...
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...
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....
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?
