My turn in front of the camera | Documentary Family Photography Session

February 18, 2018 //  by Penelope Hale

Recently, a fellow documentary family photographer and I did a session trade.  We swapped an eight hour documentary session of each other's family.  The Hales (that's us) were up first as we were moving away shortly and Sharon (of Sharon Troy-Baldwin Photography) was able to fit us in before the move.  It is something I will be forever grateful for because …

This year I am participating in a blog circle.  I was unable to post for January due to my computer being in a box in a shipping container in a warehouse so here I am with my first contribution!  I am proudly joining a group of photographers who either shoot ten images on the tenth day of each month or curate ten images from the previous month. Follow the …

Relocation Part Two | Documenting the move to Newcastle

February 5, 2018 //  by Penelope Hale

  This post covers the period of time at our temporary accommodation.  At this stage, we hadn't secured a rental property so the length of stay here was unknown but to save space (and perhaps a touch of optimism) we packed a weeks worth of clothes, a few toys for the girls, a few books for me and Josh's work clothes as he was due to start in a few …

February 4, 2018 //  by Penelope Hale

Relocation | Part One Moving house.  Moving to a new house, new city,  new school, new preschool, new everything.  I wanted to make images of the move to use it as a way not only to document the process but to sort through the emotions I was anticipating.  I am a sentimental and emotional person and thought this move out of our family home, the first …

Kenzie | Newborn Documentary Session

October 24, 2017 //  by Penelope Hale

Sometimes the smallest things take the most room in your heart. - A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh   Kenzie, what a beautiful little girl you are.  It is clear that you have taken up residence in a very large portion of Mum and Dad's hearts.   So much of new parenthood involves repetition; activities like pacing up and down the kitchen or …

What is Family Documentary Photography?

October 20, 2017 //  by Penelope Hale

It is your family, real and unposed. The love, laughs, tantrums and tears.          They are relaxed and fun sessions that reflect your unique family. No need to stress about perfect outfits, perfect smiles and perfectly behaved children. My philosophy is that your family perfect just as you are, no matter what that looks or sounds …

Rebecca and Daryl | Wedding at Kooindah Waters

May 23, 2017 //  by Penelope Hale

I had the pleasure of first meeting Rebecca and Daryl a few years ago to take pictures of their gorgeous boy Jude when he was a two months old.  Recently I was also able to photograph another major event in their lives - their wedding day!  At Jude's newborn session, there was a superhero theme and that snuck in to the wedding as well with the …

March 14, 2017 //  by Penelope Hale

Stacy and Greg Stacy contacted me requesting a shorter coverage of three hours for a small wedding witnessed by only nearest and dearest. It was to be a cocktail reception at The Signals Room, a function area that is nestled under the acclaimed Burnt Orange Cafe in Mosman. Stacy told me that she and Greg had shed many of the usual traditions and trappings …
