CREATING ART FROM YOUR EVERYDAY
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 …

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.

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 …
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 …
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 …
These guys actually live in Melbourne but were bringing their boy up to family for Christmas and asked me to spend some time with them capturing some family photos of their first family trip to Sydney. We started at Josh's Mum's place and headed to a nearby park for Emmett's first go on a swing! After a little while in the park it was time to head back …
I have spent a considerable amount of time with this family over the last 18 months. I have photographed Samuel's non-denominational christening, John's 30th birthday cake smash, Samuel's first birthday party and now his second birthday party. It is always a pleasure to spend time with these guys as Emily and John really appreciate the documentary style …
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 …
I spent a morning with the Duck family and it was such a hoot! I knew when mum, Lisa, approached me with her idea that this would be an excellent session. Lisa said she was having a quick shower one school morning and took a moment to look around her, thought about the kind of mornings they have before school and decided THAT is what she wants me to …
My parents are going away for a bit and refused to let me drive them to the airport (which is about a 2.5hr return trip) but let me drop them at the train station five minutes down the road. The girls and I decided to squeeze in some more time with them by staying on the train for a few stops and getting off in time for a morning snack. We haven't had an …
