Last week I got to meet Noah Wilson. Like many of my newborn sessions, it took place in the family home. It was beautiful to see how proud Mia is to be a big sister and how well their mum is doing. Congratulations to Michelle and Claeg, your family is just perfect!
Bakehouse Delights Nowra
Last week I had a branding session for award winning Nowra bakery Bakehouse Delights. I was contacted by Jeff the owner as he wanted to create some content to use for his website and social media. I started the booking by photographing some of the products and then spent the rest of my time documenting the baking process. All of their delicious products are baked in store daily.
In today’s age it is so important to have a strong social media presence. If your business needs to refresh their branding with some professional images get in touch today for a free quotation.
Brad and Jemma's Wedding
On the 22nd of August, I had the pleasure of photographing Brad and Jemma tie the knot in the Rhododendron Gardens. With all their friends and family in attendence, it was such a fun celebration! With everything going on this year the couple were unsure if they would be able to get married, but thankfully with the easing of restrictions the two could wed just how they imagined. Jemma put so much thought into the styling of her rustic wedding that not a detail was overlooked. Since guests weren’t allowed to mingle the couple entertained their guests with some traditional games and a round of trivia. Congratulations newlyweds, it was an awesome wedding to be part of!

Our Family in Berrara NSW
Earlier this week we took the girls for a morning adventure to the beach. We are lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world. I may be biased but I think these are the cutest girls to hit the blog!
Nicole's Maternity Session
I had so much fun with this family at Blenheim Beach in Jervis Bay. We met up at sunset and took a stroll along the sand, which made for some lovely natural shots. This family of four is eagerly awaiting the arrival of their fifth member and I am so excited for them.
Thank you for allowing me to capture such a special time and all the best for your babies arrival.
The Wilson Family Session
Over the last couple of years I’ve got to know the Wilsons really well. I’ve had the privilege to document some of the most special occasions in their life, I captured their wedding day and Sarah’s pregnancy. Last week was my favourite occasion to date, meeting their new baby. Unlike a lot of my newborn sessions little Lucy was in the second phase, the one where the baby becomes more alert and aware of the world around them. Rather than sleeping through our session she was bright eyed and smiling up at her mum and dad. I was able to capture some gorgeous moments of this family in their home. Congratulations Jono and Sarah, she is perfect!
Nathan and Kristen's Elopement
On the 15th of August 2020 I photographed the surprise elopement of Nathan and Kristen. The two tied the knot at Cloud 9, a boutique holiday property with 180 degree views overlooking Jervis Bay. The couple invited their closest friends and family to witness the ceremony and celebrate the occasion. After they were announced Mr and Mrs Pfitzner, they headed off to Blenheim Beach for some portraits with their daughter Kobi. It was an honour to capture this beautiful elopement, congratulations to you both!

Drew and Rebeccah's Wedding
Earlier this year Drew and Rebeccah were forced to postpone their wedding because of the pandemic. With the restrictions easing they were able to tie the knot on the 8th of August 2020. Unfortunately, their new date fell on one of the wettest days this winter which meant the plan to get married in Apex Park had to change and the couple had their ceremony at their reception venue. In the week prior to the wedding, the couple were also forced to change reception venues as their original venue would not allow the booking to proceed.
What became so apparent in the lead up to their wedding was this couple’s love for each other. You would think that they would be stressed or upset about the constant curveballs, but instead, they were so happy to be finally getting married that the other details didn’t matter.
Congratulations Drew and Rebeccah, I loved getting to know you both and it felt so nice to celebrate a marriage in these crazy times.

Grace Godlewski Newborn Session

Georgie Resch Newborn Session
Last week I met up with Aaron and Brittney Resch, two of my past wedding clients. This time, it was in the home, to meet their new baby Georgie Carmen. It was so sweet to see how this little girl is already so loved.
Inviting someone into your home to capture photos of your brand new baby is a big thing, and I don’t take that lightly. I feel honoured to be trusted by new parents and so blessed to be welcomed into that newborn bubble. My approach to newborn photography is to take time to get to know you and capture your authentic moments as a family. I try to help everyone feel at ease because the best photos are raw and full of emotion.
Home At Callala - Holiday Property
Last week I was booked by Home at Callala to create some new content for their socials. I have loved watching the owners of this cottage transform it into a beautiful holiday property.

Baby Avoka Cantarakis
There is something so beautiful about walking into a home that has recently welcomed a new life. Last week I met up with parents Steve and Jess to meet their little girl, baby Avoka. I wanted to capture some memories of those first few moments of newborn life, so our session was full of lots of cuddles and kisses. Congratulations on the sweetest addition to the family!
Bridal Editorial Shoot
We jump at the opportunity to get creative and do something a little different. Usually, our bridal shoots take place right on sunset at a local venue using natural light. Earlier this month, we joined up with some other wedding suppliers for an indoor editorial style shoot. We wanted to focus on the bride, using minimal flowers and no props.
We had so much fun bringing the mood board to life with some old and new friends.
