What better location to photograph a maternity session than in beautiful Jervis Bay. It’s such a special time being pregnant, so documenting this season of life is so important. I like to capture not only the bump, but also the happiness and joy that the anticipation of meeting your little one brings. Congratulations Lauren on your pregnancy and all the best with the birth.
Extended Family Session at Jervis Bay
With the restrictions easing and the regional travel ban lifted, this beautiful family decided to catch up and update their family photos while enjoying the south coast. With rain forecast we were all a little nervous that this session wouldn’t take place, but thankfully there was just enough time to document some memories. Thank you Mikarlie for organising this booking, it was lots of fun hanging out with you all. Have a Merry Christmas!

Congratulations Joshua and Georgina and thank you for allowing me to document your big day.

The Bay House by Wandering Escapes
I recently photographed The Bay House which is available for holiday letting via Wandering Escapes. The Bay House is only steps away from the white sands of Callala Bay, one of the secret gems of famous Jervis Bay. The property is in close proximity to groceries, takeaway food, coffee, the Callala boat ramp and the Huskisson ferry. This is the perfect beach house for a South Coast escape.

Mountain Side Meats by Wilson Design and Build
One of my recent projects was for Wilson Design and Build. Jobe and his team worked alongside Mountain Side Meats to renovate their North Nowra Butcher.

Wilson Design and Build are locally owned and operated, so if you are looking for an experienced South Coast builder give Jobe a call.

Thank you Bronte for allowing me to document some of the first moments of motherhood.
