I met up with Amy and Matt last week for an Engagement Photography Session. A beautiful spring morning, besides a fairly strong breeze- which we managed pretty well! We were perched on top of the sand dunes at One Mile Beach in Forster. This location was magical in the morning light, and the blues of the sea were oh so blue… I couldn’t help but think this spot would be perfectly romantic for an engagement shoot, looking out across the water from the cliff top.

It was great to catch up with Amy and Matt, hear about their latest wedding plans and get to know them some more. Such a lovely couple who have been so warm and genuine since we first connected near the beginning of the year. It’s exciting to see their wedding day in November now fast approaching!

Engagement Photography Sessions

Engagement shoots are such a great way to get to know me, and to get comfortable in front of the camera. It puts couples at ease to have experienced a photo shoot with me before their wedding- to see how I work, how the shoot flows, so that they can relax and get familiar with it. It’s nice to know what to expect when it comes to location photos for your wedding day. I think the fellas always breathe a sigh of relief once they realise that it’s not that bad after all- giving them confidence that they can survive their wedding photos!

An engagement photography session is a nice way to mark your time as a couple before you tie the knot- and to get some lovely but more casual photos of you together. It also gives you the chance to choose a location that is different to where you will visit on your wedding day, but might mean something to you as a couple.

Spring is here! So it’s time to bust out of winter with a Family Portrait Photography Session. I’ve got some beautiful photos to share with you, of recent family portrait photography in Hallidays Point.

If you have been meaning to get some family photos taken but haven’t got around to it- get in contact with me and organise them now, before things get hectic during the Christmas period. Then you will have plenty of time to organise what you want to do with them, and get them up on the walls of your home.

As a mum I know that time goes by way too fast as I watch my kids grow and go through different stages. And it’s so lovely to be able to hold those moments still. Of your little boy who is starting to lose his baby teeth, or your toddler who can’t stop running because they just learnt how! Every stage of family life is precious and I love being able to capture each family whatever stage they are at. When clients display the images from their photo session on their walls, I love it when they tell me how much joy it gives them to see those moments in time of their family. As you walk by photos each day in your home, it reminds you of what’s important in your life and makes us smile.

I had a great time with the Fitzhardinge family recently when I met them for a Family Portrait Photography Session at the beach in Red Head. I was in stitches most of the time from the funny things that were said, and had fun chasing them around the rocks and sand. These guys were great fun and are such a beautiful people- it was easy to capture their warmth.
