A Country Affair

This past weekend I had the great pleasure of doing a couples shoot with Kiera and Andy. I picked them up in the afternoon to take them to their surprise locations.

Our first stop was in East Maitland where we utilised the historic old train station, from there we headed out to one of my favourite places to shoot at Closebourne House at Morpeth. We had a lot of fun here. Andy was determined that he would be able to get through every door there, spider webs continuously getting in our face, hair, clothes and not to mention my lens, finding old rusted golf clubs and the search to find a golf ball so we could play. A lot of fun was had with this young couple. From here we headed to my secret location, and had fun in a hay field. We had some absolutely spectacular light by the time we arrived here. It inspired me so much and I couldve stayed shooting there all afternoon. When packing everything back in the car, we noticed a herd of cattle walking up to the fence near us, so they ended up posing for a few photos as well. After leaving my first secret location, we made our way to my second one. A very large hay shed. We had a lot of fun in here and all came out covered with hay! I'm still trying to get all of the peices of hay off my soft box!

The shoot was incredible and I think we really created some magic. This young couple was an absolute blast to work with! Get married already guys!!

Enjoy!

Christmas Chaos!

Wow, so this lead up to Christmas really is chaotic this year. Trying to cram in all the last of the shoots ready for the break. Last weekend I spent Saturday morning out at Closebourne House doing a photoshoot of my parents for their Christmas pressie. The rain finally stopped for us which was good. I can't imagine my parents wouldve been impressed if I told them I was going to continue shooting even if it was raining. I'll put a few sneakies up from that shoot after Christmas... Can't risk them seeing their Christmas Present early now can we! On Sunday after a lovely trip to Georges cameras in Sydney to buy myself a new camera strap to reduce my neck strain we were scheduled to have a very cool shoot at The Rocks in Sydney. Unfortunately that crazy storm that was all over the news hit and we had to postpone it. There was no way we wouldv'e even been able to get the lights out of the car, so that was a bit disappointing.

This week has been a huuuuuuuuge one for post processing! I have got so much done its unbeleivable! But still plenty more to keep m busy.

This afternoon I am off to a number of very cool locations to do a couples shoot of Kiera and Andy. I hope these clouds that are slowly rolling in keep away as i'm feeling inspired by the harsher light at the moment. So let see how it pans out. Tommorrow morning I will be off to Walka Water Works to shoot a family portrait session. Looking forward to that as well. Will be sure to get some sneak peaks for both of those shoots up before Christmas.

And as promised last blog post, here are some sneak peaks from Baby Gracie's first photoshoot!



Enjoy!!
