Sunny Gladstone Trip!

I spent the past week visiting my dear Husband in Gladstone, QLD. While I was there, I had the opportunity to work on a number of shoots.

The first was a lovely couple called Angelina and Dusty. Angelina and I both had the same quirky artistic vision for what we want to achieve with their photos, so it led us to some unusual locations such as half knocked down factories, QR National coal trains and shipping containers! Not the usual places for photos of a bride and groom and their two flower girls, but we had an absolute ball! Thanks for a great day guys!












I also had the opportunity to work with a lovely family from Gladstone at the Tondoon Botanic Gardens. We shot there very late in the afternoon and the light was absolutely spectacular! I did struggle a little with the humidity in the Tropical gardens though. The boys were mad about soccer, so it only seemed fitting to include a few soccer photos as well.













One of my Husband's work mates, Maddy turned 21 while I was in Gladstone. Her birthday treat to herself was an afternoon of fashion shoots with me. We had a fantastic time full of laughs, Marilyn Monroe moments, hanging off coal trains and looking for snakes in long grass. I enjoyed the opportunity to shoot something a little different from my usual work as well. Thanks Maddy!

Flat out few weeks!

Hi everybody! it has been a while since I last posted. This past few weeks has been crazy with it being wedding season and having meetings with a lot of lovely new couples.

So lets start with last weekend!

Last weekend I met with a lovely young couple, Kasey and Steve to shoot their beautiful baby bump! We met out at Tempus two on a lovely sunny afternoon, and spent a few hours driving around to a number of different locations around Pokolbin. Thanks for letting me share this special time with you guys! I can't wait until bubba comes along to meet us!












This weekend has been another flat out one! Yesterday I had the great pleasure of sharing in the special day of Kate and Joel out at the stunning Gemelli Estate in Pokolbin. The lovely couple came all the way from Victoria to get married in the Hunter Valley. The ceremony was held at Gemelli overlooking the vines and the reception was held on the lawn at the vineyard. The whole setting was stunning!










Today I spent the afternoon with Brooke and Lou. Brooke organised a couples shoot for her partner Lou's birthday. I had a lot of fun with these girls this afternoon driving around to a bunch of random locations, as well as good old faithful Closebourne House. Thanks for a fun afternoon full of laughs girls!
