Read MoreMy wife – 6 months
As a photographer, I often get swept up in planning for the next wedding or portrait session. I’m driven by the knowledge that I’m able to capture images for my clients that are valuable now and will grow immeasurably in sentimental value as time passes. In this furore I often forget to photograph that which is ultimately the most important to me: my family. As my beautiful wife, Catherine, is now 6 months pregnant with our first child I felt it essential that I capture this...

My good friends Shannon and Mark invited Cath and me to their farm in Bathurst for the weekend. For the weeks prior I was giddy at the prospect of photographing portaits of this beautiful family on their own acreage. Cath and I drove up on Friday and spent the weekend drinking wine, taking photos, shooting things (not animals!) and fearing for our lives as Mark tore through creeks and bush in his poor, abused truck. A note for the photographers out there: all of these images were shot on my...

Over the weekend I was asked to photograph Emily’s Holy Communion. It’s a very important step in a child’s life and a proud moment for the family. Emily exudes a beautiful inner peace, surprising maturity and is blessed with an infectiously playful spirit.

Jade and Ryan asked me to take some family photos of them with their beautiful daughter, Chloe. We chose Darook Park in Cronulla for its long unspoiled beach, greenery, old weathered boats and rocks. The rain eased up just in time for the photos so we were blessed with some post-rain clear skies and creamy soft light. Chloe was brimming with energy and personality: And could not keep still – what a little wriggler! Chloe has the most striking blue eyes… Two of my...

After the wonderful beach photo session with Jamie, Tracy and Jim, I headed back down the south coast to celebrate their latest addition to the family – Matilda. Here’s a “before” photo of Tracy, three weeks before she was due: and with her beautiful new daughter: Matilda was so placid and peaceful in her daddy’s arms: This is my favourite – a precious connection between a father and his newborn baby girl: Congratulations Jamie and Tracy!

Kareen and Matt wanted some natural photos of their first born, Lachlan, to capture him at a time where changes happen so quickly. Look at those big beautiful eyes: One of my favourites – it looks like he’s about to throw a punch! Bedtime… such a peaceful moment: Back to...
Read MoreFamily portraits – Todd, Elise, Tallulah and Eva
Young couple Todd and Elise had just moved to Narrabeen on Sydney’s north shore. Being fond of the beach, they wanted some portraits of their beautiful little daughters, Tallulah and Eva, taken by the ocean. Eva and Tallulah are so full of energy: and love to laugh! they didn’t hesitate to dive head first into the water either… I love these calm, peaceful portraits of Eva – she has such striking eyes: Thanks for a great afternoon and all the best with your...
