The blog is now live following my Summer Mini Sessions at Hahndorf Lavender Estate late last year. I plan to run sessions again towards the end of this year and will release dates around October/November. For now, stay tuned for Autumn Mini Sessions in the Adelaide Hills this April.

Last December I held my first set of Summer Mini Sessions at Hahndorf Lavender Estate.  This unique Adelaide Hills property is only open to the public for a one month window annually, making it a very seasonal backdrop. Nicole, the owner, was very accommodating allowing these sessions to take place...

After quite the hiatus, it's time to freshen up my page. A lot has happened in the past year and a bit. I wound up my final wedding season, including an overseas elopement, and officially retired from weddings in June. I took a few months break over Winter to relax and revamp my website with a family focus. Come Spring I started shooting again and I'm about to host my first round of Summer Mini Sessions. You'll find the link on the home page of my website. For those of you who wish to play along I post regularly on Instagram. Otherwise, I will continue to share my blog posts with you as I embark on my business remodel 😀

FRESHLY BLOGGED - Michael & Shannons' Adelaide Hills Wedding at Anvers Wines. Pop on over to check out this brand new venue to the Adelaide Wedding scene. Shout outs also go to Keryl Beckmann - Marriage Celebrant and How Sweet It Is Cakes.

For those of you who don't follow along on Instagram, I'll be retiring from Weddings at the end of this current season. The juggle of being a single mum of two (one with special needs) and working part time has become too great. I will fall just shy of capturing 300 Weddings in my career, but the time is right to step back. From 1/7/2024 my business will focus on Portraits as I continue to enjoy capturing families and returning clients.

Michael and Shannon’s Adelaide Hills Wedding was originally going to be a 30th Birthday Bash turned surprise nuptials.  However as plans evolved it became clear that keeping their secret was going to be harder than first thought. These guys managed to plan and execute their event in 4 short month...

Freshly blogged - the Autumn Wedding of Patrick and Sarah at The Manor Basket Range. The weather on the day made for all sorts of moody light and plan B's.

Blogging is back baby!! It's been quite some time since I last posted a blog, due to backend website issues. I'm pleased to say that these have now been rectified and my website is getting a much needed refresh of content. Head on over and read all about Lauren and Rattana's Wedding at the newly renovated Longview Vineyard featuring Floral Eden, Halo Entertainment- Adelaide, Sonja Maree - Adelaide Makeup Artist and Peter Leverenz - Marriage Celebrant

Longview Vineyard played host to the Adelaide Hills Wedding of Rattana and Lauren.  These two humble souls were a joy to photograph on a weekend in September when it was a tad chilly.  Considering the Wedding Season thus far such a forecast isn’t that isolated. Both the Groom and Bride held thei...
