Alex ❤️ Morgan
The rain held off….. but only just.
Came poring down as we were making our way back to our cars.
Tanilba Bay boardwalk is so pretty for photos.

A little look at this evenings engagement photo shoot with Alex and Morgan.
The boardwalk along Tanilba Bay is such a beaut spot. A touch of the bush and a touch of the water.

I can’t wait to photograph Alex and Morgan’s wedding later next month.

2025 U14C Preliminary finals V's The rockets.
Final score: 3 - 2 in favour on the Rockets.
The boys just ran out of puff in the second half from not having enough players.

A special shout out to our goal keeper Coby Wiseman who broke his finger in the first ten minutes, and continued playing on for the entire game without letting anyone know.

Well done team, a massive effort all year round. Playing at least four games in the season with only 10 players.

Can't wait to see what 2026 brings you!

✨ Early Learning Photography with Heart ✨
Sutherland Shire & Port Stephens
At Natalie Grounds Photography, I do things a little differently.

Instead of stiff poses and forced smiles, I invite children to show me:

🌿 Their favourite places to play
🎨 Their favourite activities
💛 The things they love most about their daycare

This play-based approach helps children feel comfortable, confident, and genuinely happy during their session.

✔ Experienced early learning photographer
✔ Calm, patient sessions – time is taken with every child
✔ Studio-style portrait option available
✔ Composite or traditional class photos
✔ Personal online galleries for families
✔ Packages starting from $57

Families receive a beautiful range of images to choose from – natural, authentic and full of personality.

Centres in the Sutherland Shire or Port Stephens looking for a relaxed, professional photography experience for 2026 – I’d love to connect.

Liz is stunning at 32 weeks pregnant.
On Saturday we choose South Cronulla Baths for Liz and Jordan's family / maternity session.. only to arrive to see that the movie night "under the stars" was happening in the park. But all was good as the crowds were on the shore, and we were out playing on the rocks and the beach.
Had such a great time with the beautiful family and their little boy Milo.
