I don't think I've ever announced buying a new camera before... in fact, I don't think I've ever announced buying any camera.

But as you know, I'm trying to get a little better at sharing some of the things that happen behind the scenes around here, rather than just popping up with the finished photographs, so here we are!

After many years with my trusty DSLR, it had slowly started showing its age and a few things weren't quite working the way they should anymore. I'd been putting off upgrading for quite a while because changing camera systems after using essentially the same thing for so many years felt like a pretty big leap.

I've actually had the new gear for a little while now and have had a chance to properly use it on a few shoots, and I think it's safe to say we're finally becoming friends. There's definitely been a learning curve and a lot of figuring out where everything lives, but I'm really happy I finally made the change.

I also wanted to give a huge shout out to Jacqui from Wades World Photographics. I've been buying my camera gear from them for a really long time, and this experience was another reminder of why I keep going back. Jacqui was absolutely amazing through the whole process, answering all my questions, helping me work through what I needed and making what was a pretty big purchase feel so much easier.

Good customer service is something I really appreciate and theirs really is exceptional.

So thank you Jacqui for looking after me yet again. ❤️

The flower skirt is now about 99% finished. Tamika did all the sewing to create the base then I took over from there with the hot glue gun and what felt like 1 million flowers.
We’ve now moved onto the next part of this slightly ridiculous project… except Tamika is nowhere to be seen, so apparently the giant paper flowers are all me. Well, so far anyway. 🤣

I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing, so there has been a lot of searching, watching, reading and learning thanks to good old YouTube university.
Yesterday evening was mostly spent experimenting with paint because I wanted to add more depth to the crêpe paper rather than leaving it as one flat colour. Painting is normally to Tamika’s department, so I’m definitely winging it this part. After a fair bit of trial and error, I think I finally worked out a method I’m happy with.
Six months of planning and slowly collecting everything for this shoot and we’re getting closer… hopefully when it all comes together it looks amazing in real life as it does in my imagination. 🌸

Tamika and I have officially started on the next project… which apparently means sacrificing the loungeroom to the creative gods. 😂

I’ve had this shoot floating around in my head for about six months now, slowly gathering flowers, bits and pieces and everything I need to finally bring it to life.
Today we started building the flower skirt and the first layer is officially on! There’s still a lot more to come, but after a few casualties involving hot glue and burnt fingers, we’ve decided it’s time for a break. 😂
So now we’re sitting amongst the absolute floral chaos, watching my favourite background noise show The Vampire Diaries, before we brave the hot glue gun again.
I absolutely love this part of creating a shoot. Watching something that has existed only in my head for months slowly start becoming real.
And this one is only just beginning… 🌸 🌹🌼🌺💐🌷🪻

Time to repurpose the flowers from the caksmash set for my next creative project. I’m so excited for this one. 3 months in the making so far, gathering supplies and learning techniques. Watch this space! 🌸

A few weeks ago I shared a little glimpse behind the scenes of this butterfly set. It involved late nights, foam scraps all over the dining room table, butterflies taking over the house and more cups of caramel coffee than I’d like to admit.

Well… Here she is the finished gallery from Sweet Sienna’s first birthday session.

We started by choosing one of the dresses from my studio wardrobe then tried on a few different flower crowns until mum and dad found the perfect one. I think Sienna approved too because she absolutely loved looking at herself in the mirror while we were trying them on.
She was such a little superstar. With mum and dad keeping her entertained (and dad doing an excellent job of sprinkling flowers on que), I was able to capture all those beautiful moments. Mum was also on official Sienna retrieval duty, bringing her back every time she decided it was time to crawl off and explore the studio.
Once I could tell she had enough of sitting still, mum changed her into the birthday outfit and it was time for the cake smash.
At first Sienna wasn’t quite sure of what to make of it… But it didn’t take long before she discovered that cake is pretty amazing.
One of my favourite parts of this job is taking an idea that starts as a sketch in my head and watching it become something real. Seeing families enjoy the sets we’ve spent weeks creating makes every late night completely worth it.

"Right from the very start of communication, Katrina worked very closely with us to bring our vision to life and created the most beautiful set up for our baby girls cake smash. Our daughter had a ball and you captured her beautifully. Thank you so much, Katrina." - Sienna’s mum Telana James

Thank you so much for trusting me with such a special milestone, and a big thank you to https://www.facebook.com/NicsRainbowDelights for creating Sienna’s beautiful cake

Happy first birthday, sweet Sienna.

It’s 9:30am and I’m sitting here in track pants and one of my husbands old T-shirts, my hair hasn’t been brushed in two days and is currently in a not so cute bun on top of my head. There’s foam scraps all over the dining room table, wet washing hanging over chairs cause it’s been raining, and butterflies everywhere.
Last nights butterfly chaos started at 9:30pm. At 11pm I said: “ok, I should probably stop soon”
Next thing I knew it was 11:30pm.
I sat there rearranging butterfly templates cut from a newspaper for an hour trying to fit just ONE more onto the foam sheet. Mind you I’m doing this in sh*tty light due to a blown bulb.
My back hurts, my eyes go blurry, and somehow I still keep going because my brain can already see the final shoot before it exists.
This is the reality behind so many of my sessions.
Not glamorous and polished just creative mess.
People see the final images.
What they don’t see is the weeks, sometimes months that happen before the shutter even clicks. The ideas typed up in my phone notes, the mistakes, the ‘this looked better in my head’ moments lol. The props we (my amazingly talented daughter of who half the stuff I do wouldn’t be possible if I didn’t have her here to help me)
Sometimes we work at the dining room table watching a series on my phone propped up so we can both watch, making late night coffees and eating snacks, and other times we take over the loungeroom coffee table in front of the tv.
Then when things get really messy we move downstairs into the studio and chaos truly begins.
My dining room table right now has:
Dried flowers
Wire
Butterfly cutouts
Scissors
Open mail
The wet clothes over chairs.
A chewed dog toy
At least one forgotten coffee cup
Downstairs in the studio has plastic flowers everywhere. My house isn’t a show home, it’s lived in, loved in, created in, and honestly I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I’m currently creating for the sweetest 1st birthday cakesmash I have booked in for the end of June.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about why I disappear from social media sometimes, and truthfully, the pressure to constantly post, to stay visible, beat the algorithm and to make everything look polished and perfect all the time. It just all gets too much.
So I stop posting.
Not because I stop creating , honestly sometimes it’s the opposite.

Life is just messy here.
My dog running around my feet, and she’s brought mud into the house. There’s washing hanging over the dining room chairs because it’s been raining.
Props are taking over the dining table.
There are days where I feel wildly inspired, images that need editing and days where I don’t want to touch social media at all.
I think maybe I’ve hidden too much of that.
Because behind every session and every image I share is actually a very real life being lived behind it all.
A lived in home.
Late nights creating.
Mess.
Mistakes.
Coffee cups.
Exhaustion.
Ideas scribbled down at random hours, midnight scrolling for inspiration to hit or an idea that has taken on a life of its own and I’m pinning like a mad thing on Pinterest.
So maybe it’s time I start sharing that side too?
Not the polished, curated version, just the real one.
Honestly….i’ll still disappear from social media lol.
Not because something is wrong, not because I’ve stopped caring and not because I’m constantly creating magical things every second of the day.
Sometimes I’m just living life.
Cleaning the house.
Editing galleries.
Watching a movie.
Feeling uninspired.
Doing absolutely nothing creative at all.
But I think when things ARE happening in my little photography world…..maybe I should start sharing some of it.
The real version, the messy and unfinished bts, before the final images even exist version.
I’ve been doing this for 27 years now and maybe it’s finally time I start sharing little snippets of the world behind it all.

So here are a few little snippets of my world lately. The studio half packed up after Mother’s Day sessions.
My office that somehow never stays organised for long, and the end result of me having to troubleshoot mid session camera triggers, batteries and old sync cords trying to keep things working.
Not glamorous, just the life behind the photos.
