I’ve been busy lately and I know busy can mean so many different things to different people. But for me it means trying to find a balance. A balance for me, my children, my partner, my work and my photography.

Photography is my feminine creative outlet. It pulls me back into the light where I feel at home and at peace. Behind the lens I’m searching for the right angles and light and filling the screen with a balance of the family in front of me, the elements, the space around them, everything that brings their story to life. When I get it right I feel whole and peaceful. On purpose doing something beautiful for them and at the same time something beautiful for me. What is that called? Synergy? Alignment?

I don’t shoot as much as I used to because I was shooting to much and wasn’t able to spend enough quality time with my family. Which brings me back to my struggle with balance.

These days my week days are filled with working in my partners construction business. I love it there, I love the office environment, I love admin, I love computers and organising. It’s my jam.

I have my boys 50% of the time, and want to spend quality time with them when I have them - amongst the endless after school activities and homework and play dates.

I’m building a home. It’s the first home I’ve built. And it’s in my name and I feel so proud. I’ll talk more about that another day as it’s just so much for one post. But it’s very special.

And my partner, the final piece to my puzzle. He completes me. We are the team I’d always dreamed of. Parents to five sons. Passionate about the same things (except maybe soccer 🙈) lovers of life. My best friend. We cherish and adore each other, so grateful to each other. Every single day.

Here’s to a new week where I do it all again ♥️

Ps. I can never add music to my posts as for some reason I have the lamest music to choose from 😅

When I capture love, especially weddings, I get so emotional. I feel like I’m part of the family and for that day I am. I’m so invested and feel all the love and the goosebumps and the songs. It really hits me in the heart.

Capturing Brooke and Craig was no exception. We have had three shoots prior over the years, witnessing their family grow and it’s just so special to be invited to share this day as well.

Congratulations Brooke and Craig ♥️

When family live in different states, time together becomes something you don’t take for granted .. it becomes everything.

These sessions aren’t just photos. They’re the cousins who only see each other once or twice a year, the grandparents soaking it all in, the chaos, the laughter, the “wait, don’t move!” moments that somehow turn into the favourites.

Because life moves fast, kids grow faster, and distance has a way of stretching time between visits.

Capturing extended family like this means freezing a moment that doesn’t happen often enough and turning it into something that lasts.

One day, these photos won’t just be beautiful… they’ll be priceless.

Family shoots with a toddler are go go go! I’m very child led with my shoots, ensuring they feel comfortable, get their energy out and having fun. What this means is mum and dad can relax knowing I’ve got this.

The hour flies by, in a flurry of hugs and kisses, swings and jumps and always capturing so much love. It’s a work out and it’s energetic, it’s slow and it’s intimate and everything in between ♥️ and an honour.

I’ve been shooting about two shoots a week the last couple of months. It’s been beautiful to watch the sunsets with returning families, watching your family grow, capturing the little moments before big changes ♥️ always a privilege xx

This year, 2025, it has been intense. It’s been a time of growth, it’s been beautiful and it’s been a year that has stretched me to capacity. The news you’ve been waiting for is on the last slide!!!

We started the year down south with the four boys on a camping trip to Denmark and Albany. It was basically an entire week and a half of preparing food and swimming! It was a lot of fun but also extremely tiring.

I saw a play my niece produced and it made me proud. There were countless nights when she was young where she would produce plays with her cousins and we were forced to watch and I was always the loudest to clap.

Gary and I went on a couple of trips down south to our fave place, Dunsborough. What a beautiful part of the world to explore and relax and connect.

Too many trips to Lancelin to count. It’s our home away from home. A little step back in time to unwind and sleep (the sea air always makes me sleep so long!) We take the dogs, I love this video, Gary gives me a little kiss you can see in the shadow ;-)

My birthday! It was a fun day, we went out for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I had an old friend visit from over East and it turned out to be the last time I ever saw her. I decided to end our friendship as she became someone I didn’t want to align with anymore and I’m at that point in my life I don’t choose to surround myself with anyone who dims my light. After 30 years of friendship it can be hard, but it can feel very freeing also.

We went to Cervantes and visited the Pinnacles and I still don’t understand the attraction! But we had a nice time and the prawns at the Lobster Shack are yummmmm.

A beautiful self portrait photoshoot with me and my boys. I will always treasure these photos I get with them, I’ll never regret the time and effort it takes to do this with them because one day I will look back on these with joy, like I do today.

We celebrated Gary’s birthday in style at Gibney’s, what a beautiful restaurant right on the ocean. Highly recommend.

Another trip down south in winter. Love a trip to winery’s in the winter because they have the fire’s on.

✨ Christmas Mini’s are this weekend ✨ - just five more sleeps! I have a few more places left.

These are an awesome way to freshen up your family photos for the year, to have some photos to share on Christmas Day or use as gifts for family.

Whatever the reason, it’s always so much fun. More details linked in bio ♥️

Two years of you, two years learning, loving, living a life on purpose.

You heal parts of me you didn’t break, without even knowing the work you do, which is one of the reasons you’re so special to me.

Leading me, protecting me, adoring me, in turn I support you in every way I can to live your biggest, fullest life. A relationship filled with fun, peace, joy, laughter - so much laughter, connection and boundless love.

You feel like coming home. Two years of my nervous system relaxed, relaxing, letting go.

Thank you for bearing gifts I don’t know I even wanted on my vision board. You excite me and surprise me. Every day.

Happy anniversary my love, Gary.
