I'm a massive believer in genuine smiles, I hate fake camera smiles! In order to get genuine smiles I'm often joking around. I work hard to get people to laugh, smile and relax in front of my camera. If I'm told someone hates their photo being taken I make it my secret mission to make it a fun stress free experience for them. I want my clients to walk away having had a fun time at the shoot. Rarel

y these days do we dedicate time just for us or our family, being 100% present, away from screens genuinely connecting so it's important to me that this precious time be cherished and enjoyed. Besides who wants to look at pictures of a photoshoot they white knuckled it through hating every second! When you look back on my photos I want you love the images and to remember what a good time you had that day.

Perhaps you’re setting up a photography business and need a bit of help? Everything is on the table. Two hours of personalised, hands-on, jargon-free photography mentoring tailored to what you actually want to learn — no judgement and definitely no silly questions. $249 for two hours, or bring a friend for an extra $99.

I've just had a spot open up on my Get Off Auto course tomorrow 9-3pm. This is the last chance to do the course this year. So if you want it email me and the spots yours. I'll pop a link in comments so you can see what's covered. In a nutshell you will learn how to control shutter speed, aperture and ISO and then by lunchtime tomorrow you will be shooting in Manual Mode. By 3pm you will have joined the elite Manual Minx Movement! Lunch and morning tea included. We have a lovely bunch of women joining us tomorrow from complete beginners to those who have shot in manual before but need a refresher. Does the last spot at the table have your name on it? If so get on it, so I can print you a name tag!

I photographed Big Hill Beach Cottages overnight. Got home in time to drive Isla to school this morning. Edited the images. Sent 150 edited photos to the client AND wrote a blog post. It's time for a vino! Who am I kidding I may have had one or two last night also. Why be dull I say. Kicking goals. I give you permission to pour a w**e and check out what I have to say about these beach cottages here in this riveting read.

Discover Big Hill Beach Cottages near Crescent Head, a peaceful off-grid family getaway surrounded by nature. As a boutique photographer, Kristen Shaw Photography captures images that make you want to switch off and stay awhile.
