A little update from me...
After my original page was hacked a couple of years ago, I've finally accepted that I'm probably not getting it back. The hackers stole admin access, which means I can't properly manage the page, access messages, or use it the way a business should. Dicks eh.

So I've started fresh.

You'll now find me on Facebook as Kerry Hodge Photography : KHP

As much as I have a love/hate relationship with social media, Facebook is still a fantastic way for me to share my work, connect with clients, and keep you updated on what I'm creating.

I'd love it if you'd come follow the new page on Facebook and help me rebuild what was lost.

Thank you for being here x

✨ Milton Business Spotlight: Forum Cafe ✨

More than just a place to grab a coffee, Forum Cafe is one of those spaces that makes you feel welcome the moment you walk through the door. Locally owned and operated, Forum Cafe serves fresh food every day, from homemade cabinet food, pies, cakes, meals and all sorts of delicious delights through to great coffee and friendly service.

Whether you're catching up with friends, grabbing lunch on the go, or stopping in during a road trip, there's always something delicious waiting. A big part of what makes Forum Cafe so special is the team behind it. Made up of local mums, each staff member brings their own strengths, warmth, and personality to the cafe. Together they've created a welcoming environment where customers are greeted with a smile and made to feel right at home.

For owner Kerry, one of the best things about living and working in Milton is the support from both the local community and the many travellers and cyclists passing through town. She loves being part of a community that values supporting local businesses and helping one another thrive.

Sometimes the most meaningful moments are the quiet ones. A story being read for probably the hundredth time. A toddler tucked safely into Mum’s lap. And a great grandmother watching on in the background, seeing generations of love sitting right in front of her.
No one’s looking at the camera. No one’s performing. Just people loving each other in the ordinary little ways that end up meaning everything.

And maybe that’s why photos like this hit differently. Because one day the little voice asking for “just one more book” won’t sound the same. The tiny body curled into your chest will grow longer and heavier and eventually stop fitting there altogether.
But this moment? This gets to stay.

One of the biggest compliments I can ever receive isn’t that people love their photos.
It’s hearing they forgot about the camera. That they felt relaxed. That they felt like themselves. That they got to be fully in the moment instead of worrying about how they looked in it.

Because that’s always the goal.

Not creating perfect poses. Not turning your wedding into one long photoshoot. Just making space for you to laugh until your face hurts, hold hands a little tighter, soak in the people around you, and actually enjoy being newly married.

This photo feels like that. Two people completely in it. No performance. No pressure. Just joy.

And honestly… those are always the moments that become the favourites.
