Beautiful Moments at Movie World {Brisbane Family Photographer}

Around a month ago I received an out of the blue email from a Sydney photographer that I have very much been in awe of since I saw her work around 2 years ago! The email was from Cathy Crawley and she was asking ME to do HER family photoshoot when she was up in Queensland in February. I had only met Cathy once briefly last year at PMA so was obviously very surprised that she would ask me to do this for her – so surprised I think I nearly fell off my chair! Anyway, after I stopped shaking (from excitement of course lol) I replied to her email with a definite YES!

So the day for the shoot was Sunday – was I nervous -very! Did it feel like I had known Cathy and her family forever – yes! We pretty much got straight into the shoot at Movie World and we just had so much fun together. Cathy’s kids are adorable and you will see from the photos how much Cathy and Sissi (her daugther) look like each other – I seriously think they look like sisters.

Cathy is the owner of Beautiful Moments Photography and you can view her recent work here. It really is beautiful – Cathy also is an award winning photographer and shoots the cover for Practical Parenting magazine!

This is part one of our time together. Part two will be some beach shots we managed to squeeze in in the last 30 mins of light at Main Beach.

{Cathy, thank you so much for asking me to photograph your family – it has been one of my highlights to date in my short photography career and I really can’t wait to catch up with you in April. Hope you love them!}.

Donna & Neil E-Shoot {Brisbane Wedding Photographer}

Last Wednesday I visited Island Hideaway over at South Stradbroke Island for the engagement shoot for Donna and Neil who are getting married there in March! The weather looked pretty scary and there were a few drops while we were whisked away on the speed boat (now that was fun!) – but in the end we ended having around 30 mins before we lost light and it started raining again! Neil and Donna are such a lovely couple and I could really feel the love between them. When they were left alone for 5 minutes the world could of come to an end and they probably wouldn’t have realised.

This should be one fun wedding with guests traveling from many different parts of the world including the UK and South Australia.

Here are a few images from our very quick session.

{Donna and Neil – so so lovely to meet you last week and I know we are going to have a ball on your wedding day! Just remember – enjoy every second of it – hope you love these photos and I will be in contact soon}

Mr Beautiful {Brisbane Family Photographer}

Yesterday I was so lucky to meet up with this incredibly gorgeous family!  The day wasn’t looking so good in the morning due to the recent bad weather and we were even going to cancel our session – but I am SO glad that we didn’t because we had the most perfect light and came back with some fantastic images.  Little Master J was just so perfectly behaved.

{Thank you for asking me to capture this special time in your life – I really am honored.  I hope you love your sneak peak and I will have your gallery up in a few days}.

Happy Days {Brisbane Family Photographer}

Yesterday I had one of the most fun sessions I think I have had to date!  I have become friends with Allison over the past few months as her daugther has been in a few photoshoots for Princess Ratbag, Momie et Enfant and Peekaboo Magazine.  This was a very long awaited shoot as Allison has been asking me for ages to do a shoot for her.  She wanted a beach theme and a beach theme is what she got – along with a bit of park thrown in.  We decide to utitlise the park as the light at 4:30pm was still pretty intense and the park had some lovely lighting.  And anyone that knows me knows that I shy away from backlighting and flares – however in this case I think it worked and my New Year resolution this year is to play a little more with backlighting to add some different elements into my photography!

We ended up at the beach at around 5:30pm and even at that time the light was pretty crazy – lucky I had my reflector assistant and we made the situation “work” !

{Guys I hope you love your sneak peak and your video – will be in touch soon xx}

Till next time

PS – this is a very very long post!

Dave & Elise's Wedding Day – Part 2 {Brisbane Wedding Photographer}

As promised here is part 2 of Dave and Elise’s Wedding Day!  I could of kept editing these photos all night – such a beautiful couple!  If you are wondering what the dog is doing in the last photo – it was made by Elise’s Nan as their “son” couldn’t be there!

If you are interstate and currently choosing your wedding photographer – I am willing to travel interstate and have a number of interstate weddings this year that I am very much looking forward too.

Till next time – enjoy!
