Top tips for a painless family photo shoot

I'm not going to lie. In pretty much every family photoshoot I've ever had there's been a moment where one (if not all) of the children involved give up and lose interest in what's going on. I try to reassure the parents, who look naturally concerned when their children are frowning at me and my… Continue reading Top tips for a painless family photo shoot

Time flies

All of a sudden we're here again and another year has passed. My eldest is now 11 and the preparation for her mini birthday shoot included debating between pairs of earrings and trying to find a hairstyle that would allow her 'dyed hair' to show. Something that never would have happened a year ago. She… Continue reading Time flies

Asking for a friend ~ MODEL CALL

One of my favourite kinds of status updates to read on Facebook and other places are questions supposedly posed on behalf of 'a friend'. Usually they're hilarious and definitely a pleasant change from the drama and negativity that you tend to run into sooner or later on social media these days. And they got me… Continue reading Asking for a friend ~ MODEL CALL

Awesome confirmation photos in the snow!

Last spring I met up with two very brave and beautiful young ladies to take their confirmation photos. It was a gorgeously sunny day at Nallikari but it was unbelievably windy which meant it was freezing! Their smiles never faltered though and I can only wish I had half of their poise! Here are a… Continue reading Awesome confirmation photos in the snow!
