Family Session | Bronte Beach

December and early January has been choc-a-block with extended family shoots as many siblings, Parents and Grandparents come together to celebrate the festive season.

Little Angus was one of the lucky ones to be surrounded by an adoring family and clearly enjoyed all the attention he was getting from both his Aussie and Irish Grandparents.  We spent a lovely hour together at Bronte for this session - you would never know from these that there was a huge surf carnival going on would you!

Cake Smash | Hugo

Having just re-located to Sydney's Northern Beaches, I found myself  in urgent need of a new local cake maker to supply me with some delicious creations for use in my cake smashes which have proven overwhelmingly popular since I introduced them to my session offering six months ago.

Enter Neil Smith of Peekaboo Party Cakes, Seaforth (www.peekaboopartycakes.com).  Neil was intrigued by the cake smash concept and embraced it entirely, indeed so much so that he even booked in his beautiful 17-month-old son, Hugo, for a smash using none other than his fabulous Christmas Cupcake.  

As the son of a cake maker I had very high hopes for Hugo's cake smashing skills and I wasn't disappointed!  After a bit of convincing that he was actually allowed to touch this particular cake, Hugo  approached with gusto.   The resulting images are just gorgeous and I think Hugo looks most at home with a wooden spoon and whisk in hand.  I can certainly see him joining Dad in the business before too long.

My thanks to Neil and Kate for allowing me to share these images and for continuing to provide me with such fabulous cakes which I know are appreciated by the bubs and Mums alike!

Cake Smash | Max

Can I just say, I L.O.V.E.D this little guy...

With the most divine curls and huge brown eyes, what's not to love?  He was the perfect cake smasher too which just about made my day.  After Max had had enough of feasting with his fingers, he very happily dived straight back in again with a whisk (which, just quietly, is apparently his favourite toy at home too!).

Max, you are a treasure.  And I know Mum and Dad think so too!

Studio Session | Liam

Liam joined me for his six-month photo session with his little cousin, Felicity.   Born just three weeks apart, they already have a lovely bond and enjoyed a fair amount of wrestling in between shots.

These studio sessions are a short 20-30 minutes each which is quite sufficient to capture a nice range of shots.    Eternally smiley, Liam was a joy to photograph.

Cake Smash | Ava


Happy First Birthday little Ava!

I have loved watching you grow over the past year from a tiny newborn into a cheeky little one-year-old with so much character - make sure you tell Mum & Dad to bring you to visit at the new studio in Freshwater!

Meet Felicity - pretty in pink for her 6-month mini photo session.  

Perfect styling by Mum, Julia, I absolutely loved Felicity's beautiful outfits, especially that gorgeous tutu!  Such a little princess.
