Sutherland Shire Family Photography – Lifestyle Beach Session

Lifestyle Family Photography at the Beach When the lovely Priscilla, from Priscilla Cork Photography asked me to do their Family Photography Session, I was delighted. Firstly, she is a very talented photographer and secondly, she is an absolute sweetheart and so is her beautiful family. We headed into the Royal National Park, in Sydney’s Sutherland Shire, to an absolutely stunning beach. It was a little bit windy, so the beach was almost deserted. I love it when it’s a little windy during my Photography Sessions. I love how it adds movement and mood to the photographs. The wind also added the most amazing effect to the sea, with a salt…

Moments that Matter – September 2017

Moments that Matter – September 2017 It’s been a month of illness for our family, so life was a little quieter in our home and my camera didn’t come out for personal work as often as it usually would. However, we did find a fantastic swing on our walk home from school which presented me with the perfect panning opportunity. I love it that my passion embraces everything thats fun about childhood. To celebrate the beginning of Spring, I took the boys to our local botanical gardens. They had so much fun discovering the different gardens. When we found the one with the most flowers, they were in heaven and…

Moments That Matter – July 17

For the month of July, I decided to take a photo a day, to push my creativity and to take more personal photos. The last time I did this was almost two years ago. I found it so rewarding then and this time, it’s proved not to disappoint. I find committing to something like this can push you out of your comfort zone, rather than only shooting in good light, or only when you feel inspired to try new things. This challenge meant, I had to photograph in what I’d consider terrible light at times and also when I wasn’t feeling creative at all. The result being, I surprised…

Moments That Matter – June 17

It’s been another busy month, so much so that I’ve been frantically editing the photos I took over the month tonight just in-time to join in with this wonderful Moments that Matter circle I am a part of. This month, something kept playing on my mind, I need to document the things that captivate me as the mother of my two boys. Those things being, their eyes, their wonder. The way they look at me. The way they still play like little boys yet, they’d like to think they are big boys now. The way my youngest nearly every morning, climbs into bed with me for snuggles. I feel…

Moments that Matter – April 17

What a month it’s been. We finally welcomed the sunshine back after a very wet March. The boys have just returned to school after two and half weeks of school holidays, and gosh did we jam pack those weeks, full to the brim. We’re still discovering our new neighbourhood, so I took the boys to a new beach (at sunset of course) for a “play” 😉 The boys went through a short phase of acting like teenagers with headphones in and their dad’s old sunglasses on. Plus the “Teenager” attitude. This only lasted a few LONG days… thank goodness! Our six year old, who had a well loved trade…

Moments that Matter – March 2017

I have been asked to join in with a group of talented photographers in sharing a personal blog once a month. A blog of images that I’ve taken throughout the month that are personal to me. I was really excited about the opportunity for many reasons, one being it will force me to take more photos of my two boys. Well, that was a much bigger challenge than I imagined. Lately, I’ve been taking less photos of my kids, purely because of life being so busy. It’s something I said I’d never do, let life get in the way of capturing my own memories. Yet in my heart, I…

New House- New Light – New Inspiration – Lifestyle Photography Sutherland Shire Sydney

Life has been a little hectic lately and it’s definitely caused me to share less on my blog and I’ve wondered if you’ve been thinking that I’d closed my blog due to neglect :-/ On the 1st of November we moved into our new home, a home we adore, our dream home. The last time we moved house was before kids, yet I was heavily pregnant, so I thought surely this move couldn’t be much harder than that move was, well wasn’t I wrong. The packing went on for months and then typical me, I predicted we’d be unpacked within 2 days after moving in. Well it took about…
