Canberra Family Photography - New arrival

We had the pleasure of photographing this lovely family who were celebrating the arrival of a beautiful baby girl. Lovely parents, gorgeous kids, and of course...bubbles! A surefire hit with the little ones.

Canberra Fashion Photography - There's no place like home

These gorgeous 'Dorothy' shoes made many appearances during a fashion shoot with one of our very favourite clients, and we thought they deserved a few photos on their own.

Canberra Wedding Photography - Botanic Gardens

One of Canberra's gorgeous outdoor venues, the Australian National Botanic Gardens, played host to the wedding of this beautiful couple. It was an absolute joy to celebrate with this couple who were surrounded by a wonderful group of family and friends. No doubt they have a long and happy future ahead of them!

Canberra Family Photography - Boys!

These two little boys were so joyful, and like most boys, simply bursting with energy. A squeaky dinosaur and the promise of some bubble play were what we needed to hold their attention here and there.

Canberra Newborn and Family Photography - Brothers

Welcoming a new baby to the family is one of the best reasons to organise a family photo session. Babies are beautiful at any age, and we love the ~4-8 week age group. Babies are still holding on to the 'newborn look', but they are awake for longer periods, and sometimes even throw a smile our way...

Canberra Pet Photography - Jackson

Gorgeous Jackson is doted on by his mum and dad, a treasured member of the family. He is bravely fighting a disease right now, and we were honoured to be invited to capture these precious moments.

Canberra Family Photography - Siblings

We just love these little ones. We've known them since birth, and we love watching them grow. She's a lucky little girl to have such a loving big brother!

Canberra Family Photography - Sisters

We had to be quick with these little beauties! Our shutters were working overtime trying to keep up with them when they were on the move, plus we managed to capture moments where they slowed down, even if just for a second...

Canberra Family Photography - Kids

What a wonderful age these children were to photograph - old enough to take direction and show some initiative in their posing, while young enough to still be silly and play around.

After giving us their full attention for the beginning of the shoot, they certainly deserved some time on the playground to burn off some energy!

Life is busy for families with school aged children, so school holidays are the perfect time to organise a family photo session. When was the last time you had your kids photographed?

Canberra Wedding Photography - Engagement session

An engagement photography session is a wonderful opportunity to capture some beautiful, casual, family portraits.

Engagement sessions also serve as a great icebreaker for us as photographers, we get to know a little about the couple before their big day.

We sure are looking forward to shooting this wedding with this gorgeous family!

Canberra Family Photography - Smile!

It was easy to spot the source of this little man's sunny demeanor - mum and dad were just as radiant as their baby boy. What a pleasure it was to photograph this family!

Canberra Family Photography - Big Brother, Little Sister

This gorgeous boy and his beautiful new baby sister have both inherited some striking eyes and lashes, and the entire family appears to have been graced with some good looking feet as well!

Canberra Newborn Photography - Little Prince

A relaxed mum and dad made for a relaxed baby, and this little prince was just as happy as could be. He napped, he smiled, he fed, he napped, he smiled some more... clearly so content and so very loved.

Canberra Maternity Photography - Winter sunshine

This beautiful mother-to-be was determined to wear this gorgeous dress for her maternity session, and we're so glad she did. How amazing does she look? 

Although the ground was cold underneath our feet, Canberra turned on a spectacular winter's day, the sun shining with the promise of spring just around the corner. Winter? What winter?

Winter babies - Canberra Maternity Photography

The fiery colours of the autumn leaves made the images from this session feel warm and cosy. In actual fact it was a typical Canberra winter morning: subzero overnight temperature; frost on the ground; soft light filtering through the trees; a very cold breeze; and the promise of spring around the corner when we stood in the warm sunlight.

We photographed big brother when he was in an obliging mood, a few times throughout the session. For the rest of the time he enjoyed sword fighting in the sunshine with his dad while we enjoyed photographing mum and her beautiful belly.

A surprise awaits - will it be a baby brother or sister?

Baby Lucas - Canberra Family Photography

It was a wet and gloomy day outside when we had the opportunity to photograph gorgeous baby Lucas and his beautiful sisters. Thankfully, their amazing home was full of light with massive windows in each room, the rain and wind forgotten as we stood near the roaring fire. 

Little Lucas was happy to stare dreamily at the outside world, and his big sisters were happy to alternate between posing (cheekily) and playing (cheekily). It's lovely to have older siblings involved in a new baby session, and such a privilege to capture the early stages of their relationships.

Autumn colours - Canberra Family Photography

A big backyard full of fallen leaves at a home in one of Canberra’s older suburbs was a wonderful setting for this family photography session. 

In between all of the leaf-throwing fun, we also captured these energetic siblings in some of their quieter moments – cuddled up on the couch, or blowing bubbles in the yard. How sweet it was to see baby girl so eager to play with her older siblings, and how much they adored her.

Any moment, any milestone, any age - there is no better time than right now to capture your family, just as they are.

Easter Bubby - Canberra Child and Family Photography

We’ve known this little beauty since she was tucked away inside her mum’s belly. We officially met her for the first time when she was very, very new. 

What a privilege it is to be invited to be a part of this family's journey again! This time we celebrated her being a gorgeous, engaging infant (and it was a great excuse to dress her up like a little bunny). Thanks to mum and dad for going all out with the outfits and props!

Little Brother - Canberra Family Photography

Big sister was clearly besotted with the new addition to the family. She was a little shy about appearing in photos at first, but with some gentle encouragement (and a little bribery with the promise of blowing bubbles in the yard, and being entrusted with ‘holding’ her handsome little brother) she warmed up in the end!

The lovely (and tricky) thing about photographing children is that they are well and truly in charge of the session - every single session is different! It’s up to us to follow their lead, be patient, and capture them when they are ready to shine.

Portrait Photography - Teenagers

Teen portrait sessions are de rigueur overseas, somewhat of a rite of passage for teenagers transitioning from school leavers to young, independent adults. Teen portrait sessions aren't as popular in Australia as we think they should be! What parent wouldn't love some sunny, natural, beautiful portraits of their 'little babies' to capture these important years (some would say their most important years) as their little darlings really come into their own?

Mums and dads, it's time to put your foot down and get some precious photos of your grown-up babies that aren't duck face selfies. Don't take no for an answer, assure them that they will have a great selection of photos to use as profile pictures (and for you to hang on your wall of course), and book your portrait session today. You'll be so glad you did!

Event photography - Celebrations

We were honoured to be invited to photograph a mundan, an important Hindu ceremony for a baby. It was a beautiful and colourful ceremony with many special moments to capture. The young man who was the centre of attention was truly a star that day, taking everything in his stride without any protests.

Capital Homes

The Capital Homes website has been launched and we think it looks pretty fantastic!

Keep an eye out for Capital Homes in the upcoming Master Builders awards...

Bedazzled Bellydance beauties

When you combine two beauties, some veils, smokey eyes, bellydancing bling, and a whole lotta talent you'll find Jacqui and Kirsty from Bedazzled Bellydance, all set to perform at Bellydance Evolution 2014. Wishing you all the best ladies!

Beauty portraits - makeup artistry

We have been lucky enough to team up with local Canberra makeup artist Sarah Bourne to begin cataloging her beautiful work. Sarah will soon be displaying her work at the fabulous Fashfest, which had a stunning debut in 2013 jumping straight into the top five of ‘OutInCanberra People’s Choice Awards’—Attractions and Events category.

We are excited to be working with Sarah and look forward to showcasing her work in the coming year.

Newborn photography - Archie

The gorgeous expressions like those captured on the face of this little man are a good reason to photograph a newborn a little later than usual, at around four weeks. Babies are adorably sleepy and poseable for the first 10 to 12 days of their life, being awake and alert for only a few short minutes at a time. Fast forward a couple of weeks and babies are much more alert when they are awake while still taking very frequent naps. The best of both worlds we think!

Family portraits - On location

There is something so lovely about outdoor photo sessions, no two are the same. The differences in light, the changing environment, and of course each and every family has their own dynamic.

There was so much love in this family it was palpable. This gorgeous little man just couldn't get enough of his mum and dad and barely stopped smiling and giggling for the entire session.
