Downtime
And...breathe... It's funny how things work out really. I remember when I first started out as a photographer I was desperate for work and the Winters' seemed never-ending. I was the kid longing for the Summer to come around again. Jump to 6 years later and...
Family
As a photographer I get a rare insight into other people's lives and for a few moments I get to see how they work, the dynamic, the banter, the glances, the eye rolls, the laughter, the easy smiles, the in-jokes, the nicknames. It's one of the best things of the job....
Team Bride
Bridesmaids, maids of honour, your awesome foursome, Team Bride... When my husband and I were getting married we were going abroad and taking no one with us, so no bridesmaids were required. In the run up to the wedding there was a falling out of sorts so my closest...
Five Years On…
12th October 2010, Two Jack Lake, Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada. "But I believe in love, and I know that you do too, and I believe in some kind of path where we can walk down me & you. So keep your candles burning, make a journey bright and pure, that...
Win the great and Avalon the toddler…
It's October. How the heck did that happen?! Where did August and September go? I appear to have been bouncing from wedding to computer and back again several times over these past few weeks and my family, who although still look familiar, I have barely seen lately. I...
Stanley & Connie
This cheeky pair are Stanley and Connie. I met their parents, Rachel & Steve, when Rachel was heavily pregnant with Connie and we first discussed a photoshoot way back then. Life and work and other random stuff happened but finally, in June, Rachel welcomed me...
Avalon at 16 Months Old
This is Avalon at 16 months. I don't know when it happened, but seemingly all of a sudden, we have a toddler. She's starting to walk, babble and can say words like 'car', 'dad' and 'nan'. She throws tantrums when she can't have her own way and points at...
A Week Off…
Each year in July my husband and I take a few days off and enjoy a bit of downtime and celebrate my birthday. This year is tricky with it being the busiest year of my business so far (think seven weddings in one month kind of busy and you're there). But we've done it....
Father’s Day 2015
So in this crazy business, at this crazy busy time of year, discovering the down time sometimes takes night vision goggles to find. Every wedding professional is swamped right now so getting a day off with my husband (who works shifts) and my daughter is rare. Today...
Real Life Rocks: Helen & Jacob
So a few weeks back I posted some images of myself & Avalon courtesy of the awesome wedding and lifestyle photographer Helen Howard. In return for those images I took these of her and her son, Jacob. Their's is a beautiful and precious bond and I'm very fortunate...
Real Life Rocks – A Helen Howard Portrait Session
So a couple of weeks ago, my dear, sweet friend and fellow wedding photographer Helen Howard and I were chatting and the subject of swapsies came up - I could photograph her and her son, Jacob, while she could photograph me and Avalon. Now, as a wedding photographer I...
2014: Rear View Mirror
2014's Rearview Mirror: What a year...I became a mom, shot only ten of my own weddings (and assisted at one for the brilliant Helen Howard Photography), took on an assistant (Jamie Ricketts Photography will go stratosphere soon), worked with some brilliant clients and...
