My family moved into our dream house – a 1970s mudbrick and wood designed by Alistair Knox – about 3 years ago. We’d been looking for a couple of years by then and, with our youngest only 3 months old when we happened upon this place, it really wasn’t the perfect time to move. But, […]

What should we wear? It’s a question I’m often asked before a photo session and my FAQ section answers ”You want to be co-ordinated, but not matchy-matchy.

Are you looking for the perfect plus size dress? I have gathered a list of online stores that stock some lovely dresses in sizes larger than 16.

A regular Tuesday in November, captured in photos. Mike worked an afternoon shift, dropping Milly off at kinder on the way to work, and Emma still slept for a couple of hours every afternoon. Milly, aged 3 and a half. Emma, aged 1.

Introducing baby Martha, at one day old. This was one alert little baby girl! I couldn’t believe the looks and expressions she was giving, after only 23 hours breathing air. Her parents, both UK expats, were head over heels in love with their little Martha and had booked a Fresh 48 session to share these […]

Introducing baby Isla, at two days old. Baby Isla’s big sister may have just stolen the show during this in-hospital session at Mercy Hospital in Heidelberg.
