Celebrating Real Motherhood
Celebrating the incredibly demanding, stressful, under-appreciated job that moms have should not be reserved for just one day a year....
Noosa High School – Year 12 Formal
Last Thursday night I was invited to photograph Noosa District State High School’s Year 12 Formal dinner. Let me just say, apart from the gorgeous dresses and dapper suits, there wasn’t anything formal about this incredible party.
Family
I only spent an hour early one Saturday morning with this gorgeous bunch, but when I sat down to process their images, I really enjoyed observing their relationships. Their natural poses, their playfulness and their friendships all shine through the finished photographs and show what makes them unique as a family.
Kaiwá Homestead
Let me introduce you to Dorival and his wife Estela. They welcomed my impromptu visit to their home outside Dourados in western Brazil. Indigenous to this part of the world, they are Kaiwá, the second largest indigenous nation in Brazil.
Dreaming in Austria
Majestic swans gliding on glassy mountain lakes, red flowers growing on windowsills, old skis stored above doorways, whimsical red balloons floating about for no reason - I never thought such things existed. At least, not all in the same place.
A Love Story
Ten years ago today I saw this beautiful face for the first time. I’ll never forget that moment.
Love like the Ocean
My bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep; the more I give to thee, the more I have, for both are infinite. – Shakespeare
Selena & Steph’s Commitment Ceremony
Selena met Steph seven years ago and fell in love. They've been looking after each other ever since and even though their vows aren't recognised by the state they made them anyway on a stormy day last November. They wanted to make their dedication to each other official.
Father of the Bride
One year ago today my little sister married her sweetheart. She was surprisingly calm that morning, patiently handling the three generations of women that had gathered to help prepare her for the wedding.
Cape Point Wildflowers
One cold foggy Friday last December I visited the Cape Point National Park, at the south-western tip of Africa not far out of Cape Town. The rugged terrain of the cape was covered in these gorgeous white paper daisies marking the beginning of summer.
Calm Perfection
Wandering through my archive recently my eyes dove into these vibrant memories of my beach last August: crystal clear, clean and impossibly calm.
Daisy Memories
These tiny daisies tell a story. In the morning of the wedding day the bride’s mother, aunty and grandmother worked together to prepare them for their special purpose.
Salvador’s Home
Meet Salvador. He is from the Kaiwa people indigenous to western Brazil. The Kaiwa are the second largest indigenous group in Brazil and yet one of the most marginalised.
Enchanted by England
To someone living in the small English town of Bath, this would surely be the most ordinary scene. Even tourists visiting this fascinating historical place don't come to photograph these very ordinary houses.
