Bright Eyed Girl


This little baby girl was too cute.
Her big bright eyes and curls were adorable.

Singing lots of Barney and bringing granny along to get great smiles was in order.

A baby that has just started crawling needs lots of props to keep them in front of the camera. A rocking horse and some teddys did the trick.

Just One Bite


Professional models are often booked to promote brands, products or in this case a venue.

This restaurant wanted these three beautiful models to be in their advert. Photography for advertising is all about what stands out, what is going to promote that brand the best way.

Many hours later and these models did a great job at helping me get that perfect shot - the one that will be printed in magazines or put up on billboards.

Look This Way

Models have much to think about when it comes to their look. Hair, make-up and choice of clothing are all vital. At the photo shoot it's all about attitude and confidence. The photographer can help guide with the poses but it is all up to the model to kick it up a notch.

This model made the photo shoot run smoothly with her knowledge of how to pose and facial expressions.
I am constantly researching fashion trends and looks to keep up with what's in the now. Model's portfolios are their stepping stones into the industry and I try my best to give them the best possible entry.



Mother's Love


Photographing people to me is the art of portraying relationships. Relationships between baby and mother/ father, between siblings, between couples or friends are all complex and intricate. To show some of this feeling through photography is what I try to attain.

This mother and her sweet baby girl obviously have a very strong bond so it was easy to bring that across.
Capturing the emotions at the right time is the challenge.

Here I Am

Some children enjoy having their pictures taken...they even love it!
It really was the case with this little sweetie.
She just couldn't get enough - and neither could we.

Forever Friends


What a fun shoot this was!
Girls you really had a good time and your photos show it. These five friends brought along some champagne and music, the mood was very playful.
A lot of poses and also a variety of candid pics make a good shoot.


Make A Wish


Beautiful colours and fabrics make photo shoots more successful. This little "fairy" had a great wardrobe for her photo shoot. The vibrant colours and texture of her scarf worked well. Her skirt was stunning!
My wish for you, little fairy, is to always smile like on that day of your photos!

Tiny Twins



What cute little twin girls, it was such a treat to photograph them.
I really could't tell them apart with their matching hair styles and dresses.
Their photo shoot was so sweet while they hugged and played together.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun


These girls had a great time on their photo shoot.
We tried some fun poses like...
lying down on their backs with their hair spred out and
some black & white images with only one red dress sticking out.
Well done girls!

Three Generations


These beautiful ladies are three generations: daughter, mother and grandmother.

The photo shoot included all the family members but there was a definate magic when these three got together.

Good news is that there is now a fourth generation as a little baby girl was born, congrats!

Little Pink Princess


This little angel was barely a month old when she came for her first photo shoot.
She was trying to play along with us but half way through decided she would rather nap.
With a few sips of her bottle and some singing and snuggles she gave us some gorgeous shots.
Well done baby Shirali!

Curly Confidence

This little cutey had so much confidence - it made her photo shoot a breeze.
She took care of the poses and smiles and I had big fun capturing it.
All the best sweetie pie!
