I absolutely loved this in home lifestyle session with the Walter Family! 
Not only did we capture so many precious memories of their new, gorgeous baby boy Lucas and oh so many priceless family bonding moments with mum and dad...but we also managed to capture some amazing 'sibling' shots with their cheeky little furbaby as well haha 
​I love my job! 

They have traveled the world, worked their way up the ranks in their careers, bought their own home and raised a few kittens..the only box left to tick was to become mum and dad...
​So they did that too!
I have loved sharing your journey and capturing your memories Paul and Sam..

Welcome to the world baby Connor!

To find that one person that your heart and your soul cannot be without... that kind of love is such a blessing but then to create a new, little life from that beautiful love... I still find that mind-blowing!
​
​Em and Jase you have created the most amazing little fam.. and I have loved being able to capture your memories each time your family has grown. 

Welcome to the world Indi.. x

One year ago I was chosen to capture Aaliyah's newborn memories and last Wednesday I was lucky enough to be chosen again capture her 1st birthday memories... 

It is seriously crazy how much a little one can grow and change in just 1 year... no more, itty bitty baby that cant move around {well not this little miss anyway!} 

Aali was crawling head first into the waves, waving at all the puppies and even made friends with older kids (after she stole their ball haha not that he cared)

But aint nothin gonna hold this kiddo back, Little Miss Confident is here to take on the world!

Amanda and Todd were the lucky winners of my Mother's Day 2018 Competition! So not only did I capture there stunning sunset Maternity Session.. I also got to meet and snuggle their amazingly gorgeous bubba, Romy! I deadset have the best job in the world!!!

On the 24th of July I popped into the Sunshine Coast University Hospital to meet and snuggle this gorgeous baby girl.. not even 24hrs after she arrived!

Jasmine and Jamie.. well done...!!! Addison (all 6.3 pounds of her) is utter perfection.. 

I don't have rules for my sessions.. I let your kids lead me. If they want to cuddle we cuddle, if they want to move and play, we move and play.. if they need food then I am totally ok to wait and have a chat. My sessions come with no pressure because I want you and your entire family to be comfortable and feel completely free to be yourself. In the unposed, unrestricted moments.. that is when the magic happens... 
I love my job... and I love capturing your story! 

Back in 2015 I had the honour of photographing Amy and Jim's magical wedding day in Noosa, so when Amy contacted me about being her newborn photographer, I was over the moon!
​I love being able to share my clients milestones.. I love being allowed to witness, and in a way share in their story.. 

Being a photographer is the best job in the world.. because it never feels like work. Every session is new and exciting and based around family and love.. 

​People always email me and ask if I have any space available for their newborn session.. and I ALWAYS say yes, even days before your due or when im otherwise pretty flippen busy.. When it comes to newbies.. I will ALWAYS find a space. These sessions are my fave.. my absolute happy place.. and how could they not be.. I get to snuggle perfect little bubbas all the time.. {sigh}

Having your session within your own home is amazing.. not only because it brings your own style and personality to the images but also because we don't need to wait for 'golden hour' and rainy days are no problemo, so yes.... I will be able to capture your bubba's arrival memories and I would absolutely LOVE too! 

Brand new baby wrinkles, tiny hands and feet, those gorgeous/humongous baby yawns.. I wouldn't miss it for the world! 

I met baby J on a rainy day back in May and boy, oh boy.. didn't he just deliver the cuteness!!

Back in June I received a phone call, the kind that I guess that you never want to receive but also the kind that I felt blessed to have received.. and soon you will understand why..

Courtney, the sister of a dear friend and past client of mine rang me and mentioned that what she was going to ask me was 'quite a sensitive matter' both time sensitive and emotionally. 

She then went on to say that her sister Rachel was pregnant with her third baby and Courtney was wondering if I would be available to capture a maternity session for her sister and if possible bubs birth as well. 

Without a second thought my heart said yes... but before I could answer Courtney went on to say Rachel's little bub has Trisomy 18.. and after having many scans and tests done they had been told that that this tiny little bubba wouldn't make it.

My throat instantly swelled, tears fell and my heart seriously broke for Rachel and Jake...
I couldn't get my head around it, I mean this gorgeous couple already have two perfectly healthy, gorgeous kids.. so why and how... could this happen to them!!

I told Courtney instantly that I was in, that I would be honoured to capture their memories and document this little bubbas life!

I say it all the time but to me photography is so much more then 'images', its creating lasting memories of moments we may never get back.. and these moments for Rachel and Jake, well they were exactly that! 

Although baby Luca passed before his arrival, his little life, his story and the immense love of his family has touched my heart and changed me forever. It was such an honor to be present during this incredibly emotional time. 

Little Luca has taught me is to never take life for granted.. love those you have, with all that you have and live a life full of gratitude!

To help give you a little information about Trisomy 18, here is an excerpt from chromosome18.org:
“Babies with Trisomy 18 typically have complex medical problems. Birth defects are very common in these babies. They may have defects of the heart, brain, spinal cord, and other internal organs. Cleft lips and palates are also more common in babies with Trisomy 18. They may have hand and foot anomalies. Babies with Trisomy 18 may have difficulty regulating their breathing and temperature. They may also be unable to feed properly. Because of the large number of potential medical problems, babies with Trisomy 18 are usually considered “medically fragile”. Most children with Trisomy 18 die before or shortly after birth.”
