Meet Jon & Marnie. Wonderfully creative owners of Bergan Blue. Parents to beautiful Sibella. And dear friends. If I lived around the corner from this gorgeous family, Marnie and I would be terrible housewives but expert bakers and tea drinkers in no time ;-) As it is we spend a decent chunk of our time emailing, SMSing, Facebooking, Instagraming already!
These guys made a flying visit to Brisbane to catch up with friends, so we thought we’d combine a catch up with some family, couple and individual portraits. We had a blast! It was also a real treat to see our girls meet and become fast friends.
I hope you guys enjoy your images. Very much looking forward to the next time we can catch up again xx

Meet our wonderful friend’s second baby, Ben. Little brother to Grace. This gorgeous man is such a chilled out fella, nothing much bothers him and he is so happy to go with the flow. A dream baby :)
Here are the images from both Ben’s very quick newborn session, and another session a few weeks later.

Yvonne is a new friend, a new cyber friend, we met in an online mothers group for women who were due to give birth in September last year. It’s a great mix of women, all of whom feel like trusted friends now - even though only a few of us have met in real life because we are spread all across Australia. So it was a real treat to meet Yvonne, Paicey and their gorgeous little man, Lachlan when they were holidaying on the Gold Coast.
When we first met online, Yvonne so kindly mentioned that she’d love to have me photograph her baby when he or she was born, but with her family living in Victoria and us in Queensland, that always seemed so unlikely. What a treat it was for us to make it happen recently! :)
Thank you for asking me to photograph your lovely little family Yvonne, it was a great afternoon. Most of all though, it was wonderful to meet you in person. How nice to know that ease of online chat just flows on into real life ;-) Here are a handful of your photographs …

Trish is another beautiful friend from high school that I have had the great joy to photograph recently. Trish has always been a big cheerleader for my work and business (xx), and we had been talking for a while about organising a session to capture her partner Rowan’s girls and their family life. Seeing as I had only met Chloe & Anna once before and we expected them to be a little shy at the start of our session, we decided to start our day with something to distract them from me and my camera, so they made lamingtons together.
A big thank you to Chloe for testing the light beforehand so we knew when would be the best time to photograph in the kitchen!
Licking the bowl is always the best part :)
Then we headed to a local park where Trish’s grandfather used to take her as a little girl.
Chloe is so intelligent, and just stunning – I almost wish this image was in colour so you could see how amazing her complexion is and the perfect shade of auburn that her hair is. She was so easy to photograph!
Anna is one funny kid - she had me in stitches as I edited these images full of her crazy faces! Anna had turned 5 years old only the week before our session, so was a little more interested in playing with her birthday gifts than having her photograph taken, but she still obliged ;-)
Thank you all so much for such a fun morning, and thank you again for my beautiful flowers Chloe & Anna – I love them!

We have finally finished documenting the first year of Grace! She wasn’t a happy chappy at all on this day, but she still managed a little smile here and there for me. I can’t believe a year has already passed, and she is standing, and chatting and becoming such a little girl! 
Grace showing off her awesome clapping skills - too cute!! 
Amanda’s brother has been living in the USA for the past few years and has just come home for good, so we had to get some shots of Grace with her very proud uncle!
And lastly, a look at Grace over the past 12 months, at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months – so grown up now!!
