‘The O Family’ at Home in Samford
Picture this: a sprawling acreage home nestled in the Samford Valley surrounded by the rolling hills of our beautiful area, the house is filled with laughter, love, the sound of football on the television and the smell of freshly baked chocolate cake. As a photographer, there is nothing quite like capturing the connection within a family in their own home. My time spent with 'the O family' was a truly heartwarming experience.
In Loving Memory of the Perfect Dog, Kaiser
A special boy born to be my soul dog. Seeing me from a new graduate veterinarian and Andy and I in our first home, through to marriage and two children. My first photographic muse, my yoga companion and the first to be sent grey by the children. Fifteen special years that I have overwhelming gratitude for. We love you Kaiser aka. Grizsla aka. Crazy Dog.

I'm a photographer based in Samford, Brisbane who specialises in and loves both. In this article I share my favourite questions you should be asking yourself to help decide between newborn photos in my studio, or the comfort of your home.
The Walsh Family
As I sit down to write this blog post, the memories flood back to me. The laughter, the tears, the embraces - all captured in the photographs I have taken over the years. It's a bittersweet feeling, knowing that as children grow older and families move away, those moments become more infrequent. But when we do come together, it is even more important to capture those precious moments of togetherness.

An Update for the Matthews Family
A family who books in for their photographs every year, this is how we record growth and show what each season looks like. I have captured each child as a newborn and love watching them grow, now I ensure I get each child’s individual portrait and I always imagine them printed big and hung in their home framed next to each other.
In Home Newborn Photography
I recently had the pleasure of photographing this gorgeous newborn baby and her family in their home. In-home newborn photography sessions always remind me of the comfort it can bring the family, not having to leave in such a delicate time of healing and bonding, the fourth trimester! It also makes me beyond happy knowing that there is going to be an extra special layer of memories in their photos, their baby’s first home!
