Made for it! {Isla}

You know how sometimes you come across those people who are doing what they love and they are just so darn good at it that you think to yourself... "that's what they were *made* to do!". Well, that's what I got to thinking when we met Roger, Jayne and their 1yo daughter Isla last week. I am positive these guys were just *made* to be parents! You could tell they just loved being with her and hangin out, playin in the sand... talkin about Makka Pakka and the crew. It was actually kind of inspiring!

Enjoy the sneak peek!



luvin the afternoon sun!And shot of the day went to Brett for this stunner :)

Ryan & Lisa's {Wedding!}

I don't know what it is, but we seem to get *the* nicest customers on the coast. Everyone is so fabulous and lovely, it really does blow me away sometimes, and makes me feel so blessed! And these guys were no exception, they were totally laid back beach babes! Lisa is probably one of the sweetest people you could ever meet. Throughout the entire day I could hear her complimenting and thanking everyone just for being there. In the midst of the big day it's easy sometimes to stress and worry about the little things, but Lisa was just livin for the moment and appreciating everything she had worked so hard and planned for. And that is just so nice to see!

We met the girls at Ryan & Lisa's beautiful house at Koala Beach for the usual detail and bridal shots. We got there just in time for a few finishing touches of hair and makeup which was done by Amber Demas and looked amazing!

The ceremony was at Club Banora, then we headed back to Hastings Point for Bridal Party shots. It was just stunning there! The sun was perfect for some *sun kissed* shots and as it set the sky went a beautiful pink pastel colour, I was totally lovin it!

Congrats for a beautiful wedding and best wishes for a amazing life together! xo

We Love feedback! Don't hesitate to leave a comment for us or Ryan and Lisa! :)




Their little princess, Tayla...

Jay & Paula {Engagement Session!}

Phew! We have had such an electric past few weeks and there is no sign of it slowing down in the near future, which is great (!) but it means that I have been a little slower than usual in posting sneak peeks. I really, really needed to get this sneak peek up asap so, *walla*!

These are photos from Paula & Jay's engagement session we did last week at Fingal. They are now less than a week away from their big day {sooooo exciting!!!!} so stay tuned for their wedding sneak peek in the near future! These guys decided to book in their engagagement session so they could use a pic from it at the reception for a signature frame. Then after their wedding they can swapsies the photo for a wedding pic (clever huh!). :)

In the coming days I hope to show you exactly what we've been up to. There are a few weddings, kiddos, engaged couples, commercial AND a shoot that i am *just* about to walk out the door to that im so(oooooooo!!!) excited about that I could harly sleep last night. I could tell you what it is, but i'm going to build the suspence until the sneak peek! :}

Have a happy Sunday!

Their gorgeous daughter Chloe

Such {happiness!}

So, this morning I was on the phone to Jody (Jody and Karl) who just came back from their honey moon in Malaysia (so jealous!) and after talking about their *perfect* day and how amazing (!) it was, we got to talking about the blog and about posting comments... Apparently some of her friends had tried to post and it was like rocket science, crazy, confusing hard! So I got Brett onto it and it's so true! To post a comment it can get so confusing if you aren't a 'blogger' member... which is really annoying! Over the past few weeks I have been looking at changing to a new blog place anyway but now I want it even badder!

Then the funny side is, after Brett did his *test* post I realised that I had to approve his comment. So I went into Blogger and I found a few little surprises! There were other comments in there from way back awaiting my approval! So to those of you who tried to comment and the confusion is beyond you, thanks anyway :) , and to those of you who have commented and thought that I rudely rejected your thoughts, sorry, i'm just not too bright sometimes! :}

Well, I am right in the middle of like 11 edits at the moment, which after the weeknd will turn into 14, so I really, REALLY need to get back to it! I have a few sneak peeks to upload this arvo so until then, have an amazing day!

...lastly, beacuse posts are better with pics, here is a little treasure i dug up from a while ago. This is Poppy, our bunny who sadly decided to run away from home after he was all grown up :(

Chris & Julija - {Engagament !} Session

Last weekend we met Chris & Julija for their engagement session at Fingal. They received a gift voucher as an engagement present which is *such* a great idea! When the towels have holes in them and get chucked on the floor as bath mats, the dinner sets are all odd bits and miss matched, and that *beautiful* vase aunt mary gave you is totally outdated, your engagement photos will still be as dear to you as the day you had them taken. :)

Anyway, back to Chris & Julija... They were such a great couple, totally and naturally in love! Chris popped the question at Byron lighthouse (awwww....!) so we thought we could use this beach/lighthouse theme in their photos. We didn't quite make it to Byron but we did the next best thing and used our resident lighthouse at Fingal! Speaking of Fingal...(oh, dear Fingal... like my *ALL-time-favorite* location for beach shots) well, she took a bit of a knock during the last storm and it aint so pretty. The dunes I adored for dune shots are now cliffs, the trees I used for shade are horizontal in the sand and the rocks are now 3 meters deep in water... Incredible!

Here are a few sneak peeks from the day. If you would like some info on engagement sessions or gift vouchers, don't hesitate to contact me! ;)

Little {Jarrah} ...

I have this little "light pool" I discovered about a week ago and ever since I've been *dying* to use it in a shoot! We stumbled across this *new patch* while on on afternoon drive and "WOW", it was like love at first sight! Both Brett and I were strategising the possibilities days later... dreaming of out first session there...

So when Kat, Jarrah's mum, said she was up for a country shoot, you can probably imagine how excited we were about putting our new patch to the test!

Well, the new patch lived up to expectations, she's a beauty! The light...the backdrop...the warm and cosy atmosphere... what more could you ask for...?

So, if you too would like to behold the splendour of our new patch with a country shoot, we are only a call or a click away!

Here are a few from the afternoon :)

Ian & Kristy's {cave} Wedding, Tuesday 5th May

I think in the last post I mentioned an early start for Karl and Jody's wedding, well that was nothing in comparison to Ian and Kristy's wedding! These guys got married at Mt Tambroine, in the morning. I *LOVED* how different their wedding was! It's so nice when you come across a bride who likes to mix it up a bit. :)

The ceremony was held in a cave (YES, I said CAVE!) at Cedar Creek Estate. I'd never been to a cave wedding before, but i totally fell for it as soon as I walked in! There was such a close, warm atmosphere in there and for photos it was so nice and dramatic. There were stalactites, stalagmites, little water pools... everything you expect to find in a cave I guess. ;)

We then had photos around the grounds of Cedar Creek estate, with gorgeous autumn tones everywhere! Then we headed to Thunderbird Park for some more snaps inside the reception room which was just like an old stone cabin with an open fireplace to boot.

Mt. Tamborine is definitely one of my fave spots at the moment. There are the most *A-MAZ-ING*! views , the cutest little shops around and wine tasting! ... the perfect place to celebrate your big day...

Congrats guys, thanks for letting us share in your spacial day! Brett & Kristie xo

We LOVE feedback :) So don't hesitate to lave a comment for us or Ian & Kristy!
