Commercial Portrait ~ Composer/Musician
David is the brains behind Cloakroom Music. Cloakroom creates original music for commercials, TV, film, brands etc. David needed some photographs of himself which showed off his creative flair but also appealed to his corporate clients. These are some of the images we came up with…
Commercial Portraits ~ Image Consultant
This is important because, as she states on her website social psychologists have determined that visual presence contributes 55% to the impression we make on other people.
Hint, this may also be a good reason to have great photographs on your website!!
St Cuthbert’s and Glen Harrow Wedding
Ellen and Tom are not only a delightful couple but they have an amazing support network of family and friends. Extremely talented family and friends at that! Their wedding day had so many beautifully thought out personal touches. For instance, the girls put all the flowers together, Tom’s mum made all the bridesmaid dresses, Ellen’s mum made the cake and Ellen sang a beautiful song for all the guests!
As you can see all of it came together perfectly and it all looked stunning! There were so many beautiful moments and images to choose from but I couldn’t post them all here…
so here are a few highlights….
Toby and Cally~ A Daylesford Convent Gallery Wedding
I can’t even start to put into words how their beautiful day unfolded but I think Cally’s mum Kate does a pretty good job in this beautiful email that she sent me.
From the mother of the bride,
Hi Lizzy – I just received C and T’s engagement session photos that I ordered. Thanks so much – they are wonderful – so looking forward to seeing the wedding pics! I have had many people say to me that you seemed wonderful on the wedding day. I must say that I myself hardly noticed you were there – and I presume that is the highest accolade – that you were “invisible” and yet noticed enough that we have received commendations on your presence! Wasn’t Cally and Toby’s wedding just the most joyous event? The sheer emotional joy she exhibited – and his joy was just as evident, if more reined in – enabled all the guests to let go emotionally. I don’t think I have ever seen so many men cry at once! I recently asked Cally if going back to every day life was a let-down, and she said no, just being married was just too exciting. So I feel that in this day and age of trying to achieve the perfect wedding, because Cally and Toby actually wanted to achieve the state of being married, rather than wanting a “perfect wedding”, they did actually have a “perfect wedding”. They are extremely happy, and excitedly making plans for their future. Once again, thanks for your great work. I’m sure we will all be thrilled with the wedding pics. Thanks, Kate.
A beautiful personal touch were the cushions made by Cally’s mum, each was individual and were given to the guests as a take home gift. She also made the elephants for Toby and Cally, they have a bit of a thing for elephants!
Studley Park Boathouse ~ Restaurant, Food photographs and a Chef’s Portrait!
Royal Botanic Gardens and Soul Mama St Kilda Wedding
Engagement session
The weather was typical for Melbourne, it was cold and windy, then the sun came out, then it rained, and then the sun came out! None of this bothered Snez and Dean though! They just joked around and we continued on.
This is a small selection of what we got up too… (there are a few more of Snez here)
I hope you like your images guys! Dean I think you did awesome, there is definitely more than one decent one of you! Snez, Dean and I knew you’d look fab! Hope they fit the “bit different” requirements!

We worked together closely to make sure we had a brief that would ensure we would capture images which would appeal to their target market and illustrate the overall mood and feel of their brand.
The photo shoot was a sucess thanks to the following people: Rachael (My photographic assistant ), Amy (makeup), Paula (hair), Tori (Talent), Kelly and Louisa

Wow. We can’t thank you enough for your truly beautiful photos.

Thank you also for being so lovely and wonderful to work with as a hugely important part of our day, you’re an absolute professional xx
Website and Marketing Images
You can’t help but smile when you talk to Bridget. She has a lovely warm personality and is obviously passionate about what she does. Bridget is the director of Fresh Green Clean. Fresh Green Clean consult, educate and train organisations on green cleaning. In the process of creating a new website, Bridget realised that she needed good quality professional images to portray her message and what she does to potential clients. I did a range of photographs for Fresh Green Clean including Bridget’s profile photographs and images she can use on her website and promotional material to promote what she does clearly and concisely. Because Brigid works closely with people as a consultant and as an educator it was important that her profile portraits portrayed her warm and approachable personality. Her clients range from large corporates to cleaning companies so it was important to have a range of images that all clients could identify with.
From what I heard, while photographing her training course and talking to Bridget about what she does is surprisingly fascinating and I’ve picked up a few tip bits to apply when cleaning!
Thanks so much to Julie Sucksmith for teeing everything up for the shoot and helping out on the day too!
Images that reflect your unique personality
I like to think that maybe people who say this have just never found the right photographer for them…
Snez said this exact thing to me before I snapped these portraits at the end of her photo session – I hope that maybe I’ve changed her opinion…

I haven’t had much of a chance to blog post many of the recent commercial portraits and commercial work I’ve been doing recently. Being in the mist of the wedding season makes it difficult to do extra things like blog! I will endeavour to post more images here though!
