I am a self-confessed stationery addict.  I'm not sure what it is about stationery, but I am sure it's something you either love or don't particularly care about.  I definitely love it.  I love to pick it up; I love using big loopy handwriting to write a letter, jot down thoughts or ideas or doodle [...]

Most often in Japan cities are filled with national chains.  The same coffee shops, restaurants, isakayas (Japanese pub for eating and drinking), department stores and the like can be found in every city.  When I lived in Japan I used to go to one Isakaya which I thought was so individual and cute.  I discovered [...]

Recently I photographed Kate James from Total Balance.  Total Balance is a boutique coaching and training organisation, who offer face to face coaching in Melbourne and Sydney. Total balance works with a range of clients but Kate works predominately with creatives and people in the well being sector.  I can highly recommend her as I [...]

One week, and two different business coaches... Last week I photographed Anne from Total Balance, a boutique training and coaching organisation with coaches in Melbourne and Sydney. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Anne who is extremely friendly and open.  She wanted new photographs for her website and for these  images to especially illustrate her capable, [...]

Recently I got together with Samantha Bell to take some photographs for her to use on her website.  Sam is a a personal mentor and a business consultant.  She is also a hoot to work with and has a really inspiring personality! Despite some initial nervousness of Sam's we had a great session with lots of laughs and some [...]

Sasha contacted me because her mum was visiting from Perth so she thought it'd be great to get some family photos together in Melbourne.  Everyone braved the weather and we went outside to explore.  This meant feeding the ducks by the lake, hoola hooping and hanging out under the autumn leaves. 4 year old chole was an absolute [...]

I caught this moment while photographing business profile photos for Sam Bell, while she was waiting for me to set up. I liked it, so I thought I'd post it. If you like it, leave a comment! Will post more from her session soon...    

So as I mentioned in my previous post, the amazingly talented husband and wife team, Peter and Emily from Living Lens came along on an engagement session that I photographed recently. The video attached illustrates a session with Lizzy C Photography and showcases Emily and Peter's stunning work.  See the photos from this session here.

I've been a bit behind with this blog, I've been very busy working on jobs for my commercial clients of late. However, I thought this engagement session with Liz and Nathan could rejuvenate the blog!  Liz and Nathan got all rugged up and braved the Melbourne cold for this photo session with me! They were [...]

A couple of weeks ago Bruna, Natasa, Edi, Maria, Saskia, Michael and Natalie all got together for a family photo which spanned three generations. Here are a few of the photos from this session... Thanks for a great session, it was lovely to meet you all.        

Jessamy and Ben's e-session took place the other evening around St Kilda. They both have fond connections with the area and wanted the urban landscape to be a part of their photographs.  I love the Urban landscape that makes Melbourne "Melbourne", so naturally I was thrilled with the idea! To make the whole experience perfect, [...]

Baby Ami didn't mind having her photo taken at all. Actually she was more interested in looking at the camera and the flash, which she found fascinating!  The photo session might have been a bit tiresome though, as after a little while she had a little grumble and was quickly rocked to sleep!      

Looking for a valentine's gift with a difference? How about a portrait session for you both.

I'll be back on track with blog posts now that the festive season is over and I'm back in the country. Keep checking back to see where I was and what I was doing. In the meantime these are some family photographs of the lovely Robinson family.

I often get asked if people can include their pet in their photo session. And I always answer: Of course, why not?!  So when Sandy & Oliver mentioned that their dog snowy was like their baby, it seemed not fair to include him in their photo session! Sandy and Oliver run a web development company called [...]

Annette's friends got together and gave her one of my photo session gift certificates for her birthday. How thoughtful are Annette's friends!? So last weekend I photographed Annette and her family. Her two girls are absolutely adorable and even though Eloise's word of the minute is 'no', I got some great cheeky photographs of her.  So [...]
