Client Spotlight: Marion Haydon
We recently spent the afternoon photographing Marion Haydon, a Melbourne-based organisational and personal coach. She specialises in helping her clients reach their full potential by showing them the things that can inhibit growth. She takes an individual, holistic approach to each job, because she doesn’t believe in a “one size fits all” approach.
Marion’s currently rebuilding her business after a short break, and as part of her new marketing plan, she decided she needed some fresh portraits. She said she was attracted to us because she wanted professional-looking photos for her website that weren’t stuffy. She knew exactly what she wanted to get out of our photo shoot, and she was really eager to capture portraits that showed her personality. She was fun to work with because she’s so passionate about her clients.
“Lizzy helped me relax,” Marion said after the shoot. “I don’t enjoy having my photo taken, but her warm sense of humour and her energy really helped. I really like the photos and will use Lizzy again in the future when I need an update.”

So I am starting to think that my clients are crazy. I mean that in the nicest possible way of course! I mean I actually rate someone with a little bit of crazy quite highly. As we are all a little crazy, right?
But to get back on track, When Teagan came in for her photo session she told me she didn’t take a good photo. Nothing wrong with that, that is pretty much the first thing every client tells me before I take their photo!
Why do I think she’s a little crazy? Take a look at the photos below! I think they say it all.
In all seriousness though I think Teagan is absolutely lovely and was a pleasure to work with. I loved the sense of calm she brought with her that enveloped the studio and me. Teagan is extremely friendly and has a bubbly personality with a big broad genuine smile. I instantly noticed that she has a sense of calm in her life. For someone who doesn’t have any sort of calm in their life I recognise and envy this quality. I’m sure her connection with meditation and spirituality must have something to do with this.
I think these photos encapsulate her personality. The feedback from Teagan was also positive! To quote ” Thanks! Everyone went nuts over the photos. I am really pleased with them.”

One of the things I really enjoy doing is photographing small business clients and consultants. I work a lot with people who are the “face of their business” They realise the importance of having engaging photographs on their websites and marketing material. Often they aren’t all that eager to have their photograph taken but an hour spent with me in front of the camera intertwined with general chit chat about business, life or the weather and a good laugh usually makes people feel relaxed and at ease in front of the camera. The result is engaging, friendly and relaxed photographs which illustrate their personality and business ethos.
Recently, I photographed Jacquie Molloy. Jacquie is an expert in corporate communications. She works with organisations and individuals to support those who are about to move into a new role, those who are in their first year of a senior role, or those who aspire to lead.
It was a pleasure to photograph Jacquie, as she was very clear on what she would use the images for and the image she wanted to portray.
Jacquie also had these lovely things to say about our session:
Lizzy is my photographer of choice! I love the way Lizzy is open to what I want but always aware of what will look best. She manages that ‘line’ very well. Consequently I feel like I am in the best hands and the proof is in the quality of the photos. I also appreciate the extra effort Lizzy takes to make sure I have all the formats I need and is very helpful with meeting sometimes tight deadlines.
* Jacquie does some acting on the side. The bottom middle one is a headshot for upcoming productions.

I love to travel, I love it when my work and travel come together. Sometimes I don’t mean for my work and travel to coincide but they do.
Last year I was in NZ for a ski holiday when Christchurch was hit by an earthquake. The earthquake was a magnitude of 7.4 and Christchurch was declared a state of emergency. The earthquake struck at 4:35am. The photos below are shoots I took that day.
The photographs were published in the December-January issue of Insurance and Risk Professional.
Despite living in Japan for a couple of years and feeling numerous earthquakes, I’d never seen or experienced anything like this before. I was impressed at how quickly the recovery efforts started and how life seem to continue on.

One of the things I like about my job/chosen career path is that I meet people from all walks of life. I’ve photographed people in the community, politicians, celebrities, business leaders and even a
president. But the people I often look most forward to photographing and feel most inspired by are the entrepreneurs who are just doing their thing . I like hearing their stories. I appreciate how humble they can be.
Recently I met and photographed a feature in Latte Magazine for Emma Isaacs who is the entrepreneur behind Business Chicks. A successful entrepreneur in her own right, she likes to shine the spotlight on other successful women carving a path in their own chosen profession. The focus of the current issue is on Natalie Bloom from Bloom Cosmetics. Natalie has managed to build a very successful cosmetics company despite humble beginnings. And to top that, she is also one of the easiest, friendliest people to photograph and work with! Some people are just too awesome!
The images I shot for the magazine cover and feature are below…
And if you don’t mind, I might just toot my own trumpet a little, this is a testimonial Emma wrote about working with me on my linkedin profile:
“Lizzy does a great job of photographing those who’d rather be someplace else! We hired her for a shoot for the Business Chicks magazine, Latte and she was super professional and a delight to work with. Well done Lizzy and thanks so much.”

In the process of going through old shoots and getting them ready to archive I’ve realised there are heaps of photo shoots I never got a chance to blog. These images were taken for Look East Australia. Look East are a wholesaler for jewellery stores and boutiques around the world.

Anne contacted me because she was starting a new business and needed some portraits of herself for her website and promotional materials. Anne is an image consultant. As soon as you meet Anne it is very clear that not only does she know her stuff but she is very passionate about what she does! In a nutshell, she works with people to understand what best colours and style they should wear so that you become more confident and comfortable with the image they present.
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!!

I love working with Studley Park Boathouse. It’s a beautiful restaurant and cafe on the banks of the Yarra. The staff are really friendly and they have great food. Recently they contacted me to take some photographs that the Age good food guide had requested.

For many years I’ve been meaning to enter the AIPP photographic awards. Every year I’ve made excuses, but this year I said to myself “I’ve got to do it” – so I did! It’s a little bit intimidating for a first timer. Basically, you can enter prints into a variety of categories and these are then judged by five professional photographers. The judging is open to the public and the prints can be commented on or debated about. It’s actually a really interesting process to watch. It was inspiring to not only see some amazing images, but to also hear the opinions of five acclaimed photographers as well.
In the end I did really well! I was named
AIPP Victorian landscape photographer of the year
and was also awarded
highest scoring print in the landscape category!
I also scored a silver award for a wedding image. I have posted all of the winning images below.

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!

I can honestly say that no two days are ever the same for me.
It isn’t every day that you get the opportunity to get right up close to snakes, lizards, cockroaches, stick insects, birds, possums, crocodiles and lizards – but I recently met someone who does!
Last week I worked with Josh from Reptile Encounters to photograph his collection of animals for his marketing material. The images will be used both on the website and in his brochures. Reptile Encounters run wildlife presentations for kids parties, schools and corporate events. I can see why the shows are a hit with both kids and adults – you can’t help but be amazed when you see these creatures up close. I grew up going to the Melbourne Zoo as regularly as most kids go to the local park (thanks to our FOTZ membership!) but it was nothing like seeing all these creatures up close and being able to touch them.

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 am one of her clients! She is awesome, becasue she gets how creative people work and works with you towards making sucessful business decisions while keeping to your values and style. I like that she gets that I am about scribbling on paper and not using excel spreadsheets!
Kate was looking for some new portrait photographs for her website and profile photographs for around the web. She is often quoted in the media as an expert in her field so she needed images she could supply to publications etc. as well. She is quite creative herself, which meant she had some great ideas. It was great to collaborate and work with her to produce images which illustrated her style and personality.
