Baby Riley | Melbourne Photographer
Friday, September 18th, 2009
This week I photographed my very cute second cousin, Riley. He is the first offspring from any of my cousins so you can imagine everyone is super excited to watch him grow. I don’t get to see Riley very often as he lives in regional NSW, so I was super pleased when his mum Trisha asked me to photograph him while they were down in Melbourne visiting. I can’t believe how much he has grown already! He is the cutest ( I may be slightly biased) and most smiley happy baby.
Engagement photography session | Wedding Photographer Melbourne
Monday, September 14th, 2009
Last weekend I photographed Jovana and Davor’s engagement session at Queens Park in Moonee Ponds. Despite it being a very warm afternoon the wind was out in force. However, we managed to find some sheltered areas throughout the park and didn’t get blown away!
Jovana and Devor’s wedding will be in the Yarra Valley later on this year. It sounds like it’s going to be a lot of fun, with an importance placed on having a great party! I can’t wait to photograph their wedding.
Adioso @ the hive Melbourne | Melbourne Photographer
Friday, September 11th, 2009
Once a month I photograph the Hive events at the order of Melbourne. Hive is a networking event for entrepreneurs. Each month they get entrepreneaurs to speak about what they’ve done and how they got there. It is really interesting to hear about sucessful entrepreneurs got to where they are today. The speakers are usually brutally honest about how hard they’ve worked, how much they’ve struggled and luckily how rewarding it all ends up being.
The most recent Hive event’s guest speakers were Tom and Fenn from Adioso. Adioso is a fully flexible and natural language flight tool. Basically, it is an awesome way to find and book flights online. I’ve personally used it numerous times and can’t stop raving about it…It just makes so much sense. You can type really vague searches such as Melbourne to Japan in October and it finds you all the discount flights for that route in October instead of having to search specifically for each airport in Japan or every date in October.
I actually first met Tom and Fenn about a year ago and they are just lovely down to earth guys who on a backpacking trip came up with an idea… So support adioso.com and keep an eye on their story as I am sure it will be the next big thing…

Blog Love
Monday, September 7th, 2009
I’ve neglected this blog lately. I’ve been so busy here at Lizzy C HQ that I haven’t had time to share any of the great engagement-sessions, portraits and the kick off to the wedding season on this blog. I’ve just had a rejuvenating weekend in Sydney so I hope to post more regularly in the coming weeks.
For now here is a snap I took in Sydney over the weekend…
Sydney, A President and Miss Australia… | Melbourne Photographer
Thursday, July 30th, 2009
On Sunday I flew to Sydney with the guys from Change The World. This fantastic project will enable six teams made up of ordinary Australians to go out into the community and spend six months changing the world, and maybe even themselves, for the better. If this sounds like something you would like to be a part of, click onto the Change The World website and register your interest.
While we were in Sydney, we had the opportunity to spend some time with José Ramos-Horta, the President of East Timor, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and a driving force behind East Timorese independence for more than 30 years.
As soon as President Ramos-Horta speaks you begin to get a sense of the passion he has; not only for East Timor, but for making the entire world a better place. He had some really interesting things to say in regards to how individuals can make a difference, and seemed to have a strong respect for people who volunteered their time and resources to try to make a positive difference in the lives of others. It was a truly humbling experience to hear this from a man who has spent most of his life doing just that – fighting for the rights and freedoms of others.
I have photographed numerous politicians and leaders in the past, but President Ramos-Horta was completely different to any of them. For a man with such a distinguished political career he was humble and gracious, and made a point to acknowledge and thank everyone in the room for their presence and participation.
While in Sydney we also spent some time working with Caroline Perberton, a former Miss Australia who has agreed to be one of the spokespeople for the Change The World Project. Caroline is also passionate about making a positive difference in this world, and demonstrates this through her involvement as a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF. While her work with UNICEF has taken her from Kenya to Uganda, she is particularly passionate about the Baguia Orphanage in East Timor.
We also spent a great afternoon interviewing Sydneysiders about what they would do to change the world.

It’s all about Balance | Melbourne Commercial Photographer
Wednesday, July 15th, 2009
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.
Baby Blue Eyes | Melbourne Family Photographer
Friday, June 12th, 2009
Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing the lovely Jacobsen family. Freya who has the most amazing blue eyes was an absolute pleasure to photograph. Apparently, she’d kept mum and dad up all night, but I wouldn’t have known. We didn’t see a single grumble, cry or even whimper during the entire session! Freya is 6 months old, which is a fantastic age to photograph babies.
J & B’s Retro Inspired Wedding
Wednesday, April 8th, 2009
Despite the massive thunderstorm and potential flooding, in true Melbourne style the weather turned around completely for Ben and Jessamy’s wedding!
Talking of true Melbourne style, check out the bride and groom!
Melissa Jacob from the ceremony store conducted Ben and Jessamy’s relaxed and quite amusing ceremony at the St Kilda botanic gardens which was followed by croquet in the gardens.
Ben and Jessamy have fond connections with St Kilda and liked the idea of including the urban landscape in their wedding photos. So we wandered from the ceremony to the reception and snapped some great shots on the way. Ben even became a part of the city landscape when a pigeon resting on an eve above decided to drop his business on Ben’s shirt! Ben and Jessamy weren’t phased at all, we had a good laugh and continued on! See photo of Jessamy tenderly wiping off said poop from Ben…
Ben and Jessamy I wish you all the best of luck (not that you’ll need it, thanks to that pigeon!)
Business profile photos
Wednesday, April 1st, 2009
Have you ever thought about what potential clients think about you?
Everyone knows that it is important to make a good first impression. So you’ve got the bells and whistles website, a great product and you may even offer personalised customer service. Then why do your staff profile photographs make them look like escaped convicts, or worse, why aren’t there photos of you or your staff at all? Who is offering this personalised service?
Professional photographs illustrate a professional image. Why would you have a professional-looking website without professional content?
Jane from MIRO (Enterprise Management Solutions) approached me for some business profile images of herself which would provide a tangible face to a largely virtual business. Above all she wanted her photos to communicate the values of her business including professional, trustworthy, fun to work with and relaxed. The photos below are a small selection of photographs from her session.
Makeup was done by the talented Nicole from Made Gorgeous (9489 -8856)
J & B’s urban e-session
Monday, March 9th, 2009
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, Jessamy let it slip that they were inner (perhaps outer nerds) and well anyone who knows me, knows how I believe we all have at least a bit of nerd inside! To me these guys meant nerd in the best possible way; quirky, fun and willing to try anything!

Trinidad, Cuba
waiting for something | Melbourne Photographer
Monday, January 19th, 2009
Another photograph from Cuba, my Central America series.
It feels as if every doorway or window in Cuba has someone sitting or standing in them. Usually they are either watching the passers by, chatting to neighbours, or just hanging around.
