Outdoor Newborn Portrait in North Lakes
Newborn portrait with Milly the Labrador When Samantha got in touch to book her newborn session, she really wanted something outdoors and to include their first child (so to speak) their Labrador Milly. We arranged a session for Lake Samsonvale nice and early in the morning with Grandma coming along to help with the dog during the session. On the morning of it was overcast, but no rain forecast, so I set off for the lake. As I arrived, it was pouring down! Worse than that, the council had closed the park (no idea why) and the big yellow barrier was across the entrance. I phoned Samantha and we…

Couples portrait at Shorncliffe Beach
It was a truly stunning morning down at Shorncliffe Pier for Elisa and Michael’s portrait session. The sun was shining, although it was a little fresh for the 8am start. We walked all over the park. Starting at the jetty, then the trees, on the grass and then out onto the beach to finish. Having had their last photo shoot done in New York, the look and feel this time was totally different (which is of course what they were aiming for). It was super lovely to meet this couple and update their portrait collection. Couples favourite photo: on the jetty BAC Favourite photo: back to me looking at…

Family Portrait in the morning sun at Shorncliffe
It was so lovely to see Kylie, Jamie and little Lucas again! They booked in with me last year through National Family Portrait Month and when the charity was running again, they jumped at the chance to book in again and update their family portrait, especially while Lucas is young and growing and changing so much. Lucas was no different to last time. A boy who was on the move! Things to do, adventures to have. I remember by boys being just the same. They loved the beach and the sand, the rocks and the sticks. Shorncliffe Pier is a super special spot for Kylie and Jamie, as they had…

Isla’s Newborn Portrait Session
North Lake Studio Newborn It was a beautiful session we had with Isla, Mum and Dad. She didn’t really want to go to sleep to start and was more overstimulated when I soothed her. We still got some beautiful photos even while she was awake, including using the new heart shaped bowl again. I also loved that the family had their own wrap to use as well ( the pretty floral one) as well as the white outfit she had on for the full family photos as well. It is always more important to me to use props and outfits that you have, than ones I have in the…

Beautiful afternoon portrait session at Mungarra Reserve
Family of 3 plus fur child family portrait Kshama found me when she found that perfect location for her session. The family had gone for a walk with the dog out by Mungarra Reserve in Petrie an thought, what a beautiful spot for portraits. When they got home and looked up local photographers, BAC was top of the list. This is one of our favourite locations and makes the top 12 list we have published on our website. Included in the session was her husband, daughter Anuksha and the families four-legged member, Milo. There is so much variety at Mungarra reserve, so we started at the back by the creek…

Family Portrait in the studio – Schitts Creek style
When Matthew got in touch to book their session, he said that he and the family wanted to do their session in the style of ‘Schitts Creek’… If you’re like me and have never heard of it, it’s a TV program on Netflix. So a quick check on google and I had an idea of what they wanted. Mostly something with the two armchairs. In the studio we have the nice cream ‘chaise’ lounge but not arm chairs… thankfully my friend Juanita who runs a hair dressing salon, had two in her waiting area and let me borrow them for the session. Score! So we used the chair arm…

Family Portrait with Twins in the studio
Sandie enquired about a family portrait with me and over the phone let me know their predicament. Although Sandie was Australian, she and her husband and twins, Harland and Isabelle lived in London! They had come out for an extended Christmas vacation and had gotten stuck here with covid and didn’t want to fly back with the twins and risk getting infected… so here they still are, almost at the end of the year now, living with her parents, waiting for things to open up again so they can travel home. Hubby has been super lucky that his company is allowing him to work remotely although the hours are not…

Kiyara and Samara Newborn Session – North Lakes
Newborn portrait session with big sister. When Sangeetha came in with newborn Kiyara and big sister Samara, we had a job on our hands. Samara still needed some convincing about this new little person that had just entered their family and she was not always keen to lay down with her sister or sit with her or give kisses. It took Mum and I all out powers of persuasion to get them together, so that we could get Mum that much wanted photo of her two girls together. We did get some of Mum and Bub as well (sadly Dad was already back at work but we will bring him…

Kahlia & Nick Zimmermann and baby Noah
Noah was such a delight! We had him all booked in on a Wednesday but Dad phoned me on the day to say they hadn’t slept a wink, bub had been up crying all night, they were tired and had over an hours drive to get to me. I told them not to panic. Get sorted out and then we would re-schedule the session. Stressed parents = stressed baby. Two days later they came in and all was better in the world! Don’t let those closed eyes fool you! Noah did not sleep his entire newborn session. He came in at 15 days new and although he had a long…
