Newborn session in the Studio
Andrea got in touch looking for a newborn session when baby Wyatt was just 1 week old. When your pregnant, life flies by so fast, and the 9 months are gone before you know it! It often happens that mums look to book in a newborn session while pregnant, but before they know it, bubs are born, and you find yourself looking for a photographer! I was grateful to be available that week for the family. We got them booked in and did Wyatt’s newborn portraits when he was just 12 days old. To be incorporated into the session, the family brought with them a beautiful knit blanket and bonnet…

Mummy and Me – Studio Portrait
Mum and her son – Nicholas Anja came to us through National Family Portrait Month. One of our charity programs that we participate in every year. This year we were raising money for BeyondBlue. Little Nicholas was just 4 months old when they came in for their session. Still happy with tummy time but not yet sitting up. Anja had an arm work out to start with not just holding Nicholas but lifting him in the air for some big smiles. When then sat them on the couch and finished with a little cuddle. He was pretty tired by the end… it’s hard work being a model! This was…

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…

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 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…

Generations Family Portrait just for Mum – North Lakes
When Mashi got in touch she was organising a big family portrait for her Mother in Laws Birthday It would be for her husband and his 2 brothers, their parents, the brother’s partners and then the grandkids.

The family order Mum (Grandma) a beautiful 30×12” storyboard – one of our most popular…
