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…

Fun family portrait Shorncliffe Beach
We booked Frances and her family in for a portrait down at Shorncliffe by the beach and the weather that day did not disappoint! We had lots of fun the with kids, running and jumping around. We started up on the grass, then headed onto the beach as the sun slowly went down in the afternoon. This session was special to me too! It was the first one we did a vlog for. What’s a vlog you ask? It’s a behind the scene video captured during the session of the family having their portraits. I had my 2 videographers (my two boys) who came along and captured the footage for…

Ayvan Newborn Portrait – North Lakes Studio
What a beautiful newborn session. Ayvan made my job easy (He almost slept through the whole session), as did big sister Aanya! It was so lovely to capture images of them together. She was so caring and careful with her new baby brother. We of course captured some beautiful family images with them all together, some with mum and then with dad. Then we did some images of just Ayvan and I was super happy to use the new heart shaped prop. The family ordered one of our 30×12″ framed wall storyboards! I love these. They tell the story of your session and come framed and ready to hang on…

Couples maternity portrait – Shorncliffe
It was a beautiful afternoon down at Shorncliffe for Alana and Luke’s maternity portrait. I brought some dresses with me but thought Alana looked stunning in the navy blue top she wore to the session, so we started off the session with that. Then when we moved round the the park, we changed her into one of our Olivia dresses in light blue. Then it was down onto the beach for the rest of the session for some couples portraits and some of this glowing mum to be on her own. Couples favourite image: Couples close up in the navy blue top BAC Favourite: Front on close up of Alana…
