Perfect Angel - {Gold Coast Photographer}

During the weekend I had the joy of meeting Miss Kiera, what a perfect angel she was as well. She gave me lots of smiles to start with and then perfectly dozed off for some lovely sleepy photos.
Robyn and David, hope you love the photos, your little Miss is adorable!
Talk to you soon.

Lots of family fun - {Gold Coast Photographer}

During the weekend I had a lot of fun photographying this extended family. The littlest girl in these pictures you may recognise from some previous shoots, Miss Sophie's mum contacted me and asked if I could do a shoot for her family, and all her in laws. SO 7 adults and 3 kids later I'm sure you'll understand why I have posted such a big sneak peak.
I hope these guys had as much fun as I did and thank you for being such good sports when you got wet!
Will be in contact soon.

A glimpse of sunshine - {Gold Coast Photographer}

Recently we spent the weekend on the northern beaches of Sydney, while my eldest competed in a national gymnastics competition. Being part of something likes gymnastics means you have a lot of friends that become like family. During this trip we spent a lot of time with one of the other families, their daughter and my daughter totally adore each other, its nice to see such beautiful bonds between the kids.
The weather was terrible. But finally on our last day we got to spend a bit of time in the son over at the beach.
Here are some of my favourite photos from the day :)

True Beauty comes from within! - {Gold Coast Photographer}

I loved this session so much, I knew I would though!
I have known Tamsyn for a while and she looked stunning when she was pregnant with her 1st baby, so I was very keen to capture her with number 2. We finally got around to it, due any day now and looking absolutely amazing!
I have so many favorites from this session, here are a few of them, I think I might have to do another post with some more later in the week, with some of the more creatively processed ones.
Tamsyn, Sasha & River, was an absolute pleasure to catch up with you guys today. Can't wait to hear about the impending arrival of your little miss or little mr, all the best for a beautiful birth xxx Rana :)



And this last one would have to be one of my favs I think :)

Love was in the air - {Gold Coast Wedding Photographer}

When I received an email from Leisa asking to me to photograph her wedding I nearly jumped off my seat, I was so excited :) and surprised, I work with both Leisa and Glen and I must of been walking around with my head in the clouds as I was totally unaware of their upcoming wedding. Of course I said yes. I am so glad I was given the privilege to share their special day, what a beautiful day it was. Leisa looked absolutely breathtakingly beautiful (I'm sure Glen agrees with me) and their were many a damp eye during the ceremony, I will admit, even I teared up, especially when they said in their vows "I will not promise to love you because I have no say in it, it just happens" The wedding took place in the stunning hinterland location of Ruffles Lodge. It truly was a perfect day, I hope these photos do it justice.

Leisa and Glen, I wish you all the happiness and joy in the world, have a fabulous honeymoon, are you sure you don't want me to come and photograph it for you (they are off to Africa -SO jealous!!). I will be in touch when you get back.
