Emily || An Ayr Mother

On a recent trip to Townsville we continued south to Ayr and this is where I was warmly welcomed into the home of Emily and her two, soon to be, three children for a beautiful motherhood session.

I highly recommend you book in for a shoot like this, and yes I’m aware I could be a bit biased. There is no pressure, there is no stress about what to wear or where to go and the water gives enough distraction that your nerves are settled. It also calls for your pretty special photos that show nothing but love and connection.

Jovana + Kids || A Townsville Family

When I look through these photos I see the same tenderness I felt when I first read Jovana earnest expression of love. I see an affectionate six year old boy who’s depth is beyond his years and will serve him well as he grows. I see a very cheeky girl who’s smile, laugh and personality is so affectionate you can’t help but fall in love. But most importantly I see a Mumma who’s devotion is palpable. I hope you can see that too, then my job will be complete.

Hayley + Kids || A Cairns Family

Through sudden and unexpected changes in Hayley and the kid’s lives she has come to understand the importance of photographs and memories. Both kids are in their early teenage years so I understand their apprehension in wanting to join along with Mum’s requests but as I look through these photos now I know that given time they will also understand the investment that has been made.

Cheriese + Boys || A Townsville Family

I am pretty certain that there could be no better location. Cheriese and her three boys spent the day revelling in the spring time warmth at Alma Bay, soaking up the joys of salt water and sand. It was early afternoon when I joined them and the bay was mostly ours, the sea breeze cool and refreshing and the sun rays warm and golden. We climbed rocks and explored their hidden secrets. There were many cuddles and much love shared. I learned of a mother’s love that would move mountains and raise glorious men. The boys outwardly showed that photos were not their thing but occasionally through this facade I would glimpse the excitement of being up to record their mother’s memories*.

Terry Family || A Nebo Family || Townsville Family Photographer

I’ve known Renee my whole life, you see she is one of my younger cousins. I’ve seen her grown through many different stages and most recently into the gorgeous mother that she is. But through it all I have never had the privilege of capturing her family, I have taken photos of her eldest but she sneakily snuck out of those ones. On my most recent trip to Townsville the stars aligned, our dates overlapped (her family lives in Nebo) and she wanted to update her family photos … cue happy dance!

Marrington Family || A Townsville Family || Townsville Family Photographer

Celeste booked this session for her family earlier in the year after they had to leave their home because of the Townsville floods. She was unsure how long it would be before they would be able to move back in but she knew when they did that she would like to celebrate with an in-home session. I’m not sure about you but I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate.

Finney Family || A Seaford Family || Seaford Family Photographer

Last week I was in Melbourne and in true Melbourne fashion, I was freezing! I am home and now and as is normal in North Queensland at this time of year, I am sweltering and waiting for first storms to roll in.

I could not be more grateful for the weather because the in-home shots are some of my most favourite and the kids claimed that cuddles on the couch was the best part. By the end the rain had stoped, though the skies were still grey and armed with an umbrella we headed to the family’s local Seaford beach. In short, it was spectacular

Skillington Family || A Charters Towers Family || Charters Towers Family Photographer

Never for a moment did it cross my mind that rain might be an issue in October, in Charters Towers, and yet here we were on the day of this long await shoot … overcast. Luckily it was all a threat and it ended up giving us an utterly gorgeous sunset and spectacular skies.

Skeat Family || Townsville Maternity || Townsville Maternity Photographer

This morning was an early start, the session was at 6:3am, it was Father’s Day, my daughter’s birthday and it was just the time that worked best for us, and I’m so glad we did it this way. Hamish was fresh, happy and full of cheek, his parent’s probably would have liked more sleep but that’s just parent life 🙄 and the light, oh the light was just glorious. I could babble on for days about all the reasons why I love these photos but just keep scrolling and see for yourself, after all I’m a photographer not an author.
