Steve and Leesh (and Kirra) got married

And it was perfect. So sweet, so simple, so poignant.

Sometimes it's so easy to get caught up in the hoopla of a wedding, and forget what it's all about. Which is getting married, and celebrating with the people you love. When Steve and Leesh got married last year, they had planned a beautiful outdoor ceremony by a stunning river near Mt Buller, with an outdoor party to last all night. They had candles in the trees, wildflowers in vases, a dancefloor in the middle of an oval and accommodation on site, so guests could party the night away and crash and burn when they were ready.

But with 5 mins to go before the ceremony started, the skies opened and it bucketed down and it did.not.stop for the rest of the night. Not for even a few minutes. It poured all night long. So the outdoor ceremony didn't go ahead, the outdoor all night dance party didn't eventuate, but you know what... it so didn't matter.

I feel so lucky to share these with you. Two beautiful people who I love so very dearly and are very very special to me. Well 3 people really, now they have added gorgeous Kirra to their twosome.

Steve and Leesh, big love to you guys always. You mean more to me than you'll probably ever know xxx

Yes, the groom is a muso and treated us all to some tunes...

Amy + Brendan | Melbourne engagement photographer

So I'm shooting Amy and Brendan's wedding next month, and I'm sooooo excited!!! These two are just so cute, I just wanted to bundle them up into my camera bag and take them home with me!! We had their engagement shoot this afternoon, in the beautiful Melbourne evening sun. With their beautiful pooch, Henry, of course. He was awesome... Posing for me and being a bit too sweet.

Enjoy these Amy and Brendan.... I had so much fun with you guys (I was late getting home, hahaha!) and I simply can.not.wait for your wedding next month. Wheeeeeeeeeee!!!

Good golly miss Holly...

... you take my breath away. *love*

This chubby and most adorable little bean belongs to my dear friends Felicia and Gregg, who I had the pleasure of doing a maternity shoot with a few weeks ago. Remember the long grass, awesome sunflare, and the cactuses? lol. Check out their shoot HERE!

Anyway, a couple of weeks after our shoot the gorgeous miss Holly made her entrance into this big wide world of ours, stunning her parents who thought she would be a boy, and giving cause to celebrations in households all over Victoria (including mine!)!!

She really is one of THE cutest babies I have ever seen. The cheeks! The hair! The toes (lol)!! And not only was she a cutie, but also incredibly chilled and peaceful.

So without further ado, I present to you Holly! She brings sunshine into the lives of many, and is destined for beauty and greatness. I can't wait to watch you grow little one, and look forward to being part of your life for many many years.

Enjoy Flea and Gregg. Love you guys.

The addiction of light...

So as summer approaches and the days get longer, I'm finding myself addicted to shooting late in the afternoon and bathing in that gorgeous late sunshine. I don't know if I can shoot particularly well in it (lol) but surely if you enjoy it as much as I do, then it's worth it!

Add into the mix my fabulous best bud and her growing belly, and a WHOLE paddock of long grass, and you've just about found my perfect shoot. *sigh*

So without any further ado, may I introduce you to the gorgeous Felicia and the surprise bundle that resides within - due ANY day now (yippee - can't wait!).

Flea and Gregg (and Jet, you big slobbery goofball), I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Big love xox

ARGH!!!! How hot are these girls?!?

OMG! I had an absolute BALL with Jac, Amy and Liv yesterday. We played dress ups, got a bit cheeky, had a ton of fun and look at the result! Woah baby, this is my kinda shoot! I swore that what was said on shoot, stays on shoot, so there will be no disclosing of the shenanigans that went on behind the scenes, hee hee...

ENJOY!

(If anyone else out in blogland is after a shoot with their best buds, let me know... I'm up for it if you are!)
