Master Travis was born on the 11 June 2013. He is an adorable little man. I had the pleasure of photographing him when he was just 9 days old. He was a very alert little man, but I am more persistent than he was stubborn and we got a great series of images from his session. Please enjoy this small selection from the session and the slideshow which contains special messages to Travis from his mummy and daddy.

I first met this gorgeous family in early 2012 when I photographed little Darcy at around 3 months old. So I loved having the opportunity to photograph them again, see how much little Darcy had grown and get to enjoy some time in their presence again. This time I got to meet the furry first born as well – Boris. I used to be a dog trainer and am very much a dog person (well, I’m an animal person full stop really! ha!) I love it when families include their pets in their family session. They are family after all 🙂
I love to photograph newborn babies, they are so new, cuddly and super sweet. I got to spend a lot of quality time with Mr Tom, how lucky am I!. This lucky baby has a beautiful big brother and a gorgeous mum and dad. I don’t photograph on green very often…in fact I have had this green wrap for ages and hadn’t used it. When mum said she wanted green, I got very excited and pulled it out! Yes, I think I quite like green!!
Autumn is a beautiful time of year, so where better to do an outdoor family session that in New Norfolk amongst the lovely yellowing landscape! It was a beautiful afternoon, with amazing light and wonderful weather. It did threaten to rain and a couple of times we had some light spitting – argh! But nothing was going to deter Jet. He was there to run and have fun; rain, hail or shine!
A few Sundays ago I caught up with this lovely new family to photograph their new baby girl. We planned for a session in St David’s Park, but the rain was just enough to have us heading indoors for a coffee and a few more photos in the shelter of a local Hobart establishment, who were VERY accommodating. Thanks guys 🙂
Miss Eleni Mei was super sweet. I got to catch up with her again tonight and my gosh she has grown. Her parents have approved a small sneak peek for you all. Enjoy!
Beautiful little slideshow here. The song featured is called ‘Happy’ by Secrets in Stereo

I recently photographed gorgeous baby Kobi with his mum and dad. This is one of those super special sessions as I was friends with mum in Primary school, she lived 4 houses down the road from me growing up. So it’s awesome to see her all grown up and being an amazing mum to baby Kobi.
Now let me tell you about baby Kobi…he is a HOOT! Such a funny little dude with the BEST smiles and little laughs. He cracked me up! I was even laughing while editing his photos, they took me back! haha
Enjoy this wonderful little man.

On Sunday 3 March I photographed a special day. Thomas and Martina are from Germany, on holiday in Tasmania for 5 weeks. On Sunday they were married at Fleurty’s Cafe in Birch’s Bay, Tasmania. Yes, they eloped!
Congratulations to you both. It was a BEAUTIFUL wedding to photograph and an absolute honour to be apart of. A very special mention also needs to go to Anissa and Karsten, the bride and groom’s friends and witnesses, especially Anissa who worked hard to pull it together for the happy couple on the other side of the world.
Here is a selection of images, I hope you all enjoy.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing the wonderful Boris. Male models in Hobart are in short supply, so Boris has quite a few photoshoots! hehe It was wonderful to work with Boris, lighting men is very different to lighting women I find. Soft lighting suits women, whereas harsher lighting suits men, especially when they have lovely muscles to define with the light and shadows.
So here is a small collection of images from my session with Boris. He was a wonderful model and a wonderful host. Thanks Boris!
Boris is getting married in about 5 weeks! So we thought we’d do a couple of shots in his get up as well. All the best for your happy future Boris and Ayda!!

Matthew and Bridget are a genuinely lovely couple, I knew from the moment they got together that they would be together forever; they are a perfect fit for each other. Something special happened for this couple on the 1st of July last year. Let me tell you about it.
Mt. Field is one of Matthew and Bridget’s favourite places, which they visit often. It really was no surprise that Matthew decided that this was the perfect place to take the girl of his dreams on an outing unlike any other they had been on. Bridget loves the snow, so they drove to the very top and embarked on a walk in the snow around Lake Dobson. The perfect opportunity presented itself when Bridget found a place to play in the snow. Matthew’s hands were cold and Bridget was wearing gloves. Matthew was a little scared that he might drop the ring. Matthew proposed and Bridget accepted, after quickly removing her gloves!
This is Matthew and Bridget. I thoroughly enjoyed this session because Matthew and Bridget were beautiful to watch. They weren’t cracking out cheesy grins, or poses that felt awkward and foreign for them. They were themselves, which is beautiful and genuine.
Thank you so much for sharing your love with me, I hope you both had a wonderful time.

On Tuesday night I had the honour of photographing the EP launch for local Hobart singer/songwriter, Tim Davies. The launch was held at Jack Greene, Salamanca, Hobart. Tim makes beautiful music and is a lovely bloke as well. Here’s a bio on Tim from JJJ Unearthed:
“Hailing from the southern shores of Tasmania, singer/songwriter Tim Davies uses an amalgamation of acoustic guitars and vocal harmony combined with electronic soundscapes and aftershocks to create a euphoric journey into mind, space and the inner rumble of life and the human condition. The transitions from raw, hard edged, rock through into ambient fluid is a true exploration into the senses of the modern alternative genre. After having, over the past 10 years, shared the stage with some of Australia’s most iconic performers, Tim has found his own way of creating a mystic and yet dirty road into rock and roll.”
You should definitely ‘do yourself a favour’ and check out Tim’s music. You can find his website HERE and listen to some music HERE (and like his facebook page while you are at it 😉 ). I think ‘Heart Attack’ is my favourite track off the EP 🙂
This is Tim’s EP launch in imagery.
