I've just returned to Exmouth after a fabulous two month visit with friends and family back in the USA.
My sister had a gorgeous baby boy, Beau, in December, and I was so happy to get to meet him right away and spend some time (not enough!) with them.
Now I'm back here, enjoying the summer (when I left the US it was -25c!!) and getting everything ready for a wonderful 2012 of photography.
I am again taking bookings for weddings and family, maternity, newborn & baby sessions. Please email me to check on availability for your date and to receive all of my new 2012 package offerings.
It's a fantastic time to order those canvas prints you've been dreaming about because I'm running a 3 day sale starting today! You'll save 20% on every canvas in any size.
Your order needs to be in by noon on Sunday 6 November, 2011 (W.A. time) to take advantage of some great savings!
Had the pleasure of photographing another Exmouth family yesterday evening and we headed over to Hunter's below the Lighthouse to take advantage of the fantastic weather.
Can't resist sharing one of Grandpop & Grand-daughter!
I know it's only October but the holiday season is approaching fast and deadlines for getting our Christmas cards out to loved ones will be here sooner than we think!
I have sessions available most days from Wednesday 19 October through Sunday 7 November, 2011, so we should be able to find a time that works with your schedule. As always, an hour or so prior to sunset (and after sunrise, if you're an early riser!) is the prime time for outdoor & beach sessions so please keep this in mind when you are planning.
I've added a new product for this jolly season: personalized holiday photo cards. These can be customized to not only include your favourite photo from your session but you can create your own greeting, too!

Already booked your session or have you already had your photos taken? Drop me a line because I have some great specials for you, too!
Hurry as spaces are limited!
Aiden is just the cutest and most active three week old bub I've ever seen. He insisted on staying awake for our entire session and didn't get grumpy at all (OK, he did once, but only for a tiny minute!) He seemed so interested in everything going on around him, his expressions were just adorable and so much fun to capture!
His mom & dad are pretty fantastic, too!
It was super windy on the day our session was scheduled and Renee & Paul really wanted some outdoor shots so we considered rescheduling. Instead we split their newborn portrait session into two parts - indoor and outdoor the following morning. Of course, it's Exmouth, so it was really windy the next morning, too, but we persevered and found a little patch that was at least partially protected from the southerly for Aiden's first beach trip.
He slept through the whole event.
Can't forget the canine members of the family! They are both so good around Aiden, totally excellent siblings.
Once again, I've fallen in love with the whole beautiful family!
Baby A. turned 23 days old yesterday and is already a superstar model. His mom's pretty awesome, too.
Put them together and it's perfection!

And because no post is complete without a photograph, here's one from the Wilson's fabulous family portrait session at Hunter's Beach in Exmouth!
Anna and Wayne got married at the Novotel Ningaloo in Exmouth on Thursday and I got to spend a couple of hours with four generations of Anna's family before the ceremony.
Some of my favourite wedding day moments happen during these "getting ready" times.
Sophie thought her mom was just the most beautiful mom ever and couldn't resist kisses as Anna's mom (YaYa) and grandma (also YaYa!) looked on.
A fantastically gorgeous family and I headed to Town Beach in Exmouth for some family portraits on Tuesday.
I love how happy they are!
I can't think of a better way to end 2010 than with one of my favourite families down at the beach!
A long, long time ago (OK, September 2009, but it seems like a long time ago!) I introduced you to Benjamin - then already an adorable rebel!
I'm here to tell you that he's staying true to his rebel status!
His super-great big brother Dylan did a fantastic job posing and helping with his little brother.
A moment between mum & bub from a recent family portrait session down on Town Beach in Exmouth.
I had an excellent time with the Wilson Family for their second portrait session (their first was way before my blog was going!) the other day.
B & Z had a great time burning off some energy running up and down the sand dunes!
My Grandmother died yesterday.
I'm at a loss on what to say as a tribute as everything I try to put down seems awkward and incomplete and totally inadequate. The feelings are still too raw and too close to the surface for me to start sharing all the wonderful times we had, all the strength she gave to me and all the love I have in my heart for her. I'm holding those things close for now.
I loved her beyond measure and she was enormous part of my life. I will miss her terribly. Her passing leaves an huge hole in my life, my heart, my soul. She was such an incredible lady to me.
Her love and support and belief in me were some of the most powerful forces guiding me as I stumble along life's path.
She thought I was better than I am, stronger than I could ever be and kinder & more generous than I ever showed.
I aspire to make her proud and to be even half the person she saw.
I love you, Grandma.
At the end of September I made my way to the Bay Area for an excellent family portrait shoot at Muir Beach, north of San Francisco. We had a thick cloud layer hugging the coast that didn't burn off completely and I've decided that I kinda love shooting in those conditions - not very common in Exmouth, Western Australia, so I hope I get to do more photography sessions next time I'm back in the US!
Love this northern California backdrop for portraits!
Random shot of my Dad in the bobcat after clearing out more snow - no real reason for the photo, I just love him.
