A couple of Exmouth locals

I love living in Exmouth!  Driving home from a meeting I saw this beautiful emu strolling in the last afternoon sunshine over in the bushland across from our house.


And the next day I had a startling visitor next to my phone!

Nikki & Michael's wedding

Nikki & Michael's wedding at the Ningaloo Novotel Resort on Saturday was great fun.  The day was stunning with brilliant blue skies and a gentle breeze off the Gulf to keep the temperature just right for the festivities.  Nikki & Michael are a fun couple and they both looked smashing for their big day.

Nikki had plenty of pretty sparkle


The boys were giving Michael a bit of a stir before the ceremony


The red-gold light in the lobby made the girls glow


Dad was so proud as he walked her down the aisle

and around the pool

which added amazing colour


A first kiss where the land meets the sea

and more smooching

...a stolen kiss


The ring-bearer, Jordan, took it all in stride when he was finished with his duties


Michael helped with Nikki's dress as they crossed the bridge to join their guests


Michael couldn't resist sneaking a look at the footy scores on this last weekend of the regular season




Nikki and her bridesmaids


Kaye, Michael's mum, made the wedding cake and the couple shared another kiss before slicing into it


It was a joy to photograph this wedding and I wish them the happiest of futures!

True Blue portraits

I had the opportunity to do some portrait sessions at a remote station here on the Nor'West Cape and it was a big change from the white sand beaches!  The horses weren't very interested and mostly just stood snoozing


DJ is a great kid who really embraces the Outback way of life and attitude



but that doesn't mean that he doesn't appreciate the modern toys, too!

Kade & Zack

Yesterday was the first of my Winter Portrait Sessions and I had fun shooting Kade as he played with his cars and bounced on the trampoline. His younger brother, Zack, was happier to hang out with mom and dad but rewarded us with a huge grin a few times!






Who can resist such a quiet moment between father and son?

I really enjoyed my time with them and hope to do more with them in the near future!

There are still session times available for next Saturday, 16 August, so contact me soon to grab your own Winter Portrait Special!

Winter Portrait Special

I am back in Exmouth after a wonderful month in the United States! I wasn't able to post much while away as I did not have consistent net connection most of the trip, so I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things now that I am home.

It's summer in the northern hemisphere and I'm finding the cold winter mornings here to be a bit of a challenge! But the warm days are glorious with beautiful blue skies and deserted beaches.

This is the perfect time to create timeless photographs of you and your family and I'm offering a special portrait day for next Saturday, 16 August. Sessions are $75 and are available by appointment only. Every session also includes a FREE print of your choice.

Please contact me on 0438 433 356 or via email kristin@kjaphotos.com.au for full details and to reserve your session time.

Belated congratulations!

I'm currently overseas and have not had reliable net access all month, so the blog has been a little barren! Now that I've found a minute or two on a good connection I wanted to say a very belated congratulations to Steve & Louise on the birth of their first son, Trent James.

He's already a month old now and I am looking forward to meeting him when I return in August. Their maternity sessions were fantastic and I can't wait to add some beautiful baby and family shots to their collection!
