Nadia & Mark Engagement Session

It was the perfect night for Nadia & Mark's engagement session in Elder Park.
At one point the swans were keen to join in the session but soon left us when they realised we didn't have food!

A perfect night with Baylee & Martin

Baylee & I have played lacrosse together for about 25 years! So I was completely honoured when she asked me to capture her wedding day with Martin (coming soon). We caught up this week to do their engagement shoot (and a little pre-wedding photo prep) at Henley Beach jetty. It was a perfect night with the most perfect lighting. Looking forward to seeing them on their wedding day now and doing it all again... with a bit more detail!!

Happy little family! Welcome to the world Lyla

A Right Royal Celebration!

Us Hack girls celebrated our birthdays this week and we tied in the Queen's Birthday celebrations in with ours! We played croquet, pin the crown on the Queen, had a ping pong shooting gallery and had a big cake piñata (which got smashed way too early!).
All round - a great fun afternoon with friends and family!

Smith Family - Botanic Gardens

We had been waiting for a day where it wasn't raining, as it seemed like every time we booked a time to do the family shoot with the Smiths it ended up raining. So finally a few weeks ago we got the chance to meet at the end of a Wednesday in the Botanic Gardens where the sunshine was glorious and warm!
Little Jasmine was not so keen to have her picture taken but we did manage to snap some of her.

Jasmine & Blake's Surprise Wedding

It's not everyday I get to photograph a Surprise Wedding. Jasmine & Blake thought it would be a fabulous idea to catch everyone by surprise at the celebration of his '30th Birthday' - well this is what they were using as the reason to get everyone together! It was arranged that all the guests would be bussed up to Lazy Ballerina Winery where Jasmine & Blake would meet them. On the way apparently they began to twig as to what was about to unfold before them and they were in great spirits as the story unfolded and the truth revealed!
The day was just gorgeous and celebrations carried on at The Barn in McLaren Vale for lunch post ceremony.
Celebrant Bronwyn Lindsay was fantastic as she worked with the heckler in the crowd!

Congratulations Jasmine & Blake!

Meet Eliza

Marissa & Trent were kindly given a photography voucher from some close friends during their pregnancy so they could have baby shots taken when the time  was ready. So 6 months down the track I had the pleasure in capturing Eliza. When I got there she was just waking up and I had forgotten how lovely little babies are when they just wake up - very alert, quiet, smiley & snuggly. She was divine. 

For the next hour or so we set about capturing the 3 of them around the house. Little Eliza was pretty pooped by the end of it but we caught her being her gorgeous little self.

And I hope that every year she's photographed on her beautiful chair so eventually after 21 years they have a collection of shots showing her growth! I LOVE that chair!  

Thanks Marissa & Trent & it was lovely to meet you and Eliza.
