This is my third year documenting the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. Last year I shot Mardi Gras 2009 and it is one of the most colourful, fabulous Sydney events on the calender and every year it just gets more amazing. There is an incredible energy to the whole night and it is one of my favourite projects of the year. It is about 5 mins long with about 200 images and all shot with the 16-35mm Canon L series lens. Grab a coffee and enjoy and feel free to leave some blog love xx

I recently spent a weekend shooting in Melbourne and had the pleasure of meeting Mandy and her gorgeous little family. Mandy requested a low key candid family shoot, lots of sunlight and a golden field for a big wall canvas. Whilst we had cloud at times, we managed to have a lot of fun with the late afternoon sunlight and the kids were running around mum and dad the whole time. The energy was amazing and we even managed to see some kangaroos at one point. Mandy is also a photographer in Melbourne so make sure you check her out.

Thanks so much Mandy for spending the afternoon with me, your props were so sweet and I think the kids had heaps of fun!

A gorgeous family garden setting, relaxed bride and groom, intimate wedding party, sweet children, fabulous house and such fun photographing with Katie. This was her brother’s wedding and she wanted to shoot but also wanted to enjoy the day so it was a great set up for both of us to shoot or take over as need be.

The day was overcast and intimate, the food was divine and mostly cooked by her brother as well and the dress was green! The whole day was completely amazing and thank you again for letting me into your gorgeous family circle to capture it for you. It is no secret that I love second shooting on occasion and this was truly just the perfect day for this and I had a lot of fun with my tilt shift lens as you will see. There were so many favourites, I included mostly the more creative ones I get to shoot when I am assisting so enjoy!

This little girl was very interested in my camera and followed me around for a large portion of the wedding

As a 2nd shooter,  I can have a little more fun with the classic formal portraits

And then it was out to an urban carpark with a bottle of wine and a very happy couple for some last images of the day

The number 20 is for Dec 20th, their wedding day

I have a real interest in documentary photography that I pursue in my wedding work and on personal projects. I am drawn to images that depict our modern day society and its diversity, images that challenge stereotypes and tell someone’s story of interest. I have a love of sports, especially those that are not so mainstream and I have been including them in a personal project. Below are images that I captured for Hacksaw Promotions when they held a big Muay Thai event a few months ago. My husband has a love of Muay Thai and first introduced me to it years and it has fascinated me since. It was incredible to see men and women getting smashed inside the ring, the colours, the culture, the determination and skills were inspiring.

I really love stop motion. Here is the latest one from the Carson Hall epic car park shoot Take a while to load but patience! It is worth the wait.

For those that don’t know, stop motion films are lots of image stills spliced together to look like a jumpy film …. I find them so much more interesting that normal video and they make me laugh every time! There are over 800 photographs put together to make this film below, enjoy!

Canon Photo5 is on again! I was a finalist the first year and a category winner last year and very excited to have another go. This year there was a low light category, a close up category of 100s and 1000s, a portrait of black paper glasses, liquid to splat and a few lens hood to create bokeh and my entries are below. Good luck everyone!

The garden is blooming so the watering can is out … perfect pale pink flowers bought to you by the yummy softness that is polaroid

the holga looks like a toy, feels like a toy and needs gaffa tape to hold it together.
it has a dreamy and haunted quality that is such a breath of fresh air in a world inundated with pin sharp perfection.
the holga steals my joy and keeps it on that little roll inside, and the only way to get it back is to develop it on paper.
i believe it may just have magical powers.
