Andy & Jess's Engagement shoot - Kingaroy Wedding Photographer

On a beautiful summer's afternoon, Andy and Jess ventured over to get some engagement photo's on our farm. This time of the year in the South Burnett is so pretty.

This E-session was just amazing! The weather. The location (Yes, I am biased). The GORGEOUS couple.

Not only were they a gorgeous couple, they were fun and willing to do anything I asked of them... and more.

And the love between them...well... you can see it in the photo's. I enjoyed just watching them together. Beautiful...*sigh*

Here are some of my favourite photo's from the session. I have SO SO many favourites it was VERY hard to choose which ones to post. These are not even half my favourites!!















How CUTE are these guys...seriously??!!








Pefect end to a perfect afternoon...




Thanks SO very much Andy and Jess...You guys are the best...xox

Family Portraits - Kingaroy/South Burnett Photographer

When Vanessa contacted me about getting some family portraits done, I was really excited, because she had seen some earlier images taken on our farm and wanted to drive over an hour so they could have some of the gorgeous backdrops we have here in their photographs. I was only too happy to oblige... :)

This is the second time I have shot this growing family....first, when little man C was only a tiny baby. I couldn't believe how grown up the kids were when i saw them again.

The kids had a ball, exploring the wide open spaces, all the treasures a working farm has, and playing with the new addition that arrived just after they did, our puppy.

Here are some of my favourites from the day...









Baby D...

Newborn photography is one of the most precious experiences for me...not only because babies are beautiful, soft and have that lovely baby smell...but as a mother, nothing in this world is more fulfilling than the joy of having brought into this world a precious little person you have had growing inside of you for 9 months. Although my youngest is now 6, I remember the feeling as if it were yesterday....the strong maternal instincts at holding a newborn is something we women are so fortunate to have.

To capture them at this precious age is such a reward in itself...the first two weeks go by in a blur for new mum's (and dad's)...and having beautiful photo's showing how small they really were, are a wonderful reminder of this fleeting moment...


This week, I have the utmost pleasure of photographing little baby D at this tender age, with his mum and dad, Kirstie and Wayne.

Here are some of my favourites from their newborn session -:



Proud dad, Wayne...


Beautiful mum Kirstie...Doesn't she look amazing!! :)

Little D...











Summer is in the air.....


You know its getting close to summer when the flying insects hang around your outside lights at night, when you only sleep with a single sheet over you... when your washing dries in 20 minutes flat on the clothes line!

Here in beautiful Qld, summer has come early and along with the heat, is all the fun that comes along with it...Swimming, summer dresses, long warm afternoons....and lots of bbq's with friends :)

I haven't shared personal photo's for a while...so here are a few that screams summer, fun and family...to me :)


My dad and the kids at a local waterhole...











Summer dresses.....






GORGEOUS afternoon light......






Thanks so much for visiting

Keith and Renae....Kingaroy/South Burnett Wedding Photographer

Last weekend saw Keith and Renae exchange vows at a beautiful garden ceremony on the outskirts of Kingaroy - Sunny Ridge Gardens. A morning wedding, the Qld sun and heat were out in full force, but the joy, love and excitement shown by everyone attending outshone it all.

The very calm Keith...and his beloved pooch...

Keith and Renae both had their children give them away on the day. Here, Renae's son gets a helping hand to get ready.....

The colour scheme of their wedding was Red, Black and White...my favourite!!

Renae spent the morning getting ready with her very special Grandma. I LOVE this shot of them together...it really shows their close bond....

Instead of exchanging rings, Keith and Renae chose to exchange monogramed necklaces...each wearing the first letter of the other. Beautiful and so very original....

Keith and Renae....

I hope you enjoy your sneak peek Keith and Renae... :)

Gavin and Wendy's wedding.....Kingaroy Wedding Photographer

I had been looking forward to photographing Spud (Gavin) and Wendy's wedding for a long time. Not only do our children go to school together, they are also good friends of ours.
They are very well known and loved in our small community, ...and the old church was absolutely packed with standing room only...and over 100 people standing outside, waiting to get a peek of the beautiful bride.
Since being told of their plans to marry...and all the fantastic details of their wedding...I couldn't wait for this day. They had everything from old cars, old sheds...and even this beautiful, quaint old church in the middle of nowhere, to hold their nuptials.......




Wendy had a vintage-inspired dress which suited the theme of their wedding perfectly.....The tiny beading and details on her dress were just STUNNING!!


Here, her beautiful daughter, Macey, looked gorgeous in her fuschia-coloured dress...She really thought she was a princess for the day....



The gardens where the formal photo's were taken was absolutely stunning! They were actually at a local farm where the owners were keen gardners, and kindly let us use their property to shoot in and around....

From gorgeous gardens, to old sheds...this place was AMAZING!!





The day was perfect Queensland weather....a beautifully warm, spring day.....and ended with much fun and festivity held at the local hotel that Spud and Wendy own & run, the Maidenwell Hotel.

Thank you must also go to my wonderful assistant, my hubby, for helping me out on the day. He made the day alot of fun and had the bridal party laughing and enjoying themselves for the whole day...

To Spud and Wendy...thank you for letting me document your most special of days...x

Nathan & Mei-Lin's Wedding...Kingaroy Wedding photographer

Saturday was a beautiful day for a wedding. Nathan and Mei-Lin (who is expecting) were married in a beautiful garden ceremony in Kingaroy. We were lucky the dust storms that were around didn't affect us and the weather was a perfectly warm spring day.


The girls got ready at a picturesque farm house overlooking a beautiful valley. The house had the most beautiful light streaming in the huge wooden windows and doors.
Here are some favourites of the day....







At the garden ceremony, the family had a "Sand-pouring" ceremony - this symbolises blending families; giving each child a role within the ceremony and highlighting his or her importance within the family unit.




A beautiful moment. Nathan looks on lovingly as his new wife signs the register...




I love this shot and the look on everyone's faces. Their little boy sneezed just as we were about to take this shot...and he's holding, well, you know what... :)
