When the planets align - sometimes you find yourself in a perfect location with beautiful winter’s afternoon light, a gorgeous family wearing colourful clothes…and pelicans.

It's always lovely to meet new families and it's extra-special when you know you're going to be photographing their wedding this year too. I loved my afternoon amongst the sheep and kangaroos with Deanne, Glen and Georgia, and a soundtrack of raucous black cockatoos.

A little photo shoot before Julian heads off to study at WAAPA (WA Academy of Performing Arts). Julian's been in the same year right through school as our kids so I've seen him grow up, and watched his talents as a performer emerge. And now I'm looking forward to watching the next chapter of his life get written.

Lucy was keen to get some gorgeous black and white family studio portraits for their home, with husband Nico, daughter Coco and labradoodle Marlow. The prints look amazing!

If you've been to Denmark and you're a foodie, chances are you've been to Pepper & Salt Restaurant and tasted Silas's amazing food, which gives a solid spicy nod to his Fijian Indian heritage. As Silas says, Ang is the Salt to his Pepper, and their three children are the spicy blend of the two!

At some point I really want to do a blog post about my recent exhibition called Lives Well Lived. However, now's not the time as I combined it with a pop-up studio and I'm still crazy-busy with session bookings and post-processing. Once I've caught up on myself...then will be the time!
