When Breath, the movie based on Tim Winton's book of the same name, was filmed in my home town of Denmark on the amazing south coast of Western Australia, I was fortunate to be involved in the stills photography.

In March and April each year, Australian salmon run in large schools off the shores of Western Australia. This time sees the fishing families living in their old beach shacks in salmon camps along the amazing south coast.

This week I combined a rigorous exercise workout with a photo shoot as I hiked to the top of Mt Frankland, near Walpole, Western Australia with all my camera gear, to photograph author Sarah Drummond for The Guardian (UK) Weekend magazine.

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.

If I had to choose just one word to sum up Ryan and Hayley it would be Warmth. From the very first phone call it felt like they were old friends so it was lovely to actually spend some time with them, checking out their ceremony and reception locations before heading to Little Beach at Two People's Bay, just east of Albany, recently.

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.
