So this blog post has taken me way longer than I would have liked! School holidays and being in my last month of this pregnancy have been about all I could manage right now. Thankfully, I am sharing these before bubs arrives! Like the family photos that we posted earlier in 2017, these images were taken by local photographer Stephanie Flay. To View More >>

Engagement sessions always bring an element of unknown. What do I do in front of the camera? Where do I look? What should I do with my hands? Should I look at the camera? It is also often the first time we are meeting our couples!  In general, the first fifteen minutes will be awkward. We try to set this as an expectation from the start! Some of the things we ask can also feel a bit awkward. On camera, what feels weird tends to look great, o ur goal being to capture images where our couples look their best AND tell a story. We do this through posing and our use of light. With all of that To View More >>

One of the most endearing things about where we live is that it is a beautiful balance of both country and coastal living. Having grown up in Sydney and spending much of my adult life there, this has taken some getting used to...in fact, I am still getting use to it after 5 years!

Yep, I am a sucker for greenery and botanically themed anything! In fact, I generally only buy greenery when I visit a florist and every plant in our garden has been selected for the colour of its flower (white!) and its ability to be cut and brought inside.  Which brings us to our new collection! An elegant botanical design, the Vines Collection is inspired by an earthy palette. If you are aiming for a country wedding, this may be the collection for you. On the reverse of each design you will find a simple leafy pattern with a mixture of greenery. As with all of our collections, To View More >>

Sometimes, I just crave a minimal approach to things. In this season of being a mum with small children what I crave most is slow - probably because life with little ones is never slow!  When designing and styling, I generally lean to a neutral colour palette. In fact, my home and wardrobe have been refined to this over the past few years - neutrals with a hint of green and blue thrown in. With that as a foundation, I then add some layers and texture to gently add some interest. You may even see me playing with this in my photography! So, when it came time to design The Minimal Collection, To View More >>
