I captured a beautiful family session on a farm recently, and was blessed with this stunning view after the session was finished!

I was lucky enough to photography this beautiful family in Bathurst recently!

This adorable little girl just loved being in front of the camera, so much so that I got all the cute feels whilst photographing her!

Thanks Sammy, Scott and Violet for booking me to capture your family!

I haven't been sharing many photos from on the farm lately due to the number of client photos I have been taking, so it is only fitting that I should share one of the PTIC heifers that we will have up for sale at our annual @stanfordpollherefordsandworkingkelpies bull and female sale this Friday!

In August 2018, I was lucky enough to come across Click . Love . Grow in a Facebook group!

After seeing what a wonderful community of photographers was in the group, with some pretty amazingly talented people, I decided to jump into my first course to learn how to properly use my camera!

I got hooked on the amazing flexibility of the courses, the wonderful community, and the well laid out content and have since completed the enthusiast and advanced courses, and a number of shorter courses as well.

Then this ☝️ happened!

I feel so lucky to be able to be involved in such an amazing community!

Pretty excited to be a finalist in the Blayney Textures of One 2022 competition under the theme ‘light and shade’!

Winners announced at the official opening Platform Arts Hub Blayney on Friday 6th May!

I was lucky enough to capture this beautiful family recently.

It was my first sunrise ( rather than sunset) photoshoot and I have to say I am definitely a fan, especially for young kids!

The sky was beautiful, the scenery was beautiful and the family were super fun to hang out with!

I was lucky enough to get asked to come along with @nswfarmers under the educational program @kidstofarms_nsw today.

What better way to educate kids than to get them out onto working farms such as Biteriot orchard in Orange, NSW to learn about growing cherries and apples, and also about the processing requirements to sort and package these fruits ready for market!

The stage 3 kids from @stjosephsblayney were a great group, and they all seemed to really enjoy this excursion, and we even managed to get a visit from chanel 7 news!

It started with tinder…… and ended with a beautiful wedding in Machattie Park!

Congratulations to Mitch and Kira for a beautiful wedding on Saturday surrounded by family and friends!

We then went down to the river to where they got engaged to capture some memories of their day, and of course up on the mount with a beautiful sky and awesome views!

I first met these cute kids when I captured their daycare photos last year, so when summer contacted me to capture their whole family I was excited to be able to hang out with them again for the afternoon!

I managed to capture a few shots of the lucerne in full flower, before it was cut for hay.

Now we are just patiently waiting for it to dry out before baling it and stacking the bales in the hay shed.

It’s not everyday your photo makes the front cover of a magazine!

Growing up in Qld, I have never really understood the need for daylight savings, especially now when getting up at 6am means that it is 100% dark still.

In saying that, it is pretty nice to experience a beautiful sun rise out the window whilst eating breakfast!
