Natalie & Michael's Wedding

Yesterday was such a beautiful day for a Wedding, Natalie and Michael were lucky enough to get married on such a gorgeous spring day. The ceremony was at Dural Gardens which is a beautiful place to have a Wedding as the gardens are just stunning.

Hellen & Mark's Wedding

Hellen & Mark got married in Townsville in August, I have been a bit naughty for not posting their photos sooner, but at the time I had some serious computer dramas. The location of their wedding was just beautiful, the backdrop for the ceremony was the gorgeous Magnetic Island.

Spring Flowers

These photos were taken in the paddock next to Benjamin's Nanna's house, I know these Dandylions are weeds but they look so amazing in these photos. There were thousands of them so I couldn't resist getting some shots before the lawnmower came out.

Ruby Rose

These photos are of beautiful newborn Ruby Rose, I photographed her Mummy, Brother & Sister 2 days before she was born - see my first blog for the photos. Ruby is such a little cutie pie, she hardly made a sound during the shoot even when her very excited brother and sister kept shouting while bouncing on the bed that she was laying on! What a good baby. Welcome to the world little Ruby Rose!

Emma, Rebecca, Lochie & Sian

These photos are of Emma, Lochie, Rebecca & Sian. They were taken yesterday at their Nanna & Poppie's house. The garden was looking beautiful and was chosen as the location for the shoot because of sentimental reasons. I think these photos capture the children's personalities beautifully.

Another Pregnant Belly

These photos are of fellow actor Mary Catherine and her hubby Nathan, we went to Balmoral Beach for these shots. Their baby is due in 4 weeks time and is already scheduled in for his/hers first photo shoot. I can't wait to meet the little one!

I had the pleasure of spending time with Peta & Matthew and their 4 gorgeous children this morning. The photos were taken on their family property and it was difficult to get a bad shot of this very photogenic family. I think they will treasure these photos for many years to come.

Bourke Family

Well it has been another busy week of taking photos. Here are a few photos taken of Luke for his mother Simone at Fagan Park at Galston, it has to be my favourite place to take candid portraits. Isn't he a cutie!

My First Blog

Welcome to my very first Blog.....ever! I have no experience at this so it may take a while for me to navigate. Let me introduce myself, my name is Cathy Crawley and I live and work in Sydney Australia. I am an actor and a photographer. I guess I have always been a creative person, I couldn't work in an office it would drive me mad. Instead I prefer every artistic outlet such as music, painting, decorating, film making, photography and acting.

My business Beautiful Moments Photography is a new business venture, one that I am very excited about. My passion for photography started at the age of 15 when I got a Pentax K100 from my parents for Christmas. I wanted to be a photographer in the Navy but as they didn't' take direct entry photographers I applied to join the RAAF. I was waiting to go to recruit school when I found out I was having a baby....that was the end of that. But photography still was my passion. I don't know why I took so long to make it my career, I guess acting came first for so long and I didn't want to give it up. Then came my 3rd child and an illness that made me re-evaluate my life. I now realise that I can have it all, I can act, be a mother, a wife and have a photography business. Life is great.

This is my friend Merri and her son Sam, Merri's baby is due next week. She was so excited to see these photos of her children.

I love this photo of these children, the little girl in the middle is the star in this shot.
