Another session with Belinda Gosbee

You might remember that last year I did some photos for the stunning actress Belinda Gosbee. Well, today we did it again, but this time Belinda was back to her blonde hair. Not one to conform, {Belinda likes to shake things up a bit which is probably why I like her so much} she wanted some edgy photos for her website. We did some basic headshots and then had a bit of a play around in downtown Sydney. At the end of the session along came this amazing storm cloud which I couldn't resist capturing, thankfully we got back to my car in the nick of time otherwise we would have been caught out in a very nasty hail and thunder storm which hit seconds after getting back to the carpark!

Here are a few shots so far.

For these photos I was actually lying down in the middle of the road in the hub of Sydney, talk about going to any lengths to get a good shot!

Baby Michael

Today's photo session was of little Michael and was a gift to his parents from his Aunty and Uncle. I always get so clucky when I am around little babies like these! Their innocence, serenity and purity always shines through in photos. I am also reminded of how fast they grow up, almost in the blink of an eye, so getting photos like these stop time and preserve his innocence.

Mum and Dad, here is your sneak peak. Enjoy!

Jennifer & Shane's Valentines Day

Valentines Day is a day for lovers, so how beautiful to be a Bride and Groom on this special day. Today as I photographed Jennifer & Shane we were welcomed by so many strangers in the streets yelling out "Happy Valentine's Day" and "Congratulations". It's days like these that I am glad I am in this business. How gorgeous are these two?!!!

We went to Watson's Bay in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, and Hyde Park to get these beautiful photos.

The flowers were created by Melanie I loved them!

Bon voyage Mark and Nicolle!

I met Mark on a blind date for B Magazine several years ago, we went to the Opera House for dinner and became firm friends. When Mark started an Actors group called Actors Australia 6 years ago I joined up the same day. Mark has grown AA (nothing to do with drunks) into a wonderful meeting place for Australian Actors, he has been an inspiration to so many people over the years. Our little group now has over 400 members and has sparked many friendships and helped many careers along the way.

A few weeks ago Mark announced that he and Nicolle were packing up, selling everything and going on a very long world trip on a sailing boat. Upon hearing the news I first felt quite sad that Mark and Nicolle were leaving, but after a while I began to realise just how brave and exciting their decision was. Truly, who wouldn't want to leave the rat race behind and sail into Tahiti or the South of France and say "lets stay here for a month or two"?

As my going away gift to Mark and Nicolle I wanted to do a photo shoot so they would have some photos to put on their new "World Tour" website. Today we went to Sydney Harbour for some shots. Mark's father worked on the Opera House as a manager so he really wanted some photos with "her" in the background - it was a shame that it was a grey old day and she wasn't in all her beauty, but as you'll see Mark and Nic made the most of it!


So we started the shoot of with some cute shots.......

We then finished the shoot at the Opera House which has such special meaning for Mark. I was so honoured to be a part of Mark and Nicolle's special moment and I of course wish them happy sailing and a very happy life together. Love you guys!
