An Inspiring Family | Sunshine Coast Lifestyle Photographer

This is the Cross family, I have know Naomi since we were kids and have watched her grow up into a beautiful woman. When she became a mummy for the first time it was obvious it was what she was born to do! And now she is a mummy twice over. Two gorgeous little boys who look so much like their daddy.
I admire Naomi mostly though, for her strength and determination. Over the past few months, her husband has been away training with the army. Naomi was at home and gave birth to their second son while Anthony was in another state. I haven't heard her complain about that once, she is so strong and courageous! She is doing so well with the two boys, I don't think I would be able to do half as well as she is doing given the circumstances.
So to you Naomi, I hope your hubby comes home again soon. And I really admire you for all that you are doing and the courage with which you are doing it. You are a truly great mother and wife. :D

Rainy Days | Sunshine Coast Lifestyle Photographer

So we have been having some very grey days the last few weeks. As much as I love the rain I am starting to miss the warmth of the sun on my shoulders and the crisp ocean breeze on my wet face. I long for the hot Summer days and time spent at the beach and by the pool on the weekends with my family and friends.



The rain on the concrete by the pool oustide my back door. I love the little ripples each drop of rain makes in the puddles. I just don't want to creep any further out and get all wet.
Hope the weather clears up soon.

Family Life | Sunshine Coast Portrait Photographer

This is my beautiful daughter, Jasmin. She loves the pool. She swims almost every day in summer. And even asks to swim on the coldest days in winter. It is hard to say no to her, mainly because she asks over and over again. But also those puppy dog eyes of hers. They say the best things in life are free, well she costs A LOT of money, but I get the gist of what they were saying when they made that up. She is the best thing that ever happened to me! And I thank God every day for blessing me with her beauty, her kind heart and her love. I love you Jasmin

Kelsee | Sunshine Coast Lifestyle Photographer

A recent session with a very beautiful young woman. Kelsee is bound to end up a model one day, she has this incredible ability to pose naturally and look totally hot doing so! I'm kinda jealous actually.

Dutch Girl Meets Aussie Boy | Sunshine Coast Wedding Photographer

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of spending a whole day with Matt and Hester Walter. Their wedding was beautiful in every sense. I cried more than once (shh don't tell anyone I'm a big softie). We had hours of time between the ceremony and reception and got some awesome shots at some wicked locations! One thing I miss about Toowoomba is all the amazing photo locations, there are not as many as close by here on the Sunshine Coast, you have to drive a bit further.
We had SO much fun, thank you Matt and Hes for a wonderful day! The most relaxed, easy going and in love bride and groom I have shot so far! xx Love you guys!
One day I hope to be as IN LOVE as you two are with eachother. It is truly a beautiful thing to witness.
