There’s something so special about capturing multiple milestones for the same people over the years, and Jess & Jordan’s maternity session at the Rockhampton Botanical Gardens is exactly that. I had the joy of capturing their wedding back in October 2022, and now these high school sweethearts are preparing to welcome their first baby. We revisited the cacti garden — the very same spot where I photographed some of their wedding portraits — and I even recreated one of those images, making it feel like a beautiful full-circle moment. Jess looked radiant in her burnt orange dress, which paired perfectly with the flowering gardens. Everything just ✨worked✨. I’m so excited to photograph their first family portraits in the coming weeks, continuing their story from “I do” to parenthood. If you'd like your life story documented, please contact me .

The outback sure turned it on for Sophie & Charlie’s Longreach wedding! It was an absolute honour to travel west for the Cleary celebration, especially after photographing Sophie’s family at so many special occasions over the years. This day sets a high bar for classic, elegant styling: timeless black and white tones paired with fresh greenery, setting the perfect backdrop for a love-filled celebration with guests that had travelled from near and far. Despite recent floods, winds and the flies testing our patience, it was as if on cue, the outback rewarded us with the most breathtaking sunset. After receiving their photos, Sophie shared: “These are soooo beautiful! Thank you so much — we have thoroughly enjoyed looking back through these! So many memories! Loved reliving such a great day!” Rural weddings hold a unique kind of magic, and it’s always such a privilege to capture love stories in the heart of outback Queensland. Wherever you're getting married, I'd love to capture your day - please contact me  to chat about your plans!

Recently I stepped in for the lovely Photography by Jess Edwards  to capture Brooke & Joe's special day and put together a sneak peek when she couldn't make it. With their little boy and a small group of loved ones as witnesses, it was a privilege to capture this occasion for the Grove's - and what a choice for a location.

The countdown is on for Erica & Marshall! After Cyclone Alfred ruined our original plans, I was sooo happy to see a soft, winter sunset and calm waters for attempt #2 at their engagement session. I can't wait to capture their Emerald, Central Highlands wedding in a few short weeks.

This session is yet another reminder that photos are a gift that never goes out of style. Theresa’s children gifted her a photography certificate, which she used to celebrate her wedding anniversary and book a beautiful extended family session – complete with all the grandchildren (and a special announcement!). We held the session at their property just outside Rockhampton, which made it even more special. Not only was the setting gorgeous, but it held sentimental value as their family home. If you're thinking about capturing your extended family, I’d love to help. These sessions are especially popular in the lead-up to Christmas, so be sure to get in touch early - contact me to book a session.

How has it already been a year since the Olive wedding ?! It was such a joy to catch up with Kate and Alex again – this time, in celebration of their first wedding anniversary. There’s something special about seeing couples again after their wedding day - and this time they brought along their two dogs, Rosie and Izabella. Including pets in sessions is always encouraged, and I can confidently say these two are just as photogenic as their humans. If you’re approaching your anniversary or would love updated portraits with your partner (and pets!), I’d love to hear from you. Please contact me  for more information! Revenge Hair & Body .

The rain poured all week, the creeks flooded the day beforehand... but you wouldn't know it looking at these photos of Lauren & Josh! Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Perry, what a spectacular day seeing your loved ones celebrate you both. P.S . I've got very limited spaces remaining for 2026 weddings, please contact me to book your photography!

One of my favourite times of year is here – school formal season! I always love these sessions as a celebration for seniors as they head to formal, getting ready to embark on their next big life journey. Ava & Mitch's families each booked a graduation session which we combined into one extended photoshoot - and I have to say, I love this approach. It gave us extra time to explore different locations, get creative, and stay relaxed even with the usual formal day hustle and inevitable delays. If you’d like to capture this special milestone, I’d love to hear from you. Please contact me to book your school formal portrait session! Vendors: Becca Smith Makeup Artist , Dulcét Hairdressing .

Chloe sure made my job easy for her recent school formal session, held in the Rockhampton CBD! Vendors shown: Makeup by Jacinta , With JESSIE , A Formal Affair , I Sew - Rockhampton . If you'd like to capture your graduation, please contact me for more information.

Tiff reached out to see if I could stop by to take some family photos for her on my way home from a Longreach wedding, and of course I said yes. It was so lovely to see her, Cody and their family again after capturing their own wedding in 2023! Now they have three beautiful babies and are living at a beautiful property near Barcaldine, Western Queensland. If you'd like to capture your family - whethere you're based in Central Queensland or further afield, please contact me to see where I'll be headed!

There’s something so special about celebrating family with photos, and the Mills family did just that. Their Mother’s Day gift to Jayne was a sunset beach session with all her grandchildren — a beautiful way to capture the love and joy that make family moments unforgettable. I absolutely love this idea. The kids played, splashed in the waves and climbed 🫣 — all the things that make a photoshoot full of fun and genuine smiles. We were lucky to have such a gorgeous afternoon, especially after a storm rolled through earlier in the day! Extended family photos are one of my favourite ways to bring generations together in front of the camera. If you’ve got everyone gathering during the Christmas school holidays, it’s the perfect time to book a session and create memories you’ll treasure for years to come. Please contact me  for more information!

Sophie & Dante’s wedding in Theodore was a day filled with love, laughter, and so many meaningful details. Living away, they entrusted Sophie’s Mum to choose the perfect ceremony spot at the Markey’s — without even seeing it themselves — and what a breathtaking location it turned out to be for their Central Queensland wedding! Their celebration was woven with personal touches: rings handcrafted by a talented family jeweller, thoughtful DIY details made with the help of loved ones, and a late night bonfire that kept the joy alive well into the evening. Dante’s custom-made suit, with its intricate details paired perfectly with Sophie’s effortlessly elegant gown and her signature Converse (with a bridal twist, of course). Every element reflected their personalities, making their Theodore wedding day both heartfelt and unforgettable. For couples planning a relaxed and meaningful country wedding in Central Queensland, this day is proof — trust your people, and magic happens.
