About lunch time Sunday I got a last minute message from Tegan asking if I was available that afternoon when her pregnancy photo session plans fell through, and luckily I could step in to help! You may recognise this gorgeous face from You Had Me At I Do- Ceremonies from the Heart with her partner Mick - and despite them not loving photos I think these sneak peeks prove otherwise! Enjoy. 😍

Jen & Colby booked some celebratory photos for their upcoming 10 year anniversary, coming all the way from Alpha to Rockhampton for their session!

Cue the smoke bombs and earthy tones at an under-renovation estate overlooking the ocean and hills of Yeppoon, then add in a beautiful couple due to meet their little boy any day now - what more could a photographer wish for?!

Last year Ange bought Lee a gift certificate for a session with me, and by the time we got around to their session they had just come back from a trip to Disneyland USA... where they got engaged! To celebrate we took a walk through the CBD alleyways for their photos, making the most of the urban textures and even including Ange's black VW Beetle 'Bonnie' for a few images. As the the first same sex couple I've had the opportunity to photograph, I'm super excited to share Ange and Lee's images - enjoy! #loveislove I've included a few words from from Ange below: 'We recently had our engagement shoot with Madelyn Holmes Photographics and were absolutely blown away! Being an LGBT couple we weren’t sure what to expect but Maddy made us feel at ease straight away and we knew we had nothing to worry about! She was super fun to work with, guided us when we didn’t know how to pose and was open to my many suggestions! Lol! She didn’t make us feel rushed and went over and above to make sure we were happy and got the right shot every time which we really appreciated! We 100% recommend you use Maddy - you won’t be disappointed! And we can’t wait for her to do our upcoming wedding.'
