Not going to lie - I was a little nervous in the lead up to this session between the showers of rain, botanical gardens closing at 6:00pm and my chaotic schedule. 🫣 But Shannon & Aaron came with the most beautiful concept that we put together, just in time for the rain to clear and had the Rockhampton Botanical Gardens almost to ourselves! I'm so excited for you both and I know you'll make an amazing family. 😍

When you ask if you can bring your dogs to your photos... the only acceptable answer is 'YES!'. Tess & Tristen travelled 5 hours with their two gorgeous Golden Retrievers for their engagement session (braving the wind too), and I'm so glad they made the trip. Poppy & Dixie may have stolen the limelight a little, but I don't think anyone will be mad about it. I can't wait to capture Tess & Tristen's wedding in a few months' time!

My first shoot back for 2024, and it was a dream! I'm so excited that Liz & Jesse had me along to capture this special time in their lives, and I can't wait to meet their little one in a few months' time.

It's live! I'm so excited to have collaborated with Drive Queensland for the cover of their 2024 drive guide. Well, this is a strange turn of events for someone who's usually behind the camera... but I'm honoured to have been part of such an exciting project! Taken at the Dulhunty River on the Old Telegraph Track, Cape York - you won't find me much happier than I was in this image. The 90 was stacked with all of my most important possessions (cue the Tetris) as I spent a month exploring the northernmost point of Australia by 4WD and, of course, documenting the adventure. If you're dreaming of your next road trip too, make sure to have a read of everything Queensland has to offer. The drive guide is a fantastic resource filled with destinations, maps, trip planning tips and even a 2024 events calendar. With a keen eye, you might spot the little introduction I wrote for the Fraser Coast region as well. The magazine will be available at expos and events across Australia this year, so keep an eye out for a printed copy soon! Or if you can't wait to find it print, view it online now.

Alana & Ty's beachside wedding celebration at Beaches Rosslyn Bay Resort had it all, and I'm so stoked I got to capture it! Perfect weather Confetti ceremony exit A beautiful group of friends & family supporting them Fluffy pink slippers And a reception dance floor that was an absolute hit!

Here's the highlights from Olivia & Patrick's graduation session - both so perfectly styled, and that cobalt blue was a refreshing pop of colour along the Rockhampton riverbank and alleyways, don't you agree?

"Thanks so much for making my daughters formal one she won't forget your photos are amazing. My daughter doesn't like getting her photo taken but you made her feel at ease. The location was breathtaking thanks The Salty Lime Co, her car from Lawrence's topped off a great day. Maddy you are such an amazing photographer and would highly recommend you to anyone." - Liz

Many of you will recognise this beautiful lady, and gosh did we have fun at her photoshoot! Deb from Cloud Nine Celebrancy Services has crossed paths with me at weddings for about a decade now, and I was honoured to capture these images for her.
