If you ever need styling inspiration for a photoshoot, this is your girl. As the lady in a family of boys, Cat proves that men's clothes don't need to be boring and mixed bright colours look amazing in the right setting. We made this session a combination of family portraits as well as celebratory photos for Cat & Chris' ten year wedding anniversary (I know, could've fooled me too!). With balloons, books, donuts, custom calligraphy, more balloons and a holi powder fight there was a whole lot of fun to be had.

Taking photos for a fellow wedding industry professional is always an honour, so it has been a huge compliment to capture Lauren (owner of St Aubins Village) and her growing family - from maternity images last year to family portraits now that little Amelia is already six months old. When I saw a photo of the outfits she had in mind for this session, I knew those rich burgundy tones would look perfect in the Byfield pine plantations - and didn't it work out beautifully with that golden afternoon light?
