My last wedding to finish up the 2023 season and it was a cracker, congratulations Annie and Kyrle! An intimate wedding complete with a first 'moment', ring warming ceremony and a sensational summer sunset. Vendors: Palmvale Dairy Wedding Venue, Cutting Edge Boutique, Alternative Ceremonies/ Cath Hogarth, Creative Cater, Signature Bridal & Formal.

Have you just found out your formal date? Yep, I've been inundated! Unfortunately I only book a small amount of sessions per date in order to provide the standard of service I strive to achieve for my clients. BUT - if you missed out, I do have the option of booking a pre-graduation session. Why is it such a great idea? Avoid the crowds of formal day (it's chaotic, trust me) Coordinate your hair/makeup trial Have a practice run in your outfit (do I hear sore feet?) Ease the strict timeline of the afternoon Get your photos taken wherever and whenever you like! Contact me if you'd like more details. This whole session was a dream to capture for gorgeous Taya (and we got the whole CBD to ourselves too), how good do those colours and styling look on her? 😍

Since 2017 (yes, really!) I've been capturing all of life's milestones for Shenee & Josh - and these might just be some of my favourite photos yet. Thanks for having me capture your moments Humphrey family -  I'm so grateful that I get to do this for work! P.S. Wondering how to get smiles out of your little ones like Addison & Thomas? Bring along drinks, snacks, favourite toys or music if needed. Choose a location they'll enjoy (even if you end up a bit sandy or dirty). Be yourselves - play and talk how you would at home. Know that it's totally fine even if things don't go exactly to plan.

It may have taken 4,809 days but I'd say the Donohoe wedding was well worth the wait! What an honour to capture Kara & Ben's (& Begbie's) special day, I don't think I've ever come home with so many photos from a wedding... safe to say there's many more in their gallery that I didn't have room to share here! Vendors: Coco&Bleu, Henderson Park Farm Retreat, Gladstone Bridal Boutique, Bloom Makeup Artistry, Adorn hair, Stewarts Rockhampton, Cloud Nine Celebrancy Services, Shannon Hawkes Artisan Florals, Evolution Catering, Denvah Music.

How can you make sure you're happy with your wedding photos? Have an engagement session! There are SO many reasons why this is a 'must', and if the thought of having engagement photos makes your cringe... guess what, you're exactly who I'm talking to! Let's get to know each other while celebrating your engagement! A practice runs mean perfect poses and getting comfortable in front of the camera. Book your HMU trials and fine-tune your beauty routine Bring your fur babies or try something adventurous and fun! Here's a peek at Jess & Ray's engagement session, I think we laughed our way through the entire afternoon at The Salty Lime Co! I can't wait for their wedding later this year.

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! Vendors: Beaches Restaurant Rosslyn Bay, Susie Cervai - Celebrant By The Sea, Shannon Hawkes Artisan Florals, Sprinkle Me, Jayde Miranda Makeup, Yippy’s, Gladstone Bridal Boutique.

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
