Perth field maternity session

August 20, 2021

Suns out, bumps out!! Thats the saying right?? Just kidding, but seriously- I was so excited when Suzi agreed to bare all and get her baby bump out into the sun for me to photograph. I am just so in awe of what our bodies can create and I LOVE to capture it. Theres something so inspiring and magical about a baby bump, flaws and all is what makes it so beautiful! Expecting mums I’m begging you, bare it all and let me photograph your bumps, you wont regret it, capturing your pregnancy is such a special way to remember this precious (and sometimes super hard am I right?) stage of life.

Boy was I glad to see sun, this was the only bright sunny day in what was our wettest July ever in Perth, so this usual sun kissed field was greener than ever which made photographing this family candidly so much more fun in such a natural fun setting. Suzi had an outfit change which I love, Suzi wore a beautiful maternity dress from Nothing Fits but matching with her daughter and then wore this beautiful Coven and co gown shown below, this has now become the first piece in our client wardrobe- which I am just so excited to launch along with our home studio early next year.

Newborn photography session tips

July 22, 2021

Very soon I will be launching our very own in-home studio, I’m busting to create a beautiful homely space you can bring your newborns too but until then I photograph in my beautiful clients homes across Perth using whatever corners with natural light we can find. Theres a few things you can do to help your newborn photography session run smoothly.

Feed right before your session and feed, change or comfort whenever you need to during the session. Trust me, if your Bub is hungry you’ll hear about it, and settling a very upset baby is a lot harder than taking 10 mins to feed and then getting right back into shooting. This is why I allow an hour and a half, sometimes more for these sessions.

Make sure you have a warm room. Babies start to fuss when they get cold so make sure you’ve got that heater set to a nice temperature.

Ill give you plenty of gentle direction so dont worry about that part, just come and bring yourself and your good vibes. If im not saying anything its because youre nailing it, we want natural and organic images but the process of getting there requires some gentle direction so we get the pretties images with the best angles and light. Have fun and enjoy this time with your newborn. This is such a beautiful moment, your little Bub will never be this little or be in this stage again so try not to stress if they fuss or cry, thats okay. All we need is little moments to capture. If you are authentic and having fun we will get images that reflect that.

Wear neutrals. This is not a hard and fast rule but theres nothing worse than looking fab and then realising the outfit you chose clashes with your partners. Choose neutral colours and outfits that don’t have any crazy patterns and you cant go wrong.

Yellagonga national park family session

July 15, 2021

I loved photographing this family as three becomes four, we had one day of perfect sun in-between days of rain, unusual for little Perth, winter here is often full of sunny days.

Family sessions are so much fun but can feel stressful at times without the right preparation and mindset, heres some tips to make sure you have the best time during your family session!

Just go with it- try to stop worrying and enjoy the moment with your family, your two year old might be running around rioting but thats okay! The most important thing to make beautiful photos, is to forget that we’re there to take photos, and just simply be in love and have fun with your family. I can’t make this happen for you. This is a result of you simply being happy with each other and excited for what’s coming.

Bribes go a long way! Look normally I might not advocate for bribing your children normally but for your family session it works a treat!! Maccas or ice cream on the way home works a treat to get a two or three year old to cooperate through a photography session when they would rather be running wild.

If the weather is looking average, reschedule! You only get to capture this moment in time and your children this age once. This lovely family below rescheduled their session twice due to rain and im so glad we didnt try to risk it because the day we were finally able to shoot ended up being the most perfect day in-between many days of rain.

Follow these tips and youre bound to have the best time during your family photography session!

After the session Cindy she shared “Oh my gosh thank you so so much for capturing us so effortlessly Amelia, especially with our crazy toddler in the mix. These photos are SOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!! We love them so much!!! Cannot wait to show my fam and friends and have these printed ASAP!”

O+C | Matilda bay Restaurant Wedding

June 11, 2021

Matilda Bay, Perth WA

What a beautiful wedding day to be apart of!! Olivia and Chad’s first wedding was cancelled due to covid, the said their vowels in an intimate ceremony with just a few of their dearest during lockdown and saved the party for later on in the year. Their ceremony was held on the water at Matilda bay, their reception was inside the beautiful clear marquee at Matilda bay restaurant along Perths swan river. Olivia shared that she chose her dress based on the veil from Tuscany bridal. Their florals were all white by the amazing Violet lane tying perfectly with the beautiful river and Perth city in the background.

Olivia shared- “Amelia, Wow wow wow wow!!!! Thank you SOOOOO much for our absolutely amazing wedding photos. You captured the day so perfectly and we are so grateful that we now have these beautiful photos to re live our special day by. I can’t explain how much we love them!!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You are so talented and I am SOOO happy with how each one turned out. We have had many of our close friends who have unfortunately had bad experiences with their wedding photographers in the last two years so we really feel blessed to have had someone so trustworthy and kind as you. Thank you again.”
