Not everyone feels like they’re glowing while pregnant. In fact, most of us don’t. Instead we don’t feel the least bit like ourselves. Many of my clients mention how insecure they currently feel in their bodies when they contact me about a maternity shoot, so I’ve written a short post on how to look like an absolute goddess at your shoot:
Read MoreIf you think about the pivotal moments in life pregnancy and the birth of your baby/babies rank very high. These are times to celebrate and commemorate with beautiful, professional photos. Your baby bump is fleeting and soon you’ll have your gorgeous little baby in your arms. Siobhan from Siobhan Wolff Photography has written a guest post about why a maternity shoot is a must for every mama.

Read MoreSome locations are just utterly magical. Red Hill is one of them. You follow a small dirt track until you come to a place where the trees part to reveal a huge rock slab, with swirls of pink and white, rimmed by orange natives. Scattered across the surface are small dark stones that don’t seem to have come from the rock, and here and there small shrubs have sprouted on the stone. It’s silent and you’re alone. Yet, you’re in the heart of Sydney.

Read MoreThe very first step to choosing your perfect photographer is deciding on what you want. Do you want posed, studio newborn photos with perfectly even light, do you want highly posed and constructed wedding photos, are you a free spirit and would like some candid photos out in nature? Do you want your baby’s newborn photos on a beach or in a forest or are you feeling overwhelmed and want your photographer to come to your home? Are you a fan of natural light or artificial light? Photographers specialise in a wide range of areas from newborns to weddings, from food to interiors, from studio to natural light. Not all photographers have experience in every field or situation and it’s the experience that really counts.
Read MoreMy suggestion is to dress your family in different neutral shades (i.e. ivory, grey, beige) and then add some coordinating colours. Try to avoid having everyone wear matching outfits. The days of the whole family wearing white shirts and jeans are long past! We want colours that generally complement each other: for instance, soft colours (light blue, grey, blush) or warm colours (brown, orange, burgundy). If you want colourful images, then you should choose a more vivid colour scheme for your outfits. If you chose a palette and stick to it your photos are bound to look cohesive.
Read More“What should I dress baby in?”. The simple answer is if you don’t already have something in mind you don’t need to worry about this. I have a client wardrobe for baby, consisting of neutral pieces that are comfortable and photograph well. On the day I will bring along several in baby’s size, as well as some accessories, blankets and props.
Read MoreThis year the weather just hasn’t been playing along. Not at all. I’ve had to reschedule the majority of my shoots, on more than one occasion i’ve arrived on location only for the heavens to open up. Amongst all the rescheduling and rearranging and raincoats I’ve discovered something magical: stormy newborn shoots. Not rainy, mind you, but moody. The heavy dark clouds and rough surf make for a backdrop unlike any other. Aurora’s shoot was truly memorable.
Read MoreI love it when couples are up for an adventure! It might involve walking barefoot along a lake shore, but the photos are work every step!
Read MoreOn the day I was meant to shoot Tadhg’s newborn photos it started raining just as we arrived on location, so there was some hasty rescheduling and on the second attempt we struck it lucky with this gorgeous day! The session was lovely and I’m pretty sure I’m now best friends with his gorgeous older sister.
Read MorePink skies are usually reserved for winter, but occasionally they appear in autumn and Freya was lucky enough to have one at her maternity session. The weather was perfect, the toddler was happy and the the mama-to-be was glowing.
