That Redhead Photographer

I suck at making reels because I hate doing them but you get the idea I hope 😂😂

I'm thinking, wife vibes but also, I'm a badass and we are having cake for dinner and you for dessert? 🥵 obviously these are pinterest photos, just showing you my vision for what I'd love to put my own spin on in this next round of bo***ir. I just LOVE this kitchen.

Please comment and book if you'd be interested!

Let me show you who you really are, and have a heap of laughs along the way! 🖤

Come with me for an hour of YOU. My bo***ir marathons are designed so that you aren't rushed, have privacy, don't have to have some weirdo in your home (me) and have a backdrop that is versatile for your final gallery of "holy cr@p, that's how people see me!?" (in the best way!)You can wear as many....

I spent a couple of hours designing these bad boys, and look, idk if I'll ever change them again because they are just SO beautiful 😍 patted myself on the back plenty of times, I really outdid myself this year with the vouchers!

These are gold foiled, forest green vouchers on a beautiful soft matte card. They come in a black envelope and gold ribbon for finishing touches. Photos will never do them justice!

Ready for all those Christmas Gift Voucher buyers, if you don't get compliments on how beautiful it is, I promise to hide a giraffe in the background of the gallery as payback to the person you gifted it to 🖤🦒😂

One thing you might notice about me when I photograph you and your family is that I'm not really someone who tells your kids what to do too much during a session. I test the waters at times, after I've won them over. But otherwise, I am the cool Aunty who let's them do what they want, talk how they want, and go where they want. You wanna be barefoot? Sorry mum, shoes are off gf. I know personally that if anybody else told my daughter what to do, especially a stranger, there's no way she's cooperating let alone feeling comfortable for anyone to get a decent photo 😅 I'm much more about whispering to you or your husband to give directions where the kids can't hear it. I'll ask "will the kids cuddle each other?" Or "does he like to go on your shoulders?" And asking those questions prompts you into actions.

Don't get me wrong I will boss you, your husband and your mother around like I've known you my whole life. But your kids? That's your job, I'm just the ideas woman on the sidelines 😎

Something I always endeavour to achieve in your galleries is capturing personality. You will get photos like this one below, that you may think you look TERRIBLE. But, hear me out 😆

When I look at this photo, I know my kids definitely said something that I was just thinking "where tf did you come up with that?!" And it's something that makes me laugh!! Not only that, but Harvey looks like a model 🥰

Your galleries will typically have the perfect mix of
- Wall worthy portraits
- Artistic and candid
- Emotional, nice moments you missed but I saw
- Hilarious, personality, fun out-takes and the not so "perfect"

That's a Zara Sharkey promise 😆

I want to know genuinely, would you prefer I kept these sorts of images out of your professional gallery? Or are they something you appreciate about my work? Please let me know!

EXTENDED FAMILY SESSIONS 2026
Last year, Christmas was FULL of extended family sessions. And this year I expect no different 😆

If you are considering updating again this year, I have good news for return clients of extended family sessions; You'll pay the exact same price as last year, no price increase! You'll only pay for extra people 🥰 if you are a past client booking your first extended family session with me this year, you'll get $100 off the total of the new pricing 🖤

Because looking after people who appreciate me and my work is a priority for me 🙏🏻

Book in ASAP, booking fee of $150 required, but weekends will fill QUICKLY in September, October & November so get in first before you miss out or have to do a weekday and panic about getting the photos back in time for Christmas 😆

Sometimes, you have to go to your sister in law's work and cuddle some dingoes 🥰

"Whimsy" has become a cute little trend these past months, and I want to assure you, I have been "whimsy" before it was a social media trend. I was brewing soup in my mud kitchen, saving bees from the pool, barefoot most of my childhood, outdoors rain or shine, rescuing animals, cuddling them, having snail races, you name it! For as long as I can remember i have been a little nature lover. I'm glad loving nature is finally "in" but please know I'm never following trends, it's already deeply seated inside of me and I hate social media, I'd hate for anyone to think I care about trends 😭😂

BACK FROM HOLIDAY!
I had the absolute best time visiting my family after 1.5 years away. I haven't had a proper break from work for that entire time besides a couple days here and there (or I was sick, yay - doesn't count lol).

As an artist it's really easy to burn yourself out, even moreso when you are the "everything" for the home. It's a lot of weight, and I'm constantly worrying if I have enough money, spend enough time with the kids, are my clients happy, responding at 11pm enquiries on a Tuesday etc. So it was definitely a nice refresh.

My friends thought I was in trouble because I hadn't been online for 10 hours, but I was just enjoying not being a slave to social media, sorry friends 😆

Anyway, I am spending today responding to messages, if you're waiting to hear from me it will be today you get a response 🖤

Not every picture in your gallery is going to be frame-worthy. But, if your kid is making a funny face, something shows their personality, there's a moment where maybe you look like sh*t but your kid looks cute? Best believe it's included in your gallery. You want the smiling photos of course. But when you look back on these galleries, these are the photos you'll treasure most. As a mum of an 11 year old, I can assure you I'm right and just trust me 🥲😂

If these don't convince you to book a winter session I don't know what will 😍

Kady and I have been social media penpals for almost as long as I've lived here now, but only met for the first time on Monday! And what a way to spend our first couple of hours together 👌🏻

Happy 35th Birthday to this firecracker of a woman 🧨🖤

P.s. the cows are paid actors (paid in candle-less and flame-less cupcakes)
