Down South, WA โ€” salty air and almost perfect conditions ๐Ÿ‘Œ

We ducked away for a few days and explored so many spots along the coastline โ€” some well-known, some that only the locals would recognise ๐Ÿ˜

It felt so good to get the drone up in glassy conditions like this (rare and magical), and I got to use my big zoom againโ€ฆ every single time I use that lens Iโ€™m blown away by what it can do. The compression, the detail, the way it pulls everything together โ€” obsessed ๐Ÿ˜

We chased light, quiet beaches, winding tracks, and those little hidden corners that make Down South feel so special.

Alright, Iโ€™m curiousโ€ฆ can you name any of the places we explored from these shots? ๐Ÿ‘€๐ŸŒŠ
locals โ€” this is your time to shine!!

Liquid light ๐ŸŒ…

Some evenings the ocean doesnโ€™t roarโ€ฆ it just melts.

This was one of those soft, glassy sunsets where everything felt slow and quiet. I was happily floating just watching the sky turn into layers of peach and blue, trying to capture that feeling of being completely surrounded by light.

No big waves. No drama. Just the gentle rise and fall of water and that golden glow reflecting off every ripple.

Itโ€™s moments like this that make me forget about cold water, shark sightings, and sandy camera gear ๐Ÿ˜‚

Do you prefer calm ocean sunsetsโ€ฆ or wild, crashing waves? ๐Ÿ’™

Perth โ€” sunset, cold water, and one absolute legend of a model ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒŠ

This shoot with .larpent was honestly one of the most fun โ€” and freezing โ€” shoots Iโ€™ve done.

Brooke had been training really hard and wanted to capture how her physique had transformed through all the hard work and dedication leading up to a competition. She was such a sport โ€” diving straight into the water, trying every idea I threw her way, and laughing through the cold the whole time.

It ended up being one of those sessions that reminds you exactly why you love what you do. Challenging, creative and full of energy.

Iโ€™d love to do more in-water portrait shoots like this โ€” itโ€™s such a unique way to capture strength and personality ๐Ÿ’™

Huge thanks to Brooke for trusting me (and the chilly ocean) to bring this vision to life.

Y C O'Connor beach โ€” a salty reset ๐ŸŒŠโ˜€๏ธ ๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Iโ€™d been full of cold all week and decided a dose of salty air, sand between my toes, and a quick dip might fix everything. Spoiler alert: it didnโ€™t. ๐Ÿ˜‚
๐Ÿคง

But it was the first time since my hand and wrist surgery that I picked up the camera again โ€” and even though my wrist gave me a gentle reminder that itโ€™s still healing, it felt so bloody good to be back behind the lens.

My lovely husband and our German Shepherd, Poppy, were my very patient models for the afternoon (Poppy nailed it, obviously ๐Ÿพ). I shot with my 70โ€“200mm โ€” my big birther of a lens โ€” which always delivers the most buttery backgrounds for portraits.

Sitting on the sand, camera in hand, watching the light shift ๐Ÿค— thatโ€™s when it hit me how much Iโ€™d missed this. It's been a long drawn out recovery but I'm definitely on the mend now โค๏ธ

Iโ€™m already planning the locations for a few shoots for an upcoming trip down to Denmark and Margaret River, and I canโ€™t wait to explore some new coastline again.

Whatโ€™s your go-to beach when you just need to hit reset? ๐Ÿ’™

Port Beach, WA ๐ŸŒ…

This was taken the night before a shark sighting made national news โ€” and yep, I was bobbing around right where it happened.

The ocean looked like liquid gold, calm and endless, and I remember thinking, โ€œI could stay here forever.โ€

Then I saw the headline the next morningโ€ฆ and suddenly forever felt a little too long ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆˆ

Iโ€™ll get back in soon (maybe at a slightly safer beach).

Be honest โ€” should I just get over it? ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿฆˆ
