Our Saturday and Sunday looked a little different last weekend @ Steampunk Goulburn

As someone who likes avoiding unwanted attention, stopping off at Sutton Forest for petrol felt a bit odd with all the dress ups!

Blending in was definitely the right choice. And fun!

But our costumes were nothing compared to these talented legends who won or got commendations for their amazing costumes and characters!

Also perks of working with your husband is unintended BTS, having coffee together and always having a lunch buddy :)

But the BTS I have of him is more like playing ‘Where’s Wally?’ while I cull rather than impromptu BTS

So let’s play ‘Where’s Jarrad?’ together!

Hmmm…

This one at the Grand Teapot Races is easy

These two are for the seasoned pros

Comment if your OCD needs answers

Probably the best BTS shot

And on slight a technical note, the light changed sooooo much throughout the day which was both challenging and helpful to vary our shots

I packed the bounce/reflector on a whim and even though it was only used for this key interview with Miss Twisted , it was super handy to have!

Also we don’t know who this guy is
He just started filming on his phone mid shoot and then left
Hopefully he got some good BTS too

Covering the Banquet at Goulburn Brewery after the events of Day 1

The brewery is newly renovated and the sun was popping so you can bet we were frothing at the opportunity to get good footage!

Not pictured - the sunburn from day 1

And thank you to Miss Twisted for these photos. We rarely get good photos together when on the job. Now we can show our daughter evidence of us being cool parents!

Functional and fashionable

Turn your phone to see Goulburn Brewery & spot another hidden Jarrad

Day 2 of Steampunk Goulburn

Did someone ask ‘Where’s Jarrad?’

We finished the event by stamping some leather mementos to gift to our little kiddo

By this point were happy, tired, ready to have our second coffee and oh so ready to hug our cheeky girl!

I loved seeing all the creativity, passion and community presence for Steampunk in Goulburn

Also loved having random friendly chats with patrons who came from near and far (e.g. Melbourne?!), staff, stall

More from these two and their short 20 minute portrait session 🤍
Afterwards they wanted some quiet time together and as we crept away and checked our footage, the full magnificence of the gum tree next to them hit me and I couldn't help but sneak one last photo to finish the session. I love it when moments like that surprise you. Hopefully the last photo (which FYI is actually a landscape) holds more sweet private memories than my own awe of the moment.

Tim & Ravena 🎉

It's been over 2 months since these two got married. Celebrating the occasion with their loved ones and in the presence of God was a massive part of their wedding day. SO when it came to their portrait session, we made sure our portraits time was short and sweet. That meant booking in a consult well before the 1 month mark (which is usually when your vendors want to confirm your timeline) so we could get that timeline right. And when it came to the day, we had plenty of time for some great photos as well as videos!

For some couples more time to relax and connect during portraits is the priority.
For other couples more time to mingle is the priority.
Both can't always happen on the same day BUT when I help put together a timeline for you, your priorities become my priorities too.

Leaving your timeline to the last minute and doing everything 'by ear' won't work for weddings and will mean you're left with regrets.

Sorting it out earlier, listing your priorities and communicating them with me leaves room for you to breathe instead.

I know which one I'd pick 😉

All engagement rings are lovely and beautiful! 😍 It's a privilege I get to see and admire so many and hear all your amazing engagement stories. And I love seeing how many Brides-to-be know exactly what they want and all the tells they were getting on the day of proposal.
Here's to seeing more stunning rings and couples cross my camera screen to yours this coming Spring and into Summer 2027 🥂

3 things I don't typically photograph: midday harsh light, dogs & birds. They were definitely things I started photographing 5-10 years ago (before making photography a job) so the chance to switch off work mode and just photograph at Centennial Park with x was so freeing!
Did I stick to my photo walk bingo card, probably no... 😆

These two fill me with butterflies because they had butterflies the whole shoot!
Mary and Michael were looking for a Western Sydney wedding and engagement photographer and once they stumbled across my work they fell in love with the real and raw emotions I capture. The journey between discovery and booking was pretty quick now that I think about it! And they decided to add on an engagement session to their wedding package (which I highly recommend and you'll see why in these photos!).
What unfolded for their engagement session was something I wasn't ready for...
These two had a severe case of the giggles.
Almost everything had them breaking out in laughter.
At first I thought it was cute.
Then I thought they were really good at quietly sharing private jokes (almost telepathically).
The giggles happened so much I didn't know if we would get any of the 'typical' engagement photos! 😆
But then, we talked about why the giggles naturally came out, I added more structure to their prompts and poses, and more encouragement, and we leaned into the laughter.
Laughter can be a natural remedy to breaking out of your comfort zone. And for them it was happening automatically.
And honestly what unfolded in this engagement session was more beautiful than any Pinterest board, because we let laughter naturally showcase the playful and loving side of their relationship.
If you're like these two giggle mates or are holding back from an engagement photoshoot because you don't think you'll fit perfectly into the typical engagement niches (there's so many I could make a research paper on it), then stuff the niches! Be you!
Because being real, being yourselves is better than pretending to be someone your note.
Book a consult in my bio to chat about how my engagement sessions can suit you, rather than how you can fit into a 'typical' engagement stereotype. Because you deserve to have high quality engagement photography reflects who you are.

Hey Siri, play 'Come Away with Me' by Norah Jones...
Sometimes the answer to switching off your anxieties during a photoshoot is to play music!
Every engagement session I ask couples if music will help them switch the mood and make them feel more comfortable. It's extra handy that I have a Spotify subscription and good cellular service when out on the farm too 😉
For Charlie and Andre , finding the right music for them helped us transition the mood away from still poses and closer towards prompts and actions more natural to them and their relationship. And towards the end of the session they had completely switched off the parts of their brain that said 'I need to look good for the camera!' and they relaxed in the moment and epic sunset instead.
If you're looking for more than just 'natural' engagement photos and actually want to 'feel' comfortable too, DM me and let's have a chat about your engagement session.
Cause who really wants just nice photos? You actually want good memories too.

Tiff and Ollie had a vision for night time portraits with flash and I was instantly on board. I'll be honest, I trusted in their vision so much that I took it on board without having done a shot like this before. I loved their vision. I loved their chemistry. I knew the pitch black night and ambient fairy lights would work a treat. But right up until we started photographing, I had imposter syndrome. Part of me knew I'd do everything to make the vision come to life, but part of me thought it'd be better if someone else was the photographer.
It's so hard to battle imposter syndrome when delivering this photography service to you. Over the years it's become a whetstone that forces me to sharpen my skills, my systems and my services.
And it's only today, as I send a bunch of photos from Tiff and Ollie's wedding to the printer, that I realise these night portraits were fire! And I can't wait to see them printed!
