Monstar summer shoot

29 October, 2008 – 3:00 pm

Hello Everyone,

Here’s a recent shoot I did for Monstar Kids summer range.

Monstar Kids has been going from strength to strength the last 2 years. They specialise in clothing for 2-8 year olds and the label is the brainchild of the uber talented Fiona Roy.

We had an absolute ball doing the shoot down on the Point Lonsdale foreshore and given it was the summer range, grateful we got some summer weather.

I don’t know where that quote ‘don’t work with children or animals’ comes from, I absolutely love photographing them both! Don’t try to control and pose them too much, just let em run around and have fun and make sure you’re ready to catch the moments.

botanical gardens wedding

12 October, 2008 – 1:14 pm

Sam and Justin are an amazing couple and I felt so honoured to photograph their wedding.
During the whole wedding process there was such a strong sense of 2 people with a real unified spirit and vision, being asked to document that spirit and energy in people is something that makes wedding photography so enjoyable.

We had a lot of fun planning the coverage and they were up for it!

The mask photo idea came from a net brainstorming session where we came across the website of US wedding photographer’s ‘The Image is Found’ who had a similar shot on their site.

Their service was beautiful held in perfect weather at the Melbourne Botanical gardens and reception at ACA was very special with the catering provided by top Melbourne restaurant, Ezards for whom Justin had been the restaurant manager.

Sam and Juz, it was a total pleasure to get to know you be involved in your wedding!
