I’ve been wanting to do a winter sun shoot for ages. Finally I found the perfect wooly jumper and the most amazing girl to model for me so it was on!

So all I had to do now was contact my beautician Mel to try lock in a time to get this show on the road.
Finally between the three of us we worked out a time that we could all see working.

And it was perfect, my model Mateeka had never modelled before but she was a total natural! From the first shot I new I was going to achieve what I imagined and more!

I decided to split the shoot into two styles, Winter Sun Goddess and a more grunge type theme.
I changed Mateekas outfit, messed her hair and re applied some more theme appropriate makeup to complete the look. She transformed from one look to another seamlessly!

The shoot was a total success, I love every frame!

In under half an hour I can get some real cute, fun and amazing photos. These kids are just perfect, I chased them down the beach then back up over the dunes to a beautiful greenery filled location to achieve some lovely photos for their mum!
The young lady below is 15yrs old and just so comfortable behind the camera. From the first photo I knew this shoot would be just too easy, she is a real natural beauty. Every frame was perfect.

Most of my photo shoot go for 1hr and we can move to various locations. These shoots were under 1/2hr but I was still able to get the shots the client was after and more. I really do love photographing families. Knowing that these photo could be up in someone walk one day really does give me a sense of pride.

And the girls…. Well you could have more fun on a shoot than getting four teenage girls together, taking them down the beach for some fun, relaxed photos. All of these girls were a blast to work with. Really down to earth, happy, smiling girls. It makes my job so much easier when the subject/s in the photo are happy, and these girls were just giggle pots!!

I am holding another mini photo shoot special day on the 23rd of January in Evans Head. Please do contact me if your interested

I asked my fav girl to shoot if she would be keen to get involved, the answer was a big YES! We ended up inviting another one of our friends, asking if she would like to be in on it as well….. Another YES!

So the day came, after all the planning, schedule changes and organisation of the props and makeup the weather was atrocious! It was wet, windy, raining and cold…..in summer. I Decided it had to go ahead, now or never!

We headed of down the beach, I did their makeup, picked out the clothes then braved the miserable weather to achieve some amazing photos!

The girls were sobering and shaking in the cold but soldiered on like real troopers as keen to get some stunning photos as I was.
I had worked with both of these girls before. They are both Evans Head locals so this is why I decided to make this an as local as possible shoot.
The shoot took place at the beach in Evans Head, then off to the boat ramp in Evans Head. I did the makeup, hair, styling, photography and editing.

I got the girls in up to their necks at the boat ramp as the fishermen watched with fascinated looks on their faces.

Then it happened, I got the shot. The shot that I wanted. As soon as my finger left the shutter button I knew….all the hard work and effort had paid off. The shot turned out just like I had envisioned….

Since then I have had the pleasure of my images being printed in an Australian wide magazine, Like A Lion. They chose to print my two favourite images from the shoot.
This is the second time I have had my work printed, and I think it looks quite good printed on the glossy pages of a magazine!!

My first swimsuit photo shoot. I wasn’t quite sure what I was doing but we just had fun and worked it out as we went. We had so much fun down the beach at sunset, the in between photos are just as fun as the final product as that is when you see how much fun my model Renee was having, cracking up laughing, pulling faces, getting smashed by waves..

This modelling type photography is new to me, but i’m loving it and hope to do much, much more of it. I want to experiment with all types of photography, different themes, styling, there is just so much creativity that can go into a shoot like this. You can really give it your all, and just hope that is works out!

I hope that you all can follow mw on my journey as I follow another path and a new direction in photography.

I’m sure in time I will become the blog master and it will not longer seem like a completely foreign world to me….well that is the hope anyway. This day In age to keep up with all the cool cats you have to be social networking savvy….im getting there!
