Marina is that someone special. We both attended the Art and the Heart Workshop in Melbourne earlier this year. Lucky enough to share a room with this  lovely lady. Without disclosing personal details Marina has gone through more sadness, loss, challenges and heartbreak at such a young age than many would face their entire life. You hear those stories of people who for some reason seem to have an extremely bad run – one thing after another. Though it became apparent it was part of a bigger picture for Marina – she is here for a reason, she does and will do more amazing things to enlighten, guide and support others. Her philosophy to enjoy the here and now and say exactly what you think ensures she gets the most out of life. We had so much fun over the 3 days – tears of joy and also a few of shared emotion. These images were taken in about 5-10mins to finish off a roll – naturally beautiful and full of sunshine. I am blessed to know her. Check out her photography - Marina Locke Photography.

Contax G2 Portra 400

Past wedding clients of mine Kirsten & Darren kindly welcomed me into their home to meet and photograph their beautiful baby Ella. Yes she has the chubbiest cutest cheeks ever – gorgeous.

All my Portrait/Family Sessions are shot on Film – Portra 800 & Tri-X 400

Another outing with Lucy, my Contax and 1 roll of 120 (16 exposures) – love the colour palette of Fuji 400H. This used to be the old police station on First Ave, Maroochydore – now a funky Coffee hang-out ‘Caffeine Culture’. They also offer barista courses – one of the best coffees I have had in a while – Lucy just enjoyed getting her own toast.

Trish from TF Makeup and I usually get together during off-peak and do a concept shoot – something a little different to the norm. Special mention to Liz from A Sculpted Leaf for creating an amazingly creative and unique bouquet – brides-to-be you must definitely put her on your list. Also thanks to Karen for supplying the Augusta Jones gown – it was just perfect. Of course Soraya did a stella job as always!!!     All shot on yummy Film.

I can definitely tell some  stories about Angela in her youth – actually  she  is the same fun-loving girl now. Just look at these awesome images I captured of her & Greg with daughters Jesse and Rachel. If this is how you want to remember your gorgeous family drop me a line.

Contax 645 Tri-X 400 & Portra 400

These are some of our favourite people ever – Jason, Kim, Lucy and Mia! These were taken earlier this year when they visited us on the Sunny Coast. Spending New Years Eve watching the fireworks at Manly again this year with them and some other cool people. A little video from last year by my eldest Danica – so much fun. Have a great one whatever you do – looking forward to 2012!

(Disclaimer – the last pose was at Jason’s request – not my normal style – luv ya Jas).

Contax 645 & Kodak Portra 400
