The Burgmann Family’s Brisbane Garden Family Photo Session

The best part about this wonderful afternoon family session - besides making this collection of photos - was seeing how excited young Xavier and Ruby were to see the wildlife at the Mt Coot-tha botanic gardens. We saw turtles, caterpillars, kookaburras and SO many water dragons - it made me realise I really do need to go outside and touch some grass more often!

It’s so exciting seeing families grow - and even more exciting when I get to help them capture it! I had the pleasure of capturing Carley and Tyler’s wedding with their little boy Billy in 2021. Since then they’ve welcomed their gorgeous daughter Frankie and pup Dusty to their family too!

Baby Jude’s Newborn Family Photo Session

Baby Jude is a pretty cool dude. He’s only been here for a matter of weeks and he’s already got “charming” down pat, plus he’s been working on his super-dextrous toes party trick. We hung out on a cosy Friday morning with his mum and dad, who’ve graced the blog before (a few times), and got some snuggly cuddly photos - and a few porchtraits! Because a baby born in COVID times absolutely deserves a porchtrait - a portrait on the porch.
