We have just had the pleasure of taking family portraits at Dural. Here is a sneak peak of some portraits of their adorable cherubs. We photographed this wonderful family four years for their pregnancy portraits, then soon after when their twins Chase and Ella were 11 weeks old. We came back to photograph them again, […]
You know that incredible rush you get when you are in your element… well I had the opportunity twice today to get that rush. This feeling is something to cherish and never take for granted.

I was recently in Newcastle for a workshop giving lots of professional photography tips to my colleagues who were keen to further develop their skills both technically and in business.

In just a few days I will return to my home province of Taranaki on the west coast of New Zealand’s North Island for a Maori reunion of the Niwa Whanau (‘family’). It has been 18 years since I made the big move to Sydney’s beautiful Northern Beaches suburb of Manly. Although I loooove the […]
We had a delightful photo shoot of a gorgeous, bright little Mini Schnauzer named Darcy who we were introduced to by Willoughby Vet. Our whole team fell in love with Darcy as we took a series of photographs of him in our studio. He was an absolute darling to photograph. At only six months old […]
This was my welcome to ‘Middle Earth’ New Zealand as I drove through a little seaside town called Mokau. For Taranaki people travelling home from the North, this is a heartwarming view to look forward too. If you look closely in the distant horizon you will see Mt Taranaki/Egmont faintly popping out behind the hills […]
Here is an insight into our studio portrait shoot of lovely dogs Possum and Ducky at our photography studio on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. 14 yr old Possum is a Pedigree Jack Russell who is easy going and very people oriented. 13yr old Ducky is an extremely glamorous, sometimes hyperactive Chihuahua who like Possum, loves to […]

We’d like to share these portraits taken of a delightful family at Balmoral Beach on Sydney’s North Shore. We first met parents Rhoda and Nic last year when they had business portraits taken at our studio. As the couple were approaching a significant milestone being their 21st Wedding Anniversary they thought it apt to capture […]
We had such fun working with 13yr old Bonnie and her owners Maureen and David. It might be hard to visualise the transformation of Bonnie from when we arrived and started testing the lighting to how you see her confidently posed on her chair. She was initially terrified by the flashes from our studio lights. […]

Meet Coco the Shih Tzu cross Papillon (also known as a Papastzu) who rules the Niwa household at my mum and dad’s in Waitara, Taranaki, NZ. It took only a day for me to become besotted with her like my parents and niece. It was a total novelty having her on my photography assignments most […]

We just photographed two beautiful Rag Doll Cats at our photography studio. Charlie, is the lighter cat on the left, and Frankie the darker one on the right. They are adorably soft and fluffy, but also very sneaky! We spent half of the shoot trying to get them out from hiding under the couches. Clare, […]
We met this wonderfully warm spirited lady, Irene (pictured below) through her niece who is a family portrait client of ours from Mosman. Irene wanted to celebrate a milestone year in her life and what better backdrop to use than the picturesque Sydney harbour. Irene loved the idea of using Cremorne Point on Sydney’s North […]
The Vivid Light Show projection on to The Sydney Opera House and the giant chandelier in front of the Park Hyatt was again a real draw card on my 2nd visit. The chandelier had changed colour from magenta (the night before) to a warm red. I experimented with the camera settings including the white balance […]
Here’s an image taken last night at Vivid Sydney. First destination was to witness all the excitement around a giant chandelier in front of the Park Hyatt.
