This beautiful girl and I (along with her Mum!) headed out to Nobbys Beach in the late afternoon for some portraits. This doorway caught my eye, and as I suspected, photographs pretty well! (Or of course that could be the gorgeous girl in front of it!)         It didn't look it, but the water was cold!     And this is probably my absolute favourite... it's so beautifully natural. Thanks girls for having me along to capture these photographs xx      

I met this big blended family on a really hot morning at Newcastle Beach. We headed straight for shade of the wall of the Ocean Baths - I just love the pastel tones in this wall!   Two gorgeous grandchildren in this family!  And some pretty proud grandparents...    

After a couple of weeks of warm summer weather, on the day of this planned beach session, it was very cool! It was very windy and unseasonably chilly, but Abby braved the weather for some awesome images! The goosebumps were more than made up for by the fantastic photos we managed to capture with the breeze and beautiful colours in the water and sky. Merewether Beach was a fantastic location for this pregnancy session - the rocks, water, baths, and pumphouse allowed us to photograph this beautiful mum-to-be in a natural style.           Thankyou Abby for choosing me to photograph you and your precious bundle in this beautiful and exciting stage in your lives - can't wait to meet bub in the New Year xx    

Is anyone out there on Instagram? If so, you're probably an addict like me! Instagram is an iPhone app - a simple app that you bring an iPhone photo into, select a filter you like the look of, and then publish to your 'feed' to share with your Instagram followers. I'm having so much fun with it, and even quickly whipped my iPhone out at a recent wedding so I could Instagram it later and share with the bride and groom while they were at their reception! This Instagram was taken at Caves Beach on Sarah and Matt's wedding day, using the 'Hudson' filter.     If you're on instagram you can find me @zoe_withtwodots
