Still working my way through posting from last yea

Still working my way through posting from last year’s sessions… tonight I’m trying not to overthink it too much, and choosing to just post the first image that jumps out at me. So here’s one of Laura looking radiant, while growing little bubba Franco 🧡

Part 2 with the Carson fam ✨ Surely you can no

Part 2 with the Carson fam ✨

Surely you can now see why this *had* to be a ‘squeeze in as many images as I possibly can’ two-part post?!
Also, it was a struggle deciding which image to choose to be the first one, with some definitely deserving two whole squares, and sooo many favourites of Sunny 🐶😍 How does a gal decide?!

Which one is your fave? 🥰

An afternoon with the beautiful Carson Family… Part 1.
Yep, this is the session I mentioned in my stories the other day, that is impossible to squeeze into just one carousel post! So stay tuned for part 2 🧡

We’re away for a few days at the moment, soaking up the last of the school holidays ☀️

It’s flown by quicker than I expected!
One more week of hanging with my little gal pal, which means one more week until I’m back into the swing of work (well, more consistently anyway).
I thought I would be able to chip away at the few galleries I have left, a bit more than what I have. Turns out this is actually quite impossible when you have to entertain a 5 year old, 24/7 🤪
So my endless thanks to my clients for always being so rad and patient with me. You da best!

Now - hit me with ALLLL the tips for us first time kindy parents! I’m ready… but I’m also not 🥺

Yesterday was my final shoot for the year 🎉 Tha

Yesterday was my final shoot for the year 🎉 Thanks to all my rad clients for such an awesome 2022! 🧡

I wish I remembered to take BTS from all my shoots this year, so I could feature them all here, though it was hard enough to squeeze in a few clips from what I did have left on my phone (is anyone’s iCloud storage ever not always at capacity? 😅)
I’m not using ‘trending’ audio for this reel, or trying to post it at the ‘perfect time’, in the hopes it’ll be seen by a gazillion people. I just want it to be seen by my amazing clients and everyone else who helped make 2022 the awesome year that it was; and for you all to know if I could reach through your phone and give ya a big squeeze to show my appreciation, I would!

Thanks to everyone for sticking around, watching my long-ass rambling Insta stories, and continuing to support me and my ADHD brain, as I fumble my way through this ‘running a business’ thing 🤪
I appreciate every booking, every review, every referral to family and friends, and those return clients who keep coming back - it not only warms my heart and makes me happy as all heck, it also helps support my family, so I can’t thank you enough.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it a million more times - I bloody love my job! And it’s all thanks to you legends for making it as great as it is 🙌🏼

Whether it’s a chill arvo kicking back at home, or plans for a big night out, I hope you all have a kick-ass NYE ringing in the new year, doing whatever makes you happy, surrounded by the people you love most! Bring on an epic 2023 💃🧡

Thanks @hayleyrafton for the pic 📸

“Oh Jess, I am utterly obsessed!!!!! Thank you

“Oh Jess, I am utterly obsessed!!!!!

Thank you so so so so much!

Not only was it the most special day but the photos are perfect in every way and reflect what an amazing time we had. I couldn’t be happier. We truly love so many of them.

I am still so happy we booked the session with you as it was an experience we will remember for years to come - a bonus that didn’t really cross my mind of at the time of booking. Liam and I still talk about what a cool afternoon it was. (We were on such a high afterwards!)”

If you want to make a photographer’s day/week/month, send them an email like this one from Dana - they will never ever get old! Reading such lovely words like this will always put the biggest smile on my dial, a skip in my step, and fill my heart to the brim with happiness! 🥰

I know I’ve said it plenty of times before, but never underestimate how much your feedback means to us photographers (and all other creatives for that matter!).
We pour so much of ourselves into our work, and we don’t always hear back from clients, which leaves us feeling a lil’ anxious and worried (no? Just me? 😅)

I totally get that life gets busy, and sometimes emailing us back simply gets forgotten about, because there’s a million other things to think about 🤪
But even if it’s months down the track, when you’re admiring the moments captured during your session, and you suddenly realise “Oh shit, I never replied!” 😳 - I can assure you, it’ll never be too late!

So if you haven’t sent one to your photographer, do it now! Go on, spread a little happiness! Like RIGHT NOW. It costs nothing but means so much.
Hearing how much you love your photos is just the best thing ever 🧡

I could do a long-ass caption to accompany this post, about how amazing this wedding was; how these two legends crafted an epic day that was about 11/10 on the fun scale… but you know what? I think I’ma just let you see for yourself… 💃
