Evarna + Dylan

Evarna + Dylan

November 18, 2019Family, Maternity, Beach0

What can I say about this beach maternity session, except it was pretty much a dream! Evarna and Dylan are the kind of people that are so easy to be around. They are so chilled out and easy-going, it just made the whole session a breeze. Also, how stunning is this mama?! If it could be guaranteed that I’d look this good while pregnant, I’d mayyybe consider another, haha.
We had perfect weather, and while it looks pretty warm, the water was still a bit chilly at this point. But Evarna had zero f’s to give – she still jumped in those icy waves! What a bloody trooper. I’m a wimp when it comes to cold water at the beach, and my husband makes fun of me for the fact it has to be just the right temp for me to get my butt in there.

Can’t wait to meet their little bub in a few months!

If this maternity beach session looks like your jam, send me a message so we can book in a date to document that beautiful bump!

So excited to finally be able to post more than 10 So excited to finally be able to post more than 10 slides! 💃 
Though it was still hard to choose which images to include from Sandy and Maddie’s incredibly beautiful wedding from last year - I love a country wedding, and this one was bloody stunning! 
A lush, green garden; Maddie’s rad, pink ensemble; the colourful garden party vibes, and those epic floral arrangements! (I think I took 50 photos of those alone) - what more could you ask for?!

If you’re planning a rural wedding - hit me up! This country gal loves an excuse to head out on those long, dirt roads 🤠

It’s been a while since I posted some b&w shots, It’s been a while since I posted some b&w shots, so here’s a couple of favourites from this beautiful maternity session with Jen and James 🤍

Pretty please and thanks 🙏🏼

Right up there with showing up to a shoot without Right up there with showing up to a shoot without a battery or memory card, one of the scariest things for me as a photographer is…capturing another photographer 😅😅😅 it’s so nerve-wracking! 
And maybe it’s just me, but for some reason I feel very vulnerable and exposed 😂 
Maybe it’s because like a lot of photographers, I usually work alone - so I don’t have colleagues or a boss to watch me work, and so when I’m shooting another photographer, like the lovely and talented @dainamariephotography who does what I do, I suddenly feel insane pressure to perform 🫣
However, a huge perk in this situation is they also know that the more relaxed they are (aka pretending that I’m not even there) is what results in a beautifully candid gallery like this one 🧡

About a month ago, I started going through my clie About a month ago, I started going through my client galleries and downloading a bunch of images from them onto my phone, so that when the urge strikes, I had some ready to post.
Weirdly (for me), I had only selected 6 from this particular session 🤔 Now, I’m certain I had some sort of reason behind this, but as of this moment, I have no idea what that reason was. 
Quickly choosing just a few at random, so as to not overwhelm myself with choice? 
Possibly. 

If that’s the case though, past-Jess was kidding herself, because right now, all I can think is that there is absolutely, positively, no way in the world, I can only share 6 images from this session. 

So here are a few favourites of this ridiculously beautiful fam, in a ridiculously beautiful location, basking in the glow of a ridiculously beautiful sunrise.

Oh, and of course there’s so many I love from this gallery that there’s no way there’s not going to be a part 2 (…and I don’t think I could rule out a part 3 either tbh 💁🏼‍♀️).

Hey! Hi! Hello! Long time, no see wave 👋🏼 I Hey! Hi! Hello!

Long time, no see wave 👋🏼 I just wanted to do a quick post to say I’m still here, because a thing that I’ve been worried about happening, finally happened - someone wasn’t sure if I was still in business, due to my being shit at socials these days 😅 

So I wanted to clarify that. I’m still very much here, and in business! Just forever in my editing cave 🧌 (me as a troll, which I imagine I look like when occasionally leaving my cave).

I then realised I needed to choose an image to post, so off I went, down the gallery rabbit hole, trying to decide *which* image to share, and an hour later, after wondering “HOW have I not shared ANY of these yet?!?”, and proceeding to download between 30-50 images to my phone, from the few galleries I’d looked at… I realised it would take me another hour (lol jokes, it’d probably be 2) trying to put together a carousel of said images.
Then my brain said “JESUS CHRIST JESS! JUST QUICKLY PICK ONE FAVOURITE AND POST THE DAMN THING!”

And so here I am. Posting the damn thing…Before I get distracted…again.
A favourite from a lovely morning, spent with the even lovelier Aitchison fam 🌴🐕 

I’ll be sure to post the other 248 favourite photos I downloaded, soon…ish.
Promise! 🫶🏼
