Remember Evarna and Dylan from that beautiful beach maternity session? Silly question, of course you do! I can’t believe I haven’t gotten around to blogging their newborn session – it’s one of my favourites!

I remember waiting for the exciting baby news, and Evarna’s due date came and went, but little bub was comfy where they were, staying inside Mum’s tum, for a little bit longer than predicted (nearly two weeks!). Then there was a day where I had a sudden feeling that bub had arrived, and that it was a boy. I messaged Evarna to see if bub had come yet, and he had! Oxley arrived precisely when he wanted to, and just as perfect as his mum and dad expected. A week later, I got to meet the adorable addition to the family, and yep, can confirm – a little bundle of perfection.

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 🤠

Just putting it out there to the universe… more Just putting it out there to the universe… more farm sessions please. 
Perhaps with some horses, sheep and/or chickens…ooh, or even some donkeys or alpacas?! 

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! 🫶🏼
