The Keen Family: Matilda Bay

Sarah — Mon, 20 May 2013 05:34:35 +0000

Simon and Kath have been together for 14 years. They are ‘uni sweethearts’ and met whilst both studying drama when Kath was 19. They have been through so much together and last March, their little family grew and they welcomed Jimmy into the world. He just happens to be one of the cutest kids I have ever met… and I am not just saying that because he is my nephew.

Kath and Simon live in Sydney so we don’t get to catch up that often. However, it’s become a bit of a tradition that when we do see each other, I do a family photo shoot for them. I love that I can look back and see tangible photos of Jimmy as he’s grown from a bump inside Kath’s belly to the little boy he now is. I am sure that one day he will resent Aunty Sarah chasing him around the backyard with her camera, but for now, he has no choice- he is simply too scrumptious not to.

Kath and Simon, I hope you like these pics… and if you move back to Perth (hint, hint) I can take photos for you all the time xxx

Sarah and Frankie: Laurance Estate Winery Margaret River

Sarah — Sat, 11 May 2013 12:17:47 +0000

Sarah and Frankie are the sweetest couple. They met at a concert organised by their guitar and drum teacher which Frankie was playing in. Although they are both still so young, they have been together for a little over 8 years and have truly grown up together. Frankie and Sarah are the first out of their friends to get married and Frankie seemed very proud of this. When the boys were getting ready there was a genuine level of excitement and laughter in the room as all of his mates seemed thrilled for him.

I love personal touches at weddings and theirs came in the form of a song which Frankie wrote called “Sarah” which was played at their ceremony, making the day all the more special. Then at the reception, guests sat down and watched a video that Sarah and Frankie’s family had put together. Their parents recounted the moment when they knew that Sarah and Frankie were made for each other and that their love would endure. It was a touching video message and testament to the love and adoration that they have for one another.

Sarah and Frankie, thank you for choosing me to document your special day. All my love x

The Gorgeous Isla

Sarah — Thu, 02 May 2013 10:06:50 +0000

Isla is just a little bundle of gorgeousness. With her amazing red locks, piercing aqua-marine eyes and rose bud cheeks, she is sure to melt hearts wherever she goes. Her parents, Rose and Trevor, were clearly besotted by her and Isla turned on the charm as soon as I walked in. She is a very happy, contented baby and is very lucky to be born into such a loving family.

Rose and Trevor: I wish you all the best in your new role as parents… I can attest to the fact that it’s all pretty fantastic!

Sarah and Frankie: Laurance Estate Winery Margaret River Wedding

I wanted to share a peek at Sarah and Frankie’s gorgeous wedding from last week. I can’t wait to post more soon.

Kara + Sean: UWA Wedding

Sarah — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 04:54:13 +0000

Kara and Sean’s wedding was so much fun to shoot. They were easy-going and relaxed and most importantly, totally in love with one another.

They were married at the Tropical Grove at UWA. The trees around the area encircled them and beautiful sunlight streamed in through the leaves, creating a wash of light upon them which was a joy to shoot.

They wanted their reception to be fun, with a real party feel. As such, they did away with the a sit down dinner and instead, guests mingled on the balcony of the Swan River Rowing Club overlooking the river before partaking in some serious dancing.

It was a beautiful day,which was only fitting for such a beautiful couple.

The Perth Hills: Tahlia and Mo

Sarah — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 12:57:28 +0000

Tahlia and Mo met at work and soon began dating. They chose to do their shoot in the hills and we spent the afternoon roaming around beautiful bush land and running through vineyards. The light was beautiful, there was a lot of laughter and they were totally relaxed with one another… perfect.

They stood back to back and wrote down their first impressions of one another…
