Schloss Schönbrunn Family Session

I love it when people find me through someone I have photographed before.
Nikkie sent me a message last year when I announced that I was going to be in Vienna for a few weeks in 2015.
It turns out she saw the photos I took of her friend’s wedding, Charlotte, and wanted me to take photos of her little family too.

I love photographing families as much as I love photographing couples in love.
Seeing that joy and excitement from new parents is truly magical.
That to me is what photography is all about, documenting love in all its form.

New York, New York

‘Go at least once a year to a place you have never been before.’
– Dalai Lama

I can’t believe it’s been more than 2 months since we’ve visited New York.
It has always been on top of my ‘list of places I would love to visit’ one day, and it was everything I had imagined it to be.
It has definitely become one of my favourite cities and I cannot wait to go back and explore it more.

Celebrating Life

Last week to celebrate my birthday early, my family and I went on a mini holiday to Bali for a week.
It was our first time and it was beautiful.
The food, the colours, the sunsets and not to mention the people.
It was the perfect place to just pause, breathe and celebrate life.

You know the saying, “Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.”?
It couldn’t be more true.

Palais Schönburg, Vienna Wedding – Vintage Romantic Styled Shoot

When we started dabbling in photography 4 years ago, I never would have thought that it would take me to where I am now.
Somehow, following your dreams also comes with great self-doubt and fear of the unknown, especially when you’re only starting out.
But when you have people in your life who believe in you and want nothing for you but to succeed, nothing is impossible.
I should also add that my husband alone is equivalent to one army when it comes to supporting me and making sure I never give up.

This beautiful styled-shoot was organised by my amazing and talented sister, Katherine.
I’ve always considered myself lucky to be able to work with some awesome people in the industry – both here in New Zealand and Austria – so getting the opportunity to work with my sister was definitely a bonus.

Palais Schönburg was filled with so many intricate details, which set the mood for the entire shoot.
I’ve always loved everything vintage and romantic, so having this beautiful palace as the backdrop for this shoot was definitely a treat.
Add the group of these amazing vendors who made it all possible – and it was a dream come true!

Wellington Boho Beach Styled Shoot
