This is a Soul Session...

The kind of session where you wish to create a photo that can speak 1000 words, a piece that can make you feel something.

A series that each individual will look at and see differently, conceptually, through different life story’s and therefore - through different eyes.

The photos that make you think. Deep.

Those are the sessions I live for. soul sessions.

This was definitely one of them for me. We got to create a story, and to express feelings and meaning into an image which is what I love most about photography. Me and my daughter created something together that we will both never forget. Each image represents something different for us. We shot each image until we both achieved the right look we were going for that particular story. each image speaks something entirely different to both her and to myself in its own special way.

anxiety, sadness, anger, peace, love.

The world is forever changing. The weight our children have to carry with all of the feelings they are going through is heavy. How do our children view the current world we live in? And that all they ultimately really want is peace.

Which image do you see that represents peace to you?

What I see vs what you see

I’ve wanted to do one of these “What I see vs what you see” comparisons for a while now, but always forget about it at a session. This is a perfect example for me to post! I finally got one! And it was my own session haha. Theres a funny story behind this session actually which I feel compelled to tell you all about not only for a laugh, but to show that no matter what happens, our job as a photographer is to find the beauty in everything! No matter where we are or what surrounds us, we make lemonade out of lemons and it brings me so much joy!

So I’ve had this vision for this shoot for sooo long, of a mumma to be in an emerald dress, under a waterfall, standing under the water and holding her beautiful bump, lying in the shallow water surrounded by rocks, eyes closed, thinking about her beautiful baby thats about to make her a mum and change her life forever, something natural, flowing and just magical. So, naturally when I became pregnant myself again, I wanted to bring it to life finally. I searched for the perfect waterfall for my vision, that was nearby, in a drought, and it was like searching for a unicorn.

Then on a trip a few hours away, I saw one! It was a man made waterfall but it was absolutely perfect and I knew I would be able to make it look amazing! I wasn’t far enough along for photos then so I left it until another month and planned the whole thing. I got all dressed up, got the kids babysat for the day, did the 2 hour drive with hubby, prepared him to take photos of me in a public place (haha!) Went for the short walk to the waterfall and BAM no water, and a fence around the pump saying broken! I could not even believe it. I felt completely deflated for a minute, but there was no way I was going to waste my makeup, hair and the whole day for nothing. So I searched nearby and saw this wall of bougainvillaea,

The moment I saw this spot I literally pictured this image on the right exactly as it came out! I knew what I could create with this straight away!

Find the beauty in everything ❤️
