Where the light pools - North Brisbane Family Photographer

"And sometimes,

If you wait long enough, 

if you hope hard, 

the dark clouds open 

and light

pools out defiantly 

once more" 

- Tyler Knott Gregson 

I am blessed to have been asked to capture many other photographers and their families in the past. Whilst I am always gripped with anxiety beforehand, I really am so grateful to be asked to do so. It's so wonderful to know that these images are going to be treasured. A chance for them to shine on the other side of the camera. Thanks so much for trusting me with your adorable family Victoria and making the most of our very cloudy situation. If you'd like to see Victoria's beautiful work you really should follow her on Instagram.. she's just amazing and so creative!

If you'd love to make your own special family photographs with me this year, please email xanthephotography@bigpond.com or if you'd like to see more of my work visit www.xanthephotography.com first. I photograph in North Brisbane mostly but do travel further afield. I am now taking bookings for September onwards. 

Her wild - North Lakes Family Photography

"To live is the rarest thing in the world. 

Most people just exist". 

Oscar Wilde

How beautiful is Sarah from Sarah Warry Photography?  So devoted to her boys. I'm so glad I got this opportunity to get her in the picture for a change. So important. 

Gold - Brisbane Family and Children's Photography

There is a quote in the photography world ~ "If you want to learn what someone fears losing, watch what they photograph". I am so fortunate to have been asked to capture some priceless images over the years of many loved ones, and of course gorgeous fur babies too.

Not long after this session, the beautiful family pet featured in these images, Seva,  passed away.  I am so glad that I got to photograph him with his beloved family before this happened. I hope these images bring much comfort for years to come. Thank you so much for trusting me with those most precious to you.

Everyone's Best Friend - North Brisbane Engagement Photographer

Man's best friend? 

Nah, a staffy is everyone's best friend! I was so happy to include this gorgeous dog in this engagement session. I have such a soft spot for staffy's after having lost ours a few years ago and it was beyond lovely to include Bailey in these photos. Was so great to be able to capture these fun and colourful shots for you guys. Thank you so much for braving the intense heat during your session. Congratulations! I wish you all the very best, you've been an absolute joy and I hope you love seeing these on your walls for many years to come. 

Mad Hatter Tea Party - North Brisbane Children's Photographer

"Why sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast" - Lewis Carrol 

When this little fellow's mum asked me about a Mad Hatter theme for his session, I knew we had to make it happen. I am so very grateful for the help and assistance offered to me so that we could. Thank you Juliana from Canterbury Blue and Linda from Lily Cottage. Together with their help and with some of his mum's own items, we created a lovely little Mad Hatter Tea Party setting for him. And he had a wonderful time. I think my favourite bit was when he knocked down all the stacked tea cups by accident- and we laughed so hard- and he looked up at us in wonder, as if to say- you mean you are not angry? I can DO that?

Enjoy this little look of this session for a super special boy.
