Tree and Sea - North Brisbane and Bribie Island Family Photography

Where the trees meet the sea. 

Where each stone, leaf, pebble and shell 

is waiting to be discovered by little hands. 

The Sea - Brisbane and Bribie Island Lifestyle Photography

"She loved the sea. 

She liked the sharp 

salty smell of the air, 

and the vastness 

of the horizons 

bounded only by a vault 

of azure sky above. 

It made her feel small, 

But free as well."

George. R. R. Martin 

The Sunflowers - Bridgeman Downs Brisbane Family Photographer

I'm so grateful for random opportunities, the kindness of strangers

and for beautiful clients who put their faith in me.

Connected - North Brisbane and Bribie Island Family Photography

You can't photoshop love, connection, genuine affection and charm into your photos. So you can imagine how wonderful it feels to photograph families that have these in abundance. So precious. Hold onto it guys.

"A little ray of sunshine has come into the world. 

A little ray of sunshine, in the shape of a girl"

"Dogs are not our whole life, 

but they make our lives whole" 

- Roger. A. Caras

"Are you ready?" she said to me. If you'd heard the tremendously loud barking as I entered the home, you may have understood my slight hesitation before saying yes to her letting the 'big one' in! But what lovely dogs. What a blessed family. I love including your pets in your sessions,so please ask. I'm definately more of a dog person. But don't hold that against me, ok?

Fresh 48 Sessions - Brisbane Newborn and Storytelling Photography

This was one of the most remarkable and heartwarming sessions I have ever done. My very first Fresh 48 session at hospital with a brand new bubba and his big sisters having their first cuddle and hold. Such a wonderful and emotional experience. You can see their sweet maternity session here. Fresh 48 sessions are as the title suggests undertaken in the first 48 hrs of your little one's life, often while they are still in hospital.. and I would love to do more of these. Please email me (Mandii) at xanthephotography@bigpond.com if you'd love something like this too.

"Thank you so much for the beautiful photos and memories you have captured. 

We are so happy with them and we would encourage anyone else 

who is thinking of these kind of photos to definitely get them done!" ~ E
