Embrace - North Brisbane Family Photographer

Photographing until the very last drop of light because the kids were enjoying being together so much. Taking the time to pause and embrace each other right now, just the way they are. Things change so soon. Thank you for placing your trust in me guys, it's an afternoon I will always treasure. You are wonderful and are raising two tremendous kids x  Here's the short, short version. Was so hard to choose what to leave out. 

Please take the time to visit beautiful Kell's website. She's an incredible newborn and maternity photographer. If you'd like an outdoor family session with myself in North Brisbane and surrounds, there are still just a few places left before Christmas. You can visit www.xanthephotography.com for more details or email me (Mandii) at xanthephotography@bigpond.com 

Golden Hour - North Brisbane Family Photography

What a wonderful keepsake from their family holiday- 

photographs taken in the beautiful golden light of a Brisbane afternoon.

Collecting moments.. not things. So precious. 

If you are visiting Brisbane and would like an afternoon outdoor session with myself please email me (Mandii) xanthephotography@bigpond.com I still have availability in November and December this year. 

Motherhood- North Brisbane Family Photography

As I was taking the last frames from this session, she squeezed her babies and said.. "oh this here.. this is what I want to always remember." 

It wasn't perfect guys.. the boys were well over it all and there were more than a few midgees around biting us. However, even in that moment this beautiful mumma understood the importance of the photos we were taking. She felt it. Those little fingers curled around her neck and the feel of their little cheeks and hair against her face. It will never be perfect guys.. but it's always beautiful. That's motherhood. 

If you'd like your own imperfect photography session with me in North Brisbane or the surrounding area you can email me at xanthephotography@bigpond.com or visit www.xanthephotography.com for more information 

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.
