20.01.2022 It took us 3 years of crazy life events derailing our booked dates but we finally got this session done and even though it was insanely hot I am completely in love with these! Absolutely love love loved spending time with you and your beautiful family Jodie-Marie Milton When you give kids permission to just be themselves magic happens! If we have talked and you have either paid for or wanted to book a family shoot recently I have sessions available this Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights at 6pm, Shellharbour area. Send me an email to lock it in xxx

16.01.2022 Completely random and impulsive because that’s how I roll but I’ve decided to give away 6 mini sessions. I want to inspire random acts of kindness Pretty simple condition to enter: You can only nominate another family that have had a shitty year, not yourself. Being the year of the pandemic I feel I may be inundated with entries! If you know someone you think deserves to smile then email me their story. [email protected]... I will let this run for 2 weeks and try and post regular reminders on here (although let’s be honest, I have the memory of a goldfish ) The thought is there, I promise! Sharing a photo from 1955 of my Grandpa and my Dad who were both my teachers and inspiration for my obsession with documenting human connections x

16.01.2022 Is anyone here? Should I announce package options for photography sessions?

12.01.2022 Sharing something thats personal but my business and personal life are so completely intertwined that it just makes sense. A few months ago at 39 years old I was diagnosed with ADHD. Until my 4th child was diagnosed I was skeptical that it even existed. My psychiatrist was actually pretty astounded at how successful my life was considering the huge deficits I was working with. I ticked nearly every. single. box as someone who had adhd.... Which would explain why all the balls that I juggled were exhausting me. So if you know me or we’ve worked together you’ll know I’m not someone that’s easily forgotten I’m incredibly passionate, caring, loud, very emotional, energetic and pretty damn real. I’m intuitive and very drawn to the redness of people and relationships. That’s also what makes me the photographer I am and I’m proud of that. The flip side of that has been a pain in my ass for years and is ultimately pretty shitty when you have a thriving business. I struggle with organizing, editing (especially when I’m swamped) keeping track of emails/messages/phone calls/various social media, timelines, even replying to potential clients who I really want to work with. I don’t want to know how much money I’ve lost because of this After spending years and years beating myself up about my inadequacies I know now that it’s actually not my fault. And now I’ve identified the areas I’m lacking in, I’m able to put processes in place to help me stay on top of them! I’m a work in progress as always but I’m genuinely hopeful to put new processes in place and keep meeting the incredible people I get the privilege to work with x Also, if you have any tips re living with adhd I would love to hear them. Every day I find out something new about this fascinating neurological condition that blows my mind

11.01.2022 This incredibly beautiful couple planned a wedding in 5 days and I’m not going to lie, it’s right up there as one of my favourites!!! Such an epic adventure that suited them right down to the ground x

11.01.2022 Happy Wednesday friends! A while ago I posted that I wanted to give family sessions to 2 people with the premise that they were nominated and deserving. Well it was pretty easy to choose my winners. Congratulations to Ciara Cock and Jess Hampshire! Please email me ASAP so I can book your sessions in!... I can’t wait to spend time with you and your families and hopefully give you some happiness See more

11.01.2022 Officially signing off for a few days! If you know me you’ll know that I’m a hugely positive person and Christmas is my favorite time of year but Covid has beat down my positivity and is affecting my business so badly that my mental health is suffering. So I’ve made the decision that I’m putting an out of office email up, I’m going to hang out with my babies and husband for a few days and regroup and then come back and photograph the shit out of you all! Wishing you all the ...merriest of Christmases and i hope you can make the most of the shitty situation that we are all in Lots of love x See more

10.01.2022 When you've shot so many weddings and met so many amazing couples its hard to have a favorite. I liken it to choosing a favorite child (which I obviously don't have ) I can easily say that these beautiful ladies are definitely up there, and will always be in my heart. I cried so many times, laughed so many times, had epic goosebumps and danced until the day was done. Your love, your incredible connection and the support you have just makes me so flippin happy! Jacinta and C...hloe, thank you for choosing me and allowing me into your incredible wedding day bubble Also huge shoutout to the epic team that worked to make the day bloody great!

08.01.2022 So I'm editing and I have to keep stepping away from my desk as I'm getting so emotional seeing the candid images of family, esp parents and grandparents. This sequence of this beautiful Mama helping her 3rd and last son get dressed before his wedding are killing me! For me though this means 2 things: I'm definitely doing the right thing as far as my career goes. I have lost my Parents and Grandparents. I need to do this for others.... The candid moments, the emotions and the connections on a wedding day mean soooo much more to me to capture than beautiful portraits of the couple. So I emphasise! If your most important part of the day is a tonne of beautiful portrait images, I'm not your gal. I will do them and I will freaking love doing them but they wont be my focus. My focus will be capturing how your Mum watches you getting ready or your Dad wiping his eyes during the ceremony or your Grandpas crinkly smile as your dancing. These are the images I desperately wish I had for my wedding and the ones I know I need to deliver. If this is what you want, get in touch x www.bethfphotography.com.au

07.01.2022 Guys! I’m editing a wedding and I’m looking at all of the beautiful photos I took of the beautiful bride walking down the aisle but I’m so bloody sad because nearly every guest there has a phone in front of their face! And there’s no smiles, only looks on concentration while they try to get the photo I can promise you that if you’re a guest at a wedding that I’m shooting, any photo you take will be nowhere near as good as mine will be! Also, as long as the couple is ok with... it I’m happy to share any images I take! So please, I’m begging you, put your phone down and enjoy the once in a lifetime moment that you’ve been invited there to enjoy and know that I’m there to do a job and you’ve been lucky enough to have been chosen to witness an incredible event Photo of these beautiful ladies so this post doesn’t get lost in your feed!

05.01.2022 So these beautiful humans were supposed to be married in April but Covid ruined that. They made the excellent decision to elope with only 4 other people there and it was absolutely perfect. The big celebratory party will be next year but for now they are husband and wife and I couldn’t be happier for them x Side note, if you’re looking for a rad af celebrant I have another to add to your list of potentials. Sydney Celebrant Glenn is your guy

04.01.2022 GIFT VOUCHERS AVAILABLE Every year I’ve either photographed mini sessions or offered them in voucher form. This year being how it’s been has meant that I was unable to find a date that would work as I ended up picking up last minute weddings and also helping other photographers who had been affected by COVID restrictions. So I’m now doing my standard Gift Voucher post, just slightly later than normal ... Ok so I’m offering gift certificates for 2 packages. A mini and the mini plus. Location will be somewhere beautiful around the south cost area local to me. Mini is 30 minutes, 20 images for $295 Mini Plus is 45 minutes, 50 images and two 8x10 prints for $395 There will also be an option to purchase all images and other prints. They are available now and can be picked up if you’re local or I can post up until Tuesday. A digital version can also be sent if needed. Email me at [email protected] to purchase or for more info See more

01.01.2022 I’m really feeling a pull to shoot film during a wedding. Maybe in this next year with all the uncertainty I should just jump and try to fly @marcusrusbournemedia @leahmitchellfloral

01.01.2022 So flipping excited to be a part of something like this!
