25.01.2022 I get so wild when my lovers tell me, I get to take control of my creative vision! Ohh my heart, soul and ind fucking explode! Kylie + Lincoln, have been a part of my life for a few years now, documenting their lives here and there, and so when they said they were having an intimate elopement on the Gold Coast - excitement was a short understatement. We drank gin, had loud music, laughed, and took photos everywhere from their air bnb, on the road, someone's driveway, the bac...kyard and finally ended it at the beach at sundown. It was so fucking perfect! Who is loving this style of wedding? Kylie is such a creative when it comes to styling her events - always in awe! xxx @ Gold Coast, Queensland
24.01.2022 This morning was so worth the 4.30 am wakeup Ali + Ash are the sweetest lovers ever and were to down to get into that waterfall Anyhoo,it was an epic morning, talking about life, babies, work, and their future plans. My fave thing about creating art? Its the humans that I get to hang out with.... It gives me that passport into their lives -to learn a little more about the world. Its so fucking awesome
24.01.2022 I AM BAAAACKKKKKK!!! Holy shit what a refreshing five days that was for me.. a nice little getaway up on the Sunshine Coast with the family Do you know what I learned? Do you know what I figured out? ... Do you know what finally clicked for me? Gah. I can't even deal with how simple it is. I have read it in books, I have listened to it in podcasts, and I have watched all the modules in my courses. But the answer never reveals itself until you are actually READY to finally freakin hear it - am I right? So get on with it.. you say. Ha. Well.. what finally clicked for me is.. that I have been running on "Imposter Syndrome" for YEARS I have a damn business yo, yet I still feel like it's just a dream and someone is gunna be like " Daphne who do you think you are being a photographer ?" But really - "Who the fuck am I NOT TO BE?!" So, the tide is changing, the mindset has shifted + I am focusing on a new path. Coz fuck being a struggling artist + fuck having my art hidden from the world that needs to see it Double tap for a freakin first pump baby!! xx @ Gold Coast, Queensland
21.01.2022 "I came across your work and really love the way you get people" This is probably 90% of what my lovers tell me when they lock me in for a portrait session or wedding. And you know what? ... It totally blows my head up. BIG TIME. But it also screams out to me that there is a misconception about the idea who you are "meant to be " whilst you're getting your photos taken. With me, there is no point faking in baby. If your shy, I will get that wild out of you, if your wild I will get that intimacy out of you. Anything I ever document is just really you.. all along. I just finally get to show you. It may have been buried deep inside with the day to day, chores, career, hustle, or parenting. But when we are quiet. Still. And present. It shows. That's what I love most. This part of my work. That everyone. EVERYONE. Is pure art just by being themselves. Do you think of your love as art? xx @ Gold Coast, Queensland See more
19.01.2022 You know what get me all fluttery?! When my lovers look at each other like this It makes me so damn wild! ... It also makes me utterly grateful for the space that we get to create within our session. Music pumping, emotions riding high, and its just them.. and me. Making art. Open. Raw. Honest. Vulnerable as ever. They let me in. Let me tell their story - this is what I just live for. Can you feel their passion through these images? @dancingwithher @smart.blonde @ Gold Coast, Queensland
19.01.2022 What do you do if it rains? Lucky for us it was just a drizzle but it made things exciting - it put a level of adrenaline into our portraits. Trying to beat the heavy rain was a challenge but a fun one ... Alex + Jordan gave no fucks ether - I mean why would you? You just got freaking hitched baby! Does the rain freak you out?? P.s it is also deemed massive good luck on your wedding day so I feel like its a win win xx @ Tweed Heads, New South Wales See more
18.01.2022 This is the photo that K got mounted on the wall for her first year wedding anniversary, she messaged me and told me she loves it so much, that there is so much emotion behind it, and even when they are disagreeing (married life am I right?) , she just looks at that framed print and her heart melts for him again. When I got that message, I just get that belly flop. That instant, gratification that ME, yes me, is on the right path, that I am doing exactly what I have always ...wanted to do. Bring people together and do this by creating art with them. So if you never wanna get divorced, get a shoot done with me and then use it as a buffer in your home ;) Your welcome xxx
16.01.2022 I got my first camera five and a half years ago, when my husband surprised me with it for our first trip overseas. It really ignited something in me. And I am so glad he got me that present, we were so young, had no idea what this would turn into, and also not financially in a place to get a brand spanking new camera. So in hindsight getting that camera was pretty fucking special. ... In the past five years, it has been really up and down, as life usually is. I started with babies, thought that was how I would "make it" (ha.) and then it slowly involved into weddings, and now my heart is dead set into lovers boudoir sessions with a few weddings per year. I can't believe that I am opening my own studio next month and am excited to be having tons of fun creating rad amazing art with my lovers. It's so crazy to think back how these five years have gone, to what should have just been a hobby has now been a fully fledged creative endeavour I get to call a "career". Have you got a similar story to mine? Did you fall into your dream career? I am feeling all the grateful vibes right now for my past and future clients for making this happen! xxx #surpriseproposal @ Gold Coast, Queensland
15.01.2022 Mmmmmm ... I so loved LOVEEDDDD this surprise engagement shoot @unforgettableproposals. . What a way to really add value to your epic milestone. Nothing more honest, raw and beautiful than this moment . . I am loving that restrictions are starting to ease and that I am allowed to start shooting again! I have had the best break to be honest, and it came to me at such a time ~ a time I didn't even think I needed! I was in a crazy cycle of rush rush + busy busy without e...ven making much of an impact. But now, after some time away from my business, I am slowly starting to dip my toe back in... but with fresh creative eyes + a new HEALTHY mindset xx @ Gold Coast, Queensland
14.01.2022 I had a big caption but my sons have other plans and I am truly CBF rewriting it all again - so that can be for another day Good night @ Gold Coast, Queensland

14.01.2022 Happy Tuesday beautiful humans! I am so thankful for all my lovers + families who have given me a google review! Your prints are on their way <3 It's my way to say thank you, for taking the time to write a google review, which helps my business. I am doing this forever - so if you haven't written one yet and would love a beautiful 5x7 print - then get onto it! ... I am sending out seven beautiful prints this week xxx
14.01.2022 This sequence makes my heart pound SO HARD As you SWIPE along, you just feel Hayley's "I did it!" vibes after she successfully surprised Maddy with popping that question Xxx
14.01.2022 How epic is this proposal!! Out at Kooroomba Vineyard and Lavender Farm last week - was so beautiful to drive out that way! Congrats to my lovers xxx @unforgettableproposals
13.01.2022 Do you know how excited I am right now?! FREAKIN EXCITED! My previous posts have been shared, direct messaged, saved + loved on by so many people around the world! My art! My work! My passion! ... It has turned me around MASSIVELY today! So this post, is about my gratitude, to my lovers, for always being themselves + also by always letting me be myself. My weird, wild, loud, creative, passionate self. I am bursting with love + so double tap to keep this amazing energy going my sweet lovers xxx See more
12.01.2022 WHY THE EXCITEMENT?! You ask. I am giving myself, and my family a well deserved break! I scream. So, that I can come back refreshed, and ready to serve you all at my 100% ! ... Who wants a burnt out artist? I sure as hell don't. How can I even produce my art in such a state?! I wouldn't even know. Plus, my camera has just shit itself, and now am looking to rent out a Sony for next week's elopement! Which, feels like a blessing in disguise, as I have been wanting to switch over for awhile now.. Life happens FOR us - not to us! Remember that my lovers! Do you love that quote? Tap if you agree! Until then, see you in my emails + my face will be back on IG stories again on Monday xxx @ Gold Coast, Queensland
12.01.2022 WHAT IS IT THAT YOU DO? People ask. I am a LOVERS photographer. I reply. What the fuck does that even mean you then say? ... Well it means, I get to document the shit out of beautiful relationships, however they look, show up or portray. By being so damn honest, real, raw + open to all my lovers, in return I get the most openly loving, kind, vulnerable + deeply connected humans to document I have the most intense experiences with my lovers, they tell me about their love story (which is one of my fave parts of this whole journey!), what they do, how they want to spend the rest of their lives, their hopes + dreams. It's actually really fucking special and Maddy + Hayley @smart.blonde are no different ether - they opened their hearts to me, and in return we got to create some epic art. I'm excited to blog them + share their story because it's one filled with unwavering faith in the unknown, a festival ticket + some Covid decisions! Juicyyyyyyy! Comment + share your love story I would love to know! xxx @ Gold Coast, Queensland
12.01.2022 Did you know that Steph has shot with my THREE TIMES?! I have watched her grow, and her baby grow over the past couple of years, and it has been so fucking awesome. We call ourselves "soul sisters" - because we are both totally crazy, creative and weird haha. But we both have a firm belief in loving ourselves no matter what, and also loving the body we are in! I am grateful for women like Steph, who are strong, fearless, and don't give a fuck, and I love the fact that she b...rings her daughter with her on every shoot. To me, that feels special, that feels empowering, because no matter what, her daughter will always grow up knowing that her mother loved and appreciated herself no matter what season she was in. So here are a few faves of Steph, and in honoring Steph and her single mothering duties - we are putting in a little kids corner for all the other parents who have their little tots with them during their shoots. So everyone is happy always. The studio (launching in Jan 2021) will be a beautiful, safe and empowering space for big and littlies! How rocking is that?! Xx @ Gold Coast, Queensland
11.01.2022 One of my couples had to reschedule their wedding to next year. But did she postpone her marriage? Hells no!... Instead we are now planning an intimate elopement with just two other people and having the raddest party later to celebrate. Don't let pandemics stop you from starting your life. Just pivot. If anything, Covid-19 has taught us the biggest lesson of all. The world could stop at any moment. So why wait? Just marry now. Live for NOW. If you believe in this let me know I am doing exclusive Elopement packages specific to couples who have had to reschedule but still want to go ahead xxx @ Gold Coast, Queensland See more
07.01.2022 SOMETHING FOR MY BOHO BRIDES I love a good boho themed wedding, they are beautiful, colourful, stylish , and usually are really laid back! Its when the love of creativity + fun collide and it usually creates a really rad atmosphere ... Save this post for some inspiration because it has everything you need xx @ Gold Coast, Queensland
06.01.2022 GOOD MORNING AND GOOD NEWS LOVERSSSSS!!! As of Friday my internet came back on after a week and a half of shitting itself after the storm took out one of our towers #countrylife - not only was I going out of my mind because I had no service to post even a photo of any of my lovers but I also had to parent the old school way I kid... kind of. We did use DVD'S though + that brought back some nostalgic memories of always licking the disc clean (you didn't do that? Oh mus...t be just me then) Whilst I have been blessed again of said internet - I gave my new website a good crack again. I started it in August (ish) + lost hope after realising it wasn't as fun as I thought ALAS, I got there. My Sunday was spent holed up in my office, with a great nutrition meal plan that consisted of toast, maltesers + a million bottles of water #hydrationislife It should be able to launch by end of next week If not, remind me + kick my lazy bitch butt. Cos it actually looks really fucking good! Anyhoo, have a fabulous day lovers xxx
06.01.2022 HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my beautiful friend + bride @_courtneyrayner Hope your day is filled with sexy smooches, yummy food + dancing !! Love you! xx
06.01.2022 I have been DYINNNGGGGGG to share this gallery with you lovers! Ayesha + Adam came down from Emerald for a family holiday, and whilst they were on the Gold Coast, decided to update their photos, seeing as they didn't have much from their wedding + the other photos always had their sweet daughter in it #familylife A+ A wanted something just for themselves, to celebrate their third year wedding anniversary, to give themselves even just one hour to get present, connect + just ...really love one another. With a hectic life filled with running their business, parenting and building their house - this was so needed This is why I do what I do. I just fucking love it. I could scream it from the rooftops! When they told me how much they love their images - my heart just burst open into a million puffs of magic star dust ---- I want to shoot every couple who needs to make time for their lover - so I am running Christmas mini sessions! October 28th/29th 30 mins Ormeau Studio 25 edited images $399 DM ME for your spot (only a few spots left) xxx -------------------------------------------------

04.01.2022 Maddi + Riley - a sweet little lovers session with a little sweet bump to accompany them <3 You know what I love most about this session? I even raved about it when I got home to my family. It was getting to document these two, their easy going nature, and pure adoration for each other.... You can see the way Riley just acts around Maddi - the way he holds her hands, strokes her hair, and dotes on that bump - and their's Maddi always giggling and smiling in reply. These two. They gave me that sweet little reminder of how much I fucking love humans, and the way they hold space for one another. It's just pure, honest love. The groovy stuff that makes us feel alive. xxx
