25.01.2022 What an amazing end to the year! 2 of my photos featured AND im officially an Unravelled artist of 2019. So amazing and I feel so lucky - such awesome news to wake up to today! Thank you to all of my amazing clients that make dreams like this come true - Happy New Year! https://www.theunraveledacademy.com//our-students-unravele

23.01.2022 Like most of you, the last few days have been blurry. I have been scrolling instagram and facebook and I keep seeing posts with amazing ambition and im in awe, im struggling to start my day before 12 at the moment and here seems to be everyone else ready to start a new year with gusto! Yesterday (whilst in a horizontal slump with a fat dog laying on top of me and scrolling my New Years day away) I stumbled upon a New Years post that I wrote on New Years day 2017 and as I r...Continue reading

23.01.2022 In Rottnest until Thursday and back to work on Monday. Celebrating my baby turning 11 with beach swims, bike rides and quokkas. See you soon x

22.01.2022 My wild one. Growing her hair. Totally over her fringe. Steals the free makeup applicators from Mecca. Loves making desert. TikTok dance queen. Has the best laugh. Knows all the words to all Lizzo songs. Wont go to bed at night. Wont wake up in the morning. Hates school. Loves home. Tells me Im mean most days. Tells me she loves me every day. Still holds my hand. Still sleeps in my bed. Stuns me with her amazing wit. Is hilarious! Odd socks always. Leaves a mess behind her like a tornado. I would complain more about the mess if I wasnt quite as acutely aware that she is already 10 and a half. More mess please, if it means I get your mess forever. Love you to the moon (and back and forward, back and forward, back and forward forever)

22.01.2022 That Autumn light

21.01.2022 Wasn’t it the most perfect first day of summer?

21.01.2022 A little update Its time to talk about the new C word, Covid-19. The invisible intruder that shows no discrimination, its everywhere. I spoke to my GP about it today and she told me that she is worried. She doesnt believe Perth has done nearly enough testing and that its only a matter of time before we see a rapid rise in those infected. Lucy and I are self isolating. I was so shocked to see so many people out at the shops today not taking any of this seriously at all. ...No social distancing whatsoever. I dont believe enough is being done to enforce the government regulations regarding this and I firmly feel that we have a huge societal obligation now to try to abide by the guidelines and do all that we can to stop the spread. Given the seriousness of the pandemic, the guidelines, my own ethics and the way in which I shoot I have had to temporarily put sessions on hold, for now. Ive emailed the clients that this will impact and depending on how the situation develops over the next couple of weeks I may need to contact more. I have to tell you, I am heart broken. I feel such a huge sense of responsibility when it comes to my work and this is really getting to me. I have pretty much been a write off this week, trying to pull myself up to keep going but in all honestly I think I will give myself an extra day to wallow before I get moving again. Ive decided to be kind to myself as these are such trying and unforeseen times, its impossible to know the right way to react. Continuing to work right now with the government guidelines is no longer possible and I will do my clients a disservice. I wont be able to produce my best work (the standard and images I strive to provide you with) if I cant get close to you, if I cant love you and cuddle your kids and hug you and tickle and poke them then it just feels so cold and unfamiliar. And I couldnt bear the thought of any of us passing this virus to one another, this is a time to go with your gut and mine tells me to do the right thing and isolate And wait out the storm. I just want to say a huge thank you to my clients for being so understanding of the situation and it pleases me so much to hear the majority of you are taking measures to self isolate (go team!) I also praise so many friends in the photography industry doing the same even though we know this will hit us hard, I have felt so incredibly supported by so many amazing women this week and I just feel incredibly lucky to know you. I will be in touch with my clients to reschedule as soon as restrictions lift and life returns to normal, or maybe a new kind of normal. If normality comes soon then all of this will be irrelevant and bookings will continue as planned. I cant wait to see you and meet you on the other side of this - when I can throw my arms around you! Take care and lots of love See more

21.01.2022 Mother & daughter More from this session in stories (and the un-cropped version too)

21.01.2022 It doesn’t get much squishier than this! Speaking of squishy newborns, I have something super exciting coming in 2021, can you guess what

20.01.2022 So happy to be back doing what I love photographing new babies

19.01.2022 Ive received a lot of emails over the weekend but havent been feeling very well today so took the day off to rest. Ill be with you tomorrow (click to see full image) Thank you so much x

19.01.2022 I love a beautiful bright cloudless sunset. I get to play with every kind of light I adore. Backlit, side lit, harsh direct, moonlit. Its like all the seasons of light in one session. Winter days like this are perfection and so is beautiful Jade

19.01.2022 When Im shooting at a session I look for light, shadows, composition, textures, I ask my clients to do a few things - sit here, put your hand there. We mostly laugh and have fun and create magic between us. Then, when I get home I sit and I go through each photo and I make sure that every image I choose for a gallery makes me feel it is so important to me that every image stirs emotion. Editing is just as intricate for me, each image is edited warm and beautiful and with d...epth and soul. All the while, as I edit, I imagine how the photos will look printed and where they will end up. perhaps in a wooden frame on a plain wall or in a brass frame on your bedside table. Every single step of the way is thought out, every step is a process and even though it may not seem it, careful decisions are constantly being made and perhaps thats where the real magic lies, in the skill of being able to make clients blissfully unaware of the thousands of tiny decisions being made to create such beauty, so that it gives you the freedom to just relax, have fun and love your beautiful babies See more

18.01.2022 Happy winter solstice lovers

17.01.2022 #listening I have just scrolled my feed and it is almost completely black. I have a lot of emotions stirring. Empathy and sadness and some guilt in there too. Lots of feelings of compassion and unity. Some fear and lots of hope. I, as I hope we all do, strive for equality and peace. Sorry for just reeling off a list of emotions. I dont want to say much. I think maybe now is more of a time to be quiet, listen and learn

16.01.2022 I wonder how many of these perfect days we have left before winter arrives?

14.01.2022 Good winter things. Long shadows, short days, early sunsets, the smell of smoke, hazy sky, low sun, golden light all day, crisp dewy mornings, steamy cups of tea, candles, wood fires, ugg boots, big cuddles, cold noses - what do you love about winter? I adored this cosy session on winter solstice

11.01.2022 Those brand new baby cuddles

11.01.2022 - YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE - More time at home means more time to blog some of my favourite sessions. I have around a years worth of backlog so im hoping to show maybe 1-2 per week. This session was so divine, a rainy day in Feb. Let me know what you think! (click link) https://laluphoto.com.au/you-are-my-sunshine/

11.01.2022 - A QUICK UPDATE - It is with a very heavy heart that I have decided to temporarily stop taking bookings for now. This is due to the government restrictions concerning the COVID-19 virus. I will be in touch with clients as their sessions approach (in the hope things will quickly return to normal and we will be able to proceed) but for now, new bookings are closed. As an alternative option and as a big heartfelt THANK YOU! for supporting my small business in these tough times ...I have decided to offer my packages as a session voucher, with some discounts. The Simple - $550.00 ($100 discount) The Story - $750 ($200 discount) This offer will only ever be available during the COVID-19 crisis. Sessions can be booked by buying a voucher with an open date. Vouchers are valid for 3 years. Vouchers will be personalised and emailed to print at home. If you would like to secure a spot at my discounted price please get in touch. Thank you and take care

11.01.2022 Adore this session, adore this family. It was a lovely morning spent together. So full of love and happiness. We all sang you are my sunshine together as the morning sun shone through the windows. I am hoping to book a few in home maternity sessions in the next few months so please let me know if your keen.

08.01.2022 A month long mentorship to guide you onto a road of rediscovering your inner artist and finding your unique voice. Read full details now, link in bio.

07.01.2022 Its always wonderful meeting a baby whose name is on my baby name list (the longer it grows the less likely Ill ever have another babe!) meet sweet baby Remy

05.01.2022 Such a lovely few days away at Pump Hill Farm Cottages in Pemberton. Foggy cold mornings and cosy wood fires at night. The kids had a ball and we loved the animals so much! This is me and Primrose the donkey and she is such a sweet, cuddly girl! Back to work tomorrow

05.01.2022 2 months with baby Grace

04.01.2022 Ill be responding to emails tomorrow. If you need me please contact me via email [email protected] thank you

04.01.2022 Its funny how it sometimes only takes a simple conversation with our kids to throw things into perspective. I often hear other photographers say that they value their worth and sense of success on their interactions on Instagram and Facebook, likes and followers etc... that the less likes they get the more they feel unsuccessful or like a loser. This morning Lucy was saying she wishes she got more likes and followers on TikTok, the whole time Im thinking and saying Lucy, ...those things are meaningless! Who cares how many likes you get, what matters is that you have fun and do what you love and are having a good time and if youre not, then decide whats important. You are amazing and wonderful and beautiful and I love you and you are full of love and creativity and are so sweet and are truly the most amazing human. The likes and follows are meaningless! Its an app on a phone, in the scheme of everything, in this life, in this world, that can be so full of wonder and amazement and beauty and love, it means nothing And then I thought maybe someone might read this and feel they also needed to hear that today See more

03.01.2022 Romance Lives Maternity

03.01.2022 Home sweet home

02.01.2022 Loved this maternity session so much. Part 1. The together photos

02.01.2022 Old homes and new babies. A few of my favourite things

02.01.2022 Every now and then I’ll get so lucky and another photographer will book me for a session. I absolutely love these shoots, working with artists is always so wonderful, hearing the words I trust you just allows so much creativity and love and fun to flow. Having trust in your photographers creative process is where it should always be at. When you book a photographer, make sure you absolutely love their work and their style and then let yourself fall completely with your heart open into that client artist relationship with full intention to allow them creative freedom. Every family is so unique and imitation of another family or another session is futile and diluted. You all have your own magic. This is Misty of @rawandwild.photo and her beautiful, growing family. Thank you for letting me make art with you

02.01.2022 If you would like to book an in-home session, just like these, I am taking final bookings for the year now. Email [email protected]

01.01.2022 To all of the parents that thank me for my patience with their kids. Feel free to drop by the morning of a shoot or a school day or most days! #notsopatientafterall #isitwinetimeyet?
