24.01.2022 What’s something that made you smile today? #canonaustralia #australia #graziher #aussiekids #therealdealphotography #countrystyle #wattlewomen #countrystyleloves #ruralfamily #farmingfamily #huntervalley #australianfamilyphotographer #macedonranges #countrylife... #ruralaustralia #dogsofinstagram See more

24.01.2022 I’m all about those real moments! When all you want is a nice photo with your Mum, but the rest of the family is heckling you....! This moment definitely caught me by surprise but jeez it made us laugh! I’m so glad I was quick enough to catch it.... Anyone else have a ‘give-no-shits’ grandmother in their family?? #canonaustralia #australia #therealdealphotography #ruralfamily #farmingfamily #huntervalley #australianfamilyphotographer #macedonranges #countrylife #ruralaustralia #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotographer #blackandwhiteportrait

24.01.2022 After a week away in Brisbane photographing a couple of families and trying to keep my kids entertained we’re finally back home. I’m exhausted. I’m off to Talwood tomorrow for another family shoot and we were then meant to embark on our week long trip to Longreach (photographing families along the way with my own family in tow) but it has had to be postponed. I was looking forward to getting away with my little crew for a bit as we don’t get to spend a heap of time together ...- so looks like we’ll be staying put for the second week of school holidays. Inspire me with your school holiday plans! Are you going anywhere/what are you doing? I’ll most likely be spending mine around a washing basket... #canonaustralia #australia #graziher #therealdealphotography #countrystyle #countrystyleloves #ruralfamily #farmingfamily #huntervalley #australianfamilyphotographer #macedonranges #countrylife #ruralaustralia #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotographer #blackandwhiteportrait

24.01.2022 Another beautiful print option that is now available in the print shop!

23.01.2022 I don’t think I ever shared this here. Earlier in the year when QLD were experiencing the initial self isolation period I took part in a mini keepsake film challenge with @filminglifeacademy. It’s far from perfect and there’s so much I need to work on but I’m thrilled with my first attempt. I haven’t made another film since because I’ve just been too busy but I absolutely love this little video and it makes me smile every time I watch it.

23.01.2022 THANK YOU... ...to everyone who has supported me and my little business again this year. It was a major challenge at one stage and an absolute cracker during another. 2020 has been by far the busiest I’ve ever been and I could NEVER have gotten through it without all the support from my family and friends who have looked after my kids while I travel all over the place, photographing other families for my job, that’s not really a job - because I honestly love what I do and I n...ever think of it as ‘work’. And thank you to every family, couple and business that has employed me this year and trusted me to photograph them the only way I know how. It’s a huge responsibility and I really feel the importance of the moments I’m asked to document. You’re continued support helps me contribute to my own family which I’m THE MOST thankful for. I hope everyone has a fantastic time celebrating Christmas with their family and friends, and I hope 2021 is good to us all. It’s time for a fresh start. #australia #graziher #canonaustralia #therealdealphotography #countrystyle #countrystyleloves #ruralfamily #seqldcountry #countrykids #queensland #abcmyphoto #countrylife #thefamilynarrative #illuminateclasses #toowoombaregion #countryliving #toowoombaphotographer #ruralaustralia #australianfamilyphotographer #seqld #countryaustralia #thisisqueensland

23.01.2022 I’m back at work today after a few day at home with the kids. These were taken at the river a couple of days ago.

19.01.2022 Our kids will never be this little again. As each new day comes, our babes grow just that tiny bit more. And it’s almost like overnight they’re now in high school. Don’t wait for the ‘perfect’ time to document your family. Every minute, every day, every month is necessary. Don’t lose those early years! ... #canonaustralia #australia #wattlewomen #therealdealphotography #countrystyle #thefamilynarrative #illuminateclasses #countrystyleloves #ruralfamily #australianfamilyphotographer #countrylife #toowoomba #ruralaustralia #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotographer #blackandwhiteportrait #toowoombaphotographer

15.01.2022 Until having kids myself I never could really understand what mothers meant when I would hear them say they would do anything for their children. I just didn’t fully comprehend that. Motherhood isn’t what I thought it would be when I was growing up - when I longed to be a mum myself. There’s so much I love, agonise, stress, adore, cry, grieve and laugh about during this ride which takes me by surprise nearly every day. Even though I can without a doubt share so many common ...experiences, feelings and stories with other mums about motherhood we are also all running our own unique paths to be the best examples to our kids as well as living up to our own expectations as to what type of mother we should be. It’s a battle some days/weeks I tell ya. Agreed?

15.01.2022 Howdy! It’s moi. I thought it was about time I jumped on and showed my face and share a little bit about myself so you can kinda get to know the person behind the camera/Instagram... So, I’m Pip (short for Pippa not Phillipa). Born in Miles and grew up on the Gold Coast for my early years of childhood then moved to Brisbane around 8 years old where I stayed until my late 20’s. Met my husband at a pub (isn’t that where all the classic love stories begin?) and then we move...d out to Texas.... I love food. Eating out at restaurants is one of my favourite things to do. I don’t get to do it that often obviously because of where we live, but when I get the chance to, I’m as happy as a pig in mud. My favourite smells are rain on the road and a good ol’ fashioned BBQ. Can’t beat that snags and onion aroma I traveled overseas for the first time EVER last year to Greece for my 40th birthday (yes, late to the game I know). I was warned I would catch the travel bug which I did... Now Italy and Cuba are sitting high on my ‘to do’ travel list. I have an indoor plant obsession - currently 51 are strewn throughout our home and 34 of those are in the one room #junglevibes #husbandhatesit I don’t really like talking about myself so I’m not even sure this is of any interest to you.... so maybe if you’ve got a question then just ask me instead! Pip x by @ange_mcmasterphotograpy who snapped this after I’d wrapped up a recent shoot at the studio of @kowenart - do I look delirious?

14.01.2022 For a long time I offered digital only packages. Which was great. It was all I ever thought I needed to offer and all that I thought you guys needed. After I delivered the digital photos from a session I would then recommend who my client should use for printing and then hope to God that they actually DID print the photos. I realised after a while that this just wasn’t happening... Which is why I recently changed my packages from ‘digital only’ to digital + prints. I want yo...u guys to have tangible evidence of our time together. And that’s not for my own sake - it’s purely to ensure that you are passing on photos from your generation to the next. There’s going to be a HUGE gap of unprinted photos from your families story from the last 15-20 years give or take, because once digital photography became a thing, people stopped printing. Everyone just hurried to upload their fave images to Facebook for everyone to see and comment on - and that’s it. That’s where they’ve stayed. I’m here to make SURE your photos are printed. That’s why ALL of my packages include not only digital files but physical, textured and nostalgic prints for you and your family to enjoy for years and years to come. Now that’s definitely something to smile about. Do you want your future grandkids to know your face ? I know mine will. #canonaustralia #australia #therealdealphotography #printyourphotos #ruralfamily #australianfamilyphotographer #macedonranges #countrylife #ruralaustralia #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotographer #blackandwhiteportrait #huntervalley

13.01.2022 86 year old Ken sorting the weaners. While I was photographing Ken he demonstrated and explained to me how he gently talks to these young calves to ensure they feel safe, calm and respected. This whole process ran like a well oiled machine... It was a pleasure to witness. These are the photos that will be cherished for years to come. Ken is a huge part of this families history. He has no doubt passed his generational expertise onto his son who in turn is passing this same k...nowledge onto to his own children. These are the photos that need to be handed on to keep people like Ken’s legacy alive. #cattle #outback #outbackaustralia #australianfamilyphotographer #graziher #canonaustralia #australia #therealdealphotography #countrystyle #countrystyleloves #australianfamilyphotographer #farmingfamily #australianfarmers #ruralaustralia #countrylife #ruralfamily

11.01.2022 I’m very much enjoying the break from work and just photographing the little things with no pressure attached. I’ll be posting more of this kinda stuff on my other page if you’re interested @thereal_chronicles #australia #canonaustralia #therealdealphotography #seqldcountry #countrykids #queensland #abcmyphoto #aussiekids #countrylife #blackandwhite #magicofchildhood #thefamilynarrative #illuminateclasses #toowoombaregion #countryliving #toowoombaphotographer #ruralaustralia #australianfamilyphotographer #seqld #childhoodunplugged #countryaustralia #blackandwhiteportrait #thisisqueensland

08.01.2022 Just going over old photos and realizing how big my girls are. They’ve accomplished some great things this year and I’m so proud of them.

08.01.2022 I’m back online answering emails and DM’s a couple of days earlier than planned as this ankle has me sitting around A LOT. I’m going to brave the pain and go ahead with tomorrow and Mondays shoots as I really can’t reschedule but I think I will be able to bear weight by then. Thanks everyone for your well wishes So down to business - weekends for 2021 are slowly filling which is a crazy thing to say. Just before I went on Xmas holidays I had an influx of enquiries for 2...021 and I gave out a range of weekend dates for what remains for the year. In saying that, if you’re interested in family photos with me this year, you will need to get on it as January-June is booked out and I have only a couple of weekends left in the following months: July August October November Send me an email via the contact page on my website (link in bio) if you want more info and I can give you specific dates. Week days are still an option too and they also involve a special rate Please tag anyone who might want to see this as I’d hate for them to miss out on another year (thanks Covid) of documenting their family! #australia #graziher #canonaustralia #therealdealphotography #countrystyle #countrystyleloves #ruralfamily #seqldcountry #countrykids #farmingfamily #queensland #abcmyphoto #aussiekids #countrylife #blackandwhite #magicofchildhood #thefamilynarrative #illuminateclasses #toowoombaregion #countryliving #toowoombaphotographer #ruralaustralia #goondiwindiregion #australianfamilyphotographer #seqld #countryaustralia #familyphotographer #blackandwhiteportrait #thisisqueensland

07.01.2022 SESSION OPENING... I’ve sadly had to postpone another interstate shoot due to border closures which means I have an available session for QLD families only. Saturday 28th November.... Please contact me via the link in my bio to enquire or book this date. Pip x

05.01.2022 Who was the wombat who said Never work with kids or animals? #australia #graziher #canonaustralia #therealdealphotography #countrystyle #countrystyleloves #ruralfamily #seqldcountry #countrykids #farmingfamily #queensland #abcmyphoto #aussiekids #countrylife #blackandwhite #magicofchildhood #thefamilynarrative #illuminateclasses #toowoombaregion #countryliving #toowoombaphotographer #ruralaustralia #australianfamilyphotographer #seqld #childhoodunplugged #countryaustralia #blackandwhiteportrait #thisisqueensland

05.01.2022 At the start of January this year I started a 365 project. I’d been missing photographing my kids so this was the perfect solution. I took a photo every day up until July. Then I just stopped. Work was so busy and I was struggling to make time to not only capture but quickly edit any photos I took for this project. I’ve haven’t photographed anything outside of work since July and I’ve missed it so much. I’ve taken a couple of personal photos in the last few days and it’s bee...n weird really. Weird to actually be photographing them again. That’s the only word I can think of to describe it. Or maybe foreign...? I need to make more time for this again because they’re the whole reason I started a career in photography. They’re forever my inspiration. Anyone else fall off a personal project/365 wagon? Let’s get back on... My personal project is @thereal_chronicles - what’s yours? #canonaustralia #australia #therealdealphotography #ruralfamily #huntervalley #australianfamilyphotographer #macedonranges #countrylife #ruralaustralia #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotographer #blackandwhiteportrait

03.01.2022 2021 is gearing up to be a busy year. If you’ve been thinking about family photos please get in touch so we talk dates and I can get you booked you in! Please don’t put it off until you ‘lose weight’ or ‘find time’ because your children need and want to have photos with you in them! Hey I’ll even print the photos for you so you’re guaranteed a tangible memory that you can hold in your hands, hang on your wall and be passed onto your grandkids one day. You won’t regret it. Yo...ur kids will thank you one day for these photos... #australia #graziher #canonaustralia #therealdealphotography #countrystyle #countrystyleloves #ruralfamily #seqldcountry #countrykids #farmingfamily #queensland #abcmyphoto #aussiekids #countrylife #blackandwhite #magicofchildhood #thefamilynarrative #illuminateclasses #toowoombaregion #countryliving #toowoombaphotographer #ruralaustralia #australianfamilyphotographer #seqld #childhoodunplugged #countryaustralia #blackandwhiteportrait #thisisqueensland

02.01.2022 Last shot of the session. Right on dusk.... There wasn’t much natural light left so I had to bump the ISO up on this to 1000. I used to be so scared of a higher ISO for the fear of bringing grain into my images but now days I crank that ISO (when needed) and don’t even hesitate. A pretty slow shutter speed of 1/125 was used to allow more light in but making sure I didn’t shoot too slow and get unintentional blur.... Aperture was f/2.5 but I usually shoot around f/1.8 to get that really blurry back ground that I love. Do you have a favourite aperture you use for your photos? #canonaustralia #australia #therealdealphotography #wattlewomen #graziher #australianfamilyphotographer #macedonranges #countrylife #ruralaustralia #portrait #huntervalley #blackandwhitephotographer #blackandwhiteportrait #blackandwhite See more

01.01.2022 About time I blogged...!

01.01.2022 What a way to bring in the new year... A couple of days ago I rolled my ankle and heard a very loud crunch. X-rays today show nothing is broken but there’s ligament damage for sure. I’ve basically been horizontal for the last 48hrs and keeping my foot iced and elevated - and it looks like I’ll be this way for a couple of more days yet... I’m hoping with EVERYTHING in my being that I’ll be ok for my upcoming shoots on the 4th and 5th Jan so rest is my priority right now.... Thank you to everyone who has supported me this year and I’m wishing you all a healthy and wonderful 2021. Please tell me you’re doing something a lot more exciting than I am tonight
