23.01.2022 Take pride in how far you've come, and Have faith in how far you can go I love this quote! ... Filled with so much self doubt, all I need to do is take a step back, and realise how far I have come. Its been an honour to be a photographer for many of my families from the very beginning. That gives me the biggest buzz!! I can't wait to see so many more past clients and share more "Then and Now"

20.01.2022 "Without the rain, there wouldn't be rainbows" Welcome to the world baby P.

19.01.2022 I Cried Actual Tears.... Do you sometimes get so caught up in the triumphs of others, that you cry tears of joy. Happy tears, becuase you are so darn happy for them.... I do.... All the time, and i'm not affraid to admit it Just these past few days, I have heard the news of 2 familys receiving their gifts from the heavens above, in the form of precious babies, both have very different circumstances, but I cried just the same. I can't even begin to imagine what the journey to parenthood looks like, or feels like for some mummas (and daddas), each day, praying for a miracle. The waiting... The patience... The determination... The praying. It paid off, and I could not be happier for them

17.01.2022 The woman standing between her little girls is my sister! She is my strength, my inspiration, my best friend and by gosh, she amazes me every single day, how she absolutely can succeed in life even when faced with adversity. I cry tears of pure joy for how proud I am of my baby sister, of how she shows up to the world, her community, her daughters, her friends and her family! ... My girl, you are destined for great things to come your way, there aren't enough words to describe how much i admire your strength and how proud i am of YOU!!! I love you with ALL my heart!!

16.01.2022 ***CLOSED*** . . .... . . .

16.01.2022 Don't be the green eyed monster...... Looking at where other like minded people/businesses are in their journey is not a bad thing, it simply shows you that you can have it too, if you put in the work. But there is no good in admiring others and being envious or jealous of them, especially if your not putting in the work yourself. I am setting a goal to show up more consistently, the way I see other IG accounts do, and engage with followers more. Because the reality is, be...ing envious or jealous of another account, or photographer is not helping me grow my tribe, or gain new customers, and thats what Im all about. I am open to tips and tricks to show up consistently on IG and on Facebook more easily HELP DM or share below This is yet another gem from listening to the Jasmin Star show, you know when you hear something and its like it was written just for you???

13.01.2022 Gratitude... . I am spending a few minutes everyday to think about 3 things that I am grateful for. Instead of coming from a place of entitlement, being too busy, or too greedy and realising there is already so much in my life that I am blessed with. . I could list a whole lot more, but here are the three things I am grateful for this week.... . Choices. I get to choose my destiny, my happiness, my moods, my attitude, how I show up for my kids, and my partner, my business, and my life. We literally seal our fate with the choices we make. I have been in relationships where I have had my rights, and my choices taken away from me, until I could take no more. Everyday we are blessed with the ability to decide so many things, and I am committed to making better choices. . Health. I must admit, some of the lifestyle choices I have made, in the past, that I am not proud of. BUT, in saying that, in the past year and a half, I have quit smoking completely and I barely drink alcohol at all. So this week I am taking a moment to look back on that. After I lost my mum to breast cancer, I swore that I would make a conscious effort to look after my health. Because the thought of death at 52 scared me, what I would not be around to see, scared me, the grand children I would never get to meet, scared me. But so much happened in the couple of years after mum died that I lost sight of that and how important it was to me. I was on the path to becoming an alcoholic and I was smoking 20-30 cigarettes a day. Today, I am on the path to becoming more mentally strong and a healthier version of myself, not only for me, but so I can live a long and happy life for my partner, our kids and my friends and my family. . Love. To be loved, to feel love and to show love. I am blessed beyond words. . What are you grateful for this week? Drop an Emoji below to best describe what you are grateful for See more

13.01.2022 There are significant milestones, situations or events that have shaped who I am. Experience taught her Hurt raised her and Neither defined her.... I am proud of who I am, and how far I've come, but there were times when I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. Tag a friend... Drop me a shine the light for someone who needs it

11.01.2022 There is power that comes to women when they give birth. They don't ask for it, it simply invades them. Accumulates like clouds on the horizon and passes through, carrying the child with it. ~ Sheryl Feldman

11.01.2022 I have had such an overwhelming response to my post yesterday, I am so glad, so many of you still remember me thank you for sticking around I will be having a huge clean out on my hard drive and computer, to get ready to re-launch in January 2020.

You'll have until 24th Dec to get these files at this price, afterwards they will be archived, and not for sale. Stay tuned for whats next x

09.01.2022 Facing the feeling of Overwhelm.... . I never anticipated the overwhelm I would face, when I decided to start my photography business after 5 years away from the camera. . I realise now that any action is ok, no matter how small.... . After listening to my favourite podcast @jasminestar on this topic, I feel like I can give myself some grace, if I just take a look at what I have accomplished in the past 90 days. . Here goes: In the past 90 days I have managed to take my somewhat spur of the moment idea to start back up and arranged 4 shoots, hired a beautiful gown to shoot a maternity session, spent countless hours pouring my heart into every image that I edited, needed to purchase a new computer, figure out how to reload all of my photography software, tune into podcasts, online tutorials, learn whats new with social media, learn whats new with editing, try and develop a unique style, re-brand, re-market, sent out images on USB to around 12 past clients, taken some messy action towards building a new price list and website, started up a brand new Instagram Page with ZERO followers (WELCOME all 74 of you), we had, Christmas, new years, 4 birthdays, back to school, plus I have a part time job, where I work 30 hours a week, then theres sport and mum life..... Whew, I'm sweating just thinking about what the past 90 days held for us. . I did that..... All of it, and for that I am proud of myself. There is still so much to do, and I thank you all for hanging around to see whats yet to come. I get this little fire inside when I get to work on building this little biz. But facing off with reality is sometimes scary, daunting and overwhelming. It's not about finding time, it MAKING time!!! . How do you deal with the feeling of being overwhelmed? Comment below, I would love to hear your tips See more

09.01.2022 I missed my website launch date.... . So, I had a date in mind to launch my new website, and that date has been and gone. That date was 20.02.2020 .... I missed my own launch and you want to know why? . Because I didnt spend the time to carefully plan out what steps I needed to take to make it happen. . Am I disappointed? You bet I am . But I can learn from this feeling of disappointment and do something about it. . Set realistic goals, then a set of actionable steps required to achieve the goals. . Sounds easy right?? . Ok lets get to it, and work out a new launch date . Has anyone else out here learning all the lessons the hard way... Surely Im not alone See more

09.01.2022 Where is your happy place? When you need to relax, recharge, or simply get away, where do you go? For some, its a garden full of living, blooming, growing things. For me, its the beach. It's sand between my toes, its salt in my hair and the warmth on my skin. ... I go there when the four walls feel like they are caving in, stay for a few minutes, sometimes hours and I always leave feeling energised and recharged. Tell me about your happy place

I am learning and navigating my way around and so much has changed since I was here last. Who's with me?

04.01.2022 They stand together in the sand and look out to the open sea. Their eyes caught a movement far out in the waves. Dolphins or sharks.... which will it be?

03.01.2022 This little bubba is going to be a surprise baby Not long now, until this little one makes his/her journey earthside!! And I cant wait to meet this band new little life!!!... The gender for my first pregnancy was a surprise, and the second wasn't....and I wouldn't change a thing!! Did you: A) find out the gender and announce it to the world, or B) find out the gender, but keep it a secret, or C) have a surprise??? Each way has it's own beautiful merits/reasons!! Comment below A B or C

03.01.2022 Is there anything you are a bit insecure about? If youre anything like me, something immediately came to mind! For me, its that Im intensely shy maybe even an introvert. I have struggled to feel comfortable in social situations(even online) all my life, but am working every day to turn things around. Today, I was reminded that the Apple didn't fall far from the tree and my darling daughter is just like me in so many ways. Its something that we are both continually workin...g on. She teaches me more about myself than I could have ever imagined, and we draw strength from each other. What are you insecure about, and how do you overcome it? Regardless of what it is, know this friend: you are enough!

02.01.2022 This baby was a surprise baby..... well guess what??? . It's a boy!!!! . Bianca, Sam and Hunter (who is now a BIG BROTHER) Welcomed Lincoln Josepf Pisani to the world on the 17th February 2020 at 9:45am, weighing 7 pound 9.... . I can't wait to meet Lincoln, who is going to be the star of my very first In-home-newborn session, I can't wait. . Did you know that included in the price of your maternity session, is an in-home newborn session once baby arrives? Yep!! So, there is no need to leave the house, in those first few precious days. I will come to you and photograph you and your new little addition, in the comfort of your own home!! How cool is that? See more
