LIFEBLOOD SESSIONS

The indispensable factor or influence that gives something its strength and vitality.

Together in your home, backyard, favourite park, regular coffee shop or local beach.

The space where you and your person/partner/ family can just be is the best place for us to take some frames. It’s the beauty in the day-to-day, the ordinary, the simplicity of just being together and documenting this particular time of your lives. I love beautiful breastfeeding mamas, milk drunk sleepy babies, turbo pets, doting parents with wild kidlets hooning around and the shift of dynamics when those kidlets are all of a sudden teenagers or fellow adults humans.

Life is wild and fleeting.

How long? I usually say an hour, but if it’s a little more - that’s ok. A babes gotta feed when a babes gotta feed.

What to wear? You do you. Whatever you’re comfortable wearing and moving in.

The vibe: I tend to swing between documentary and a few honest portraits for these sessions. Real-time reactions, unguarded emotions and authentic connection. There is no rules.

The time: Once we’ve decided on a location, we can tee up a time that suits [ later afternoons/eve are always best for light, but morning sometimes work better for smaller babes… ] and from there, you and the family can just roll in and we go from there.

The number of images you receive differs from shoot to shoot. But it’s usually between 30-50. A mix of black and white and coloured frames. They’re all high resolution, so you can print and frame yourself. Oh, and film - I often document these sessions on 35mm. If this feels right, you let me know.
