Hi I’m Sue
I know what it’s like, to feel like time is literally zooming by faster than you can keep up with. The days are filled with survival - work, school, extracurricular activities – the next thing you know it’s been a year and when did your baby stop reaching for you to carry everywhere?
Time goes fast. My children are growing up so quickly, past the stage of constantly needing their mama and man, sometimes I miss it. It’s a wild ride those first few years and it feels constant and exhausting and overwhelming, and sometimes it’s hard to be present and truly take in the moment.
It’s a bag of mixed emotions, joy and excitement mixed with heartbreak and guilt (oh, the mum guilt). That is why I do what I do – take a moment from your busy lives to just be present and capture this exact season of your life. I capture those fleeting moments, the little ones that take your breath away. You’ll forever have images capturing your little ones as they are, during this wild season of your life. Hindsight is a magical thing isn’t it?
Being a mum to three of my own (not so little) kids, I know how to relate to your littlies, how to get them laughing and enjoying the session. I also know the scale of emotions little ones have, so you can be rest assured you are being taken care of by a fellow mama who has been through all the ups and downs of toddlerdom. It’s a rollercoaster, and no tantrum will stop us from getting some special images.
I am a lover of the sun, the sea, nature and belly laughs that make your cheeks hurt. My family and friends are everything to me, when I’m not photographing, you’ll find me adventuring with them (or taking them to various activities). The ideal weekend for me is hanging at home by the pool with a drink in hand, catching up with friends, or escaping Sydney and camping with my family.
I want you to have memories of your babies littleness – because soon enough they will have flown the coop and all you’ll have left is the memories in your heart – and the memories on your walls.
What to expect from Sue
Sessions with me are relaxed, fun and filled with joy. We play games, be silly with the kids and by the end of the session we feel like we’ve just been hanging out with old friends. As a mum of three, I know what kids are like, so my goal is to get everyone relaxed and having a good time, and the beautiful, authentic images will follow. Zero pressure. Just hanging out with your loved ones, spending quality time connecting with them. I lightly guide you so you can relax in front of the camera. I’m with you every step of the way, from booking through to gallery delivery (and I hope many more sessions to come!).
