• Hello!

    My name is Katie, I am a photographer and I like to shoot:

    Weddings, portraits, pets, couples and kids.
    Mum's happy tears and toddler tantrums.
    Baby bathtime and puppy playtime.
    Kiddy feet and bridal shoes.
    Connection and emotion.
    Quirky and kitsch.
    Documentary style.
    Lifestyle.
    You.

    Have camera, will travel. But if you'd like a photographer closer to home, look here.

Ben + Byron: Married {Brisbane Wedding Photographer}

‘You’ll get mixed up, of course,

as you already know.

You’ll get mixed up

with many strange birds as you go.

So be sure when you step.

Step with care and great tact

and remember that Life’s

a Great Balancing Act.

Just never forget to be dexterous and deft.

And never mix up your right foot with your left.’

Ben and Byron’s wedding was a gorgeous family affair, with their beautiful littlies getting involved with the celebrating. Whilst it was a rather large wedding (around 170 guests, I think?) – Ben and Byron managed to make it seem comfy and cosy. In fact, both of them getting ready were the calmest wedding morning routines I’ve witnessed! The cute little Paddington Church was filled to the brim with smiling guests, happy to witness the love and the Queensland State Library reception was equal parts elegant and awesome. Thanks for having me along to document the day you guys – much love.

Bridget + Pnau

Bridget emailed me with a different enquiry to the ones I usually get – she asked for some updated headshots, as well as some images with a difference (featuring her Pug x Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) and used my self portraits as inspiration. I was sold! And both girls were not only gorgeous – but complete naturals in front of the camera. Thanks for making my job so easy, ladies!

Surfing Dogs: Noosa Festival Of Surfing {Noosa Photographer}

Every year, Noosa holds its Festival of Surfing and this year, I was actually around to watch the start of it – which involved surfing dogs. Yes, dogs on surfboards. I’ll admit I was a little bit skeptical when I first heard about it, do the dogs really enjoy themselves? Is it just a gimmick to draw the crowd? Well, (a) I do think they enjoy themselves (even if their expressions indicate otherwise!), because they were eager to get out into the water and (b) the festival really doesn’t need help attracting a crowd, as it is always packed. As a dog lover, I was super keen to check it out, so I headed down to Main Beach at Noosa Heads.

It was awesome. The crowd was huge and cheering the dogs on, they were treated like celebrities when they got out of the water. Dr Harry and Layne Beachley were there with lots of cameras around them. It was very cool to see everyone so excited about the event – as well as seeing dogs and their owners out and about and enjoying themselves.

March 11, 2013 - 8:40 pm

Maria Lohan - Pinto the dog is being carried over the rocks by his trusty owner! I think Huggsley was the winner.

March 11, 2013 - 10:31 pm

caroline bowen - Now that has brought a smile to my face…what fun!

Dave + Sarah: Married {Sunshine Coast Wedding Photographer}

‘Congratulations! Today is your day. You’re off to Great Places! You’re off and away…’

- Oh The Places You’ll Go!, Dr Seuss

Dave and Sarah’s super relaxed wedding day on the family’s Kenilworth property was so laid-back it’s hard to imagine that it was an event organised within a few weeks. It was the best kind of wedding – comfortable and happy, like a favourite fuzzy jumper, but also surrounded in beauty, kindly provided by nature. Let’s call it country glam. Horses crashed the ceremony, you guys – horses! It was awesome.

Dave and Sarah – thank you for welcoming with open arms – you made my job easy.
