Do I Travel to Brisbane?

Yes, I do! I happily travel to Brisbane for sessions, but with my family commitments, I try to stick within a maximum 1-hour drive from the Gold Coast. Travel fees apply for these sessions.

OUTDOOR

Option 1: The Beach (Gold Coast)

The beach never fails to create dreamy, light-filled portraits — barefoot, breezy, and beautiful!

Here are my go-to beaches for photoshoots:

  • The Spit – Wide open spaces and fewer crowds
  • Miami Beach – Gorgeous dunes and stunning light at sunset
  • Runway Bay - Flat grassy area with nice calm beach on the background
  • Currumbin Beach – Iconic rocks and ocean backdrops
  • Tugun Beach – Quiet and peaceful
  • Cabarita, NSW – Just across the border, perfect for that wild, natural vibe

Option 2: A European-style Look (Gold Coast)

If you love the feel of European streets and architecture, I recommend Carrara, QLD. It offers stone walls, staircases, and timeless charm that give a romantic, old-world feel to your ph

Option 3: Forest (Gold Coast)

For that cosy, earthy vibe, Pizzey Park (Miami, QLD) is my favourite forest location. Tall trees, filtered light — it’s like stepping into a storybook.

Jacaranda Season

Jacaranda season usually blooms from September to October, giving us around a one-month window to capture those beautiful purple-filled backdrops.


Sessions are held at Kingston Park, and there is no additional location or access fee.


It’s a short seasonal opportunity each year, perfect for family, maternity, couple or portrait sessions surrounded by dreamy jacaranda blooms.

Sunflower Season

Sunflower season usually happens around mid-summer and is only available for a short window of around two weeks each year. I announce session dates on my social media pages a few weeks in advance, so keep an eye out if you’d love to book one.


The sunflower farm is located near Jacobs Well. Please note that an additional farm access fee applies on top of your photography session, as this is charged by the property owners.

It’s a limited seasonal opportunity, but absolutely worth it for those beautiful golden sunflower-filled photos.
