Over the years, I have been asked by families in Melbourne to come out with them to a wood or a garden to shoot a series of fun shots that capture a great family moment.

It's just what I like to see: people relaxing into natural poses in natural settings—as if I weren't there at all.

My approach? I shoot large photo files and then catalogue the images in a photo database, from which I am able to export images for families to use in various formats on various media (TVs, mobiles, PC screens).

The benefit: families can access images that are theirs to own and do with as they like—including sharing with extended family and friends. Images are provided in a range of formats for posting on Facebook, watching as slide shows on TV, or even dropping into a storyboard for printing and framing.

Each family will have its own needs and ideas. I am willing to listen and let you know what I think is possible.

Of course, tastes change over time. No matter! I keep the original unedited images in a catalogue, which allows me to re-style them for you in the future (to black and white, or as square prints for a specific frame, or as 16:9 images for a TV slide show).

Give me a call and we can discuss your specific ideas and requirements.
