I was lucky enough to be asked to take part in a styled bridal shoot on Sunday at the most stunning Bed & Breakfast Ana Mandara right here in Port Macquarie.

Ana Mandara is not only the most beautiful place to stay if your needing somewhere to get ready on your wedding day or just a quick night away together but they are also offering a more imitate ceremony and cocktail reception venue and who wouldn't want the amazing water views in the back ground of their ceremony and the gorgeous sunsets.

A huge thank-you goes out to all the local businesses and models that took part in this styled shoot and a huge thank-you to the lovely Kristy from Big Fat Kiss Events for putting it all together.

I know I've been  pretty slack with my blogging lately so I am trying to catch up.

I had the chance to photograph the stunning and beautiful Ellen for a model portfolio (whom I've know since she was 6) and wow didn't this lady know how too rock her session and has been the only adult I've had so far that has wanted to use the kids little prop pink lounge and she pulled it off in style.

I love Ellen's style and personality and she truly knows how to rock any pose I threw at her.

Thank you to my wonderful professional hair & makeup team Taneka & Erin for another awesome job.

I was lucky enough to be asked to take some promotional images for this lovely, amazing local tattoo artist Kristy.

Kristy came into the session with her own strong fun ideas and instead of my bright colors she wanted a darker feel too her images, I am pretty sure we cover that, I did throw a little bit of color in.

Kristy is based on the Mid North Coast of NSW,  you can find her doing the most amazing pieces of art on people's bodies at Wildfire in Port Macquarie but be sure too book quick as she books out.

Thank-you for allowing me too shoot this fun session and I hope you all enjoy them.
