A photograph is more than just a nice picture - it's a moment, a memory, a feeling frozen in time.

Through my photography, I aim to see people as they truly are and reflect that back to them in the most beautiful way.

Whether it's a look between two people in love, the pride of a business owner following their passion, or the eruption of laughter when someone loses all sense of formality... it's a pleasure to capture it all.

Derek made the photo takes during our wedding day so relaxed and the pictures are wonderful, natural and fun

Thank you to the terrific Derek Lamb , launching a hashtag#photography business and helping me with a profile pic update!

And one that’s slightly more contemporary too.

Much as I would love to cling on to the one of a ten years’ younger me, it felt like time for an update. 🤣

I can highly recommend Derek for his expertise and relaxed, friendly style.

Family photographs can be quite stressful - the kids aren't listening, or it feels too artificial, or a hundred other things.

But Derek found a great location and put the children at ease right away, so the photoshoot seemed like a fun and natural process.

We are very happy with the family  pictures we got as a result.


HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

If you’re looking for a new professional headshot/profile pic or an event you’d like photographed, I highly recommend Derek


Julie

Our wedding was relaxed and intimate. We wanted our pictures to reflect that and  Derek understood our vision exactly.  The photo album he produced for us is a treasure.


HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Getting family photos done is never easy, but Derek made the whole experience effortless and fun, even winning the kids over with footy jokes to get those big crocodile smiles. 

The memories he captured are truly priceless, and we are so grateful to have such special, high quality photos.


COULDN'T RECOMMEND MORE!


Laura

We had such a wonderful experience working with Derek. He was incredibly patient and engaging with our toddler, making the whole situation fun and relaxed. He managed to capture our son's personality perfectly - smiles, giggles. All of the photographs turned out beautifully and we'll treasure them forever.

Can't recommend Derek enough to anyone with little ones.


HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
