Headshots for Anthony – Toowoomba Singer Launching His First Album

Image
 Last week, I had the pleasure of photographing Anthony , a talented singer from Toowoomba who is about to release his debut album. While most of my time is spent capturing weddings and engagement sessions in Toowoomba , I also collaborate with local creatives to produce striking portraits that tell their unique stories. Anthony wanted headshots that reflected not just his music, but his personality – confident, warm, and genuine. We kept the shoot relaxed and natural, letting his easy-going nature shine through. These portraits will be perfect for his album launch, press releases, and promotional campaigns. For couples planning their wedding, incorporating live music from local talent like Anthony can transform a reception into something truly unforgettable. As a wedding photographer in Toowoomba , I love capturing both the moments on the dance floor and the musicians who bring them to life. If you’re looking for professional headshots or creative wedding photography in T...

Engagement Session at a Seven-Generation Jandowae Farm

Image
  A Love Story Rooted in Family and Country There’s something special about celebrating love on a property steeped in history. Jake and Evie chose to capture their engagement at a family farm in Jandowae , a property owned by the same family for seven generations . Nestled roughly an hour and a half from Toowoomba, the farm’s rolling paddocks, rustic barns and weathered fences provided a genuine country backdrop for their session. Jake and Evie are a lively, fun-loving couple, and they wanted a setting that reflected that spirit. As we wandered through fields of long grass and under towering gum trees, the couple’s laughter echoed across the hills. From the moment they kicked off their boots and danced in the golden afternoon light to playful moments with the farm’s resident animals, their easygoing nature was evident in every frame. Capturing Candid Moments on a Working Farm The farm, which has been lovingly maintained by the same family for over 100 years, offered more than j...
