Gypsy Falls, Celebrating You!

I am always on the look out for stunning locations for sessions and the moment I saw Gypsy Falls Retreat in Lorne I knew it would be ideal for an upcoming ‘Celebrate You’ session for a small group of friends.

Secluded yet within 30kms of Port Macquarie, the beautiful recently renovated bungalows at Gypsy Falls are an adult-only luxury escape.

I knew Gypsy Falls would be perfect, not only because of its seclusion, gorgeous decor and close proximity to a waterfall, but because it had a roll top bath. This may seem like an unusual request for a photo shoot, but I love to deliver my clients vision and this vision included a floral milk bath.

Stunning!

Read on to see a couple of photos from the ‘Celebrate You’ session…

Now, you may be asking what a ‘Celebrate You’ session is all about. Think Boudoir but ultra feminine, classic and fun, these sessions are perfect solo or with a girl friend or two and can be held at home or on location. Before each session I like to gather a mood board, usually on Pinterest, from my clients so I know exactly what their vision is which we can then incorporate into their session.

Our day actually started before Gypsy Falls, with the amazing Leah at Eight Lane Beauty in Laurieton.

Leah is a fabulous make up artist (& does an incredible facial too!) and made my clients look and feel amazing prior to our session getting underway, along with supplying coffee and delicious treats from Grounded. Yum!

A quick drive up to Gypsy Falls and our session was underway. We maximised our stunning surroundings and used various spots within the bungalow, from the classic bedroom to the balcony and finally a milk bath in the stunning roll top bath with incredible views.

Take a look at some of these images which my stunning clients have given me permission to share.

Our day was paused for a delicious grazing box from Port Macquarie based Natural Vibez and then we took a ten minute walk down to the waterfall on the property to complete our session.

My role is to document, with gentle guidance here and there, and ensure we capture the best from your session. I am so proud of the gorgeous galleries each of the three beautiful ladies received. I know our day definitely delivered on the ‘celebration’ and left them all, us all, with memories to treasure.

It was lovely to arrange such a beautiful day but it goes without saying that you ‘Celebrate You’ session can be held in your home..no bells and whistles necessary! My aim is to create a relaxed, fun experience which you will treasure, whatever your reason for having your shoot.

Personal Branding with added SUNSHINE

If you haven’t seen Jen and her incredibly aptly named business ‘Rays of Sunshine’ then you’re missing out.

Jen makes beautiful wearable art with intricate details, beautiful colours and a lot of love and care. From earrings, or ear candy as Jen says, to hair barrettes and so much more - even custom designs.

I first found Jen through her insta reels - a must watch, just trust me, and we got chatting, met for a coffee and had a good old conversation about updating Jen’s personal branding photos.

I know updating your photos can be forever on the ‘to-do’ list, we have so much to do as business owners that taking some time with a photographer can seem like time we just don’t have.

Having photos of you, and not just your face, but your product/service, your workspace or even your favourite coffee spot, help to make you relatable to your audience.

It means that when someone visits your website or socials they can see you, with beautiful, clear and fresh photos.

In reality you may think booking a branding session means scheduling a whole day out of your diary. But it can take as little as an hour and I looove making the process as simple as possible for you.

So please stop putting it off, lets get you booked in today.
