Family Portraits: Centennial Park with crazy kids

Family Portraits: Centennial Park with crazy kids

26th August, 2014 By Israel

  A few years back we first met Nita and Damien’s family, and shot some great family portraits at Coogee Beach with their son when he was about a year old. I recently had the chance to catch up with them at Centennial Park for some updated family portraits with their one-year-old daughter! I could honestly say this was […]

Rilien’s Second Operation on his Toes

Rilien’s Second Operation on his Toes

2nd July, 2014 By Israel

  Some of you may remember Rilien had an operation on his funky big toes at about 10 months old. The documentary posts are here (part 1) and here (part 2). I just re-visited them myself, and I’m so grateful I shot those images of our little guy during the process of his first surgery. […]

Family Portraits: Sporty Kids at Centennial Park

26th June, 2014 By Israel

Liz wanted her family portraits to be taken in Centennial Park. I met her for the first time when I turned up to meet her at the start of the shoot, which is what usually happens. We often speak once or twice with each family before the shoot, but the first in-person meeting is at […]

The only rock I know

The only rock I know

15th June, 2014 By Israel

“The only rock I know that stays steady, the only institution I know that works, is the family.” – Lee Iacocca Most of you already know how I feel about both my own family, and the broader institution of family. It is, unequivocally, my rock. It gives me life, strength, humour, challenge, growth, peace, love… LOVE. […]

Updated Family Portraits at Centennial Park

Updated Family Portraits at Centennial Park

26th May, 2014 By Israel

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I met with Michelle and her family for some family portraits at Coogee Beach. Her kids were going into Kindergarten and Year 4 at school, and the shoot was great fun. Michelle and I kept in touch on and off over the years, even training at the same […]

Beach Family Photos at Shelly Beach Manly

Beach Family Photos at Shelly Beach Manly

1st May, 2014 By Israel

I’m very fortunate that I get to shoot beach family photos for a lot of my clients. I feel most at home, most myself, when I am on the beach – working or not. For my clients, it seems that if they choose to have beach family photos then we’ll instantly have lots in common, and […]

Cloudy With A Chance of Family Portraits

Cloudy With A Chance of Family Portraits

15th April, 2014 By Israel

  Asako and her family had driven from Avalon, up at the northern end of Sydney’s Northern Beaches, to Bronte – about an hour’s drive away in the Eastern Suburbs – for their family portraits. I was a bit worried about the weather, and if we’d get rained out or not, given how far Asako […]

Family Portraits at Sydney Park

Family Portraits at Sydney Park

8th April, 2014 By Israel

For some reason, clouds followed me when I shot these family portraits at Sydney Park with Nicole and Jason. I photographed their wedding back in 2009, they’ve since added two lovely boys to their family. What’s even more unusual is that the clouds followed us on their wedding day too – we only narrowly escaped rain […]

Extended Family Portraits: Marti’s family at home
