Kooroomba Vineyard and Lavender Fields Photos

Posted on September 11, 2024September 11, 2024

I had been wanting to get some Kooroomba Lavender fields photos for ages so when Vidur contacted me to photograph his proposal, I jumped at the chance! I had visited Kooroomba a few months earlier for an amazing lunch and wine tasting but had never photographed there before. Now I have!

“Hi Andy, Thank you soooo much for yesterday!!! The entire proposal went very well and Bronte was surprised! We absolutely loved the engagement photo shoot, you made it so comfortable and easy for us. The entire experience was so wonderful and exceeded my expectations! You are a legend! It honestly felt like we had known you for a very long time.”

And wow! What a place! Kooroomba lavender fields and vineyards is a gorgeous spot for a wedding, or in this case; a proposal! It took James Bond type stealth between Vee and I to keep the proposal secret in the weeks building up to the event, but all went incredibly well! I was trying to hide amongst the lavender bushes as Vee got into position! I have never taken so many photos of bees in my life!

And the proposal was filled with emotion! There were tears on both sides, but she said yes!!!!

After the hugs and the selfies I went to say hello to Bronte and we started our romantic engagement photo shoot! We started in the roo-filled vineyard, and then got some awesome photos at Kooroomba’s unique wedding chapel! What an amazing place! The guys re-enacted the proposal and then we took a wander through the lavender.

As the sun got lower the light got better. I couldn’t stop snapping! Bronte’s red dress really shone in the late afternoon sun!

I loved getting some Kooroomba lavender fields photos. The backdrop is spectacular and the colour bursting from the lavender is amazing!

Beerwah Engagement Photos

Posted on September 5, 2024September 5, 2024

If you are reading this as you are recently engaged: congratulations! Hopefully you are looking for some photo inspo ideas for an engagement shoot? Well I would love to help out! I love Beerwah engagement photos and I have photographed around the Glasshouse Mountain area many times. Knowing the area well means I know the best, quietest and most hidden spots!

I met Leisl and Klae at a wedding recently and once Klae popped the question they called and asked if I would get some Beerwah engagement photos for them. Oh yeah! They are such an amazing, loved up couple and I couldn’t wait! Happily I knew the area well, but Leisl and Klae took a drive north to do some photo location spotting themselves. We started in Maleny then headed down the range to an area near Australia Zoo. We had the lanes to ourselves so were able to snap in peace without prying eyes!

Engagement Photo Shoot

As the afternoon light got better, we headed closer to the Glasshouse mountains and got in amongst the amazing pine trees that dot the region. The low afternoon light made for a perfect couples photo shoot as Leisl showed off her engagement bling!

The guys were brave enough to bush bash and get amongst it! The dirt paths around there are awesome for leading line photographs, but we wanted to get closer to the trees to capture that slowly setting sun filtering through. Golden hour indeed!

Engagement shoot prices start at $165 for a 25-minute shoot in the Redlands. But for more photos and more shooting time (and dare I say more fun!) you can opt for my 2-hour dedicated engagement shoot package. This gives 120-minutes of photography and around 60-80 edited high resolution digital images for $399! (Some locations may have a small travel fee, depending on location!)

If you would like to discuss options, call Andy on 0468 405225 or email andy@athousandmilesphotography.com.au

Congratulations!

Maternity and Newborn Photo Package

Posted on September 5, 2024September 5, 2024

A Maternity and Newborn Photography Package is the perfect way to welcome your new arrival. A maternity photo shoot is an amazing way to capture those glowing months. And a newborn photo shoot is an essential way to capture those early days when your baby is gorgeous, tiny, and new.

A Thousand Miles Photography have an amazing Maternity and Newborn Photo Package that includes:

A 30-minute maternity photo shoot at Wellington Point Reserve
This includes 15 edited high resolution digital images
A 2-hour newborn shoot at your own home
This shoot includes 30 – 40 edited high resolution digital images
All for $499 total!

Maternity Photos

Christel and Ben booked in the Maternity and Newborn Photo Package to celebrate the arrival of their son Nathan. They brought along Leah, their daughter for both shoots (families and fur babies are always welcome at our shoots!) and she was so excited about the arrival of her baby brother!

Maternity photo shoots can be done at any time, but I personally love late afternoon as the sun is setting. The light is low, and Wellington Point Reserve is one of the few places on Australia’s east coast that sees the sun set over water (ideal for baby bump silhouettes!) Christel and Ben chose the perfect day.

Newborn Photos

Newborn baby photos are usually taken in the first 2 weeks when Bub is still tiny and sleeps more! In truth newborn shoots can be done any time in the first 6 weeks, but by then your baby will have filled out and will be awake a little more! But they will also be learning to smile – so cute!

Since Covid, I have been doing newborn baby photo shoots exclusively at your own home. The success rate is so much higher than being in a studio! Parents are more relaxed, as is Baby. You don’t have to pack a bag only to forget nappies etc. I bring everything I need for the photos: baskets, blankets, wraps, lighting, so you just need a Baby and we are good to go!

You are welcome to do just a newborn shoot of course. These are still conducted in your own home and are just $399, which will include between 30 – 40 edited, high resolution digital images.

If you would like more information and would like to lock in a date, feel free to contact us!

Pet Photographer

Posted on May 29, 2024May 29, 2024

It isn’t often someone steals my heart but Rosie most certainly did! As a pet photographer I meet a lot of fur babies and love their unique charms and personalities! Rosie was just beautiful – so easy to photograph, so well behaved and such a loving and obedient puppy!

“They look fantastic, you got so many great ones of Rosie!! Really appreciate everything, you’ve been fantastic!” Jo

And so were her parents Jo and Jarrah! Jo had called a few weeks earlier wanting some pet photographs to capture Rosie before her surgery. I jumped at the chance! Every day is different for photographers and I love the chance for some weekend pet photography!

As with all of my family photography sessions, I get as many different combinations as possible. Pet photography is no different and I mixed up the combos early on! Rosie was an absolute gem in her solo photos, sitting on demand, staying when told to do so – as did her parents! On occasion 😉

We took the pet photography photos at Wellington Point Reserve. It is a great location with bay views, Moreton Bay figs and an open grassy area for Rosie to run around in. A pet photographer usually needs a degree of patience but not so with Rosie! She was a dream! And she even let me get some lovely couple photos of her Mum and Dad!

Our pet photography sessions start at $149 for a 30 minute shoot in the Redlands. To capture the unique personality of your fur babies, we would love to hear from you!

Mini Photo Shoots

Posted on May 15, 2024May 30, 2024

If you are looking for an affordable way to get a selection of amazing family photographs, our Mini Photo Shoots could be exactly what you are looking for! Lasting just 20 minutes (how kid-friendly is that?!), our mini photo sessions include 10 high resolution digital images without any compulsory print spend or added extras!

With the ever changing economy, I thought a budget-friendly option to photography would prove popular, and it really has! Mini Photo Sessions are here to stay!

The feedback has been amazing so I am going to make the mini shoots a regular thing! I will lock out a particular day every couple of months for a Mini Shoot Day, either in New Farm Park, or near me in Wellington Point Reserve!

Affordable Family Photography Brisbane

The shorter photo shoot time has been amazingly popular! Even the most restless of kids can stay still for 20 minutes! It has meant easier, more relaxed family photo sessions and without a hefty price tag! And that’s the best part – the Mini sessions at Wellington Point are only $99, and in New Farm Park they are $129! How good is that?

All of the family photographs on this page were taken at our mini photo shoots, so as you can see there is boundless option for photo combinations and locations.

As always, there are no restrictions to the number of people attending the shoot. A few things to remember:

Mini shoots last for 20 minutes and include 10 high resolution digital images
A non refundable deposit of $50 is required to confirm the booking. No shows or late arrivals will forfeit the deposit. The balance is due on the day.
Allow plenty of time for parking and delays! Mini shoots are time specific and late arrivals will eat into your shoot time!

You can check our next Mini Shoot Days on our Portrait Photography Page. Or you can email me at andy@athousandmilesphotography.com.au or call me on 0468 405225

I look forward to seeing you soon!
