If you love dreamy flower fields as much as I do, then you must visit Elderflower Farm in Scenic Rim. Elderflower Farm is a family-owned boutique flower farm near Kalbar, where you can pick your own beautiful flowers and make a unique bouquet. It is only an hour away from Brisbane, meaning you can bring your kiddos and furbabies along too.
Amy has always wanted to do a photoshoot with her 17-year-old puppy, Noodle.
Noodle’s tail wagged as she planted a gentle kiss on his curly head, though perhaps with less vigour than he would have in years past. Eyes clouded with age, he could no longer see his human’s kind eyes and beautiful face, or hear her voice softly calling his name, but the depth of their relationship and 17 years of unconditional love that grows between owner and loyal canine were imprinted on his heart.
Even without his sight and the rapid loss of his hearing, he recognised Amy’s tender touch. There’s something profoundly beautiful about this session – it is so much more than just plain romance of a girl and her puppy. Even knowing that our loved ones and our relationships will someday perish, getting to cross paths with them for however brief or lengthy a time and bask in the light of whom they are is a blessing that can never be taken away from us.
Amy, thank you for trusting me to capture this bittersweet season of life, for showing me what unconditional love looks like as you cherish Noodle through the twilight years of his life.
Flowers will always be a huge part of my photography because I love using flowers to accentuate every woman’s beauty. There is a saying that goes like, “Women are like flowers. They should be treated gently, kindly and with affection. With the right care they blossom.” In my art world that is exactly what I want to convey; every girl is gorgeous as flowers regardless of their age, skin colour or size. Having a photoshoot is an investment in yourself where you can freeze your deepest, most cherished memories of you and your loved ones. Let’s chat about how we can craft your dreamy portrait session in the flowers!
If you do not wish to drive to Scenic Rim I have a list of other locations which may interest you:
