Once upon a time, on a Saturday night, you'd have caught me in heels and a short skirt walking into The Mint or Paramount in Perth City (are they even still a thing??).
These days, my idea of a perfect Saturday night is getting to tuck my 4 year old and 1 year old sons into bed with a book and laying with them until they drift off, then watching a movie with my fiance who will rub my feet...but only if I wear socks.
Over the past 4.5 years, I have navigated all the weird, wonderful and "what's that??" moments of pregnancy, becoming a new mum, pregnancy loss and becoming a mum of two with our rainbow baby.
I have loved my pregnant body and hated my postpartum body. I've been way too harsh on the photos of myself, freshly post-partum, holding my newborn, thinking I look terrible. When I now know that couldn't be further from the truth.
I am now truly where I am meant to be and my photography is the cherry on top of the delicious Sundae of my life.
HI! I'M MIRANDA
1. I used to be a travel agent and travelled to too many cities to count throughout my 20's!
2. I am an avid podcast listener. I will choose a podcast over music 90% of the time.
3. Gym and pilates are my sanity. Being on top of my health makes me feel more in control and able to handle whatever the day throws at me.
4. Pre-kids, I used to love Winter days on the couch, heating on and watching TV. Now, give me Summer! Get me and the kids out the house before we all go stir crazy!
5. I love psychology. I enjoy reading about how our minds work and especially how children's brains develop and grow.
5 FUN FACTS ABOUT ME
Having studied Photography as my second major at University some 12 years ago now, I found I didn't have that 'spark', so I put down my camera for 8 years. I loved the technical side and the execution, but turns out you need more than just 'knowledge' to create magical photos. You need passion. And becoming a mother made me realise...my passion is families and children.
A passion that has me pulling over somewhere on the way home from a session and scrolling through the images because I just can't wait to see them.
