This portrait session really, I mean really took Kelly and I for a ride. She showed me some water nymph inspo and suggested we head to Gardners Falls or Kondalilla on the Sunshine Coast one Sunday. Upon arrival to both places, the cars were parked way up the road and around the bend and it was pretty clear we weren’t going to get the space and privacy needed to feel safe shooting in a wet, white dress… if you know what I mean.

I dug deep into the recesses of my teenage mind to a spot I used to frequent in high school. All I remembered was that it was down a dirt road, with no signs and very close to a commune. With a little help from my Instagram friends I was able to narrow down the road name and somehow we found it!

It was still the haven I remember it being and Kelly was the perfect subject to be the floating fairy / water nymph she envisioned. Very grateful I’ve snagged her as a repeat client, she’s such a beauty.
