The Bates family welcome Baby Harvey


I met these two beautiful people a few years ago when they booked me to photograph their wedding. Little pup Oscar was their only baby then and a big part of the wedding day so when they contacted me to capture this next stage in their lives we just had to include him.

Kilcunda is dog friendly and the perfect location offering both beach and stunning cliff top vistas. Jesse and Meagan were so looking forward to welcoming their baby boy and Oscar once again stole the show.

Just a month later I got the call to say little Harvey had arrived and I couldn't wait to meet him. This time heading to their home for the newborn shoot so I could capture these memories. Little Harvey was a dream and I'm not sure who is more besotted with him doggy brother Oscar or his parents. This little boy is going to have a whole lot of love surrounding him.
