Mother & Daughter Portrait Exhibition
Our beautiful Mothers & Daughters all came together on Thursday 11th May 2023 for a celebration at Palmer Sea Reef Resort. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the room as everyone saw the collection of portraits alongside the letters written by the Mums to their daughters. It was really beautiful to see everyone enjoying the exhibition and feeling the collective love.
As we took some time to view each Mother & Daughter’s Portraits on the big screen, I invited them up individually to read out their letters. This is when the tears really started to flow! It was truely a moving experience and exactly what I dreamt of when I started this project. The connection of each family and their love for each other was felt by everyone and as a group I feel it was a really powerful experience to share this with each other.
A huge thank you to the lovely staff at Palmer Sea Reef for making our night amazing. Everything from setting up, to welcoming guests, serving the most beautiful platters and overseeing everything to make sure we had the perfect night.
The night really was about celebrating the experience and each other - so I don’t have many photos to show as that wasn’t my priority, however I have a few from the group added below.
The Mother & Daughter Portrait Collection Magazine is in print as we speak and due for arrival around the 27th June 2023 - giving us the opportunity to get all emotional again as everyone receives their copy in print.
Here is our beautiful magazine. I am so proud of all the Mums & Daughters for creating such a beautiful collection of portraits.

Feathers & Fur (Pets & Us) Legacy Portrait Print Project
GUS
Gus celebrates his 12 week milestone with Bloom & Zoom Studio, capturing this special time with a fun photoshoot. Gus will be appearing in the first edition of FEATHERS & FUR (PETS & US) Legacy Portrait Project Collection.
Gus is a charming little man who has just reached his 12 week milestone!
Gus is a cheeky, fun loving and very snuggly little pup who totally rocked his first portrait sitting. Gus will be back in the studio to have some more snaps taken with his owner Rach, as part of the Feathers & Fur Pets & Us Legacy Portrait Collection.
A selection of images from Gus’s portrait collection is below for you to enjoy.
Feathers and Fur project explores the bond between pets and their owners. Our feathered and furry friends who make our home complete. Capturing this bond between our pets and us is close to my heart. This collection will be a heartwarming tribute to the love our animals give us and provide us the opportunity to share this love by supporting our local animal rescue and boarding facility Paws and Claws. All portraits will be collated to publish in Bloom & Zoom’s first edition of Feathers & Fur Magazine and on public exhibit as a collection. This exhibition and publication is an opportunity to celebrate, share and reflect on the memories captured. Part of the project is to write a letter to your pet. What would you tell them? If you could sit down just that one time and have a chat with your pet, what would you say?

Mother & Daughter Legacy Project 2022
Cleo
Celebrating her 8th birthday with her Mother and Grandmother for their Mother & Daughter Legacy Portrait Photoshoot
Cleo is my studio’s first Mother & Daughter Legacy Portrait Project STAR. What an amazing little girl she is and I was absolutely honoured to have her and her family trust in me to provide a memorable experience for Cleo’s birthday, and capture their Legacy Portraits.
Cleo had a beautiful day in the studio, celebrating her 8th Birthday with her Mother and Grandmother.
After a hair and makeup makeover for everyone, the pretty dresses came out, the lights went on and the camera started clicking.
The most enjoyable part for me facilitating this experience is watching as people start to relax, laugh and bond, as they take time out for themselves from the outside world. The part I love the most is when the girls start twirling around when they put their dress on and look in the mirror with wonder at how magical they are.
The portraits captured during this time are just beautiful and so valuable.
There is a buzz of positive energy that fills the space during the session that lasts well beyond when we finish.
It truly is a wonderful experience.
Portraits from this photoshoot will be displayed late 2022 at Bloom & Zoom’s Mother & Daughter Portrait Legacy Exhibition (public exhibition), alongside a heartfelt letter written to Cleo from her Mother.
