Well one of the vital things that Brent has taught me is ALWAYS take your camera EVERYWHERE with you, well last night it paid off.
With such a busy day at the studio I said to my Hubby Jason, let’s have dinner at our local, Lakeside Tavern at Raymond Terrace. As we sat and enjoyed our meal there was an unusual buzz with the patrons for a Thursday night. Word soon spread the Julia Gillard was coming to meet and greet.
The flurry of media heralded her arrival, Julia spent the next hour chatting with everyone, taking time to talk to children and even drawing the fishing club’s meat raffle.
I personally had a little chat with her suggestion if she ever needed and an outstanding photograher, Brent Mail is the man that she needs to come and visit us at Capture Imaging. I found Julia to be delightful, very genuine and down to earth. I even got a great shot of Julia, with beer in hand and Hubby 
Hope you enjoy these images and remember to carry your camera with you EVERYWHERE !!!
Do you think Julia needs a glamour makeover? Please comment below.

I love Noosa. This must be one of the most picturesque places in Australia. The weather has been perfect in Queensland since I flew here a few days ago, warm and not a cloud in the sky…. until today. I have been soaking up the sun and warmth all week.
Got up early, went for a run around the national park to take in all that Noosa has to offer. I ended up running (well, walking most of the time) with other early-rises, along the beach, boardwalk, footpath….straight to the coffee shop. With the relatively warm weather, there were people out having brekkie and relaxing at the outdoor cafe’s and coffee shops on Hastings Street. You know what they say….”when in rome, do as the romans do” so I had to give one or two of them a try….glad I did:)
Noosa and the surrounding area has been photographed to death, there are postcards everywhere with beautiful images of this area. I wanted to show this place in a different light, using my own style – slow shutter/moody images, most of them shot as black and white in camera. I have included one colour image.
I would love some feedback from the readers of this blog. What do you prefer? b&w or colour? Please add your reply below. I will post more b/w or colour images depending on the response.
Look forward to flying back home to Port Stephens tomorrow. Enjoy. Brent

I have a lot of local customers that were not aware that Brent Mail is the photographer and has captured all of the beautiful image in his very special book “Moods of Port Stephens” . If you are not familiar with his work log on and have a look at moodsofportstephens.com Brents amazing landscapes grace the walls of many Local Residents, Restaurants, Resorts, the local Baptise Church and even the offices of the Examiner Newspaper.
You too can purchase these beautiful images to hang in your home or make a perfect gift for that friend that has visited the area and fallen in love with our magical landscapes. Brent’s sunsets are my favourite and to be honest when I look at them I am reminded of how beautiful our summers are and it helps to make me feel a little warmer during this cold winter.

Twins are a blessing in themselves, but these two are just adorable. Cheeky smiles, blond curls and the energy of a football team !!!
Billy and Halley are the best for friends at four years old. They had soooo much fun jumping off the sand dunes, playing tugg o war and chasing bubbles in the breeze. These two are water babies as well so we had them back to the pool at the studio to do some Aqua Kids shots as well. What little ones doesn’t want to be a mermaid or pirate diving for treasure in the afternoon ?
These children’s smiles are infectious & I love the body language between these two as well. We have been able to create some amazing art that will grace this families walls for a life time to come.

Becky had her first shoot with us several years back and also stars in our Capture Imaging model video, so she is very much apart of our studio. We always love an update on where our models are and what they are doing. We are so proud of what Becky has achieved so far, I was thrilled when I saw Becky had a double page spread in Zoo Magazine last week. Becky has also be photographed for Ralph Magazine along with many other publications in recent years.
I caught up with Becky this week and she has been busy on the catwalk launching Bra’s'n’ things Summer range and doing a lot of promotional work in Sydney for many high profile companies. Becky thrives on hard work and markets herself very well.
Becky is really excited about her current project and is working very had training getting ready for an international modeling competition in Singapore so we wish her the best of luck for the next couple of months.
Many of our Miss Surfest girls recognised Becky in our studio and aspire to follow in her foot steps. I tell the girls that not only is Becky a stunning beautiful girl but she is a really beautiful person on the inside, very sweet and down to earth which I think makes her natural beauty shine.
Have a look at the stunning images Brent shot for Becky that remain in her portfolio.

What a better reason for a big family get together than a 40th Birthday.
Margo came to our studio to organise this very special photoshoot and chat to us what she would like to have done. She was planning to celebrate her 40Th Birthday. Margo told me here family was dotted around the country some coming from as far away as Geraldton WA, they were all staying for five days having a holiday too.
What a perfect time to have family portraits done, mile stone birthday and family reunion.
Well Brent himself had a ball, he did an amazing job getting the perfect group shot. The a shot of Margo, her Mum and the Sisters together, then he went on to do individual family shots. There was so much laughter and fun as they boy’s verses girls tuggawar was being won. We even got the perfect shot of Grandma with all her beautiful grandchildren.A perfect sunny day at Zenith made for a stunning back drop.
I spent the Saturday morning with the entire family while they viewed their very special images, there were a few tears shed, I even had tear, listening to the oooh and ahhs as they watched their beautiful images unfold on the screen before them. I know everyone was so touched, it was so evident of the love they had for one an other, even though there are thousands of miles between them. They now have these amazing images to reflect upon that will grace the walls in each home.
Thank you Margo, for allowing us to capture this special time for you and your very special family.

Steve and Oonagh came to me asking for a panorama landscape image of Salamander Bay, just down the road from where they live in Corlette. I was up for the challenge and whenever I had the chance I would drive there and check the tide, wind and sun direction. It was a lot more difficult than I though to get the tide, wind and sun combination correct for the perfect shot…took me 3 months and about 6 different photo sessions. Below is the result – printed on canvas, hanging in their home. They are thrilled with the print. Soon I’ll put this print on moodsofportstephens website for anyone to order. I’m in the process of shooting my fine art series right now…..stay tuned. Brent

The Mulhearn family came to our studio for a planning meeting. The girls have been dancing for many years and it was very clear that their parents are very proud of their beautiful daughters.
On the day of the shoot there had been some fairly heavy showers and we were a little concerned about the weather, but over at Zenith beach, there was a little breeze and the rain held off as we managed to capture this families images. I think the lofty clouds in the back ground add an interesting back drop to an already perfect setting.
It was lovely to get a shot of Mum & Dad together for the girls as well. When they came in and viewed their imagines, Mum & Dad mentioned that they had not had a lovely portait together since their wedding.
Hope you enjoy these images and take a little time to think how we could capture YOUR beautiful family.
