Happy 1st birthday to this beautiful boy Tatum! We had so much fun capturing this special milestone! Even though he wasn’t too keen on getting his hands covered in cake lol, he loved the balloons and his milk bath. Lots of smiles and giggles were had and great moments! <3 <3
It was such a fun family session with this gorgeous family! After so many cancellations due to wet weather, we were finally blessed with a beautiful afternoon and we couldn’t have asked more, as the afternoon light was so divine!! I had changed the location as I wanted to also capture the season in her truest form with stunning autumn colours, and I’m so glad I did!
It is always a pleasure to meet first time parents as they start a wonderful new chapter with their baby! It’s lovely seeing them work as a team and tending to the needs of their precious one. Master D was such a pleasure to meet! We captured so many delightful smiles during his session which made us all shriek with excitement! Just beautiful!
What a beautiful winter sunset session with this gorgeous family!! It was such a pleasure to meet them especially this sweet little man. He was very easy to photograph and loved his every expression, from his eyeing the camera with his inquisitive demeanour to his heartfelt giggles! Loved it! I love meeting families like this one and capturing special moments for them! So grateful for my job <3 <3
We had a wonderful personal branding session with Andronika, the face behind That Art Place in Bexley, Sydney. Andronika runs sip and paint classes for adults, art classes for children, and special event sessions in her art studio. I hadn’t done a personal branding session in quite a while, so it was excting to connect with her doing what she loves, and capture refreshing images post COVID-19 isolation, where she had to take her business on-line and run classes virtually, like many businesses. Humble, funny (hilarious actually!) and super talented describes her perfectly! Just beautiful!
When I asked Andronika what drives her, her response..”I love being in my own environment, I enjoy adding new things and building my own little oasis that I can share with others. I love teaching, and seeing kids enjoy learning, and developing their own talent. I love being around happy people, watching people celebrate. I find it rewarding to see people enjoying themselves, their artwork & each other’s company.... It makes me happy.”
The Front Steps Project Sydney ❤️was inspired as a result of COVID-19 where families were forced to be in isolation. This was a moment in time that needed to be documented as it affected all of us globally! When I heard about the Front Steps Project in the US, I knew I had to bring it here to my community, not only to document this time, and an opportunity for our community to connect during isolation, but also to give back in some way. The duration of the project was 8 weeks, raising a total of $2,400 for Georges River Life Care, a local charity that supports people in desperate need in our community. Thank you to ALL the 48 families who participated in the project, it was so lovely to meet you all! The overall response from everyone was so wonderful and heartfelt.
The shared imagery of this project certainly lifted our spirits by spreading love and hope in our community. Families were spending so much time together, and I could sense family bonds strengthening and a greater appreciation for each other. Having these portraits allowed families to live in the moment, create fun memories, and hopefully remember this time in quarantine with greater positivity and hope rather than fear, because for me personally, it did just that.❤️
This gorgeous family are in Quaranteam <3

Its been a while since I’ve posted a blog. I’ve now made a commitment to myself to share more client galleries and their precious images with you all! Lets share more LOVE and JOY into the world I say! :)
This gorgeous lady came to me over three years ago and I did an amazing sunset session with her and hubby. It was so magical, and we had so much fun! I met her precious little girl and we did her newborn session, and now three years on, is expecting another girl very soon! Very exciting and I feel very honoured to be capturing these precious moments for them. This mumma is a stunner and glowing with beauty! Love her hair and beautiful belly <3
Loving these studio maternity sessions! Had so much fun with this beautiful mum and her gorgeous little girl! Will be meeting their new addition very soon :) Pregnancy is such a magical time..embrace your beautiful belly! Take advantage of my mini maternity special this month only! http://www.marieberroaphotography.com/maternity-offer
It's a Boy!! Here's precious little baby Louis at 14 days (newborn from the previous maternity blog post ;) He is soooo adorable beyond words..definitely an old soul - you can tell through his deep eyes. It was a great session capturing so many lovely images of him, his family, especially with beautiful sister Liv. Just simply beautiful <3
Well, what can I say about this adorable family? Well, they are my family! Dominique is my gorgeous niece, even though she hasn't called me "Aunty Marie" since she was about 14! I guess I'm more like a big sister! ;)
When she was pregnant with their first child, I was very happy to capture this special time for both Dominique and Andre, and now almost three years on, we are here again with baby no 2.....this time I think we created something even more special and memorable, especially with these wonderful sunset colours. With beautiful little Liv in tow, every image speaks of love and being totally in the moment. Creating memories like these with the people that truly matter is what life is all about, right? Hope you enjoy these memories Dom and Andre, and Liv, love you guys :) xxxxxxx
A special portrait session of two gorgeous brothers Alex and Lucas just for Fathers Day!! What a beautiful gesture and gift from mum and wife!! Taken outdoors, we had lots of fun together with their canine beast Pepsi...more like a gentle giant :) Hope Daddy loves his images!
This was such a lovely and special newborn session! Love these guys, they are my very dear friends and it was an honour to capture their beautiful little girl Eliana - what a lovely name!! She didn't cry once and was so peaceful throughout each transition (wish all my babies were this easy ;). Her big brother was so very proud and no doubt he'll be a loving and protective brother. Congratulations again guys! xxx
Its was an amazing Wedding with a double celebration! Having their beautiful daughters christening earlier that day, this lovely couple got married afterward at Balmonal Beach, Mosman. I don't normally take on weddings, but I'm so glad I did! It's was a wonderful intimate occasion, in an amazing setting at the beach front, with endless views of the ocean. Certainly an event to remember...
After days of endless rain in Sydney, I was like an excited little girl to see the sun come out in Wollongong for Christian's Baptism. He is such a gorgeous happy baby! I had the pleasure of photographing their growing family a few times, and now celebrating a beautiful occasion amongst beautiful people. It was a blessed day!
I just love it when my clients get right into the photo shoot, make it their own, and have so much fun with it! We danced, played music, sang, read books, tickled, giggled and went on a bit of an adventure outside - and created so many beautiful moments! Thanks guys for an awesome shoot, I loved it - little Zac is too adorable!! x
What a beautiful day for Olivia! It was a nice small gathering with her nearest and dearest to celebrate her special day. Her smile just lights up the room like a bright spark! Bless her heart x
Beautiful little girl with a beautiful name!! (of-course as my own little girl is Gracie :) She was an absolute delight to photograph, I couldn't get enough of her! So calm and happy with each of the transition poses, lucky me! I photographed her big brothers christening over a year ago, now, he is such a big handsome boy, geez how time flies! x
Having your first child is a very exciting for new parents. Ellie's parents are just smitten! Seeing them fussing over her brought lots of memories back for me with my first child. But her mum seems much more confident than I was! Lovely session, and little Ellie is so beautiful and so long, she'll be a tall lady for sure!
This is the second time I had the privilege to capture this beautiful growing family. I captured their son cooper 2 years ago and now their third, Zoe. How adorable is she!!! Loved this session!! Unfortunately, one week after the session, poor little Zoe had two emergency heart surgeries - really felt for the family during this tough time. But Zoe is much better now and is recovering well. Our children are just so precious! Bless this little angel girl <3
What a beautiful family! Baby Alessia was such a delight to photograph, not to mention a very adorable and active big sis! The bond between sisters is so special (I have two :) and as they grow up together, I'm sure they'll always be there for each other <3 <3
Sweet <3
Big yawn!

Beautiful mum and baby x
So cute!!!
