This morning the sun was shining for little Marley to have some fun down at Penguin Beach. Marley adores the beach and didn't hesitate to go running into the waves crashing on the shore.

 Dad, Daniel would jump through hoops for his little girl!

After dragging Kayla, into the water, Marley was happy to watch the waves from Mum's arms.

Keep those bubbles coming Poppy (Kelvin) 

Nan (Theresa) stayed dry on the shore, despite Marley's attempts to drag her into the waves.

 Loving splash time in the water!

Visit the NW Coast of Tasmania in October and you will be treated to a stunning display of Tulips, especially in and around the town of Wynyard.

The town celebrates Spring with a Tulip Festival on the second weekend in October, and Tulip Farm at Table Cape offers up the most gorgeous array of blooms.

Elysian Photography is all about bringing beauty into your life and after thinking about it for a while I wondered to myself why this had to stop at your personal life.

Why couldn't we have photography that brought beauty to your business and so, Elysian ~ Focus on Your Business was born.

At Elysian Photography I wanted to provide good quality and affordable business photography that offers more than just product photos and head shots.

From August through to October Elysian Photography has been visiting individuals, businesses and groups along the NW Coast of Tasmania taking photos for the SAY NO Selfie Campaign.

Domestic Violence is sadly becoming ever more prevalent, with 1 in 5 woman, and 1 in 20 men experiencing domestic violence at the hands of the people who ‘love’ them.

The aim of the SAY NO Selfie Campaign is to raise much needed awareness and money to assist those affected by domestic violence, in our local communities, by publicly ‘SAYING NO’.

The money raised by this campaign will be used to create emergency packs for woman and children who have had to leave violent situations abruptly. These packs will be donated directly to the Ulverstone and Burnie Women’s Shelters.

The ‘Say NO’ Selfie Campaign will raise awareness by encouraging local businesses to display ‘Say NO’ photos throughout Devonport, Ulverstone, Penguin, and Burnie during the month of November. The photos were taken by Elysian Photography w...

Wow ... looking back on my first "portraits" to todays and it is like comparing apples & oranges. Both a photos of people, but I can honestly say that now during an Elysian photographic session I really do aim to capture photo's that portray real life, real emotions and real moments in time.

In getting to know the families I photograph, I have realised that I truly value the genuine, heartfelt moments of families as these are the chapters that make up the stroybook of memories that each family will treasure forever.

I want to be able to give my families photos of that capture the true essence of them ... not just photos that capture "the day the whole family wore white shirts and jeans". I want to take photos that tell the story of who YOU are.

I want a photographic session with Elysian to be all about the love and connections between the members of your family. To do this I will take time to get to know you and your family and discover the things that you truly love and valu...

Little Oscar has just turned one ~ here are a couple of my favourites... how can you not love this little dude!

                                 Full of smiles this little man is always ready when he sees the camera 

                      And what little boy would be complete without his mummy's love and cuddles.

So here I am ... so many changes over the past 12 months....

* new house

* new school for my son

* new GALLERY & STUDIO for Elysian Photography is open at the Penguin Market

~ a NEW LIFE CREATED!!

My journey to date has been full of steep mountains and flat open spaces, but with every day I open my eyes to the sun, is a new opportunity to forge even further ahead.

Elysian Photography has emerged from its very humble beginnings as Kim Ogden Photography ~ my skills improving and my own style emerging.

A year of taking as many sunrises and sunsets as I could capture has given me some photographs which are still amongst my favourites.

And sometimes the beauty of the sunset is not what we see in front of us, but is actually the reflection of what has happened behind when we weren't looking. 

I was pondering today on where I am at the moment and feeling like I hadn't gotten very far, when I paused to look back on the journey behind me.... and it was then that I realised that although I may h...

I LOVE SPRING ~ it's that simple.

Such a beautiful season with new life everywhere.... blossoms, little birds and flowers everywhere you look.

My love of taking children's photos can often be hampered by the weather, so when the opportunity came along to open a small studio next to my Gallery / Shop at the Penguin Market of course I said YES!!

And then thought.... what have I done!!

Lucky for me, Brian (the wonderful husband of Karen, my partner in the shop) came to my rescue. Using all recycled materials he made my vision a reality and so the Elysian Studio was created.

Although a small space, it is perfect for young families that want to bring children in for a potrait, and it has been well recieved amongst market goers.

With such a warm and inviting feel, the studio is a good option for those just wanting a few photos, and has seen children, families, best friends and couples all enjoy a moment in time captured by Elysian Photography.

So excited!!!!

Thanks to the amazing talents of Erica from The Island Creative, Elysian Photography now has a gorgeous new website!

It is still a work in progress but I am happy to say that I think Erica has captured exactly the feelings I hope to evoke in you as you browse through my site.
