Ciao!
After many months of planning, I’ve finally arrived in Italy for a European summer.
Following a busy and exciting few weeks photographing events in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, it was wonderful to step onto the plane and begin this next chapter.
This trip is centred around two special projects: photographing an event last weekend in my family’s hometown of Arce, in the province of Frosinone, and the upcoming Reset & Rise Retreat with Heidi Horne in late July.
Over the coming weeks, I’ll be studying, learning, creating and planning for the year ahead, ensuring we continue to deliver the very best event photography experiences for our clients and their businesses. While I’m away, the team will continue providing photography services as usual, and I’ll be working closely with them from Italy.
For now, though, a gelato is calling my name.
A presto!
Professional Photography Business Network
From the 21st to the 24th of May, we headed north to the sunny Gold Coast for the Professional Photography Business Network gathering – four wonderful days of creativity, connection and community. It was an absolute treat to spend time alongside so many talented photographers, swapping ideas, learning from the best in the business, and celebrating the craft we all adore.
We were especially proud to step into the role of official photographer for the event, capturing the energy, the laughter and the genuine sense of community that makes this industry so special. It was great to use our “Live Delivery” Software using Facial Recognition, to deliver images directly to the delegates!
Events, Celebrations & Milestones
Recent months have brought a gorgeous range of projects our way, including elegant wine photography for Cassegrain Wines, a heartfelt evening at the SSMRF Annual Dinner, and an annual Sports Lunch for Ronald McDonald House. Scroll down for a little look at the events, celebrations and milestones we’ve been proud to capture.
We had the absolute joy of working alongside Cassegrain Wines. Our lens lingered over their crisp Blanc de Blanc, their soft blush Rosé, and the rich Chardonnay Pinot Noir each pour offering its own story to tell.
The full collection is now live for you to explore across Cassegrain’s website and their latest Harvest Magazine.
What a privilege it was for our team to be behind the lens at the St George & Sutherland Medical Research Foundation Annual Dinner on Friday 15 May. Held at Club Central Hurstville the sold out evening brought our community together to celebrate the 2 Research Grant Recipients, whose work spans cancer, women’s health, immunotherapy and paediatric research.
We were honoured to be the official photographer at the 2026 Ronald McDonald House Sports Awards, capturing an inspiring evening that celebrates remarkable people while supporting families with children in hospital.
Enter the upcoming Beachside Dash to support Medical Research.
The inaugual 21.1km Half Marathon starting from Dolls Point is one of 5 events on the 13th September 2026.
Every event tells a story, and the Sophie B team loves being there to capture it! We have an eye for the energy, the faces and the little in-between moments that make your day truly memorable.

Dementia Australia - Advocacy
As you may be aware, my husband Jonathan was diagnosed with Dementia over two years ago. Since then, we have both decided to be involved with Dementia Australia as advocates. This has led to a number of opportunities to share our experience with Dementia. Jonathan’s core hope, is that by sharing our experience, we may help one person. If we can help people, by sharing our experience, to help them speak openly about their situation, then together we can gain a greater understanding of Dementia and it’s impact on our society.
A number of events have occurred recently. Feel free to contact us anytime, if you would like further information.
Whilst I photographed the SSMRF Annual Gala Dinner, Jonathan attended the evening with other Dementia Australia advocates. Jonathan is pictured here with Pam Brown (far left) and speakers and researchers who are continuing to strive for a great understanding.
We also participated in a recent discussion about Dementia on the SBS Program, Insight.
