Welcome to my blog

My name is Belinda Cook and I’m the photographer behind Garland Photography.

My passion is capturing the magic of every day in photos, especially that magic that exists within a family. That instant bond between a mother and her child, the curiosity and interaction between new siblings, the joy and wonderment that a newborn brings into every new family.

I have two young boys of my own who you will see many times throughout this blog. I am so privileged to be able to capture so many special moments of their childhood in beautiful pictures, I would love to do that for you too.

Sessions can be held in the comfort of your home or an outdoor location, there are so many stunning locations in Sydney!

As well as travelling all over Sydney for photoshoots, I also travel to the Central Coast, Newcastle and the South Coast (Nowra / Kangaroo Valley areas) throughout the
year, so if you are in one of these areas, please contact me to find out the next available dates.

I am also available for commercial assignments, please contact me to discuss your requirements.

Thanks for visiting!

Sneak Peek of Alexander…{Sydney Newborn Photography}

Isn’t this family divine?! They have just moved into the most stunning home and I was so delighted to be invited to photograph their new little family there. Three week old Alexander was sweetly sleeping when I arrived, but it didn’t take long for him to wisen up to what I was doing there and then this baby would sleep no more. It took a while, but we still got some beautiful shots. It is obvious how much this little one is loved. Thanks again guys, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek xxx

Woodland Nimph…{Trash the Dress}

Trash the Dress sessions are a chance to get your wedding dress back on one more time and get all those shots that you were too afraid to get on your wedding day in case your dress got dirty or wet. They are so much fun and this one was no exception. Alissa is one of my most frequent clients (I recently did the beach shoot with her kids below) and we thought it would be great fun to give her wedding dress, only 2 1/2 years old, another run. We went to 2 locations for the shoot, this one is the first, a gorgeous creek a few minutes walk from my home studio. Alissa, you were amazing, I hope you had as much fun as I did. Here’s a selection of the shots, stay tuned for a sneak peek of the second location, coming soon!

Sneak Peek of Miss Lillian…{Sydney Baby Photography}

Here is the adorable 11 month old Miss Lillian…big eyes, gorgeous curls and the cutest little dimple when she smiled. She is almost the same age as my youngest so her mummy and I had lots to chat about. Little Lillian was such a pleasure to photograph and loved dressing up in my pettiskirts almost as much as she loved her big Dora doll. Her mummy has done a great job decorating her nursery too which was just beautiful.

I’ve been asked a lot lately to add an additional memeber of the family (the four-legged furry kind) to family portraits, so I’ve added one of these to the sneak peek too :-) Thanks again Kelly for inviting me into your beautiful home. Enjoy your sneak peek and I’ll be in touch with the rest of your gallery soon xxx

Happy Birthday to my Baby Boy… {Sydney Baby Photography}

Can’t believe it’s been a whole year since this little guy came into the world, a drug free 10 hour labour to the soundtrack of U2’s “No Line on the Horizon”. Ahhh…the memories :-)
Ashton, you are a complete joy, I love you more and more every single day. Happy 1st Birthday my sweet little boy xxx

Sneak Peek of Codie & Holly… {Sydney Baby Photography}

I first photographed Miss Holly and her brother Codie when she was only a few weeks old, so this was a lovely little update shoot. The kid were soaking wet in the first 5 minutes, but loved playing in the water and it was so much fun just to capture them enjoying themselves. Little Miss Holly is also one of my commercial models, and i’m about to do a Trash the Dress shoot with her mum, so this family is by far my biggest repeat client…we’ll be up to 5 shoots by the end of March! Thanks again Alissa, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
