so here is a quickie from our very first shoot of 2012! taken on the 1st of the 1st 2012 here is a 10 day old precious Samoan princess… lot’s of new images and news to share with you very soon!
Melissa & Billy were recently engaged and wanted a some beautiful canvases to display in their home. As you can see DJ captured the love once again.
Congratulations Melissa & Billy, from the Team at Studio Promise.
We had the honour to photograph Matt & Tess for their third Wedding Anniversary. DJ had a blast capturing all these gorgeous images of a couple so deeply in love.
It is always a privilege and honour when people choose us to create photographs of their really special moments… moments like your first child about to come into the world. The wonderful Charmaine and Andrew choose us to do just that last weekend, and we had an absolute blast….
as i was busy photographing the older kids jumping around i saw a moment happening in the lounge room with daddy and his little girl… from the same wonderful family shoot as the previous post. - DJ Paine
Just got back in the studio from a fantastic shoot for a wonderful family in Newfarm Brisbane. Three beautiful children, Issy who’s 5 1/2, Olly who’s 2 1/2 and precious new little Ava. It’s both a challenge and a joy shooting in someone’s home; the joy come’s in finding those amazing moments in the home where the children feel at home… the challenges come by the same fact: the kids feel at home so they generally get over it quicker. But overall i really enjoy doing what we used to call “environmental portraits” - people in their own environment. AND to top it all off, i am sucker for gorgeous old queenslanders. - DJ Paine
DJ had a great time at a recent session with 4 boys under the age of 6! This image just captures each little personality. Lots of Fun!

Michael Fassbender stars in a creepy Prometheus viral: watch online now
Prometheus has done a pretty smart job of plugging the film without giving too many plot specifics away, and that trend continues with a creepy new viral video starring Michael Fassbender…
it just keeps on getting better and better.
