Welcome to Along Came Red, Photography and Web Design

Hi, I am Clementine, a photographer and Squarespace web designer based in Armidale NSW.

I enjoy all kinds of photography, however I feel most at home when I am capturing people — whether it be family sessions, events or brand shoots. To capture a sense of emotion, mood or movement in an image never ceases to delight me.

I am also especially interested in designing websites for small businesses and individuals. I love to be creative, so to start with an initial idea and then weave that into a website that showcases my client’s unique brand and business gives me a great sense of satisfaction! Anyone that knows me will admit that I am a perfectionist to the very core (it’s great for work ethics, not so much for sleep)!

Along Came Red - The Journey

This is me, Clementine!

My photography journey started many years ago when I wanted to take better photos to showcase food for my cafe, then catering business. I bought a good camera, spent some time learning the ropes and realised that photography actually brought me a great deal of enjoyment! I decided to get some actual training to further my skills and I managed to complete my certificate right before my fourth child was welcomed into the world — he was born with bright red hair, a big surprise in a family of five blondies.

It was there with our little ‘Red’ that my passion for photography really kicked off as I was able to take the photos that I regretfully didn't have the skill for when my other children were younger. When they got tired of me I moved on to other families, events and so much more and It just grew from there!

Then came web design, a surprising creative journey that I didn’t see coming. After failing to find anyone to do it for me, I decided to knuckle down and build my own website having already had a bit of practice at editing my catering website for a few years. I was genuinely surprised at how much I enjoyed the process and started doing it for other people.

I love seeing the blank pages come to life - best career twist ever!

What My Clients Have To Say

  • Clem did such an amazing job taking our family photos. She was easy to communicate with, went out of her way to make a time work that suited us and was flexible when extra people joined the shoot. She captured such special memories of the whole family together, as well as smaller and more intimate groups. She made everyone feel at ease and provided the finished images quickly. We couldn't be happier with the images and memories she managed to capture!

  • We were absolutely blown away by the photos Clementine took — they were totally us in so many ways. She worked magic, especially seeing as she was dealing with an uncooperative teen, a cranky baby and extremely camera shy parents. She has an uncanny ability to capture those special, tiny moments in time and was really approachable and easy going and made us feel really comfortable. 1000% would recommend!

  • Even though our photo session took place on a miserable New England afternoon, the photos turned out exceptionally well. We loved the way Clem was able to capture our family to provide us with treasured memories. I have no hesitation in recommending Along Came Red for any photo shoot you may require.
