There's a perfect photoshoot package for everyone

Ready to explore? Then you're in the right place.

If you've come here for breathtakingly natural photos

Let's face it.

We all have iPhones and it can be tempting to organise a DIY shoot in your own backyard. And yes, the results will probably be decent.

But what's missing is...

  • A professional's keen eye for detail
  • Someone to gently guide you to your perfect angle
  • The tricks that turn the grumpiest of kiddos into obliging angels

What's missing is someone to take the pressure off YOU so you can soak up the moment. Without having to worry about the perfect shot, what outfit to wear, or how to get the family to listen.

That someone takes care of things for you

A professional photoshoot gives you peace of mind

Inviting me along to your special milestones will not only deliver the candid shots you've been hoping for, it'll also make me your personal support crew before, during and after the actual shoot.

Pick my brain for outfit inspiration. Tap into my location-scout expertise to suggest locations. Rely on me to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

Together we'll turn something that usually comes with an AWKWARD badge into a fun experience with your favourite people.

How it works

The process

  1. 01

    You reach out

    Once you've made up your mind that I could be the perfect photographer for you, it's time to get in touch and pay a holding deposit to secure your preferred date.

  2. 02

    We connect

    We'll connect either via FaceTime or meet in person over coffee to discuss the finer details. This will help us choose the perfect shoot location, give you peace of mind, and ensure I understand your vision for the session.

  3. 03

    It's shoot time

    This is your moment to shine and simply enjoy being in the moment with your special people. I'll take care of the rest and support you with gentle guidance so we capture that perfect shot.

  4. 04

    We celebrate your shots

    Your edited private online gallery will be ready for you 2-3 days after our shoot. This allows you to view your shots in your own time and select your favourite shots, keepsakes and print products.

  5. 05

    You show off your gems

    Expect any print products or keepsakes on your doorstep 2-5 weeks after your session. Now it's over to you to proudly show them off.

FAQs

Questions, answered

What is the best time for a maternity or family session?

There's something truly magical about photographing at sunset. That soft, golden light just before the sun dips below the horizon creates the most breathtaking atmosphere: it's warm, dreamy, and oh-so-flattering. The golden hues bring out natural skin tones, add depth to the background, and even create those beautiful little sun flares that make images feel extra special. Sunset sessions take a little extra planning, but the light, the colours and the magic of that golden hour come together to create photos you'll treasure forever.

So you would like to book in. What's next?

First, we'll finalise the perfect date, time and location for your session. Then I'll send you an email with your session fee invoice. To officially confirm your booking, you'll need to pay the $200 non-refundable session fee and sign a contract. You'll also receive a brief questionnaire to help me get to know you and your family a little better. Then we can book in a pre-shoot coffee catch up to go over the finer details and plan for an amazing session.

What should we wear?

The key is to wear something that feels like you: comfortable, flattering, and something that makes you feel amazing. I always recommend starting with Mum. Once she finds the perfect outfit, we can build the rest of the family's looks around it. Think coordinating, not matching. Choose outfits that feel effortless and fun, with textures, layers, and flowy dresses or skirts. Neutrals with pops of colour always look great. A few things to avoid: thin stripes, large logos or bold brand names, and super matchy-matchy outfits. Stuck on what to wear? That's what I'm here for.

What drives your passion for photographing people?

When I was a little girl, my 4-month-old baby sister sadly passed away and left a big hole in our family and in my heart. And sadly we have less than 10 photos with her as a family. It was my dad who gave me my first camera, a Minolta X-700 35mm film camera. Together we changed our approach and went on a mission to preserve as many family memories as we could. That involved turning our family garage into a makeshift darkroom.

Where do you shoot?

Across Sydney and beyond. Every session is shot on location outdoors in natural light, and we choose the spot together at your pre-session consult so it suits your session, your privacy and the light on the day.

How long until we see our photos?

Your edited private online gallery will be ready for you 2-3 days after our shoot, so you can view your shots in your own time and select your favourites, keepsakes and print products. Any print products or keepsakes arrive on your doorstep 2-5 weeks after your session.
