From pregnancy and newborn to family portraiture I love working with all types of families. Whether a new family of just three, to larger families or even those that include fur babies, I feel privileged to help you record your family history.

I am a professional photographer who loves capturing families

Family life can be busy, loud and often leaves no time to stop and simply capture that moment in time you are experiencing together. I have not met one family that has regretted having more photos taken over the years, especially as their children were growing. I believe it is important to take the time to tell your family’s story, to pause in your busy life and giggle, smile, cuddle and have fun together. This is what I aim to do within my family portraiture sessions. There is always a level of experience that is needed to help children, in particular young children, to obtain a beautiful image, but capturing their personalities and how you interact as a family is entirely you.

During your session I will spend some of our time together coaching you through what is needed, but a lot of time simply observing. This is where the magic happens, and these are my favourite photos, the ones you didn’t realise were being taken.  They are real, honest and in my opinion the best depiction of you as a family. More often than not, these are the images people tell me they end up framing for their home or giving as gifts to other family members.

Yes, I'd love more beautiful family images

Pregnancy & Newborns

Maternity and newborn portraiture are commonly booked together as a double package. The time waiting for your little one to arrive is the perfect opportunity to focus on you as a couple, or a family awaiting their next addition. I will help you to feel comfortable in front of the camera, even if at that point in your pregnancy you don’t know what comfortable is anymore! I aim to capture both the connection between Mum and Dad with each other, and also with their little one. As a Mum myself I understand how emotional this time of your life can be, and how important it is to document this part of your family history.

Newborn portraiture is booked between 2-10 days after Bub is born and the shoot is carried out in your home. This allows for our time together to be as easy and stress free as possible for you, the last thing you need to worry about after coming home from hospital is racing around to have photos taken. I will speak to you about when is the best time to come to you during the day, and I understand that babies don’t work to adult schedules. I will be with you until I believe I have captured the images you want.

For maternity and newborn photos, please see my FAQ and packages for more information. For all babies that are older than 10 days, please contact me directly to speak about what plan will be best for your little one.

You can never have too many family photos

My favourite part of being a family portraiture photographer is watching a family grow over the years. I am available for Christenings, Baptisms, Birthday parties and Christmas Card shoots. I have had the privilege of returning to churches to shoot the christening of each child in a family where extended family members remember me even years on. Some relatives even remember my face from the wedding in the same church! These are the moments that make me smile and remind me why I love what I do. Christmas card portraits at the same time each year are also fun, I love catching up with each family to see what has happened since the last time I saw you. You can never have too many family photos, so let's chat.
