NEWBORN, family & MATERNITY Photographer

Heartfelt . Cinematic . Soulful

turning your memories into art

For convention-defying families who want outside-of-the-box romantic creative family photos.

Sydney, Australia based — Capturing maternity shoots, newborn sessions & families across the Southern Highlands, Blue Mountains, South Coast & beyond.

We think we'll remember it all, but as the years slip by and our babies outgrow our arms, the memory of these moments fades as well. 

Photos are a beautiful reminder — a time capsule of the tiny stories unfolding in our every day. One day these moments will feel monumental, even though right now they might feel mundane and insignificant. Don't wait another moment to immortalise them.

Capture your memories to treasure.

Because the days are long, but the years are short.

Frequently asked questions

Discover all the answers to your

Do you help with the planning process?

Where are you based? Do you travel?

Absolutely! When booking with me you'll receive a detailed client guide that covers everything about how to plan an intentional experience. You can count on me for everything from providing a list of the perfect locations, creating a mood / style board, wardrobe recommendations and everything in between.

I'm based in Sydney, but regularly travel across Australia, as well as all over the globe. There are no travel fees for any shoot within Greater Sydney. However for longer distances or drives, as well as interstate and international bookings, I have fixed travel fees which I'm happy to share with you when you enquire.

How many photos will we get?

How will we receive our photos?

When your gallery is ready, it will be delivered to you via email in a password-protected online gallery, making it easy for you to view & download all of your photos (and purchase extras if you wish), order prints, as well as share the link with friends & family so they can share in your joy & relive the memories.

I believe in quality over quality, so generally deliver an average of 40 - 50 photos per hour depending on your chosen experience. Rest assured I never leave anything out and don't put a cap or a limit on what I deliver. Each session is unique and I always make sure to capture plenty of photos. ;)

When is the best time for our session?

Can you photoshop us?

I want to focus on making you & your loved ones feel beautiful, rather than look unrealistic. So no, I don't photoshop your bodies to appear different than they actually are. But yes, I will photoshop anything that isn’t permanent such as clear up skin and remove distractions & fly aways.

For at-home sessions, mid-morning tends to work well with kids. However, I'm more than happy to work together around your family's routine. For outdoor sessions, sunrise & sunset are perfect for photos. The light is gentle and flattering with a soft, warm glow that you just don’t get at other times of the day. 

Do you offer payment plans?

Do you offer prints & albums?

Most certainly! I know from experience how helpful it is to be able to budget in a safe & stress-free manner, so am more than happy to craft a tailored payment plan for you. :)

I sure do! I partner with one of Australia's best print labs to offer you archival quality, beautifully timeless prints and albums. Let me know if you're interested in adding some to your experience.

From deciding on locations to building a wardrobe and everything in between, I'm here to help you every step of the way. Let's do this!
