Bundle multiple sessions for a special disocunt
All of my newborn sessions are held in at my home studio, I have my entire collection of client closet dresses & pretty things, children's clothing and props of every description.
Not having to tidy your home and being able to have some time to relax while I work my way through your session is stress-free and easy. I only hope you can manage to scoop up your little treasures, pop them in the car and head on over to my studio for a relaxing, no tidy up, stress-free hour and a half of pure sweetness capturing those first few moments with your new little one.
As a mama myself, I know how precious this time in your life is and how quickly it passes. I can promise you, these moments are something you will cherish forever.
Maternity sessions are best done around 30 weeks.
Outdoor at sunset or throughout the day in my Studio
Each session includes styling services & access to my client closet
My family sessions are always done over sunset. So be sure to check what time that may be, depending on daylight savings. It could mean the difference of 4pm compared to 7.30pm!
These sessions also include full use of my client closet, so pop on over to the gallery and see if there's something you love.
I understand sunset might be tricky with your little ones, but as a mama of 3 myself, all I ask is for you to trust me! I make every session fun, and let the kids play and enjoy themselves. You might worry they'll be a tired, grumpy mess but I'm on it! I've been a primary school teacher for many years now and nothing will come as a surprise. I have many tricks up my sleeve so come and let's have some fun!
I live on the Central Coast just North of Sydney, Australia.
Yes! I hold all my newborn sessions and also offer maternity and sitter sessions in my studio. It’s actually the garage of my home that I have created a cosy little space in. I love it and have tried to make it comfortable and easy to use. I sanitise and launder everything that gets used during a session in order to maintain hygiene and have everything needed in terms of props, wraps and outfits. It has a natural, boho feel to the space, and I use natural lighting only.
Yes! I offer maternity and family sessions in certain areas of Sydney (Rouse Hill, The Hawkesbury or the Northern Beaches). I also travel to Newcastle and the Hunter Valley. These locations do however have a small travel fee. If there's a special request (especially for weddings) on a certain location that's quite far away, I'm definitely able to travel! Just contact me and let me know what you're looking for.
Oh this excites me! I have carefully selected the outfits I have purchased and offer them all in a range of sizes. I have some that are high-end, handmade gowns and I also have some that are from sweet little boutique stores. All are chosen with different shapes and sizes in mind and work to flatter all body types.
My client closet is available for everyone to use for their sessions. You’re welcome to book in a time to pop over and browse my collection and try as many on as you’d like. Your session includes unlimited styling advice so don’t stress! Once you’ve selected which outfits you’d like to use, I bring them along to your session and take them back with me afterwards and have them all cleaned ready for the next client.
This is called ‘golden hour’ and it’s simply because the light is so soft and golden right before the sun sets. It casts beautiful creamy tones rather than harsh white light, and is much more suited to portrait photography and making you look your best!
No. Offering my unedited images is giving you only half of my product. I have a high standard that each image must meet, and if it does not meet that criteria, it is removed. If there’s more images I love and know you will like, I will include them. I do not however send you a gallery to choose which ones you’d like, I just include them all for you.
If either you, your partner or your children are unwell and you cannot attend your session, we will reschedule to another week once everyone is healthy and well. Especially since Covid, it is very important to stay home if you are feeling unwell, and to let me know.

I have recently made this decision, and it is purely based on maintaining consistency in my work. I want to ensure you are guaranteed to receive what you see in my posts and advertising. Choosing to no longer offer in home sessions has allowed me to have complete control over lighting and the space in which I use.
This varies for each session. Sunset sessions go for around an hour, sometimes a little longer once we’ve met and walked to the desired location etc. Studio sessions are booked for 1.5-2 hours and are scheduled from 11.30am-3pm on weekends as this is optimal lighting.
Not a problem at all! There’s no such thing in my books. My style is a mix of lifestyle and posed. So you’ll hear me giving you explicit instructions but other times I’ll give you a prompt or something to do that will give us those candid, cute moments that just happen.
I’ll always touch base with you if the weather forecast isn’t favourable. Sometimes it clears later in the day, but in the case of having to postpone, we will just reschedule to another date that suits.
Yes! Most definitely. You’ve invested in beautiful family photos, so make the most of it and pamper yourself. You’re not going to look back at your images and wish you didn’t have your hair and makeup done. Here are some businesses on the coast I highly recommend!
