Most people come to me wanting two things, and they’re not sure they can have both. They want photos that look beautiful. The kind you’d frame and hang and not feel embarrassed about when people notice them. But they also want photos that actually feel like their family… honest, a little imperfect, and recognisably them. […]
Over the last decade, I’ve had the joy of welcoming many a family to Sydney, and documenting some incredible family memories during their visit. From our famous Sydney beaches, to the quieter green parklands, and neighbourhoods with many a good coffee and brunch spot in between, I’m reminded of just how incredible our city is […]
Extended family photos are one of those things almost everyone intends to do. Then life gets busy — calendars, distance, the sheer logistics of getting everyone in the same place at the same time — and suddenly it’s been three years since you were all in the same frame, and someone has grown six inches, […]
If you’ve been thinking about booking a family photo session in Sydney and you’re in the “what do I need to consider?” stage, this page is for you. Here are the questions I hear most often! When should I book maternity photos? Most mums book somewhere between 30 and 35 weeks. Your bump is beautifully […]
Reasons to consider maternity photos at home There’s a version of maternity photography that requires you to show up somewhere, look a certain way, hold still, perform. And for some people, that works beautifully. But for most of the Sydney families I work with, the images that matter most come from somewhere else entirely. From […]
There’s a kind of beauty in ordinary family life that’s almost impossible to see while you’re inside it. The same couch corner your toddler always claims. The way your kitchen becomes the gathering place every single morning without anyone deciding it should. Your partner scooping up a kid mid-conversation, barely breaking stride. The hallway collision […]
Winter doesn’t get much love when it comes to family photos. Most people assume it’s something to push through until spring arrives and the weather gets “good again.” But after photographing Sydney families across every season, winter has become one of my favourites to shoot in, so here’s my take! If you’ve been sitting on […]
When was the last time you held a photo in your hands? Not the double-tap kind. The kind with weight and texture—the kind that transports you somewhere immediately. If you’re struggling to remember, you’re most likely in good company. We are, collectively, probably the generation that has snapped the most photos in our lives yet […]
If you’re a mum of young kids, you’ve probably struggled with trying to choose your favourite family photos. Your camera roll is probably a living, breathing record of your life: sticky hands, beach days, daycare drop-offs, first rides, birthdays, the ordinary everyday moments you never want to forget. And yet… actually doing something with those […]
You’re Not Alone. The Photo-Load Is Real. This is the first post in a short memory-keeping + photo-organisation series to help you get your beautiful memories off your device and into your life. Somewhere on your phone right now, there are probably thousands of photos. A blurry one of your kid mid-blink. A duplicate. Several […]
