Ordinary moments.
Extraordinary legacy.
From one parent to another, I can take a guess where you are right about now. Life is busy, and your kids seem to be growing faster than you can keep up. You’ve found your way here because you’re looking for some way to hold onto the love, the chaos, and the everyday magic that makes your family yours.
You’re not just after the ‘perfect’ pictures, but photographs that bring you right back to these golden years—the laughter, the chaos, the tender connections that make up your world. The kind of images that, decades from now, will pull you back to the love and life you’ve worked so hard to build.
For almost two decades, this has been my mission. To document what family means to you. I’m here for the real stuff—the belly laughs, the quiet cuddles, and the wild, beautiful mess of it all. I want to give you photographs that don’t just show how it looked but remind you exactly how it felt.
My family photography sessions are for you if you’re in search of something lasting, something you can hold in your hands and hang on your walls. Something your kids will look at one day and say - “This is where we came from. This is who we are.”
Let’s preserve the magic of these moments.
Document the beauty of your everyday
with photos that feel like home.
in-home family photography sydney
An in-home family session with me - quite simply - feels like home. Whether you’re in your kitchen, your bedroom or backyard, you’re never as comfortable and free as when you are at home which makes it one of my favourite places to capture families just being themselves. It’s also the place where I can capture the beauty of rhythm and routine, documenting these everyday magical moments and familial connection that hold so much more meaning in the years that follow.
Maybe for your family it’s the tangle of limbs sprawled on the couch, making pancakes together in the morning, the joy of riding bikes down familiar neighbourhood streets, cartwheels in the backyard…or simply the snuggles with your little loves in bed. There is no need for perfection or for your home to be spotless or mess-free, and I truly mean it when I say that lived-in is beautiful to me (and I promise you'll agree - when you look back on these in the years to come).
The rhythm of family life at home is beautiful as it is fleeting, and in the lead up to our session I’ll ask you to think upon what you long to remember. My hope is that these sessions feel like a time capsule, preserving the joy and inescapable chaos that defines your family’s story in these golden years - the ones you long to remember. This is your everyday magic. These are the moments that matter.

"Nobody captures the quiet, in-between moments quite like Trish. Her friendly, calming presence allows us to just be ourselves, producing photography that is natural, candid and sentimental. We have been fortunate enough to have Trish capture past milestones and look forward to many, many more."
- Fran & Angus
She did a brilliant job of putting us all at ease and capturing warm, natural photos (from a family who generally hates posing and being in front of the camera), rather than stilted portraits. I am certain we will have her back again in future as our family grows!
- Chloe W
“Stunning mementos that perfectly capture the beauty of family life. Trish herself is lovely and, frankly, works miracles transforming what you might feel is a very average day or setting into something magic."
- Sophie
WHEN AND WHERE ARE THESE SESSIONS?
Held within and around your home, these sessions generally take place around 10am. That said, I am most happy to be flexible if you're working around nap times and sleep schedules, and I'll also align timing with the activities and family rhythms you are hoping to capture.

WHAT IF MY HOME ISN'T PRETTY?
Your home is where your family feels most like themselves, and that’s what makes it the perfect place. It’s not about spotless rooms or designer furniture. It’s about the cozy corner where you read bedtime stories, the sunlight streaming through the kitchen window, or the little nooks where your kids play and make memories. I focus on the people, the moments, and the feeling of home—not the things.
With years of experience, I'm confident in finding the best light and angles to bring out the warmth and authenticity of your family life regardless of how your home looks. And trust me, when you look back at these photos, it won’t matter what color the walls were or if there were toys on the floor—you’ll just see a childhood built upon a foundation of love.
HOW DO I PREPARE FOR AN IN-HOME family photoshoot?
Embrace the joy that lies in the imperfect and be prepared to just be. For our session to go with the flow, to be led by the little ones and their energy, and to be prepared to simply love on them and be wholly present. In this day and age, it's often hard to carve out that dedicated family time but instead of waiting for the perfect moment - know that all you need to do is show up, and I will take care of the rest.
Common Questions
LET'S GET STARTED
How do I book a family photoshoot and what happens next?
Your session is booked in with me once your $300 creative session fee has been paid (collections are purchased separately and include both digital and print options - request full price guide here). I will then send through my Client Prep Guide and a Family Questionnaire which helps me get to know your family and understand what is important to you. We will then confirm specific timing and location details, and I offer guidance for clothing and styling if you require this in the lead up. The session itself will be relaxed and fun, and your images will be available to view within a fortnight.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you shoot analogue film for our session?
Yes, and I would LOVE to. There is a film fee of $300 to cover film and processing costs.
What should I wear?
I want you to feel comfortable in your own skin. Textures, layers, and neutrals are timeless and often work well - but above all, I want you to feel like you, and the kids to feel like themselves. I send through a client prep pack before your session, which has some guidance on dressing for the day.
Do you do extended family sessions?
Yes! However, given my style is documentary and natural, I suggest organising these sessions around an activity such as a picnic, beach adventure or an indoor at-home session doing things you love to do together as a family. I can take all the group photos that the parents or grandparents request, but also all the quiet magic and subtle gestures that make your family who they are! Please note additional fees may apply.
Do you offer a framing and album service?
As a professional photographer, I believe this is one of the most valuable services I offer and perhaps the most often overlooked. Your time and money invested deserve to be celebrated rather than remain in hiding on a drive or cloud somewhere.
Once your session is complete, your images are hosted in a private gallery linked to my favourite lab with an abundance of beautiful products that can be ordered and shipped safely to your door. I can help design keepsake albums for you to hold in your hands and heart. I’m also available to provide advice on creating gallery walls, print and frame sizing.
