No two families, couples, or homes are the same—so why should your photoshoot be? This experience isn’t cookie cutter, because you’re not. I take time to get to know you first: your rhythms, your energy, the small but beautiful things that make your world feel like home. Whether we’re dancing barefoot in your backyard, exploring your favourite beach, or chasing golden light through the halls of your Airbnb, this is about your story.
My approach is thoughtful and deeply personal. I’ll gently guide you where needed, but mostly, I’ll observe—waiting for the real, emotive, in-between moments that reflect who you are in this season. You don’t have to come polished or perfect. You don’t even have to know what to wear (I’ll help with that too). You just have to show up, as you are.
Before your session, I’ll send you all the info you need to feel prepared and confident. From what to expect, to how to make the experience feel relaxed and fun, I’ve got you. And on the day? I’ll be right there with you—calm, present, and ready to capture the kind of honest magic that lasts.
This is your life. Let’s celebrate it, beautifully.

An Experience That Is heart focused & intentional
[02]
[03]
If you’re the kind of person who feels everything a little deeper...
If you find beauty in the mundane—sunlight on the kitchen floor, tiny fingers gripping yours, the way your partner looks at your child when they think no one’s watching...
If your house is lived-in, a little wild, filled with love and crumbs and music...
If you crave photos that feel like memories—not posed, but present—
Then we might be the perfect fit.
My people are romantics at heart. They know that real life is messy and magical, sometimes in the same breath. They want art, not perfection. Feeling, not performance. They want to bottle this fleeting season before it slips through their hands.
If that sounds like you, I can’t wait to meet. Let’s create something honest and beautiful, together.
your story told honestly
& artfully

A Note on Investment: Every story I document is approached with care, creativity, and intention. To secure your session, a $100 creative fee is required upfront. This covers the time I spend planning and preparing your shoot with thoughtfulness and heart.
The creative fee is separate from your session cost, which will vary depending on the type of shoot. When you inquire, I’ll send a detailed pricing guide so you know exactly what to expect.

This is where the magic happens. Sessions typically run for 45–60 minutes, sometimes longer if the moment calls for it. I’ll arrive with a sense of calm and curiosity, gently guiding when needed but mostly observing and capturing things as they unfold. It’s playful, unrushed, and rooted in trust. You get to just be—together, present—and I’ll take care of the rest.
04. seen & low stress
I’ll send over a questionnaire to learn more about you—who you are, what this season looks like, what lights you up. We’ll chat over email or voice notes (or even a coffee if you’re local!) to make sure the shoot feels tailored to you. This step helps me show up not just as a photographer, but as someone who understands your story and how to honour it with heart.
03. catch up
Once you’re ready to lock it in, we’ll choose a date that works for you and your crew. A $100 creative fee secures your session and allows me to begin planning intentionally. I’ll also send over a contract and your invoice. It’s all done simply and smoothly online—no stress, just excitement.
02. Date & deposit
First things first—I want to make sure we’re a good fit. If you’ve landed here and felt something—like your story could be told this way—then we’re off to a good start. You’ll fill out a short inquiry form and I’ll send over my pricing and info guide. This step is about connection. If my work resonates with you, and you’re dreaming of images that are raw, nostalgic, and honest, we’re likely aligned.
01. we 're aligned
My process is designed to be low stress and deeply intentional—because your experience should feel as natural and enjoyable as the moments we’re capturing. From our first conversation, I aim to create a calm, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and comfortable just being yourselves. There’s no rush, no pressure, and no forced poses—just gentle guidance and plenty of space for real connection.

Your Questions
I focus on natural, unposed storytelling that captures the genuine emotions and connections of your family or couple. My style is nostalgic, artistic, and candid—think moments, not poses, with a soft, timeless edit that feels like a memory come to life.
What’s your photography style?
Most sessions run between 45–60 minutes. This gives us plenty of time to move naturally through your day or chosen location, capturing authentic moments without feeling rushed.
How long does a typical session last?
I prefer to keep posing minimal and natural. Instead, I guide gently and observe closely, so your photos feel real and emotive rather than stiff or forced.
Do you do posed photos?
I love shooting in meaningful locations—whether that’s your home, a special park, the beach, or stunning Airbnbs I style. Wherever feels right for your story and your vibe.
Where do you shoot?
The creative fee is paid upfront to secure your date and covers the time I spend planning and preparing your session as well as the after shoot editing with care. It’s separate from the session cost and ensures I can give your shoot the full attention it deserves.
What is the $100 creative fee?
I’m super experienced with sensitive and shy family members. My approach is gentle and playful to help everyone feel comfortable, and I focus on capturing real moments over posed smiles. No pressure, just presence.
What if my kids or partner don’t love being in front of the camera?
I'm based in Coolum on the Sunshine Coast, but am available for travel Australia wide.
