If you've come here for breathtakingly natural photos
We all have iPhones and it can be tempting to organise a DIY shoot in your own backyard.
And yes, the results will probably be decent.
But what’s missing is…
- A professional’s keen eye for detail
- Someone to gently guide you to your perfect angle
- The tricks that turn the grumpiest of kiddos into obliging angels
What’s missing is someone to take the pressure off YOU so you can soak up the moment.
Without having to worry about…
- the perfect shot
- what outfit to wear
- how to get the family to listen
A professional photoshoot gives you peace of mind
that someone takes care of things for you
Inviting me along to your special milestones will not only deliver the candid shots you’ve been hoping for, it’ll also make me your personal support crew before, during and after the actual shoot.
Pick my brain for outfit inspiration.
Tap into my location-scout expertise to suggest locations.
Rely on me to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera.
Together we’ll turn something that usually comes with an AWKWARD badge into a fun experience with your favourite people.
And me as your token photographer ring-in. (Who quite possibly will feel like a newfound friend by the end of our session.)

So, you would like to book in.
What's next?
I'm excited to meet you and create something truly memorable together!
Before we get started, let’s take care of a few important details. First, we’ll finalize the perfect date, time, and location for your session. Then, I’ll send you an email with your session fee/deposit invoice. To officially confirm your booking, you’ll need to pay the $200 non-refundable session fee and sign a contract. This ensures we’re aligned and everything runs seamlessly.
You’ll also receive a brief questionnaire to help me get to know you and your family a little better. No detail is too small! The more you share, the better I can tailor your session to reflect your story. If it’s a moment that fills your heart, it’s a moment worth capturing.
Then we can book n a pre-shoot coffee catch up to go over the finer details and plan for an amazing session.

WHAT IS THE BEST TIME FOR A SESSION?
There’s something truly magical about photographing at sunset. That soft, golden light just before the sun dips below the horizon creates the most breathtaking atmosphere—it’s warm, dreamy, and oh-so-flattering. The golden hues bring out natural skin tones, add depth to the background, and even create those beautiful little sun flares that make images feel extra special.
But it’s not just about the light—sunset has a whole vibe of its own. The day slows down, the air cools, and there’s a sense of calm that makes it easy to just relax and enjoy the moment. Whether it’s a family session, a couple’s shoot, or a maternity session, there’s something undeniably romantic and timeless about that golden glow.
And the best part? Sunset light changes so beautifully. It starts with warm, golden tones, then shifts into soft pinks, purples, and deep blues as twilight sets in. This natural transition creates the perfect mix of vibrant energy and quiet, intimate moments—giving so much variety in just one session.
Yes, sunset sessions take a little extra planning, but trust me, its always worth it. The light, the colours, and the magic of that golden hour come together to create photos you’ll treasure forever.

what should we wear?
Think coordinating, not matching. Choose outfits that feel effortless and fun, with textures, layers, and flowy dresses or skirts. Neutrals with pops of color always look great, and accessories are an easy way to add a little personality.
Stuck on what to wear? No worries—that’s what I’m here for! I love helping with outfit choices, whether it’s checking out your ideas beforehand or offering suggestions if you’re heading out shopping.
A few things to avoid:
- Thin stripes (they don’t photograph well).
- Large logos or bold brand names (they can be distracting).
- Super matchy-matchy outfits (no denim-and-white-shirt combos, please!).
One last thing—be ready for some fun! I’ll probably have you sitting on the ground, running, playing, climbing, and maybe even getting a little wet if the moment (and location) calls for it. My priority is capturing real, beautiful moments, not keeping outfits pristine—this is a family/couples session, not a fashion shoot!

What drives your passion for photographING PEOPLE?
It was my dad who gave me my first camera - a Minolta x-700, 35mm film camera. And together we changed our approach and went on a mission to preserve as many family memories as we could. That involved turning our family garage into a makeshift darkroom.
So many fond memories right there!
