With Photos that feel like home
Unscripted. Unposed. Unforgettable.
Real, honest, story-driven photography for the moments you’ll want to remember most.
Trying to fit a photo-shoot into family life can be stressful.
You’ve already had an argument with your oldest about the outfits, you’re running late because of course you are, you’ve resorted to bribing your three-year-old, and your shapewear is pressing on your last nerve.
Then, when it’s all done, the ‘perfect’ images, beautiful as they are, just remind you of the pressure, stress, and forced smiles.
They don’t feel like you.
The moments you really want to remember aren’t perfect or posed. They’re full of life, love, and all the chaos in-between.
It’s the feel of their tiny hand in yours, the sound of their laugh, the crazy dance moves… These are the moments where you want time to freeze.
That’s what I capture; the magical moments that make up your family’s story.
Sessions built for busy family life
If being a mum has taught me anything, it’s that real-life rarely runs on schedule.
The shoes will go missing. The juice will spill. The meltdown will happen right when you’re about to walk out the door.
That’s why my sessions are designed to flow with the beautiful chaos - not fight against it. No rush. No pressure. No hidden extras.
Because connection doesn’t need to be complicated and your photos shouldn’t be either.
Included in every session:
A session that fits your family
No stiff posing. No racing the clock. Just relaxed, connection-first photography tailored to your real-life rhythms. Includes an in-person, pre-session consultation to meet, connect, and plan everything around you.
Your complete story
You’ll receive your full gallery of hand-edited images. No upgrades. No surprises. Plus, a print ready USB and professionally designed heirloom album, all wrapped up and personally delivered with care.
Thoughtful touches that go further
It’s the little things… The stickers tucked in my camera bag, a print guide to help fill your home with memories, and a 10% donation to local family-focused charities. Because it really does take a village.
Find the session that fits your family’s rhythm
From quiet cuddles at home to sandy toes at the beach…
From a moment in time to the story of your life…
These three sessions styles are designed to quietly capture the moments that make your family yours.
Here’s a closer look at each experience.
Classic sessions
A glimpse into your everyday magic
Honor the big milestones and the beautifully ordinary moments in between with a Classic session captured right where you’re the most you.
Set in the comfort of your home, these sessions are a beautiful way to tell the story of who you are right now. The real smiles. The little rituals. The way your family feels when nobody is watching.
A natural, relaxed way to capture connection, personality, and all the little things that make you say:
“This is us.”
Perfect for:
Families with young kids or complex needs
Those new to documentary family photography
Marking a milestone or just ‘because’
Adventure sessions
Experience life at full speed
From barefoot wanders along your favorite bush track, to ice-cream at the beach, or sun-soaked days by the water, Adventure sessions are about making memories, wherever they take you.
Set in the places that matter most to you, these sessions capture all the action, laughter, and imagination that make your family who they are.
With a little more time to let the day unfold, we’ll bottle up the moments that makes you say:
“Remember when…?”
Perfect for:
Families who love the outdoors or have a special location in mind
Energetic kids who need space to roam
Those who want to make memories as well as capture them
A Day in the life
The story only you can tell
From sun-up to bedtime snuggles, A Day in the Life sessions are an intimate, unfiltered look into your everyday world.
No scripts. No posing. Just the slow, beautiful rhythm of real life; bedhead hair, playing footie at the park, quiet cuddles, and everything else in-between.
Photographed with care and attention, using the art of noticing to gently and honestly preserve your story.
It’s not about perfect moments. It’s about your moments.
The one’s you’ll look back on in a decade or two and say:
“That feels like just yesterday.”
Perfect for:
Families who want more than highlights - They want the whole story
Creating a legacy of everyday magic to pass down and treasure
Special occasions, gifts, or milestone seasons you never want to forget

Frequently Asked Questions
-
There’s no need for coordinated outfits or special shopping trips! You can find tips for outfits in my article ‘5 simple ways to prepare for a stress-free documentary session.’ But most important is to wear what feels comfortable and represents your family. The goal is to capture your life as it is, so if that's your kids favourite dress-up or your well-loved hoodie, that’s perfect!
-
Don’t worry, kids will be kids! I’m here to capture genuine moments, not perfect poses, so tantrums, giggles, and unexpected antics are all part of the fun. These little moments often make for the most meaningful photos.
-
As a mum myself, I know that every penny counts. Many high street print services produce great quality prints and are much more cost effective than pro print labs. That’s why I include a complimentary print guide and print optimised image files on USB with every session. However, if you do want professional level prints, you’ll find pricing for my print lab partners in your welcome pack and I’d be happy to organise them for you.
-
Absolutely! Pets are part of the family too.
-
Yes! I primarily serve families in Mandurah, Perth, and Peel, but am happy to travel to other locations. Travel expenses may apply for locations more than 40km from Mandurah central.
-
Not at all! Life is messy, and that’s part of its charm. I encourage you to embrace the chaos, messy counters and toys on the floor are part of your family’s story, and that’s exactly what we want to capture.
-
No worries! We’ll work together to reschedule if needed, or we can pivot to a different indoor or covered location. Your comfort and safety are always the priority.
-
I hold a Certificate in Photography from The Photography Institute. Families might also like to know that I hold a current WWCC from my other role as a volunteer martial arts instructor.
-
Your $80 deposit is paid when you book your pre-session consultation, this simply covers my time and travel. The remainder of your session fee is required at least 48hrs before your session. You can find full details for deposits, fees, refunds, and rescheduling in my booking and payment policy. I don’t currently offer payment plans, although I do accept PayPal, where you can ‘pay in 4’.
-
Every session starts the same: By booking a free intro call to chat about your vision and confirm availability.
-
Yes! Sessions make wonderful gifts for families, and I love being part of the surprise. We can plan the whole surprise here or organise a thoughtful gift card. Click here to get started.

Documentary photography, by it’s nature, reflects real life. My photos are retouched in my style (exposure, colour correction, gamma, etc.), but will never be ‘photoshopped.’
The moments that matter today become the stories they'll treasure tomorrow.
There will be a last time you carry them to bed, feel their tiny fingers wrapped around yours, or wipe the ‘princess makeup’ from their face. These fleeting moments are what we treasure most when they’re grown. Documentary photography captures these small but extraordinary moments and makes them last forever.
I only take a limited number of bookings each month to ensure every family gets the care and attention they deserve.
