With Photos that feel like home
Family photography for the moments you 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’ve resorted to bribing your three-year-old, and your shapewear is pressing on your last nerve.
Then, when it’s all done, the images just 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…
That’s what I capture; the everyday magic that makes up your family’s story.
Sessions built for busy family life
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 be flexible and flow with your family.
No rush. No pressure. No hidden extras.
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.
“Amazing - Definitely one’s to treasure!”
- Jessica, Pinjarra.
Find the session that fits your family’s rhythm

These three sessions styles are designed to quietly capture the moments that make your family yours.
Classic
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.”
-
Families with young kids or complex needs
Those new to documentary family photography
Marking a milestone or just ‘because’
Adventure
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…?”

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.”
-
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
Give the gift of memories
Perfect for baby showers, birthdays, engagements, or just because you love them.

“We’ve never had photos taken from the boat before, but Stacey was a pro at capturing all the action, wipeouts included. We’d totally book her again.”

Frequently Asked Questions
-
There’s no need for coordinated outfits or special shopping trips!
It can be a good idea to avoid bright, bold patterns, and large logos as they distract from the subject of the photographs: you.
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!
For more on how to prepare for your session check out this article.

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, wall art, or additional albums, you’ll receive details of my partner pro lab pricing at your pre session consultation.
-
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.
-
Some kids love splashing in puddles (mine included) and I have wet weather protection for all my gear, so rain isn’t always an issue. However, if you’d rather not get wet or you’re not feeling well, we’ll work together to reschedule, or we can pivot to a more sheltered location. Your comfort and safety are always the priority.
-
I hold a Certificate in Photography from The Photography Institute and my images have been featured in The Photograp[her] Magazine.
Families might also like to know that I hold a current WWCC from my other role as a volunteer martial arts instructor.

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. Together we’ll capture 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.
