Matsen Extended family session ✨

This extended family session at On The Range was packed with everything you'd expect when you get the whole crew together; plenty of laughs, endless banter, a few questionable jokes (always mine) and of course, some perfectly timed rabbit ears making their way into the photos.

A beautiful afternoon, exceptionally styled colour palette, great company, lots of memories made, and we still managed to get some gorgeous photos = winning!

Honestly, if your family session doesn't include a few laughs and at least one rabbit ear photobomb from Grand Dad, are you even doing it right?

A self-confessed car girl, I loved that Hayden brought along his ute for the session✨

Delivery day for Tegan & her girls ✨

A beautiful afternoon spent with this gorgeous mumma and her girls, soaking up the last of the golden light with their horses by their side. There were giggles, cuddles, windswept hair, dirty boots and the kind of moments you can’t pose, only feel 🤍

These sessions are never just about the photos. They’re about freezing this season of life exactly as it is… the love for their horses, the bond between sisters, and the memories being made in between the laughter.

One thing I'm learning, horse girls always have dogs, as much as I love meeting the horses I'm loving meeting all the pups too 🥰 Are you a horse girl with a dog too?

Hailee, Ty & Bump ✨

Hailee reached out to me just a week before their session, and honestly, as a mum, I know how quickly photography can slide down the priority list during pregnancy amongst appointments, planning and the general chaos of preparing for a baby.

But for Hailee and Ty, capturing this chapter of their lives felt important. They knew these moments deserved to be remembered, and the farm was the perfect setting to tell their story.

So between schedules, life and the weather gods being on our side, we made it happen on the most beautiful May afternoon. Golden light, perfect weather and two people soaking in the excitement of what’s to come 🤍

My first Horse & Rider focused session ✨

There’s just something so special about the connection between girls and their horses… the quiet trust, the little looks, the soft moments in between. 🤍

Friday afternoon felt like stepping into a dream with Tegan, Matilda & Armani. From brushing windswept manes out of faces to cuddles between shots, every little moment felt so genuine and full of love. These weren’t just photos, they were memories of a bond that runs so much deeper than words.

And can we talk about the light?! Absolute *chef’s kiss* golden glow all afternoon ✨

Erica (horse) and Sprinkles (pony) were absolute legends. Although, getting Erica to put her ears forward definitely turned into a full team effort 😂 Such a graceful old gal, completely unbothered by all of our silly noises and antics.

These are only the sneak peeks, and I already can’t wait to share the rest 🤍

If you’ve ever wanted beautiful, heartfelt images with your horse that truly capture your connection, let this be your sign. Whether it’s your heart horse, your child’s first pony, or simply the bond you never want to forget, I would love to create something magical with you ✨

Send me a message to book your own Horse & Rider session 🤍

Horses, they would have to be my favorite animal of all time.

When my friend Leonie reached out to get some sale photos of her gorgeous foals, I jumped at the chance to catch up, talk horses and take some pics of her latest babies. If your a horsey gal, I recommend following Leonie's page Sunnyside Acres Western Horses

Miss Matilda

Tayla and Tom (and now Matilda) honestly feel like part of the family now 🥹
Over the years, I’ve photographed them through many seasons of life, and because Tayla chose my bump-to-baby package, we’ve spent even more time together these past few months.

And this is exactly why connection matters.

The funny thing is, before Tayla first booked me for their couple session, we were complete strangers. Now, if we bumped into each other in the street, we’d stop for a proper chat, like old friends.

When you’re inviting someone in to capture some of the most intimate, emotional and vulnerable moments of your life, that comfort and trust means everything. Because really… why have a stranger there for moments that matter so much? ✨

Amber Jake Evelyn and Bump ✨

There’s something extra special about being asked back to capture another chapter.

Watching this beautiful family grow as they await the arrival of their second little love was nothing short of magic. The quiet anticipation, the laughter, the knowing glances… it all hits a little deeper the second time around 🤍 Something you might notice it the absolute VIBE of these photos, Jake & Amber are that giggly couple who are always joking around and never too serious, these images show the real them.

It’s such an honour to document these moments not just as your photographer, but as someone who gets a front row seat to your story as it unfolds.

Watching Evelyn embrace bump was so cute! Baby #2, you are already so loved 💫

Fresh 48 sessions, The magic of those first few days in the world.

Miss Matilda, you are an absolute doll. I really could have spent all day with these guys. So calm and caring and mature way beyond their years.

I have captured these doting parents as a couple, as expecting parents and now as parents. I cannot wait for Matilda's newborn session to see how much she has grown x

I know you may have noticed all of these are black and white, I LOVE fresh 48's in black and white , but they are provided in colour also.
