I have a confession… “just one more photo” comes out of my mouth quite a lot 😂
Because once we’ve got that lovely everyone-looking-at-the-camera portrait, there’s still so much I want to capture.
The running. The cheeky grins. Little arms wrapped around Mum. A giggle with Dad. Siblings together, and each child having their own moment.
My Christmas minis are 20 minutes, and I deliberately leave a little breathing room between families. It gives me time to reset and get ready for you, with some flexibility if things run behind.
I put a lot of heart into these little sessions—and usually end up with a viewing gallery of 50+ images for you to choose from! Your package includes your selected images, with the option to purchase extras.
I want you to enjoy being together and leave with photos that feel like YOUR family. Not just one perfect photo where everyone is looking at the camera, but all the little moments in between too.
Had a session with me before? Tell me what you remember about it in the comments. I’d love new families here to hear your side 🥰

Apparently I’ve been targeting the wrong age group with my cake smash sessions… 😂🎂
For Alice’s 10th, I wanted to capture exactly who she is right now—netball, dancing, sparkle, confidence, silliness and her beautiful friendship.
We planned a glamorous birthday moment… but her best friend had other ideas. 😂
Maybe cake smashes don’t have an age limit after all!
Would your older child love a birthday session like this? 🤍

A first birthday deserves a little more than just cake. 🎂🤍
We start with beautiful family portraits while everyone is still clean 😂, then it’s time for the birthday photos, the Cake Smash chaos… and finally a warm little Bath Splash to finish.
And one of my favourite parts? This little one first came to me as a tiny newborn. 🥹 Getting to photograph my babies as they grow is pretty special.
Cake Smash sessions are available in my cosy Mt Eliza studio. 🤍

You never quite know which baby is going to show up to a Cake Smash… 😂🎂
The sweet little angel, the very serious cake critic… or the one who chooses absolute CHAOS. 😂
And honestly, that’s exactly why I love these sessions — no two are ever the same.
We start with family portraits, move on to the messy cake fun, and finish with a little bath splash. 🛁🤍
Which personality would YOUR baby be? 😂👇

The problem with photographing newborns? They refuse to stay tiny. 🥹
One minute they’re curled up asleep in my studio… and somehow they’re back celebrating their FIRST birthday. 🤍
Getting to watch my tiniest clients grow is one of my favourite parts of this job. 🥹

Who said a first birthday photoshoot needs a cake? 🎂🤍
This little guy first came to my studio as a tiny newborn… and now he’s back to celebrate turning ONE! 🥹
We kept it simple — no cake smash or big setup, just relaxed portraits capturing his little personality exactly as it is right now.
If a full Cake Smash isn’t your thing, a simple studio portrait session is a beautiful, more budget-friendly way to celebrate this milestone. 🤍
Because turning ONE is worth remembering — cake or no cake.

Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing dads 💛
The ones who say, “I hate photos” 😂 but somehow end up in some of my favourite images.
The shoulder rides, silly games, big cuddles and making the kids laugh — these are the moments they’ll remember.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, grandads and father figures today 🤎
