Mildura, Victoria, servicing SA, NSW and VICTORIA. You think you’ve got plenty of time to prepare for life and plan all the things you want to do, to be the best human you can be. But how can you possibly know what your journey is going to entail? How can you know what time you or anyone else will have? Creating a story of photographs that resonate deeply and serve as timeless reminders of the lov

e and connection in your life are what fills your home with purpose. Celebrating life while those we love that are with us sometimes can be taken for granted, and that is why I am on a mission to help as many people as I can to capture and embrace every part of their chapter.



“So take the photographs and stillframes in your mind. Hang them on your shelf in good health and good times.”

Only 2 weekend spots left for family sessions this year, plus selected weekday spots still open.

If you've been meaning to book — a milestone, a new addition to the family, or just because it's been too long since your last set of photos — now's the time. The end of the year always comes faster than expected.

Send me a message and let's find a date that works for your family.

Not sure when to lock in your maternity or newborn session? Here's a quick way to tell.

Tick yes if any of these sound like you:
🔸You're somewhere between 28-34 weeks (the maternity sweet spot)
🔸You're expecting and haven't booked newborn photos yet
🔸You keep meaning to "get around to it" once things settle down
🔸You want photos from this exact chapter, not just baby photos in general

If you ticked two or more, now's the time to lock in a date — babies don't wait.

Not sure if now's the right time to book? Here's a quick way to tell.

Tick yes if any of these sound like you:
🔸It's been over a year since your last family photos
🔸You've had a new addition (baby, pet, in-law — all count)
🔸Someone's about to hit a milestone birthday or grade
🔸You catch yourself thinking "we really should get some done"

If you ticked two or more, it might just be time. Send me a message and let's find a date.

They're not usually the ones planning the session, picking the outfits, or worrying about the light. But they show up. They do exactly what they're told, exactly when they're told it, and somehow make it look effortless.

Working hard, showing up tired, putting everyone else first, again and again — that's not nothing. That's the quiet backbone of every family I photograph.

This one's for the dads. You matter more in these photos than you probably realise.

This is what happens when you photograph someone at the exact moment they're stepping into who they're becoming — poised, capable, a little unsure, and completely beautiful all at once.

Sessions like this one are a reminder that portraits aren't just for babies and families. Sometimes they're for marking a milestone all on their own.

Here's what actually happens in the first five minutes of a session.

Truth is, I'm settling my own nerves too. While we talk, I'm already reading the light, thinking about colour, working out how to connect with the person in front of me.

No posing straight away. Just enough conversation to find the version of you that's easy to be around a camera.

By minute five, sometimes ten, most of that settles — for both of us. That's when the real session starts.

"Your dad's dead, darl."

That's how I found out I'd lost my dad — eighteen years old, sitting at my grandparents' kitchen table, no warning at all.

It's not something I usually talk about. But it's a big part of why I care so much about getting families in front of the camera, all of you, together, before you assume there's always more time.

Some people arrive to a session convinced they're not photogenic. Not a photo person. That this was probably a mistake.
And then something shifts.

Watching that happen — watching someone see themselves the way I see them — has been the biggest surprise of my year. I knew I loved photography. I didn't realise how much I'd love this part.

There are things you put on a vision board not really believing they'll happen.

This year, one of them did.

A few weeks before, I'd had my own shoot done — and for the first time in a long time I knew exactly what it felt like to be on the other side of the camera. Nervous. Hopeful. Trusting someone else to see you. Even more so, photographer capturing photographer.

So when the opportunity came to photograph Doug from Twig and Olive. Someone whose work has stopped me mid-scroll for years, I put my hand up. Even though every part of me was super nervous.

And it was one of the best experiences of my year.

That feeling of showing up for a shoot and hoping it's going to be okay? I understand it more deeply now than I ever have. And I carry that into every single session.
