For family sessions, I love photographing in the late afternoon, when the light is softer and we can create that beautiful, relaxed end-of-day feel. Friday afternoons are my favourite.

For little ones or child-only sessions, mid-morning can work beautifully too. I have plenty of lovely shaded areas to work with, giving us a little more flexibility around naps, routines and when your child is happiest.

Ultimately, we’ll choose a time that gives us beautiful light while also working well for your family.

My collections have been thoughtfully designed to include both beautiful printed artwork and your digital images because I truly believe your family’s story deserves to be enjoyed beyond a screen.

For over 20 years, I’ve been personally printing every family’s photographs in my studio. One of the most rewarding parts of my work is watching your images come to life as they’re lovingly printed, then carefully prepared for you to hold, frame and enjoy in your home.

It’s what I’ve become known for, and it’s a tradition I’m incredibly proud to continue. While digital images are wonderful for sharing, there’s something truly special about holding your family’s story in your hands.

If you have something specific in mind, I’d be more than happy to chat and create a collection that’s right for your family.

The later milestones are all about letting your little one explore, play and simply be themselves.

Our Kurrajong acreage becomes their little adventure—wandering through the gardens, picking flowers, meeting friendly farm animals, watching ducklings and lambs in spring, collecting leaves, spotting kangaroos, and taking those unforgettable first steps through nature.

Every season brings something different, making each visit beautifully unique and creating memories just as special as the photographs themselves.

Absolutely. Your Journey is all about celebrating your growing family.

Siblings are always encouraged to be part of each session, and parents naturally feature throughout the journey too. Grandparents are also more than welcome to join if you’d like to capture this special season across generations.

These photographs become even more meaningful with time, and there’s something truly beautiful about preserving the people who are part of your families story from the very beginning.

The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and like yourselves.

I generally recommend soft, neutral and earthy tones that complement the natural surroundings beautifully. Rather than everyone wearing the exact same colour, choose colours that sit well together and reflect your family’s personality.

Flowing dresses, natural fabrics and simple textures photograph beautifully, while avoiding large logos, busy patterns and bright neon colours helps keep the focus on your connection.

Most importantly, wear something you feel confident in. When you feel comfortable, it always shines through in your photographs.

I’m actually very unlikely to cancel a photo shoot because of a little rain. I keep a close eye on the weather throughout the day, and unless thunderstorms or continuous rainfall are expected during your session, we can usually go ahead.

Overcast skies and a little drizzle can actually create the most beautiful conditions for photographs ~ softer light on skin, richer colours and so much depth through the trees and gardens.

I’ll stay in close contact with you on the day so we can make the decision together. If you’d simply prefer to stay dry, that’s completely understandable and we can reschedule.

Or, embrace it! Bring the gumboots, let the kids splash around between showers and make it part of the story. With plenty of shaded areas to work in, a little rain certainly doesn’t have to spoil the fun. 🤎

Absolutely. You’re more than welcome to book a single family, newborn or children’s session at any stage you’d love to capture.

If your baby is sitting, taking their first steps, or you simply feel like now is a season you want to remember, we can create a beautiful session around exactly where your family is right now.

For families wanting to document more of their baby’s first year, I also offer my Stepping Stone Journey, capturing those beautiful newborn, sitting and walking milestones along the way.

There’s no right way to do it ~ choose what feels right for your family. 🤎
