On Monday, I had the honor of capturing something truly special. Tori reached out to me to photograph her with her 4-month-old daughter, Soul, and her beloved fur baby, Lulu, who has been by her side for 14 amazing years.

Lulu, Tori’s first fur baby, has been a loyal companion through every chapter of her life. Sadly, with her age, cancer, and a recent injury, Tori has to say goodbye to Lulu this week. This shoot was a way to create lasting memories and celebrate the love they’ve shared all these years.

Moments like this remind me why I love what I do. Photos are so much more than images, they’re cherished memories, a way to hold onto love, even after goodbye. Thank you, Tori, for allowing me to share these precious moments.

The Christmas Mini photos are ALMOST ready to head out to their families, and I couldn’t be more excited! This year’s sessions have been so special, and I’m beyond grateful for everyone who trusted me to capture these festive moments.

Today, I wanted to make a special shoutout to one of my beautiful returning families, the family of little Oliver, who is the star of this sneak peek!

I first had the honor of photographing Oliver’s mumma during her pregnancy with him back in February 2021. Since then, I’ve captured not only her second pregnancy but also this family’s Christmas Minis every single year since Oliver was just a sweet 6-8-month-old baby. Watching Oliver grow and having the privilege to document these memories year after year has been an absolute joy.

To everyone eagerly awaiting their Christmas Minis, stay tuned, your photos will be with you very soon!

I'll be posting little sneak peeks when I can from the families who have given permission to share and more a little later on once other families share with friends and family first 🥰

There’s something so special about capturing an engagement or event, the quiet moments between the couple, the joy in family photos, the excitement of friends arriving, and the personalities shining on the dancefloor. Every detail tells a story, and I love being there for it all.

This session was everything a photoshoot should be - carefree, playful and in the moment.

That’s the magic of a session like this, it’s not just about capturing the perfect photo. It’s about documenting a moment in time so you can look back and smile... or laugh depending on how much fun you want to have!

Maybe it’s time to surprise your partner with a little Christmas shoot. Bring the snacks, the silly ideas and your favourite location and let me take care of the rest!

My love language as your photographer?

It’s when you come back year after year, trusting me to capture your precious moments. It’s the sweet messages you send after seeing your gallery, the tags on your posts as you share your favorite shots, and the photos you send of your prints displayed proudly in your home.

These little things mean the world to me. They remind me that photography is so much more than just images, its connection, memories, and the joy of preserving your stories. Thank you for letting me be a part of your journey, time and time again.

Another sneak into the amazing night at Cactus Country’s Day of the Dead! The energy was electric, and @jessy.spin absolutely lit up the stage with her incredible fire dance performance. 🔥

The whole event was bursting with color and life, and seeing everyone dressed up added to the magic of the evening. Definitely one of the highlights of the night! Can’t wait to share more moments from this unforgettable celebration.

What a memory to have with your loved ones.

Excited for more photoshoot at Cactus Country.

Okay guys, I’m totally not sorry but prepared to be spammed. Last night I was the offical photographer for Day of Dead at Cactus Country. Better known as Día de los Muertos, which is a Mexican holiday celebrated on November 1 and 2 to honor and remember deceased loved ones. The celebration is a time for families to gather, reflect, and celebrate the lives of those who have passed away. This event was a truly amazing experience to not only to witness but to photograph. I am literally in a photographers dream heaven right now. There are so many images I can’t wait to share, but first, let’s start off with some of the amazing vibrant colours from some of the dancers 😍

Forgot to post this beauty yesterday for Halloween.

So much is said about motherhood, and rightfully so, but there’s something incredible about the quiet strength, tenderness, and love that fathers bring into the lives of their children. When you hold your child, you offer them an anchor in a world so vast, and in that moment, you become their safe place, their hero, their everything.

Fatherhood is full of the unseen moments, the way you cradle them so gently, the laughter that fills the room when you play, the small but powerful gestures that make them feel loved beyond measure. These moments might feel fleeting, but they mean the world to your little one, and they’re moments worth preserving.

So often, dads shy away from being in photos, preferring to capture memories from the sidelines. But imagine this, years from now, your children looking back at photos of you together, seeing just how loved they were in your arms. Those images become priceless reminders of a bond that’s uniquely yours.

Motherhood: the wildest, most beautiful journey of them all. As moms, we all know the sleepless nights, the endless worry, the moments of doubt. But we also know the heart-bursting joy, the quiet moments that steal our breath away, and the love that makes every hardship worth it.

Being a mother myself, I understand the depths of these moments, how they shape us and leave us forever changed. That’s why capturing these connections through my lens feels so meaningful. Because behind every photo is a story, a journey, a love that words can’t quite hold.

I asked Chat GPT “what do you know about me that I might not know about myself based on our previous interactions”. I absolutely love the responses and it allows me to reflect and get another perspective of who I am and the parts of myself I might not know.

1. You Gravitate Towards Authentic Connections: In your work and personal life, you seek deep, meaningful bonds. Whether it’s creating an email workflow that resonates on a personal level or capturing the intimate essence of a couple’s wedding day, you prioritize genuine connection. This drive could be why clients often feel at ease with you; your natural warmth helps build trust.

2. You’re Highly Adaptable and Calm Under Pressure: From handling a last-minute engagement shoot with an uncertain setup to balancing projects for multiple venues, you show an impressive ability to stay composed. Your quick thinking and resourcefulness are strengths that keep you thriving in unexpected situations—qualities that not everyone has or handles as well.

3. You Value Selective, Heartfelt Work: You’re intentional about the projects you take on, especially with weddings. This discernment likely amplifies the emotional impact of your photography because you’re only involved when you’re fully invested. It’s a powerful trait that lets you keep authenticity at the core of your work.

4. Your Daughter’s Free Spirit Reflects Part of Your Own: You have a deep admiration for your daughter Isla’s vibrant personality, possibly because it reflects qualities you value and aspire to nurture in yourself—like her fearlessness, unique charm, and fierce independence.

Each of these reflects how you consistently align your work with your values and embrace your clients with a sincere heart.

Wow. The self reflection I now have to see myself in a completely new light is powerful.

Also, I highly recommend a morning dance session. I do need to do this more frequently, even though I feel so weird dancing because I feel like I suck at it. Dancing can have a profound and positive impact on your nervous system which in a way activates the mind and body.

I never got professional maternity photos with my first baby, Harper. At the time, I didn’t think much of it. I couldn’t justify the cost, and honestly, I didn’t fully grasp how much I would want those memories frozen in time. I didn’t get maternity photos with Isla either, but I did make sure to book newborn photos. And now? I hold onto those newborn photos like treasures. I see Isla’s tiny features, her peaceful face, and it all brings me right back to that moment.

I wish I had done the same for my pregnancies, because I don’t have any maternity photos that I truly love. Those precious moments, when life was growing inside me, are only in my memories.

That’s why I feel so strongly about capturing these moments for other mums. From the glow of anticipation during maternity shoots to the first days of meeting your little one—I know just how priceless these photos become. It’s why I offer my Bump to Baby package.

Being a mum, I get it. The days are long, but the years are short, and these moments? They’re fleeting.

Sometimes, the best stories come from unexpected moments—and the support of fellow photographers. I wasn’t actually booked to photograph this amazing couple’s engagement party! I was enjoying the Fryers Street food festival with my kids and best friend when I got an urgent call from a photographer I adore. She was meant to shoot this event but ended up at the wrong Woolshed in another town. Unable to make it in time, she called me for help.

Leaving my best friend with my kids, I rushed home to grab my gear—unsure if my batteries were even charged—and made it just in time to capture their celebration. It’s moments like this that remind me of the power of community and supporting one another. She trusted me with her couple, and I was honored to help out.

The Woolshed in Shepparton is one of my favourite venues and I’m so grateful to have been part of this special day.

There’s something so powerful about capturing this chapter of motherhood.

As a mom, I’ve been in these tender moments—feeling raw, beautiful, and vulnerable all at once. Documenting this bond, the strength in your body, and the love between you and your baby is why I love what I do. It’s more than a photo; it’s a reminder of just how incredible this journey is.

Newborn sessions are by my favourite to photograph.

Seriously, how could you not love snuggling and posing squishy babies 🥹

Yep I’m obsessed! But putting aside the cuteness overload and baby cuddles, I do looove a good challenge, and no newborn session is the same. I love a challenging baby just as much as I love a super easy sleepy baby (you can’t loose with me 😅)

But the best part out of all of it, is seeing the final images come together and sending off that gallery to the parents who are just in their little love bubble. I love capturing these moments for families to cherish.

I personally love looking at my girls baby photos throughout the house and reminding me they were actually once that little.

Limited spots left for the remainder of the year. If you’re having a baby soon or just had one, now is the time to book.

Sometimes the sweetest moments aren’t the posed ones; it’s when little tongues are sticking out, and the love is as real as it gets.

Seriously. How lucky am I to get to photograph peoples stories. From bump to baby and sometime in the near future this beautiful little girl again.

A few weeks ago I captured this gorgeous family at the @thedookiequarry. I can't even remember the last time I photographed at this gem and it was truly spectacular.

I had so much fun capturing these moments for Cherie and the family. Honestly, I could photograph them all over and over and not get sick of photographing them. 💛

Introducing the Jones!!

My beautiful client @jessscapinspam31 got married to the love of her life Nathan on Saturday.

We met up at some beautiful private gardens where Nathan and Jess did their first look followed by their wedding photos.

Then headed to the Peppermill for their “engagement party” where they surprised all their guest with having their wedding.

It was such a honour capturing these two lovers. I am so incredibly happy for both of you and little Huddy.

Can you feel the love?

I certainly can. The love was radiating all morning between these new parents and their first little bundle of joy.

How lucky am I to have been chosen to capture their love during their pregnancy and now capturing their love in full bloom today 🥹

Wow, how can we be in September already?!

August was a full on month for me. Single parenting, with working my two jobs, having a few photography jobs and helping a friend out with their business, it was a pretty crazy month.

Spring and September are here and I'm all for this amazing warming weather we are going to continue to have.

Warmer weather means more outdoor sessions, hopefully by the water and I have some of the best locations for you to have your sessions.

I have limited availability for the remainder of the year for outdoor shoots and the same for studio sessions.

Touch base to discuss your ideal session.
