Family Photographer

Your Family As They Are In This Moment…A chance to remove yourself from the normal day to day grind, to be present without any distraction and let me take care everything for you.

Let’s Get You In The Frame

As a mum, I often find myself scrolling through family pictures and realise… I’m not actually in any of them.

When your child sees themselves reflected in a family photo with you, their sense of belonging is strengthened.

So my goal is to send you home with tangible reminders of all your family milestones – this time with you in the pictures too!

Your Family

Your Session

More than just a photoshoot, your session is a safe space for your family to be your true authentic selves. To tell your story, to capture your little magic moments...no idea is too crazy!

Your Family As Art

Meet Your Portrait Artist

Mother of two fierce, highly rambunctious, primary school girls and fine art creator and award-winning Canberra family photographer.

I've been capturing Canberra families of all shapes and sizes since 2014. 

My mission is simple. To hold a safe space for your family to be your true authentic selves. To tell your story, to capture your little magic moments. To fill your home with photos that show how loved you are, and how much your family loves you in return...

In the midst of my creatively chaotic world, where my neurodivergence adds an extra splash of magic, I navigate the colorful tapestry of family stories, connect authentically and capturing the genuine magic and love that make your family truly one-of-a-kind.

It all started on the day 

I received the call

 

Without even realising, they managed to talk me off a ledge. Talking to them was like I had a friend.

It was the first time in a long time, in a very long time that I didn't feel totally alone.

Then coming into the studio, we were greeted like lifelong friends. the way every single person in the studio totally embraced my little family, my extremely wild little girl, my very quiet teen, my special little babe and my total awkwardness.

Just wanted to say thank you for being some of the most amazing people I have ever met. Thank you for my beautiful photos.

Thank you for embracing the different personalities of my family.
