Hi There! I’m Janet
After years of photographing my own little ones in their early years, what started as a creative outlet grew into Canberra’s Leading Newborn & Family Photography Studio.
So much of my heart and time goes into making sure my kids have the best possible start in life. When your child sees themselves reflected in a family photo, their sense of belonging in the home and in your lives is strengthened.
So from the moment your family starts growing, I want to help you capture all the magic of the journey to display in your home forever.
Your Personalised Experience
Unique to Your Family
The difference between stunning images that capture your family at their finest, and forced smiles in awkward poses, is being able to truly connect with your photographer.
My job is to craft a joyful experience that brings out the best in your whole family. From designing your session around your unique family dynamic to keeping your kids entertained and engaged during your session.
More than just a photoshoot, this is a chance to remove yourself from the normalcy, be present with your family and most of all capture all the details that make up your tiny human, frozen in time forever.

Hannah has a deep love for understanding people. She admits that she loves to understand them so that she can look for how she can help them achieve their goals. She has a degree in Anthropology, which helps her with this endeavour. And is currently working towards a Bachelor of Visual Arts.
Hannah has a background in photography and also loves interior design. She and her partner spent a lot of their time last year decorating the apartment to fit her dark and moody aesthetic. While she’s usually dressed in large round glasses and dark colours, on the inside Hannah’s personality is warm, bright and she sees the best in absolutely everyone. Hannah is a lover of dogs and cats alike and spends her evenings and weekends at home with her partner and her two cats, or out for brunch in Kingston with her friends.
Hannah’s caffeinated drink of choice is a latte (largest that they’ve got!), no sugar. She proclaims, “I’m very basic”.
