We Don't Have Time
“We don’t have time” I get it, my life is filled with a list of places the kids need to be and weekend activities. Booking a photo shoot seems almost impossible. Guess what? I’m here to make it easy to capture those memories.
I get it. I am constantly juggling after school activities with the kids, the weekends seem to be filled with things for weeks on end.
Booking in a photo shoot just goes into the ‘do it soon’ basket.
“We don’t have time”
How long do you think it takes?
A session with me is not going to swallow your whole day. Typically, a family session lasts around 60-90 minutes. We move around, we have fun and it’s all very relaxed. Think of your session more as a fun hour with your family, no phones, no technology, just connection and giggles.
We’ve already missed so much
With two years of lockdowns and uncertainty behind us, we have already missed out on making these precious memories for too long. Our kids are already so much bigger. Time is not slowing down and they seem to grow and change so much . I don’t know about you, but I seem to be adding to the kids wardrobes so frequently as they outgrow things!
Waiting for a special occasion?
Often, my beautiful families book in because it’s a special birthday for someone, or they’re celebrating an anniversary. That’s great! But, I ma here to tell you that the occasion is right there already. Your beautiful family is together. Don’t wait for an excuse, you don’t need one.
A simple booking process
I understand how busy life gets and I am here to make this process as simple as possible. Fill out a contact form (there’s one below!) and I’ll reply with a little welcome along with some available dates. Choose your date & I’ll do the rest. From location ideas, to tips on what to wear, all you’ll need to do is turn up.
Get in touch, i’d love to make some magical memories with you,

Together, at home
At home photography sessions in Port Macquarie and surrounding areas on the Mid North Coast. Relaxed family photography sessions capturing the magic and memories with your loved ones in your home.
The last few weeks have seen me travel to both Comboyne and Hartys Plain for at home sessions.
Before I continue I need to point out that in home sessions are just as beautiful whether you have magnificent views on acreage or live in an apartment in town. What makes in home sessions beautiful is that they are so personal to you. Full of memories and bursting with your personalities.
If you’ve been following along on my Instagram page you’ll have already seen a sneak peek at some recent in home session images. Often I have never been to the locations before, so when I arrive for your session we have a quick walk and chat about special places in your home so that we can incorporate them into your gallery, and I can get a good idea of the aesthetics and what will look stunning.
I also send out a little questionnaire when you book your session which allows you to tell me a little bit about your family and any special moments you’d like to try and capture.
Each relaxed session lasts around 60-90 minutes which allows for a great variety of photographs around your home. I love to take time with individual members and couples within the family too to create a bespoke gallery which is a beautiful collection for the whole family.
Sometimes an at home session is all shot outdoors, sometimes we do a mixture of both indoors and out. Typically newborn at home sessions are mostly indoors. It’s beautiful to photograph in baby’s nursery and capture those special teddies and trinkets, a chair you cosy up in at feeding time, baby’s cot, those special blankets.
Another benefit of having your session at home is that you don’t need to go anywhere!
So, have you ever considered an at-home photo shoot? I’d love to come to your place.
Get in touch today to check availability and book your date. You can contact me via the contact form here or give me a call on 0488157919.
In the meantime, enjoy this collection of photographs, all from at home sessions.

Flowers? Yes please!
What’s not to love about flowers? Feel-good beauty in each unique petal, stunning scents and an array of amazing colours.
One of my other most favourite things is photographing awesome people, so you can imagine my excitement when I got to combine the two a few weeks ago working on a project for Zeller at the incredible Thistle Flowers.
Matt and Chris, like myself, are fairly new to Port Macquarie and have recently moved in alongside the stunning Hollow Store on Murray Street.
The space is relaxed and calm, the lighting soft and the welcome is warm. I was fortunate to be able to photograph Matt and Chris over an hour of their busy morning and it’s instantly obvious how much care and love they pour into their work. Each bouquet is thoughtfully designed, every stem placed for maximum effect.
I was lucky enough to glimpse some wedding flowers which Matt & Chris were prepping, the flower crowns were so detailed and utterly beautiful.
Not only do they show their fresh, locally grown flowers a whole lot of love and care, that same welcome is evident for every person who walked into the store. A friendly chat, lots of smiles and a wealth of knowledge about their trade.
So much pretty! I could go on and on with sharing photos from the morning, it was such a joy to be there and to meet Chris, Matt and the Hollow Store team too.
