I love taking beautiful photos, and I adore my job—but let’s be real, my life is far from the perfectly curated squares on Instagram. It’s beautifully messy, chaotic, and full of love (and probably a pile of washing somewhere in the house).
I’m 39, married to a wonderful guy named Nath, and we have three incredible kids—Evie, Anna, and Willem. Being a mum is the most incredible thing—but also, really hard. Since having my babies, I’ve had an internal wrestle between my pride and my self-esteem when looking in the mirror. Some days, I struggle to accept my body in its new form. Other days, I’m in complete awe of what it has done—creating, growing, and nourishing my family. I try to always come back to that when the self-doubt creeps in. Motherhood has changed me in ways I never expected, and I’m still figuring it all out as I go.
I ugly cry at TV ads (blaming sleep deprivation), I’ve played musical beds with my kids for the past eight years, and I always have laundry overflowing. Feeling more at ease? I hope so.
I’ve been a photographer for 15 years, and I still can’t believe I get to call this my job. I love beautiful things—peonies, old vintage sheets, and black-and-white images. I love babywearing, I drink coffee but prefer tea, and I have a weird obsession with vacuuming. Melbourne’s unpredictable weather makes me laugh, and while I can’t keep a houseplant alive to save my life, I can keep small humans and animals thriving—so I count that as a win.
Life is messy, wonderful, exhausting, and beautiful all at once—and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
What inspires me? You! That deep, overwhelming, gut-wrenching love you feel for your kids—the kind that sits in your bones and shapes your world. That’s what moves me. And believe it or not, one of my superpowers is capturing that love. Giving you a glimpse of just how deeply you love your kids (and how much they adore you) is what I do. It still amazes me that I get to freeze those feelings in time—it’s like creating magic.
A lot of photographers focus on making sure you fit into a certain aesthetic—coordinated outfits, perfectly curated poses, just right for their Instagram grid. That’s not my thing. Sure, I’ll give you styling and posing tips if you want them, but what I truly care about is capturing you. The real, raw, beautiful you. I want to create images that make your heart ache, sing, and smile all at once.
When we work together, you won’t feel like you’re playing a role or dressing up for a performance. You’ll walk away knowing the experience was authentic to you—your family, your love, your story.
And listen, I know family life is messy—mine is too! But that’s part of the magic. That chaos, that laughter, that fierce, unfiltered love—that’s what I want to document. One cup of tea at a time.
A few of my other favourite things (in no particular order): my Thermomix, peonies, clean sheet day, and staying up way too late for some "me time"—even though I know I’ll regret it the next morning!
Hot chips? Probably the most satisfying food on the planet. I love listening to acoustic covers, and every time I hear someone sing beautifully, I think, “Why, oh why, can’t I sing like that?” It’s a little sad, but true.
Co-sleeping and breastfeeding my girls are experiences I know I’ll never regret. They’re definitely some of my absolute favourite moments in life.
I’m a total homebody and love all things simple. I secretly wish I could knit (my old-person dream!), and honestly, I can’t get enough of wearing big, comfy granny undies—they’re just the best.
I’ve been a family, newborn, wedding, and birth photographer for a long time. In that time, I’ve found myself in some pretty tricky situations—but I’ve always managed to deliver the goods. Honestly, there aren’t many things I haven’t had to handle, which makes me super confident that I can capture beautiful, heart-melting photos during your family session—even if your kids are having a meltdown!
I’ve also been lucky enough to witness some of the most beautiful and intimate moments in people’s lives. From weddings in incredible spots around Australia to the birthing suite, watching babies take their first breath and seeing mamas in their newborn bubble... it’s all been pure magic.
Whether you're married, divorced, a same-sex couple, navigating additional needs, dealing with loss, or just the loudest, craziest family on the planet—I'm here for it! Every family, in all its beautiful forms, deserves to be documented.
