Picking a photographer can be hard, the last thing you want is to go through all the effort and come out with boring photos that don’t show your families true personalities and connections.
My vibe is fun but focused (no pun intended). I’m super real, as making a real connection allows you to let loose and be your true selves together. No stress, no worry!!
I believe in capturing authentic, love filled photos and making you look damn good in the process.
I’ve been photographing love, joy and yes; the occasional bout of tears for over 18 years!
Having this much experience allows me to stay calm under pressure and know just what to do in any situation. You can relax knowing I’m focused on creating a stress-free and fun vibe. When the atmosphere is like this, the magic can flow and we can have a super enjoyable experience working together.
I see every session as a chance to share an epic adventure with lots of laughs along the way!!
I’ve photographed people in just about everywhere in our beautiful Newcastle and Hunter region. I know the best spots for family sessions, maternity and anything else you can think of. I love our hometown and would love a chance to show you around and find a special place for your photos. Some of my favourite locations include Morpeth Park with its gorgeous green grounds and big old fig trees and Paterson Park with a very forest and European feel.
I’ve been booking more and more larger family groups this year, and honestly… they can be a little crazy, a little chaotic and wonderfully messy — but in the absolute best possible way. 😂❤️
And I LOVE it.
These are the sessions where I get to capture the real connections between the people who mean the most to you. The grandparents, siblings, cousins, the kids running in every direction, the cuddles, the laughs and all those little moments that happen when everyone is finally together.
Because sometimes the most beautiful family photographs aren’t perfectly posed. They’re the ones that remind you exactly what it felt like to have everyone together.
Over Christmas, I’m holding a few special times for larger family groups — particularly for those families who may only all be together once or twice a year.
If you’re planning a family Christmas and know this might be one of those rare occasions when everyone is together, why not make sure you have photographs to treasure long after the Christmas decorations have been packed away?
A little Christmas weather insurance 🌿
I’m also opening some special larger-family session times on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th November, with River Haus in Morpeth available as an optional nearby backup location if the weather decides not to cooperate.
It’s just a short walk up the road, which means we have a beautiful alternative without having to completely reschedule everyone — because I know how difficult it can be to find another date when you’re coordinating a whole family.
These sessions are about capturing your family as they really are — the beautiful, noisy, chaotic, connected version. 🤍
If you’re bringing the family together this Christmas, DM me to chat about securing a time. I’d love to help you make sure these rare moments are captured and treasured for years to come.
Such a special time to capture. There’s something amazing about this time. Thanks for having me! Booking maternity and newborn sessions now!!

I am super excited as the countdown begins for these fun sessions offering shelter a fun family experience in the gorgeous river haus where I will sprinkle some Christmas magic and capture some fun memories of the kids baking cookies, playing together in the garden and porch swing making sure I capture all the combinations needed to fill the Christmas tree with gifts for everyone.

Our Christmas Story at River Haus 🎄
If you’ve been saying “we really need some updated family photos” but keep putting it off… this is your sign.
I’ve opened up a limited number of mini sessions at the beautiful River Haus in Morpeth on Saturday 7th & Sunday 8th November.
And here are 3 reasons I think you’ll love them:
1. They’re not just Christmas photos
Yes, there’ll be a little Christmas magic, but you don’t have to go all-out Christmas. River Haus has beautiful spaces, gardens, the swing and plenty of opportunities for natural family photos that you’ll love long after Christmas is over.
2. They’re relaxed and actually fun
No standing around trying to get everyone to “look at the camera” for 20 minutes. We’ll mix in cuddles, movement, laughs, little moments between you and the kids and a few beautiful portraits too. I’ll guide you when needed and let the rest happen naturally.
3. You’ll have beautiful memories of this stage of your family
Because the kids won’t always be this little. Their personalities, the way they cuddle you, those little smiles and the way they interact with each other… these are the things I want to capture.
And at $225, it’s a lovely way to update your family photos before the end of the year.
