A Special Baptism Day 💙

There’s something incredibly special about documenting milestones like baptisms: a beautiful mix of tradition, family connection, and heartfelt emotion.

I recently had the honour of photographing this sweet boy’s baptism, and I’m still smiling thinking about how lovely he was throughout the day. Dressed in the most adorable white outfit and surrounded by so much love, he was calm, curious, and oh-so-photogenic!

The ceremony took place in a beautiful church in Hawthorn, filled with soft light and warm moments. After the ceremony, we took some relaxed family portraits just outside.

Baptism photography is such a meaningful way to preserve not only the event but also the emotions and connections that come with it. If you're planning a baptism for your baby and want those precious memories captured in a natural and heartfelt way, I’d be honoured to be part of it.

Holiday Family Photos: A Gorgeous Session on the Mornington Peninsula

This lovely family traveled all the way from Singapore to Australia for their holiday and stayed at a charming hotel on the Mornington Peninsula, making it the perfect location for family photos. If you're looking for a family photoshoot in beautiful spots like the Mornington Peninsula, I’d love to capture your special moments. Whether you're local or visiting from abroad, a family session is a wonderful way to preserve your vacation memories.

Shoreham Maternity Session

I had such a wonderful time capturing this maternity session in Shoreham on the Mornington Peninsula. Shoreham is the perfect location for your family photoshoot, offering a stunning mix of a peaceful pine forest and a beautiful beach, providing breathtaking backdrops all in one session. And just look at this gorgeous mama and her family—they were an absolute joy to photograph.

Spring Family Session

Spring is the perfect time to capture your family’s special moments! With fresh blooms, vibrant greenery, and soft natural light, outdoor sessions this season are simply magical. One of the best things about early spring sessions is that sunsets are still early, well before daylight savings kicks in. If you have little ones, this is the ideal time to book a family shoot! You’ll enjoy that gorgeous golden hour glow without pushing past their bedtime. It’s a win-win for creating beautiful memories while keeping the kids happy.

Maternity photo session in Dandenong Ranges

It was a perfect session: soft, golden light, a stunning location and a beautiful family. Capturing the journey of motherhood in such a natural setting is truly special. The Dandenong Ranges, with their breathtaking beauty, provide the perfect backdrop for stunning photographs.

Winter Maternity Sessions at Flinders

It was absolutely worth braving the winter chill with this wonderful family! Flinders is one of my favorite spots for photo sessions. The stunning landscapes, soft winter light, and cozy knits added a special touch to the photos. Plus, winter at Flinders means fewer crowds, so we had the freedom to explore and find the best locations without any interruptions. I can't wait to capture more beautiful moments in this amazing setting!

Cake Smash Session

A cake smash session is a fun and memorable way to celebrate your baby’s first year.

We’ll start by getting your baby comfortable in front of the camera with some warm-up shots. This helps them relax and lets us capture some sweet family moments. Then, it’s on to the main event—the cake smash! Your baby will have a blast exploring and enjoying their birthday cake, and I’ll be there to capture all the adorable, messy moments.

After the cake smash, we’ll wrap up with a splash in the bath. It’s a great way to clean up and adds even more fun to the session.

If you’re excited to capture these special moments, get in touch with me today to book your session. Let’s make some unforgettable memories together!

In-home newborn session

Seeing my clients year after year and capturing the changes in their lives is one of the most rewarding parts of this job.

Studio family session

While newborn photos are usually taken within the first two weeks, life can be unpredictable, right? Don’t worry! Whether your little one is 2 weeks or 10 weeks, every moment is special, and I’m here to capture those memories along the way. This adorable girl is 10 weeks old, and I can’t get enough of her sweet smiles!
