There's a moment that changed everything for me.
It was the first time I held my baby boy. Looking down at his tiny face, I was overwhelmed — not just with love, but with panic! I never want to forget a single detail of this. Not the weight of him. Not how it felt to be his mum in that very first moment. I knew then that I wanted to bottle it all up forever.
That feeling is a big part of why I do what I do.
I'm a family photographer and filmmaker based in Woodend, in the beautiful Macedon Ranges.
I live here with my husband and our two boys, and after eight years of adventures (including a long chapter in London), this corner of Victoria is now home... and I'm so glad it is.
I've been captivated by photographs and home videos for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I'd spend hours with my parents flipping through old photo albums, listening to the stories behind the faces. Those moments taught me something I've never forgotten: images are one of the most powerful ways we pass love down through generations.
That's what I want to do for your family.
My work isn't about perfect.
It's about real. The in-between moments. The ones that can feel messy and ordinary while you're living them, but that you'll long to find your way back to one day. The way your child reaches for your hand. The laugh you know by heart. The bits no one thinks to photograph, but should.
If you've ever watched an old home video and felt your throat catch, you already understand what I'm chasing.
I capture real moments in the places that matter most, with the people who matter most. And I make photos and films that feel like a memory, not a photoshoot.
A session with me is a chance to pause.
To breathe. To look at the people you love most and just be with them, while I document all of it. These images and films aren't just for you — they're for your children, and their children. A keepsake of the laughter, the hugs, and the details that make up your life together right now.
I believe you are more than enough. And I want to show you just how much love fills your everyday — especially the parts you don't always notice yourself.
I'm based in the Macedon Ranges but a traveller at heart, and I'm happy to go wherever your story takes us. If any of this speaks to you, I'd love to get to know your family.
Let's create something beautiful together.
