Session flow ~ families
Each session has a natural flow to keep things feeling fun and easy. We’ll start with a few portraits while everyone is fresh, ensuring we capture those classic moments before little hands get sandy or hair catches in the breeze. Then, it’s time to let loose—playtime! Whether it’s climbing rocks, chasing the waves, giving piggyback rides, or simply running wild, this part of the session is all about movement, laughter, and the energy of the moment. Toward the end, we’ll bring things back in for some quiet, heartfelt moments—cuddles, gentle embraces, and winding down together as the sun sets. This rhythm allows me to capture both the joyful chaos and the soft, intimate moments that make your story so special.

I am so glad you're here!
I believe the most beautiful moments are the ones we feel—the fleeting glances, the soft touches, the laughter that fills the air. As a photographer, my passion is capturing these raw, genuine connections, turning them into timeless images that you can hold onto forever.
I’m a mumma myself, so I know just how quickly these seasons pass. The little hands in ours, the sleepy newborn snuggles, the wild and free childhood days—these are the moments we never want to forget. That’s why I do what I do.
I’m lucky to call Port Stephens home, surrounded by stunning beaches, golden light, and the perfect backdrops for storytelling. Whether it’s a growing bump, tiny newborn fingers, or a family running barefoot on the sand, I’m here to document your story in a way that feels natural and real.
Photography isn’t just about pretty pictures—it’s about remembering how it felt. If that’s what you’re looking for, I’d love to create something special for you.
Let’s tell your story together.

Please try not to leave it too late! Reach out around 30 weeks to pencil in a date. I am flexible with this date as we know bubbas have their own agenda when it comes to arrival dates!
Newborn sessions are best held within the first month if you are after sleepy bubba pictures —
perfect for snuggly, sleepy photos and those fleeting newborn details.
