What types of photography do you offer?
I specialise in warm, natural portraits of families, children and newborns, along with celebration and Christmas sessions. Whether it is a milestone, a new baby or simply capturing your family as they are right now, every session is relaxed and unhurried, with plenty of room for genuine moments and real personalities to shine.
Where are you based and where do you photograph?
I work from a relaxed in-home studio in Ballarat, and photograph on location around Creswick, Clunes and the surrounding areas. If you are nearby and unsure whether I cover your area, just get in touch and ask, I am always happy to travel a little for the right session.
Do you offer in-home studio sessions?
Yes. My in-home studio is a calm, comfortable space, which is especially lovely for newborns and young children who feel more settled somewhere quiet and warm. If you would prefer a natural outdoor setting instead, we can plan an on-location session in a spot that suits your family.
How do I book a session?
Simply send an enquiry through the form on this page with a little about your family and the portraits you have in mind. I will be in touch to talk through the details, answer any questions and find a date that works for you, so everything feels easy from the very first message.
What should we wear or bring?
Soft, comfortable clothing in gentle, complementary tones tends to photograph beautifully and keeps the focus on your family. For little ones, favourite toys or comforters are always welcome. If you would like a hand planning outfits before your session, just ask, I am happy to help you feel prepared and relaxed.
