Capturing the beauty in everyday moments

I'm a Melbourne-based maternity, newborn and family photographer with over a decade of experience capturing love and joy between families. I absolutely love what I do and take a very relaxed approach to each of my sessions. Guiding you, making you laugh, and capturing the real you is my priority, as I understand that feeling natural in front of the camera isn't always easy. Each family has their own unique dynamic, and I love celebrating that in my images.

Capturing the heart of your family story

As a Melbourne-based photographer specialising in maternity, newborn, and family photography, I’ve spent over a decade documenting the beautiful, unscripted moments that make each family unique. My sessions are relaxed, playful, and guided—so even if you're not used to being in front of the camera, you’ll feel comfortable and at ease. Whether it’s the quiet bond between parents and a newborn, the joy of an expecting mum, or the laughter of siblings, I’m here to capture your story just as it unfolds—honestly and naturally. I also photograph weddings and engagements across Melbourne. Explore the suburbs I serve, read Melbourne photography tips, or see what families say in the client testimonials.

Maternity Photography

"Gill has taken my family photos on two occasions, and both times, she has been incredibly professional and patient, especially with my wriggly toddler. Her use of natural lighting in her photography creates such beautiful, timeless images, I am honestly in love with all the photos she has taken of our little family. I've even had some of them framed and displayed as large prints in my living room. Thank you, Gill, for beautifully capturing such a special time in our lives and transforming it into stunning photos we will treasure forever."

About Gill

Lifestyle photographer in Melbourne's Eastern suburbs

Hi, I'm Gill! Before I ever studied photography, I studied professional writing. This is so important to the way I approach each of my sessions, whether it be a maternity, newborn or family session. I bring these creative writing skills with me as I get to tell your individual story through photographs.

I live in the outer Eastern suburbs of Melbourne with my husband, our 2 kids and our 2 dogs. I love being with my family so when I'm not working, that's where you'll find me!

My lens has taken me to countless locations and homes throughout Melbourne, and I'm always eager to explore new settings that hold special meaning for you. Whether you have a beloved spot in mind or live in another part of Melbourne, I'm happy to travel and capture your story in the perfect location.

Over the years, I have photographed many different things but have always enjoyed photographing people the most. This is how maternity, family and newborn sessions (and older babies too, of course!) have become my specialty.

My approach to maternity, newborn, and family photography is all about capturing natural, genuine moments. I combine a relaxed atmosphere with subtle guidance, helping you feel comfortable while also maximising the beauty of the light and location. Many of my clients tell me they were surprised by how much they enjoyed their session, finding it far more comfortable and fun than they anticipated.

My family photography sessions are very relaxed. I do my best to make sure everyone feels comfortable in front of the camera and your kids have fun. Have a question about booking? See the photography FAQs.

"We had the most amazing experience with Gill for our newborn shoot! From start to finish, she was patient, gentle, and incredibly skilled at capturing the sweetest moments of our little one. She created an environment that was warm and welcoming, ensuring our baby was calm and comfortable throughout the session. The photos turned out absolutely stunning—each one perfectly capturing our baby's tiny details and expressions. The attention to detail and artistic eye made every shot feel so special. We couldn't be happier with the final images and will treasure them forever. If you're looking for a talented and professional photographer, we highly recommend Gill! Thank you for giving us such precious memories!"
