Capturing your Blackburn family with fun and relaxed photos
I’m a photographer based near Blackburn with over a decade of experience capturing the beautiful and unique stories of families. While I also specialise in documenting the anticipation of new life with maternity photography and the delicate wonder of newborn photos, this page is dedicated to celebrating the joy and connection of family through natural and relaxed photography sessions right here in Blackburn. Before I found my passion in photography, I spent years studying writing, and now I blend these two loves, visual storytelling and the written word, to truly capture the essence of each family I photograph. My approach is laid-back, prioritising your comfort and creating a fun adventure for your kids. No awkward poses that make everyone uncomfortable!
Family photos in Blackburn
The welcoming atmosphere of Blackburn, combined with its access to natural spaces such as Blackburn Lake Sanctuary and the nearby Dandenong Ranges National Park, creates a perfect backdrop for your family’s unique story. My family photography approach prioritises fun and engagement for your kids, ensuring a relaxed adventure where we capture your genuine connections and the beauty of your everyday life.
Whether your ideal family photos involve exploring the natural beauty of Blackburn Lake Sanctuary, embarking on a mini-adventure in the scenic Dandenong Ranges just a short drive from Blackburn, enjoying a relaxed time at a local park, or simply being yourselves in the comfort of your Blackburn home, a backdrop that’s a part of your unique story, I’m flexible and ready to capture your family’s authentic interactions. I won’t rush you, allowing plenty of time for everyone to feel comfortable and for those genuine smiles and laughter to unfold, resulting in beautiful photos with kids that you’ll treasure for years to come. I especially love capturing these memories in your home, as it provides a backdrop that’s truly a part of your family’s story. These photos are about capturing this time in your lives, creating memories you can share with your kids in the future.
