Capturing your Canterbury family’s story naturally with joyful photos
I’m a lifestyle photographer with over ten years of experience capturing the heartfelt, one-of-a-kind stories of families in and around Canterbury. While I also love documenting the quiet anticipation of maternity photography and the tender beauty of newborn photos, this space is all about the laughter, connection, and everyday magic of family life. With a background in writing, I’ve always been drawn to storytelling and now, I bring that narrative passion to my photography, capturing real moments that reflect your family just as you are. My style is relaxed and child-friendly, with a focus on making sessions feel natural and fun. Because these days, this stage, passes quickly, and I want to help you remember it beautifully.
Family photos in Canterbury
Canterbury, with its beautiful leafy streets and access to wonderful outdoor spaces like Canterbury Gardens and the nearby Yarra River parklands, provides a fantastic backdrop for capturing your family’s unique dynamic. My family photography sessions embrace a fun and adventurous spirit for your children, ensuring they see our time together as an enjoyable family outing rather than a formal photoshoot. Expect fun, games, and those genuine, nose-scrunching laughs that perfectly capture their personalities.
Whether your ideal family photos involve exploring the playgrounds and open spaces of Canterbury Gardens, embarking on a nature walk along the Yarra River, or enjoying the comfort of your Canterbury home, a backdrop that’s un undoubtedly part of your family’s narrative, I’m flexible and ready to capture your children’s natural interactions and joy, along with the beautiful connections within your immediate family. I won’t rush the process, allowing plenty of time for everyone to feel comfortable and for those authentic moments to unfold, resulting in beautiful photos with kids that you’ll treasure as genuine memories of this time in your lives. I especially love capturing these moments within your home. Each home is a part of who you are as a family and a part of your story.
Making memories on a Canterbury family adventure
I believe that the best family photography comes from genuine interaction and fun. Nothing forced or uncomfortable. For your kids, our session will feel more like a family adventure than a formal photoshoot. Think about what excites them most! Would it be splashing in the waves at a nearby beach, exploring the wonders of a forest, or simply having fun in the familiar comfort of your Canterbury home? We’ll tailor our adventure to their interests, capturing real smiles and connections along the way. These photos are about freezing this precious time, reminding you of these fleeting years.
Your Canterbury home can be the authentic setting for your story
I find immense joy in photographing families within the comfort of their own Canterbury homes. Your home is where your story unfolds daily, and it provides an inherently authentic backdrop for your family photos. Capturing your connections and everyday moments in these familiar spaces creates truly personal and meaningful memories that reflect your family’s unique narrative. I love that each family shoot is different, reflecting the unique characters within your family.
