Capturing your Hawthorn family with heartfelt family photos
With over a decade of experience as a lifestyle photographer, I’m passionate about documenting the unique beauty of families in and around Hawthorn. While I also specialise in the tender anticipation of maternity photos and the quiet magic of newborn photos, this page is dedicated to celebrating family life, honest, joyful, and deeply connected through relaxed, natural photo sessions in Hawthorn.
Before discovering photography, I spent years immersed in writing, and today I blend both passions with visual storytelling and the written words to capture the true essence of every family I meet. My approach is gentle, focused around your kids, and centred on making you feel comfortable and at ease. Each session is an experience designed to feel more like an adventure than a photoshoot, especially for your kids. These are the moments that pass by so quickly, and my goal is to help you hold onto them before they become memories.
Family Photos in Hawthorn
Hawthorn, with its beautiful parks like Hawthorn West Oval and Yarra Bend Park nearby, along with its charming residential streets, offers wonderful settings for capturing your family’s unique dynamic. My family photographer sessions embrace a fun and adventurous spirit for your children, ensuring they see our time together as a family adventure. The goal is to capture genuine interactions and the natural rhythm of your family life right now. I’ll offer gentle guidance to make the most of the lovely Hawthorn locations and beautiful light, but ultimately, the focus will be on capturing your family’s authentic interactions and unique personalities.
Whether your ideal family photos involve exploring the playgrounds and open spaces of Hawthorn West Oval, enjoying a scenic walk along the Yarra River near Hawthorn, or embracing the comfort of your Hawthorn home, I’m flexible and ready to capture your children’s natural interactions and joy. 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 real memories of this time in your lives. I especially love shooting in your home, as it provides a backdrop that’s truly a part of your family’s story.
Everyday magic, captured in Hawthorn
I believe that the best family photography comes from genuine interaction and fun. For your kids, our session will feel more like a tailored adventure than a formal photoshoot. Think about what excites them most! Would it be running around Hawthorn West Oval, exploring the trails of Yarra Bend Park, or simply having fun together in your living room? We’ll craft an adventure specifically suited to their interests, capturing real smiles and connections along the way with memorable family photos. These photos are about freezing this precious time, reminding you of these fleeting years.
Little moments, big memories in Hawthorn
I find immense joy in photographing families within the comfort of their own Hawthorn 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.
