Your Melbourne family, captured with heart

Being a Melbourne lifestyle photographer for over 10 years has taught me one big thing, the best family photos come from real moments, not stiff poses. Whether it’s a quiet cuddle on the couch or a wild game of chase in your backyard, I’m here to capture your family’s unique story in a relaxed and natural way.

While I also love photographing the glow of maternity sessions and the sweet newness with newborn photos, this space is all about the magic of everyday family life, right here in Melbourne. Before photography, I studied writing, and now I mix both passions to tell your story through beautiful, honest imagery.

My sessions are laid-back and kid-friendly (think fun adventures, not forced smiles), and I’ll guide you gently while letting your family’s personality shine. These are the little moments you’ll want to hold onto because your kids won’t be this little forever. So don’t wait for perfect. Let’s capture the joy, chaos, and love that makes your family yours, just as you are.

Family photos in Melbourne

Melbourne is packed with amazing backdrops for family photography, from lush parks and leafy gardens to the buzzing laneways of the city, or even peaceful escapes like the Dandenong Ranges and Mornington Peninsula. It’s the perfect playground for capturing your family just as you are: relaxed, connected, and having a great time.

My family photo sessions in Melbourne are designed to feel more like a fun outing than a formal photoshoot, especially for your little ones. Whether we’re adventuring through the Royal Botanic Gardens, racing through Fitzroy Gardens, skipping stones along the Yarra River, or keeping it cosy at home in your Melbourne suburb, I’ll follow your family’s rhythm and energy. There’s no rush and no pressure, just time to play, connect, and let your personalities shine.

For beautiful family photos I’ll gently guide you with light and location, but the magic really happens in the real stuff: the laughter, the cuddles, the chaos. The result? Beautiful, honest photos with kids that freeze this chapter of your family’s story, exactly as it is.

Let’s capture the magic of your Melbourne family

The best family photos don’t come from perfect poses, they come from real moments filled with joy, silliness, and connection. That’s why my sessions are designed to feel like a fun, laid-back adventure, especially for your kids. The goal? For them to be so busy having a blast, they forget there’s even a camera around.

So, where do your little ones light up most? Is it racing through your local Melbourne park, getting messy in the backyard, or snuggling up for stories in your living room? Wherever your family feels most like you, we’ll build a session around that, capturing the laughter, love, and little in-between moments that make this season of life so special.

And please don’t wait for the “perfect time”, the weather, the milestone, the matching outfits. Life is happening right now. Your kids won’t remember if the sun was out or if their socks matched, but they will remember how it felt to be held, to be loved, and to belong. Let’s freeze a little of that magic in time, while it’s still unfolding.

Real family moments, right at home in Melbourne

There’s something truly special about capturing family photos in your own Melbourne home. It’s where giggles echo through hallways, toys scatter across the floor, and everyday memories quietly unfold. Your Melbourne home is more than just a backdrop, it’s the heart of your family’s story.

By photographing your family in a space you know and love, we create a relaxed and natural vibe that allows everyone to just be themselves. No stiff poses, no pressure, just genuine connection and joy. Every family photography session I do in Melbourne is different because every family brings their own rhythm, quirks, and charm. I love discovering what makes your crew unique and turning those honest, unscripted moments into timeless images you’ll always treasure.
