Family Photography That Feels Like Real Memories
A family photoshoot experience that’s fun, child-led and makes sure the whole family is involved. I combine a mixture of traditional, lifestyle and candid style images to naturally capture your family in all their glory. I pay attention to all the tiny details- the way your partner looks at you when you’re not paying attention, the way a toddler smiles with their whole face, the tenderness between mother and child. I encourage play and aim for connection over perfection. These are the photos you will cherish forever.
Relaxed Family Photography for Real Families
“My kids won’t cooperate”
“We’re awkward in photos”
“My partner hates photos”
Don’t worry, no family is unique in this way, and everyone has the same concerns in the beginning. My approach to family photography is relaxed and low pressure. I wont expect anyone to sit still for too long, its all about keeping things moving and staying connected with one another. Its a very dad friendly environment too!
Moody Storytelling Family Photography in Newcastle
As a passionate story teller, I incorporate moody lighting, nostalgic film tone editing and styling assistance to add emotion with tones and textures using clothing.

FAQs
What if my kids won’t cooperate during family photos?
1
Kids are expected to show up as themselves! These are not the kind of shoots where kids are expected to sit still. We’ll be playing and moving at all times. The sessions are child led, so its okay if someone has a melt down, doesn’t want to participate. We won’t rush or pressure anyone to get the shots. Try to let go of expectations and let the session roll out the way its meant to and i promise well get all those beautiful in-between moments.
What do we wear?

After the deposit has been paid and you’re all booked in, I’ll send you a client guide that goes over everything you need to know when preparing for your family photoshoot.
Im not sure my kids will last an hour, cant we just do a mini?
3
It’s actually the opposite! When doing a mini shoot theres a lot of pressure to perform, show up on time, have everything in order so that nothing goes wrong.. It’s added stress and honestly- not how i like to do things. An hour session allows for mishaps, tantrums, shy kids that need time to warm up. The best photos come at the end when they forget I’m taking photos, and are just enjoying the moment. If we manage to get them all in less than an hours time slot, awesome! There’s no pressure to stay for the whole hour, but its there if we need it.
Do you charge a travel fee?
