HOLD THE CHEESE!
As a lifestyle family photographer, I capture the essence of your family's everyday moments, transforming them into timeless visual stories. My approach is centred around creating a relaxed and natural environment, allowing genuine interactions and emotions to shine through. By blending artistry with authenticity, I deliver images that aren’t just pictures, but cherished memories that you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
Investing in my services means giving your family the gift of beautifully curated memories to share and reflect upon for years to come. Let’s create something special together.
The Photography Experience
We Chat
Getting to know the people that are welcoming me into their private little corner of life is very important to me. Sending through an enquiry to set up a phone call is step number one. Ill go over in detail with you my process and ill learn about your family and what you imagine your collection to look like. From there we can find a time that works for us both and start the planning process.
We Have Fun
Once weve chosen a date and the deposit has been paid, we can choose a location. I have a few favourite spots and recommendations for a lush outdoor setting, but I always get the most out of the family photo sessions held at the family home.
People always assume their home isnt clean or trendy enough to hold it in their home. If your home is well lit and is full of love, its perfect. Chuck all the mess in baskets and out of the way and were good to go!
Of course the beach is always a good choice, but not as fun to look back on when the kids are all grown up!
During the photoshoot ill direct you with prompts, well play and get everyone involved in some bonding activities. The day will be lead by the children and how they are feeling, with plenty of time for breaks if anyone needs it.
Before your session, I'll send you a full detailed prep guide to help you with everything you might need. And just know, I AM HERE FOR YOU! Your job is simply to have fun, trust me, and let me capture these timeless memories for you.
We Make Art
Looking back on our photo session together and editing your images to perfection is such a joy for me. Seeing the final product come to life is one of the most satisfying parts of the process!
Once I’ve narrowed down the session to the best 50 images, I’ll deliver a slideshow that gives you a sneak peek into what I’ve been working on. This is your chance to select your favourites, and once you’ve made your choices, I’ll add the final retouches and polish to make them truly shine. After that, they’re all yours!
My collections are designed with convenience in mind, allowing you to order prints and other products online. There’s nothing better than seeing your images come to life as a quality print—whether it’s a stunning piece of wall art or a beautiful photobook. Let’s move those cherished memories off your phone (where they might sit unnoticed among thousands of other photos) and into your hands with the quality they deserve.
Digital files are, of course, included, but I also provide a print credit for an online store based in Melbourne that delivers right to your door. This makes the process streamlined and simple, so you can enjoy your photos the way they’re meant to be—off the screen and into your life!

“I highly recommend using Billie-jean for family photos. We had Billie- Jean come to our home for a family photoshoot and felt very comfortable and at ease with her there. We wanted candid and natural looking photos which is exactly what we got. She was more than accommodating and was happy to include our fur babies in the photos.
The photos were of high quality and we felt it was great value for our money.
Thank you again Billie-Jean.”

“We cannot recommended Billie more! We booked Billie for a new born photoshoot with our two week old baby. I found Billie on instagram and absolutely LOVED her work. We exchanged messages and i loved what she was offering. She came to our home and made us feel so comfortable, especially because our Bub was unsettled throughout. What stood out for us is Billie’s type of photography, it was exactly what I was looking for. She captured all the beautiful features of our little man perfectly. Prior to attending our home, she sent us a personalised pinterest board of what she had planned for our session! In the package we purchased, we were provided 60 photos & we ended up purchasing the photos from the website which are fantastic quality. We will definitely be booking Billie for all future family photo’s. She’s incredible!”

I could not be happier with the photos I got from Billie-Jean. She was very warm and professional, and she helped us feel comfortable during the photoshoot. The photos are timeless and very special. I'm very happy with the whole experience. I would 100% recommend her for family photos.
