Firstly you have found your person! I get it! I am a natural introvert and English (awkwardness is in my blood!) I believe this is why I make it my purpose to create a calm, judgement free environment that feels more like catching up with an old friend and the camera is just a little bonus.Here's just a few of the way's I'll help you loose the nerves and achieve natural family photos

Still need convincing? just head over to my Google reviews (written by 90% wonderful awkward folk!} x
- Prompted, Not Posed - I use gentle prompts that get you interacting with each other naturally
- Building a Genuine Connection - I love getting to know people and hearing their stories. Building that connection helps you feel comfortable and lets your true personality shine in photos.
- Encouraging Playfulness - I’ll suggest playful prompts and activities that make you forget the camera is even there, leading to those real, unguarded moments. (I've even had the most reluctant dads bust out the dance moves by the end of my sessions)
- Finding Joy in the Process - I love what I do, and my enthusiasm is contagious. My energy helps create a fun, joyful environment that makes the session feel like an experience, not a task.
- Letting Things Unfold Naturally - I give space for spontaneous moments, whether it’s a child’s giggle or a quick embrace. I capture what unfolds rather than forcing anything.
it's so lovely to meet you!
Melbourne FAMILY photographer
I'M KATY & HERE'S
MY STORY IN A nutshell
I grew up in the beautiful English Cotswolds. It’s the kind of place where homes are named “Mouse Hole Cottage” and the fields roll as far as the eye can see. It’s really quite magic.
I had a simple childhood, hanging out with my family on our farm and riding horses across the countryside. My partner often jokes that I was raised in a cult as I have no idea about 90's pop culture. No one ever wants me on their trivia team!
I've always been a free spirit...17 years ago, my deep desire to travel took me from the comforts of home, to the wilds of Africa - then to Melbourne on a total whim.
It’s here I met my love and built our life together with our two beautiful Cocker Spaniels boys, Ziggy & Sunny.
LET'S CHAT
My work is inspired by that timeless, nostalgic feeing of looking back through my old family photo box.
The grain, the blur from Dad's fingertip mistakenly covering the lens, that hazy, soft focus & those sun flares that dance across the image.
I break the rules & embrace the flaws...in fact, I seek them out.
It's funny, I spent years learning how to take the “perfect” photograph, and now I spend my days unlearning it all.
When I’m not behind the camera capturing other people’s stories, you’ll usually find me enjoying quiet moments with my own. I’m a bit of a homebody, content with slow mornings with my two beautiful dogs and partner, . I love long drives through the countryside, chasing sunsets by the beach and road-tripping across Melbourne for Marketplace finds!
My
LOVES
I cry when Ariel decides to no longer be a mermaid and walks away from her father. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

For years now, my Mum and I have sent sunrise & sunset photos to each other. Silly I know, but somehow I feel it connects us physically, and makes the world feel a little smaller.

I purchased my first SLR camera whilst travelling through Africa. In fact I blew 3/4 of my travel budget on it...

4 FUN FACTS ABOUT ME...
I have always dreamed of being a Broadway star. Only I was not blessed with coordination, or the ability to hold a note. (That dream will always live on!)
