YOUR Family
ARTFULLY CAPTURED
My natural family photography is about more than just capturing a picture; it’s about preserving the essence of who you are together. The love, the chaos, the joy, and everything in between. These beautiful family portraits will remind you of this time in your lives—the way it felt to be in this moment, with the people who mean the most to you. And when you look back on these family portrait photos, you’ll see not just how your family looked, but how deeply you loved each other.
My outdoor family photography allows your family to roam free, whether it’s a beachy adventure, a dance through a field, or a wander through Melbourne’s beautiful natural landscapes. The fresh air and open spaces bring out the joy and spontaneity that make for the most timeless family portrait photography.
My family photography at home offer a more intimate, relaxed feel, where your family can truly be themselves in the space where you share your most meaningful moments. From morning cuddles in bed to playful moments hanging on the deck (a favourite BTW), these lifestyle family photoshoots capture the beauty of your everyday life.

As your outdoor family photographer I am here to capture the essence of who you are—wild, free, and full of love. I don’t expect forced smiles or perfect behaviour (I have a soft spot for a little 'sass'!). All I ask is for you to be your authentic selves. Outdoor family photography with me is about being present. For one hour, you’ll immerse in the moment and reconnect. Run barefoot with your children, feel the grass beneath your feet, or splash in the sea. Let go and just be, even if just for a little while. That’s what my outdoor family portraits are all about—capturing your true essence.
We’ll adventure to beaches, wander through the fields, and embrace the beauty of Melbourne’s nature. My approach to outdoor family photography is relaxed and organic—gently guided but never posed. I set the scene and let the session unfold (usually lead by the children) capturing the magic of childhood in its purest form. From laughter to tears, joy to tantrums, it's a safe space to honour your family, exactly as you are.
At the heart of it all is connection—breathe it in, feel it, and let it guide the way.

FAQ's
01
what's your shooting style?
I’ll take a warm, relaxed yet intentional approach to our shoot together. My photography style is candid and un-posed, but I will position you in a beautifully lit spot and ask you to play, tickle, cuddle or whisper something silly to your loves.
I'll rarely ask you to look at me, and will often quietly walk around while you are busy 'doing you.' I pride myself on creating a quiet, open space for you to connect deeply, while letting me in enough to shoot those magic little moments.
I’m all about capturing the essence of your love and connection in a simple, beautiful way.

What if the kids play up?
Having been a nanny for years, I completely understand your concern! But I promise you don't need to worry.
Kids are high energy and unpredictable, and if they are not loving the camera on the day then boy, will we know about it! Just know my sessions are super relaxed, I'm armed with patience, and even have a few little tricks up my sleeve to keeps your little one engaged.
Please remember, even in the chaos there are moments of pure love...those moments won't be missed by me

what if the weather is bad?
It's no secret golden skies are my favourite to shoot. But let's be real - this is Melbourne. The weather is famous for keeping us on our toes! The truth is, I love all weather conditions - the wind, the soft light of an overcast day, the rainbow after a shower, and the incomparable mood just before a storm. It's all magic. And I'm happy to embrace what nature has in store for us.
But if the rain is pouring or it's freezing cold on the day, we can look at rescheduling your session to an alternative time or day.

Katy is a legend! Not only is her aesthetic beautiful, but she goes the extra mile to ensure you get the shot—the right lighting, the right laugh, the right unscripted moment .
I don't quite know how she does it, but she's able to capture the raw beauty and love in every shot (across multiple families) and we can't wait to work with her again <3
