Welcome to 2025, My 17th Year as a Newborn and Family Photographer in Melbourne!

I feel so blessed that my little business is now in it’s 17th year. I started my business when my son was only 4 years of age when I purchased my first digital SLR camera and became the offical photographer for our local playgroup in Highett.

I’ve always loved photography and learnt the art with my old trusty film camera way back when, I even had my own darkroom. To be able to do this in a full time capacity and be there for our son’s upbringing has been a dream come true.

Obviously there have been many changes in the photography industry including styles. One thing though, is that simple, natural and pure images always stand the test of time. My style has always remained natural, no props, just capturing the love and joy your have within your family.

It’s those natural family moments of you looking and interacting with each other that I find are the photos that are purchased and cherished the most. No forced smiles and saying cheese at the camera. My newborn photography is just as simple, making your baby comfortable in safe positions.

I’m so grateful when previous clients welcome me back to photograph their growing family. It brings me so much joy to see how their children have grown since I last visited them. Congratulations with the birth of your third child, he’s beautiful!
