Meaningful Moments captured for keeps

6 Step Booking Guide

1) Lets book a Date

I shoot on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays! I have options for Sunrise, or Sunsets. You can fill out a contact form or Email me, and we can pick a date & lock in your session of choice.

3) Chat to me

Once all that is done and secure, we can book a phone call, or chat over voice on socials, or via email to plan out your session. It is so important to personalise and get to know you, so that i may make your session totally you. Here i can offer styling advice as well & hopefully take away the nerves & pressures you may feel & express excitement!

5) Shoot Day

THIS IS THE FUN PART! for your shoot you should expect to have a location in mind and a time to meet. As discussed we will meet at the spot & then go from there, i will guide you the whole way, give prompts and make it a fun personal experience for you all!

2) Your Detz

Once your date is confirmed, i will send you access to your client portal, with your contract to read and sign, your quote for deposit & i have a questionaire for you which allows me some insight into you for personalising the experience. Following deposit & contract being signed i can send you my session guide to prepare you :)

I offer payment plans to make things easy too :)

4) Session week

We will touch base and discuss the weather for the session and confirm the location and plans we have discussed. We can do this via email or a quick phone call or text :)

Then as weather is unpredictable we sometimes touch base via text the night before or morning of session :)

6) Gallery Delivery

You will have access to your selected package images delivered to you within 2-4 weeks (sometimes in busy wedding seasons there can be slight delays but in general i can not wait to get your photos to you, asap!) Sometimes next day sneak peaks even come to you or a little sneak on insta can be seen.

Session Types I offer

  • OK, so my heart and soul goes into my Family sessions. As a family gal, a Mother of 2 little ones. This is where my greatest passion lies, telling your family story and updating your family photos throughout the years and seasons of life. I offer Mini sessions seasonally however my full Sessions will always have my heart as they truly allow for all of the story telling and adventure you could dream of having captured.

    Every Family is unique, and i am always excited to document that uniqueness, in a fun, casual, easy going vibe way!

  • Motherhood is a magical journey, beginning the moment you see those two little lines confirming you're expecting. Growing a tiny human is one of the most incredible experiences life has to offer, and capturing this special time—whether in the serenity of nature or the comfort of your home—is something you'll never regret.

    Maternity sessions are some of my absolute favorites, and I also offer Bump to Baby packages to ensure you can cherish every milestone, from pregnancy to those precious first moments with your little one. It’s a wild, beautiful ride that passes in the blink of an eye—let’s make sure you have memories to hold onto forever.

  • Who wouldn’t love to preserve those first precious moments of bringing their baby home? The tiny toes, the little hands wrapped around your fingers—the incredible details of the baby you grew with love. These early days can feel like a whirlwind, sometimes even like Groundhog Day, especially if you have older little ones adding to the beautiful chaos. But amidst it all, these are moments you'll never want to forget.

    I’m here to document this chapter for you—naturally, candidly, and with a storytelling approach. These sessions take place in the comfort of your home, using soft, natural light in a few well-lit spaces, ensuring an intimate and cozy feel. No stiff poses, just real, heartfelt moments.

    While outdoor sessions are an option, there’s something truly special about capturing these memories in the space where your baby’s journey begins—safe, warm, and full of love.

  • While I only take on a select number of events each year, I bring the perfect blend of energy, personality, and passion to every occasion I document. I love capturing people together, preserving the atmosphere and vibe, and ensuring you have plenty of beautiful moments with friends and family to look back on.

    My approach is relaxed yet intentional—I gently guide and coordinate when needed while keeping things natural and candid. The result? A collection of images that truly reflect the essence of your event.

    If you have an event coming up, let’s chat! I’d love to discuss the details and see if I’m available to capture it for you.

  • Oh, golly—my passion for this knows no bounds! I absolutely adore the opportunity to photograph individuals or groups of friends in a way that is both creative and empowering. These sessions are more than just portraits—they are an experience designed to celebrate you, your essence, and your unique energy.

    Not only do I offer a selection of stunning gowns available for loan, but I also craft each session as a collaborative journey. Together, we’ll create something that truly captures who you are, making you feel beautiful, empowered, and deeply connected to nature.

    I love weaving elements of spirituality into these shoots—perhaps with a cleansing wand, affirmation cards, or intentional breathwork—to create a space that feels both grounding and uplifting. This is your time to shine, embrace your individuality, and explore all the creative, quirky concepts we can dream up together.

  • Ohhh, you bet I do weddings! I take on around 15-20 weddings each year, which means my dates can book out pretty fast—and yep, I absolutely travel for weddings!

    Weddings are all about love, connection, and those once-in-a-lifetime moments, and I want to capture every bit of the magic in a way that feels so authentically you. That’s why I believe it’s super important that we vibe!

    If you're keen to chat, pop a contact form through, and I’ll send over my pricing guide. Then we can jump on a call, talk all things wedding, and make sure we're the perfect fit for your big day!

Shoot day

what to expect:

Prepare yo self

Flat lay your clothes out on the bed, send me a photo if you like, ill be honest and let you know if its too matchy match or perhaps its just not flowing. But generally, as long as your outfits look good to the eye, and suit your family vibe, the location and activity we are doing and maybe even have tones of colour that suit your home, then id say its pretty spot on. I do give you a session guide with more detailed support with styling and we can have phone consults to get this right but if you have it all planned out beforehand, and its easy to grab and put on before the session, this is ideal to avoid any polavas or stresses before the shoot :)

Oh and you can try it on the week before too, make sure you feel good :)

Lets do this!

When we agree on our meet spot, it can be important to make sure you are not running late, that way we dont have to rush anything to get good light and will be relaxed to allow the session to be free flowing. I plan all sessions out best i can considering your family dynanics and the weather and location for walking to spots etc. Alot of love and work goes into preparing for each session. So arriving on time is so important :)

If you have things you need with you, pop it all into a backpack and i can pop it on my back to carry it for you, that way you guys can just get into it and i can start the documenting with a free flow additude. I want you to be free and to enjoy nature and the experience together to the fullest.

Just think of your session as an opportunity to connect in nature to the fullest without any distractions of phones , work or devices. A chance to have a good day together, making memories and then having those memories to keep, forever :)

Rest up

Before you are due to have your session with me, be sure to rest, take it easy and have everyone fed and feeling as good as possible. You dont want anyone to feel hangry! However you can bring snacks if you like. Before a sunrise shoot you can keep everyone in jammies then change when you arrive, i can help you :) Sunsets are a little easier but in summer they can be fairly late so be sure to eat before coming or if planning to get dinner afterwards, just have a sneaky snack before :)

Relax & release perfection

All those “perfect pictures” you see online, often have a backstory or chaotic moments & tantrums. It is so beautiful when families can release perfection and just let go and have fun, even as some things don’t go to “plan”we will roll with it, and onto something else, and come back to it later if we need. A session with me is free flowing and i promise that while i always will do my best to get some posed shots of everyone looking, generally its those in between and play led fun moments that just happen that really reflect the realness of you and those are the moments you will cherish.

Be Yourself

Make sure to get out of your own head, and try to forget i’m there as much as possible, i give you guidance and some flowy prompts and poses but the magic really happens when you let go of expectations, forget im there and flow with your loved ones. I encourage you to do things you would do on your happiest days together, be real, raw and authentically you guys. I want to capture your personalities and it doesnt happen with stiff poses and while standing around waiting for a direction.

If i go quiet its a good sign for you to keep moving and playing. But don’t worry i know its not natural to have a lady follow you around with a camera, i do give prompts and assurance as we go along and i get awesome shots of your family.

Your joy, love and life deserves to be preserved.

With Love & Sunshine.
