Meet your photographer
hey, I'm Alana
More than photographs
This is about holding onto this season of your life for a little longer.
The things you might not think to photograph now will often become the things you miss the most. The way your little one runs into your arms. The favourite toy they take everywhere. The sleepy cuddles, the chaos, the laughter and all the little pieces of everyday life that make this chapter yours.
From your first message through to receiving your photographs, I’ll take care of the details. You’ll have everything you need to prepare for your session, help choosing what to wear and plenty of guidance along the way.
When the day arrives, all you need to do is show up and be with your family. Play with your kids. Cuddle them. Let them be themselves.
I’ll be there to capture the pieces of childhood you’re living right now, so you can come back to them long after they’ve changed.
A look into my world
I’m here for the mamas who feel like time is slipping through their fingers. The ones who blink and their babies suddenly look older, who want to remember the way their little one’s hand fits in theirs, or how their home feels right now...messy, full of love, and completely theirs.
Motherhood changed everything for me. It taught me how fleeting these days are, and how much beauty there is in the in-between moments. The giggles, the chaos, the cuddles. My sessions are calm and connection-driven, focused on capturing real emotion rather than perfect poses.
Because one day, these photos will take you right back to the warmth, the love, the season you’re in right now.
And that’s exactly why I do what I do.

photos & videos you can feel
With over eight years in business, my sessions are relaxed, intimate and full of connection. I take a natural, organic approach to my work, focusing on capturing the beauty and family bond. Less posed shots of everyone looking directly at the camera and more natural real moments.

Childhood, as it really was
My approach to photography is relaxed and unobtrusive. I’m not here to make your family perform for the camera. I’d much rather let your children play, explore and simply be themselves, stepping in with a little direction when needed.
I know how quickly childhood moves. One day they’re obsessed with Buzz Lightyear, and the next they’ve stopped reaching for the costume. It’s the messy, ordinary little moments that you’ll miss the most, and those are the moments I want to remember for you.
My goal is to create photographs that take you back. Not just to how your children looked, but to who they were and what their childhood felt like.
this is the bit you'll miss one day...
