to hold onto
Your session will feel relaxed, intimate, and full of connection. With over eight years of experience, I’ll gently guide you while keeping things natural and easy. Instead of stiff, posed photos, you’ll get real, organic moments — the laughter, the cuddles, and the quiet in-betweens that show your family just as you are.
The way they hold your hand, the way they still fit in your lap, the way they giggle when Dad throws them in the air — one day these moments will just be memories. A family session helps you freeze this season exactly as it is, before it slips away.
So often, mums are the ones behind the camera, catching everyone else’s smiles. These photos give you something you can be in, fully present — proof that you were here, loving them through every ordinary, messy, beautiful day.
Right now, they’ll make you smile. In a few years, they’ll make you cry. One day, they’ll be your family’s favourite treasures — the ones your kids look at to remember how deeply they were loved.
You don’t need a perfect home, matching outfits, or perfectly behaved kids — just a willingness to pause for a little while. I’ll do the rest. Together, we’ll capture your family’s story, exactly as it feels right now.
Start by filling out my quick enquiry form — tell me a little about your family, the type of session you’d love, and when you’re hoping to have it captured. This helps me get a feel for what matters most to you.
Once I receive your enquiry, I’ll get back to you with my availability and session details. When you’re ready to go ahead, you’ll just need to pay the $250 deposit and sign a simple agreement to secure your spot.
That’s it! You’re all booked in. I’ll send you a prep guide so you know exactly what to expect, along with outfit tips and location ideas — so on the day, you can simply relax, have fun, and let me capture the magic.
You can spread the cost out over time and pay at your own pace — all I ask is that it’s paid off before your session date.
Just mention you’d like a payment plan when booking, and we’ll set it up together.
BEHIND THE LENS
Since becoming a mother myself, I’ve realised just how quickly time can fly by. That’s why I’m here!
This is about slowing down time and holding onto the moments that matter most. It’s more than just capturing pretty images — it’s about preserving what it feels like to be in this season of life. From the very first message, you'll be guided through every step, with helpful information before and after your session, support with choosing the perfect location and outfits, and gentle direction to help you feel completely at ease in front of the camera.
All that's needed is for you to show up, relax, and soak in the moment — everything else will be taken care of. The session will unfold naturally, with a focus on soft, beautiful light and those honest, heartfelt moments that mean the most.
We had the best experience with Alana! She came to our home for our newborn session, making it so easy and comfortable for us as new parents. From the moment she arrived, she made us feel completely at ease and cared for.
