With 18+ years behind the lens, I've photographed hundreds of families across Newcastle, Port Stephens, Anna Bay, Merewether, Bar Beach and beyond. And here's what I know for certain: the best family photos never come from telling everyone to stand still and smile.
They come from the belly laughs. The toddler meltdowns. The silly dad jokes. The way your kids pile on top of you like you're furniture. That's the stuff worth capturing... and that's exactly what I'm here for.
My approach to family photography is play-based, direction-heavy and genuinely fun.
No awkward poses. No stiff smiles. Just your family, being exactly who you are, in a location you love, with me there to catch every real moment of it.
I photograph families across Newcastle NSW, Port Stephens, Anna Bay, Nelson Bay, Merewether, Bar Beach, The Hill, Redhead Beach and the Hunter Valley. Available for travel sessions Australia-wide.
Port Stephens + Newcastle family photographer, mum, ocean lover, and chaos enthusiast.

Because this season of your life deserves to be documented beautifully. Maternity sessions are available in-home or across Newcastle + Port Stephens beaches, parks and natural locations.
Lifestyle sessions for families who want real photos, not catalogue poses. Sessions are 60–90 minutes, play-based, and genuinely fun for the whole family.
Gentle, unhurried newborn sessions capturing bub whilst they're still teeny. The sleepy cuddles, tiny details and all the enormous love of those first tender days. Available in-home and on location across Newcastle + Port Stephens.
