Hey, lovely souls, I’m Vanessa, the heart behind Rear View Productions, a storyteller with a camera in hand and three little wildflowers at my feet. I’m a twin mum, a toddler mum, a memory keeper, and someone who believes the most beautiful moments are the ones that unfold naturally, without forcing or fussing. Photography came into my life long before the kids - but motherhood reshaped it, deepen
ed it, and rooted it into something far more meaningful. When you’ve held tiny hands, wiped tears, chased giggles, and lived inside the whirlwind of family life, you start to see the world differently. You start noticing the way sunlight catches in your child’s hair, the way Dad softens when he holds the baby close, the way a family breathes in sync even during the chaos. That’s where my art lives in the in-between moments. The ones you wish you could hold onto forever. I specialise in outdoor, warm-toned, storytelling sessions, the kind where the breeze moves your hair, the grass brushes your feet, and everyone feels free enough to just be. No stiff posing. No pressured smiles. Just connection, laughter, and a photographer who truly understands the rhythm of kids and family life. As a mum to 6.5-month-old twins and a spirited toddler, I know what it means to work around naps, snack breaks, meltdowns, and sudden bursts of giggles. I bring patience, gentleness, and a whole lot of lived experience into every session. If someone needs time, they get time. If someone needs a cuddle, they get one. If we need to pause for a bottle or a snack, absolutely, we do. This is a space where families are allowed to be themselves. Rear View Productions isn’t just a business for me. It’s a way of honouring the fleeting seasons we move through. The way babies grow faster than our hearts can keep up. The way memories blur if we don’t stop to capture them. The way a single image can hold a whole chapter of your life. Your story deserves to be held gently, beautifully, and honestly. And I’d be honoured to capture it. Let’s create something earthy, warm, and unforgettable together. 📸✨🌾
