Rear View Productions

Rear View Productions Rear View Productions is an Adelaide-based family & event photographer, capturing real, natural moments with a relaxed, outdoor approach. The real ones.

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. 📸✨🌾

💥 PRICE UPDATE 💥

With Rear View Productions continuing to grow, I’ve made the decision to update my package pricing. 🤎

I’ve tried to keep my sessions affordable while also making sure my pricing reflects everything that actually goes into your photos', the session itself, travelling, editing, gallery preparation and the many hours behind the scenes that nobody sees.

The new pricing won’t take effect until all of my currently booked sessions have been completed.

If you already have a session booked with me, nothing changes for you. Your current price is locked in and will be honoured. 🤎

Once my current bookings are completed, the new pricing will apply to all future sessions and bookings.

I’m still me, still keeping things relaxed, still letting the kids be kids, still capturing the chaos and still probably saying “just one more!” about 15 times. 😂

Thank you to everyone who continues to book, recommend, share and support Rear View Productions. It genuinely allows me to keep doing something I absolutely love. 🥹

🌼 Canola season is coming 🌼

There’s something about an endless field of golden yellow under a blue sky that just screams spring in South Australia. 💛

I’m already getting excited for this year’s canola season and scouting out those beautiful yellow fields again.

Spaces will be limited to protect the location and keep sessions relaxed.

Disclaimer ⚠️ Please note:
Sessions will only take place at an approved location where permission has been obtained. We will not enter or photograph in private canola fields without the landowner's permission. Please also do not enter fields without permission.

Colour Palettes That Photograph Beautifully 📸

One of the most common questions I get asked is...
"What should we wear?"

The good news? You don't have to figure it out on your own!
Soft neutrals, earthy tones, muted greens, creams, beiges, dusty blues, and warm browns all photograph beautifully outdoors and help create timeless images you'll love for years to come.

✨ Avoid large logos, busy patterns, and neon colours, as they can draw attention away from the people who matter most—you and your family.

🤍 To make things even easier, I've created a colour palette guide that's available on my website! It's packed with inspiration to help you coordinate outfits without everyone needing to match perfectly.
A little planning goes a long way and can make a huge difference to the final look of your gallery.

🌿 Visit my website to view the colour palette guide, or send me a message if you'd like a little help choosing outfits. I'm always happy to help!

Five curated colour palettes for family photography, from soft neutrals to moody editorial tones, each crafted to suit your story.

✨ 5 Reasons to Update Your Family Photos ✨

📸 1. Your children are growing faster than you realise.
One minute they're learning to walk, the next they're off to school. Photos freeze the moments that pass by far too quickly.

❤️ 2. You deserve to be in the photos too.
Mums are usually the ones behind the camera. Your children will treasure seeing you in their memories, not just taking them.

🌿 3. Every season of life is worth celebrating.
Whether you've welcomed a new baby, become engaged, celebrated a birthday, or simply want updated family portraits, every chapter deserves to be remembered.

🏡 4. Photos become family heirlooms.
Years from now, these won't just be pictures, they'll be some of your most treasured possessions.

✨ 5. There will never be a "perfect" time.
The house won't always be clean, the kids won't always sit still, and you might not feel "photo ready." But your family is perfect just as you are, right now.

🤍 Don't wait for "one day." Capture the memories while they're happening.

If you've been thinking about updating your family photos, I'd love to help tell your story.

There's just something about a black & white photo that colour can't always capture. 🤍🖤

It strips away the distractions and lets the emotion take centre stage, the smiles, the laughter, the quiet moments, the love between families.

While I absolutely love vibrant colours and golden sunsets, I have a soft spot for timeless black & white images. They never go out of style, and somehow they always seem to tell a deeper story.

Every gallery I deliver includes a selection of black & white edits because sometimes... those end up becoming the favourites. 🥹
Are you team colour or team black & white? I'd love to know! 📸🖤
