We can do fun stuff like this during your in-home shoot.

Why not?

Crazy chaos makes for pretty awesome memories, frozen in photographs…

Did you know you can win an in-home session with me?

Covered in sand, jeans rolled up but soaking wet, a happy carefree smile…
Being guided by the littlest client in front of the camera is one of the ways I make sure your shoot is relaxed and fun.
If you’ve been following my work, you’ll know that authenticity over perfection is really important to me.
It also gives you a snapshot of what this moment in time, this beautiful chapter of yours was really like.

This beach is their happy place.

Getting sandy and salty is what he does.

Why change that?

I’d rather document it for you.

You’ll never forget it now xx

“Megan!!!!!!!!!
When I said you are magical it was an understatement! ✨✨✨

Our gallery is so much more than a collection of images. It really is our story, special place and moment in time for our family that you have captured so, so beautifully.

It’s beyond everything we were hoping for. Plus the memory of the evening itself on the beach with our family.

### wanting to hold your hand as we walked up from the beach just said it all as well!

Thank you thank you thank you 🤍”

Whet a message to receive from a client. Words that mean so much to me, because I’ve created something that means so much to them.

I have more from this session coming soon. xx

Pool sessions are ON this summer!
Got a pool? I’ll come to you. Or, we can shoot at a beautiful solar heated pool on a farm in Somerville.
The surrounds are stunning and a sunset session over the paddocks and this gorgeous pool would be amazing.
Doesn’t have to be a beach session… message me directly for availability x

Our city staycation every Christmas… Harper and I pick the hotel purely based on the pool 🤣
We love to go for a night swim and then we are back early morning for a dip together and a little photo shoot.
We go to the same sushi train for dinner, we play the arcade games at Crown, we order a room service club sandwich and indulge in the buffet breakfast.
The city was well and truly alive this year, it was beautiful.
I just can’t believe 2025 is nearly over. It flew by. More so than other years. Everyone seems to have felt it.
I’m well overdue for our family photos and I’m planning our next shoot for late summer 2026.

We crammed a lot into this session and it was a whole stack of little moments, that add up to be something really big.

Feelings from photographs…
Summer travelling shoot dates…

Back streets in Cooly… I can never quite put my finger on it, but when I look at this photo, I get a feeling wash over me. In an instant I feel like I’m home, even though it’s a couple of thousand km’s away.
I hear the slow mornings, I feel the warmth of the sun that’s about to hit when we turn the corner to the beach, and I see a little girl, who’s not so little anymore, having the best holiday. And my heart jumps into my throat. So grateful for this holiday. For her. For memories made here in my childhood, and now in hers.

Geez… all that from one photo… imagine the emotion overload from a whole session.
It’s your sign to book it 😉

Full travel dates coming soon but here’s a run-down…
