I capture ↠ Families, Bumps, Bubs, Lovers + Elopements ✧ Hey! My name is Grace and I am a photographer based on the south coast of nsw! And everything in-between!

I’m a barefoot, sun kissed, ocean loving and moon gazing dreamer! Constantly in awe and lost in nature! Usually smelling the flowers with a tea in hand! For parts of the year I am also travelling and living in d a i s y ~ our self converted home on wheels, with my love! I am a self taught Elopement, Portrait + Lifestyle Photographer! I capture families, bumps, bubs and lovers ~ and all the moments

in-between. xo

I am now in my sixth year of capturing families, in beautiful places and their special moments in time. Capturing moments in their raw and natural states! Whether it be in the comfort of your own home, with the sand between your toes, going for a wander through the forest, or running through a flower field at sunrise or sunset – let me capture your story, your family, your love. My style of photography is a relaxed experience ~ we wander, we chat, we play and we capture along the way! I want to capture all of your love, the laughter, the belly laughs, the squishy cuddles, and even those teary moments for you to! Your family and its beauty in its most natural form, to cherish for years to come. I hope to be the one who delivers this to you! Say hey, to find out where I am, what I’m up to or to secure your session with me! Big love, Grace. xo

2025 ✨ Looking at my grid, I showed up in a lot of other places this last year but obviously not here! So I thought I’d share a sweet repeat client of mine who I photographed this last year 💛 I’ve now photographed two of their gorgeous bumps, a squishy little love and a few family mini sessions in between! It’s beautiful families like this who keep my lil biz flowing! I always go on about it, but it really fills my cup when you choose me to photograph and be part of such special journeys of your lives. Especially the ones that start with those gorgeous big bumps, the teeny tiny toes in between, another child, and even inviting the grandparents along. This last year I photographed a lot of past clients but also many new families to. Trusting me to be part of your special memories and being so patient while I was growing our little babe and then welcoming our little love earthside really meant the world to myself and Jords. The kindness, love and even gifts for our little love made me realise just how many beautiful relationships I have made with you all over the years! Even while slowing down my business on Maternity leave I continue to hear from you to see how we are going and how our little Lenny is! I am truly so lucky! Although I have been quiet behind the scenes, I already have bookings for Feb-May next year and continuing to take more bookings. Although I won’t be taking on as many bookings so I can continue to spend my days with our little Lenny, I am so excited for all of the stories I am yet to capture in 2026! Again - thank you for your patience, I know I have been slow on replies. Especially the last couple of months but I will be in touch with you all the next coming weeks! Wishing you all a safe and beautiful start to the new year! Thank you so much for your support and big loveeee, Gracie xox

It’s been a little while between posts! And trying to choose which to share first, oh my gosh it was hard! So starting with my last session before I started my maternity leave! 💛 The most gorgeous family who travelled down the coast to capture lots of sweet memories before their newest love arrives! That gorgeous bump and those sandy lil toes! Definitely missing being behind the camera while waiting for our own little love to arrive!

Hoping you all had a beautiful long weekend and Easter 🐣💛 And a massive thank you for all of the kind words on my last post 💛 I’ll be giving bit more of an update regarding sessions and bookings soon. But at the moment I have limited weekend availability over the next few months and would love to hear from you if you’re thinking of capturing some special moments with your loved ones! Love this time of year for the colourful skies, earlier sunsets for little ones, crunchy leaves and cosy knitwear! 💛

One whole year of being married 💛 I honestly don’t know where to start! This last year has been a wild ride of lows and highs 💫 And I really couldn’t have survived it without the constant support and love of this beautiful man! April has brought so many emotions. It is the month we should have been holding our first little babe in our arms ✨ but instead growing another sweet little babe in my tummy. Feeling all of the flutters, swooshes and bubbles more and more as each day goes by is such a magic and bittersweet feeling 💛 a journey we never expected but one I wouldn’t want to be on with anyone else. And finally getting to our 1st wedding anniversary and reminiscing on what was one of the most beautiful and funnest days! Getting to marry my best friend, surrounded by all of our loved ones 🦅 I want to go back and do it all again! 🪩✨💛 I love you so much Jords and can’t wait to see you shower our little fella with as much of the love you show me 💛

Hello 2025 🌼 I hope it’s been a salty, sandy and beautiful one so far 💛 I’ve been finding it hard to do a write up for the last year. It was one filled with so many smiles, tears, belly laughs, moments of grief and growth. And I can’t thank you all enough for supporting me and my lil biz along the way 💛 Capturing such special memories for you all honestly fills my cup and I can’t wait to see what families, bumps, bubs and lovers I get to meet and photograph this year!

Hello! 💛 I hope you’re all having a beautiful and safe start to the festive season! I’m still in complete disbelief that Christmas is only 3 sleeps away! This last month has been such a big one personally for us, that I just haven’t been posting at all. But I’ve had so many gorgeous families scattered in between, I can’t wait to share them all while on my break. I had my last session of the year on Thursday with my beautiful cousin and her family. I have 4 more sessions to edit, have been delivering so many gift vouchers for your loved ones and booking well into the new year! I can’t thank you all enough for your support and patience you have given me this last year. I’ll still be on admin the next few days and then replies will be delayed over the Christmas and New Year period. If you’re looking for a last minute stocking filler or gift, I have gift vouchers available which can be sent via email for you to print or send to your loved ones! Who is seriously going to be upset with being gifted the special gift of photos with their loved ones 🥰 Like this gorgeous Grandmother and her Granddaughter having a play amongst the waves! Seriously the cutest! Big love to you, Gracie ###

Another beautiful family and session I’m so close to having completed and uploaded! 🌼 I’ve been photographing Chloe and her little loves since her youngest was just a teeny bub! So for 6 years now! And it’s always such a pleasure getting to catch up with them and photograph their yearly photo session with me 💛 This year we finally made it to this location I’ve been wanting to photograph at for years now! And it all aligned, the wind, the tide, the lagoon! And the sun even peeked through at the end of their session! It was stunning! Thanks for always trusting me to be the one to photograph your beautiful fam Chloe! xo

Gosh!! This was such a fun one! Last time I saw this beautiful family was when their youngest was just 5 months old! I just can’t believe the beautiful and cheeky little humans they’ve grown up to be! It was so lovely seeing them all again and capturing a few updated family portraits for them! 💛 I hope you all have a beautiful day ahead x

You’ve got mail lovely 💛 One of my gorgeous past clients I photographed last weekend at my mini’s 🥹

I know I say it every year, but I just can’t believe how quick December is crawling on by!! My books are now closed for 2024 - yay! So much love for you all! And still taking bookings for January onwards! 🥰

I have SO much editing to get through! I have stopped doing sneaks for now, just to get through as many full collections as possible. All Mini’s will be delivered this week. And a few other galleries in between!

Thank you so much for all of your patience 💛 With birthdays, celebrations, Christmas gatherings and photo sessions I only have 9 free afternoons for December - how’re you all looking?! Big love, Gracie x
