For the past four years, this little corner of the internet has been one of the greatest privileges of my life.

I’ve had the honour of documenting your pregnancies, newborns, motherhood journeys, and the quiet, ordinary moments that become the most precious memories. Thank you for trusting me with such sacred seasons of your lives. It has been a gift I will never take for granted.

But over the past five years, I’ve also been quietly walking my own journey with infertility.

While I’ve cherished celebrating your growing families, carrying the ache of longing for another baby of our own alongside that has taken a toll on my heart. I realised recently that I’ve been pouring so much of myself into documenting the lives of others that I’ve slowly drifted away from being fully present in my own.

After a lot of reflection, I’ve decided it’s time to take a gentle pause from motherhood photography.

This isn’t goodbye, and it isn’t necessarily forever. Right now, it simply feels like the right season to slow down, focus on my family, pour into homeschooling my son, care for my own heart, and make space for whatever this next chapter holds.

Over the coming days I’ll be temporarily deactivating this account while I take some much-needed space.

If you already have a booking with me, please don’t worry at all every existing booking will be honoured, and I’ll continue to care for you just as I always have.

If you’d still like to get in touch, you can always reach me via email. ([email protected])

As I step back from motherhood photography for a little while, I’ll be focusing my creative energy on photographing beautiful stays, small businesses and brands. If you’d like to follow along with that journey, I’d love to see you over at Skye Middleton | stays & travel

Thank you to every family who has invited me into your homes, trusted me with your stories, and supported this little dream over the years. You’ve given me memories I’ll treasure forever.

For now, I’m choosing to slow down, care for my heart, and be fully present in this season of my own life.

With so much love,

Skye 🤍

There will come a day when this is the last feed.

You won’t know it’s the last.
There’ll be no countdown.
No announcement.

Just one ordinary moment that quietly becomes a memory.

Hold them close.
Happy World Breastfeeding Week. 🤍

Just in case you thought winter sessions couldn’t be beautiful… I had to share one of my favourite winter shoots from the archives. 🤍

I captured this beautiful family two winters ago, and looking back at them reminds me of one of the biggest lessons photography has taught me, it shows you just how quickly life changes.

This tiny bubba is now running around, demanding motorbike rides and keeping everyone on their toes.

We really can’t hold onto time. We can’t ask it to slow down or wait. Some seasons we’re ready to see pass, I’m sure. But others slip by so quietly that we don’t realise they’re becoming memories until they’re already gone.

One of the greatest privileges of this work is being invited back to photograph the next chapter. To witness families growing, children changing, and love finding new ways to show itself.

I recently had the joy of capturing this beautiful family again, and while I can’t share those photographs just yet, I wanted an excuse to revisit where it all began.

I love watching your families grow through the seasons. It’s such a beautiful reminder of how quickly life moves.

Thankfully, when our memories begin to soften, we have photographs to take us back. ;)

The beauty has never been in getting everyone to smile at the camera.

It’s in the wandering. The pauses.
The curious glances. The tiny hands discovering the world, knowing you’re right there beside them.

That’s the motherhood I want to remember.

Ps: more photoshoots with cows please!?

Motherhood asks us to become landscapes ⛰️

They are rivers that carry us before we know how to swim. Shelter when the world feels too loud.
Soft places to land after long days.

Forests of patience, mountains of quiet strength.
Fields where love is grown, season after season.

They bend without breaking, hold without asking, and somehow make room for everyone else, even when they’re still learning how to hold themselves.

There is something so sacred about witnessing a mother with her child. It’s like watching nature itself wild, gentle, powerful, and endlessly giving.

The first place we ever belonged was held in a mother’s landscape. 🌀

Today I had the honour of capturing their sweet little one, baby Violet, here on the Earth side.

I can’t share those images just yet, but I couldn’t help revisiting there beautiful maternity session by the Never Never River.

From waiting for her by these ancient waters to holding her in their arms today, it feels so special to witness a family’s story unfold in seasons like these. And somehow, even with the wind, rain and wild waves today, it was perfect.

There is something so special about creating photographs in places that mean something to you.

A favourite swimming hole, the beach where you got engaged, the mountains you always return to, or a hidden creek you’ve loved since you were a child. These places hold stories, and I believe your photographs should too.

I will never say no to an adventure. If there is somewhere special to your family, I would love to come along and document this season of your life there.

Whether it’s a sunrise hike, a quiet river, or a little cottage tucked away in the countryside… consider this your sign to ask.

A moment of connection and mothering as old as the ancient rivers themselves.

There is something so deeply sacred about a mother feeding her child here by the Never Never River, on Gumbaynggirr Country.

Held by the water, the trees, and the stories this place has carried for thousands of years.

The oldest kind of love, in one of the oldest places.
