Inspired by Life Photography Real life. Real love. Beautifully remembered. Hi, I’m Samantha — the photographer behind Inspired by Life Photography. Life doesn't need to be perfect.

Relaxed family, children & couple photography
Pakenham studio + outdoor sessions
Message me for availability & bookings I specialise in capturing real moments and genuine connection, creating images that feel like you — full of laughter, love, and the people who matter most. My sessions are relaxed, fun, and easy-going, because the best photos happen when you’re comfortable, being yourself, and simply enjoying the moment. No stiff posing — just real life, beautifully remembered. Inspired by Life Photography is about memories made visible — the honest, joy-filled moments you’ll want to hold onto for years to come. Just remembered.

A little throwback to when these kids were smaller and the dog was still portable! 😂🐾

A few years on, all three have done a fair bit of growing… recreating this photo might require a little more muscle! 💛

How lovely does she look running through the canola? 💛 A sea of yellow, a bit of freedom and no need to stand still for the camera—sometimes those are the best moments to capture!

This little bear holds a very special place in this family’s photos, and in their hearts.

Grace was stillborn, and the day of this shoot would have been her ninth birthday. Her bear comes along to every photoshoot, making sure she is always included in the family memories we capture.

Her family talk about her often, keeping her name and her memory part of everyday life. She is deeply loved and will never be forgotten.

For this photo, I added a little birthday cake for Grace, surrounded by soft snow. It was a privilege to create something so meaningful for her family.

Happy ninth birthday, precious Grace.

The original was already adorable… but we couldn’t resist adding a little extra Christmas magic! 🎄✨❤️

A sprinkle of snow, a beautifully decorated Christmas tree, and a little festive imagination have transformed this cute little Kombi into something straight out of a Christmas storybook! ❄️🚐🎁

Because sometimes, a little Christmas magic makes something cute even cuter! ❤️✨

What do you think of the transformation? 🎅💕

A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of photographing the beautiful annual high tea at Casey Seventh-day Adventist Church. This was my third year capturing the event, and it was such a joy to be part of it again.

With delicious food, lovely company and plenty of laughter, it was a wonderful day shared by all the ladies. Thank you for inviting me to capture these special memories.

Here is a selection from the day

A little Christmas magic in the studio today!

I had the lovely Cillian and his family in for their Christmas photos, and we had such a fun time!

Cillian’s gorgeous expression was just too good not to have a little fun with, so with a sprinkle of AI magic, we turned his little car into a flying Kombi!

I think his face says it all!

Thank you to Cillian and his lovely family for coming in today. It was an absolute pleasure having you all!

Here’s a little before and after. How cool is his new ride?
