One of my favourite Hills park for family photos.

Late autumn/early winter in the Hills is honestly my favourite light of the year.

Soft and golden light alongside parks that are local and relatively quiet. All beautiful from about 3:30pm in June.

If you’re a Sydney family thinking about updating your family photos, now is the perfect window. I have limited availability in the coming months, so send me a DM and we can get your session locked in.

Newborn mornings in your own home are quiet, gentle, and a little chaotic — exactly as they should be.

No backdrop. No setup. Just your real bedroom, real light through your window, and your baby exactly as they are.

These are the photos you’ll look at the most. I promise. 🤍

Memories forever.

The 'what do we wear' question is the one I get most. Here’s what I tell every family:

1. Pick one base colour you love and create outfits around it. I often recommend starting with Mum's outfit and building from there. Think warm neutrals — cream, rust, soft sage, caramel, washed denim — they all photograph beautifully in our Sydney light.

2. Don’t go too matchy matchy. Coordinate. If everyone wears identical items it can risk looking like a school photo. If everyone wears different pieces in the same palette, it looks like a family.

3. Wear what you actually like to wear. Your real cardigan, your real jeans, your favourite dress. The shoot should look like you, not like someone else’s Pinterest board. The bonus is, textures like knit, linen and denim look great in images.

If you’re still figuring it out, send me a photos or links — I’ll help you work it out, it's what I'm here for! 🤍

Late afternoon, soft light, the kids running ahead.

I don’t pose families like this. I tell them where to walk, and then I just watch.

The good ones happen on their own. Always have, always will.

Real moments. Real families.

Sunset family sessions are now available to book, June–August. Send me a message to lock in a date.

The little bits I always capture. Toes. Eyelashes. Mum’s hand. Ears. Lips.

These are the photos that make your gallery feel whole and that you’ll return to time and time again. The details that change before you realise it’s happening.

Newborn sessions generally book 2-3 months ahead. DM if you are due in July, August or September.

There’s been a few new followers over the past week so I thought it was time to reintroduce myself!

Hi, I’m Jules. These two are Xavi and Paige.

They’re the reason I started (alongside a very supportive husband, and amazing family and friends cheering me on).

From the second these guys arrived earthside, I was the mum who couldn’t stop photographing her own kids. Not just the dressed up versions. The real ones. The concentration face. The shy, half smile. The thinking stare. The completely-not-listening one. The proud one. The playful one. Bright pink crocs, messy hair and all!

I love them all. They’re who my kids actually are.

That’s what I try to give every family I photograph. Not just poses. Not forced big smiles on cue. The real expressions, the ones that look like them. The ones that cause you to say, “oh my gosh that face is soooo them!”

Because the photos you’ll want to keep on your wall in ten years are the ones that actually feels like your kid. Not the most picture-perfect “say cheese” one. The most “them” one.

Real moments. Real families. Captured as you are. 🤍

If this lands, send me a message. I’d love to hear about your family, your why, and spend a morning, afternoon or evening with you.

The love of grandparents and great-grandparents is such a special part of childhood, and preserving that connection in photographs is something your family will never regret!

This shoot was for 4 beautiful generations of family - 3 of those generations in this one shot. I adore watching your interactions from behind the lens, and capturing both posed and candid moments.

Message me to plan a session with the whole family included!

Happy Mother’s Day from us to you! We hope your weekend was as special as ours. Big shout out to my hubby for snapping these on the big camera for me, I’m not often in front of it, but I love these.

Thank you to all the Mums who trust me to capture your family’s memories. I’m very grateful, and love seeing your bonds.

Some of you have asked if I’m doing Mother’s Day minis this year, the answer is yes. I couldn’t fit it into the calendar before Mother’s Day, a few unexpected things popped up, so I’ll be doing “Mama and me” sessions very soon - info to be released on Wednesday!
