Warrnambool + SW Vic family photographer Making photos fun since 2010! Moments + connections + love Hi! (My 2 favourite titles.). Real families. Real love.

My name is Jodie and I truly feel like I’m the luckiest girl in the world. I’m married to a darling fella and i’m mum to three very gorgeous RAD kids. Our little family is all about adventuring, traveling and making memories, and we’re so fortunate to be able to do so. I think that’s why i’m so passionate about capturing that for other families. I somehow stumbled into my dream “job” (a little sidestep from graphic design to photography), and I pinch myself daily that people actually pay me to do something that I love so much. I don't do posed, I like to keep it natural and candid. REAL memories. I love meeting gorgeous families, I adore leaving each session feeling like i've just made some awesome new friends (both big & little!). I'm ridiculously passionate & always endeavouring to capture all the little, special moments in our life. I would love to capture yours.

Looking back over this session makes me emotional, I won't lie. I adore this one. Maybe because I'm in the very same stage of life myself right now: busy with teenagers, my own firstborn about to fly the nest. A bittersweet and beautiful stage. I've picked a few of my favourite random shots to share here. Not necessarily the 'pool room' enlargements, but the in-between moments, the laughs, the wet shoes, the banter.

I think teenagers get a bad rap. I also have a strong feeling these are, in fact, the best days. I'm not saying it's all roses, but I'm pretty sure watching your kids develop into unique, wonderful, fully-grown adult humans is about as good as it gets.

I've done a bit of soul searching, and re-evaluating things these past few years. And although I find myself being pulled in different directions, toward new adventures, I've come to apreciate at a whole new level what a gift this little business of mine is. I struggle to think of a job that could possibly be better for one's mental health, than to constantly be surrounded by, and capturing, LOVE.

I've basically abandoned any attempts to post these days gang. But I'm still here, snapping away between placement hours and my last few weeks of study.
Wherever new adventures take me, I actually can't imagine a life where I'm not still surrounding myself with, and still out there; grey haired and creaky-kneed, capturing... LOVE.

I'm around all summer legends. Hit me up if you're keen.
Oh and bring me your teenagers. Even if you have to bribe them. You won't regret it, I promise. I haven't met one who didn't play ball yet. 😉

I don't usually play favourites, but these guys are obviously my favourites. 😉

My little sister and her family just flew home to the UK after spending 5 weeks in Aus with us. It's been over a decade since their last visit so you can imagine how excited we were to have them (and how mopey I am now that they've gone).

It's a bittersweet thing, being blessed with such beautiful, close family bonds, but also living on opposite sides of the globe. Most days i'm just grateful that we have each other, but some days I hate the distance with a passion.

We make sure we snap some photos every time we're together (because it's usually a while between cuppas), and thankfully I remembered on Tom's last day here. So i grabbed the camera as we headed out on my favourite beach walk and took 5 to snap a few. Keep an eye out for some cheeky cousin photos we took on Hayze's last rainy afternoon too.

I am SO proud to call these 4 lovely humans my family, especially these past few years. They deserve all the love and every good thing in this world.

But seriously guys, you can come back now. WE MISS YOU.

Baby C at home.

I finally made the leap to close the studio this year. The main reason being, I prefer to capture babies in their own comfy, lovely habitat or families in the gorgeous outdoors.

And I have absolutely no regrets. Babies are always more relaxed at home, toddlers get such a kick out of showing off their world and I find it to be an overall more chilled, bespoke and gorgeous experience.

Case in point... Baby C. Thankyou for inviting me into your divine newborn bubble guys. What a treat!

Hands up if your dog's favourite holiday destination is Doggy Daycare Warrnambool? 🤚🤚🤚 Our Edie dog FROTHS for this place.

How lucky are we that some of our favourite people, we've only just met in the past few years? Not only do these guys have the COOLEST business going around, but they're genuinely some of the best humans. And I won't even start on how special their little J-man is.

And you won't hear this from her, but Laura is actually one of the most talented, self-motivated, handy go-getters i've ever met. She's now added chook-breeder to the long list of hats she wears! (Greenwich Park Poultry 😉)

So of course i'll take any excuse to hang out with them in their little slice of aussie paradise with all the cats, chooks and pups...
(And I only mentioned how stunning the light was about 295 times)

Appreciate you guys!
PS... Photoshoots at home, ALWAYS a good idea!

I can't remember ever leaving a session dissapointed.
Until my recent session with these guys...

Gorgeous family. Ridiculously stunning setting.
The perfect sunset setup potential...

And it rained. Not dramatic stormy rain either.
Just dark. Grey. Drizzle. Boo.

They were such superstars and we carried on regardless, but I was so gutted at what could have been if i'd just postponed it.

So we did a very quick take two a few weeks later.
And it certainly didn't disappoint.

Most of these shots are from round 2, as you can probably tell.
We got that sunset!

Always a pleasure to hang with the fabulous O'Keefe's. They have a knack for delivering some of my all-time favourite shots every time.

Another beautiful return family. Another beautiful baby. Another beautiful home. And once again, we only used a tiny corner of the house!

In case you need any reassurance if you don't feel your house is 'photo-worthy'... we did most of Miss L's half an hour sesh on one blanket, in one corner of the lounge.

TOO EASY. SO GORGOUS.
And YES, halfa sessions can be for a newborns at home too.
How good's that?!

PS how incredible are the EYES on this family?! (So great to see you again gang!!)
PPS... 2 posts in a week, lookout!!

'Extended families' or 'Generational sessions'?
Help, need a catchier name to describe my FAVOURITE photoshoot these days, which is lucky as they may just be my most popular booking too ('mum's 60/70th is usually the reason, fyi ;) )

This session a few months ago was on a dark, drizzly morning, not that you'd know it. This gorgeous gang smashed it out of the park, despite a quick spell under the brollies.

Psst... In case you haven't realised the hack yet... You don't just get the big group shots in these sessions, you get all the combos you could want plus each fam basically gets their own little mini. Good value if you're happy to split the sesh 😉😉

The session posting catchup aspirations continue (slowly!). I'm averaging one a week at this rate, lol. Thankfully i'm much better at taking photos than posting to socials, so never fear, your big beautiful family will be in good hands!
