Which slide made you feel personally attacked? 😂

The toddler doesn’t have to sit still.
Your husband doesn’t have to love photos.
You don’t have to feel “ready”.

Honestly… none of that matters to me. 😂

I’ve built my entire studio experience around real families. Busy toddlers, snack breaks, newborn feeds, dads counting down the minutes, mums saying “I haven’t even washed my hair”.

And somehow… it always comes together beautifully anyway 🤍

You don’t need well behaved kids.

Most of the families you see here said the same thing before they came in. They were worried about how their kids would be, short attention spans, not listening… the list goes on.

The truth is, I don’t want them ‘perfect’.
I need them as they are.

Lean into it… that’s where the good stuff is!

A quick update because I know a lot of you wait until the last minute.

The Spring Sunset Sessions release is around the corner.

If this has been sitting in the back of your mind, don’t leave it.

Send me OUTDOOR and I’ll add you to the waitlist for the Spring Sunset Sessions release.

After almost every session, I hear the same thing.

“That was way easier than I thought.”

Dads relax
Kids have fun
Mums finally get to be in it

It’s not stiff. It’s not awkward.

It’s just your family, as you are.

I’ve got a handful of sessions left.

If you want one, send me OUTDOOR.

“I just don’t feel ready to be in photos yet.”

I hear this all the time.

So here’s the truth.

No one ever feels 100% ready.
Life doesn’t suddenly calm down.
Kids don’t suddenly become easier.

You just decide this matters enough.

And I take care of the rest.

Wardrobe
Guidance
Lighting
What to do with your hands

All of it.

If you’ve been waiting to feel ready, this is your sign to stop waiting.

DM me “OUTDOOR” now to get started.

You don’t need another photo where everyone is standing still and smiling.

You need this.

Kids climbing into you
Hair blowing everywhere
Someone laughing, someone not listening

And somehow it all just works.

This is what your family actually feels like right now.

Spring Sunset Sessions are being released in May and I’ve just opened a handful of dates between now and August.

If you’ve been thinking about it, this is your moment.

Send me “OUTDOOR” and I’ll send through the details.

Baby Ocean ✨ the sweetest, sleepiest girl I’ve snuggled in a looooong time. A session made even better with her cool AF parents ❤️

If you’re looking at your camera roll thinking “I missed it”… you didn’t.

Newborn scrunch. Wobbly sitter. Chunky toddler. Wild little kid. All teeth and attitude.
Every age is the perfect stage.

And if you don’t feel like your old self right now
If your body’s different
If you’re tired
If you’re wondering whether you should wait

Don’t. Come as you are. Get in the frame anyway.

I’ll guide you the whole way, keep it relaxed, and make sure you walk away with photos that feel like you again.

Availability is sitting in my Stories until May. Tap through and book your date.

Through the emotions.
Through the hard stuff.
Through the parts I’m still learning to carry.

2025 was reflection.
Acknowledging growth was required.
Prioritising my health.
Changing the daily habits.
Planning ahead so there’s more room to breathe.

More travel.
And learning new ways of loving Lenny in a way that lands for him.

2025 stretched me.
And I’m grateful it did.

Here’s to a healthier, more loving, more exciting 2026.
