MUMS OF MELBOURNE
It's time to get yourself in the frame
Do you find yourself always asking family or friends to snap a photo of you with your kids?
When you look back at your albums, are you naturally part of the story - or does it feel overly staged and posed?
And let’s be honest… how many times have those quick selfies left you with an angle you’d rather forget?
Documentary family photography changes all of this. Too often, mums are the ones missing from the frame - even though we’re the ones carrying the weight of countless invisible jobs and holding everything together behind the scenes.
For generations, motherhood has been overlooked and undervalued. We’ve been told in so many ways that we’re not enough - too much of this, not enough of that. Too fat, too thin, too old, too emotional. The truth? None of that matters. Your mind, your body, your love, your presence - they’re all extraordinary.
You don’t need to fit into some impossible standard to deserve beautiful family photos. You don’t have to stage or perform. You simply have to show up as yourself, because you are already more than enough.
Each photograph carries with it an
original and genuine
narrative.
Why is Documentary Photography so Important?
Posed photos can feel dated over time, documentary images however, grow richer with each passing year. They tell a timeless story of your family's journey, one that future generations will cherish. The irony is that by focusing on the present's 'ordinary,' you create an extraordinary legacy.


Storytelling Images That Reflect True Personalities


Pictures That Capture Authentic Connections


Memories that are uniquely yours


That's why documenting your days is so important
Documentary Family Photography digs deep into your human experience. My belief is simple but powerful: when people are comfortable being themselves, their authentic and unique beauty shines through. I'm all about capturing the genuine moments, the unscripted emotions, and the real-life stories that make each of us one-of-a-kind.
It's never been more important to show our kids
that perfection doesn't exist
Experience the power of emotion through captivating image and film that records the essence of your reality.
Pictures have the ability to transport you back in time, providing a genuine and authentic documentation of life's mediocre moments.
Don't miss out on the opportunity to preserve moments
that you will never get back.

Privacy and Safety in Family Photography
You may have noticed that I don’t typically feature children's faces on my public pages.
Here’s why:
I prioritise safeguarding children's identities online until they can understand the implications. Privacy is important, regardless of age.
To protect children from potential risks, I avoid sharing identifiable images of minors.
When you choose me to capture your family moments, you’ll receive a private gallery of your children's photos, giving you full control over their sharing.
Thank you for understanding and helping me prioritise our children's safety and privacy.
