As a photographer for newborns and young families in Geelong (as well as Ballarat and Melbourne!), I’m so honoured to step into people’s homes to capture those organic, meaningful moments that make up a family’s beautiful ordinary love story.

Enjoy some snippets of my professional photography, made with families residing in the greater Geelong region and beyond.
