Mum to 7-year-old, neuro-spicy twin boys, living in the Blue Mountains, so yes, I get the busy, messy, joyful chaos of family life. I know how fast it all changes, and how much the little moments matter.
I've got a soft spot for nostalgic, sentimental images with a touch of '70s warmth. The kind of photos that stop you in your tracks years from now, like the ones I still love showing my own boys.
My goal? Celebrate your family's version of love. The play and connection, and a beautiful backdrop to match. Got a beloved car, caravan, or a thing your family always does together? Let's weave it in and make the session truly yours.
Below: the sessions I offer, what to expect, the investment, and how to book when you're ready.
Families: This is your time to explore somewhere new and make memories - I'm just along for the ride. Chase your kids, play, follow their lead. I'll catch the in-between moments: the belly laughs, the cheeky grins.
Maternity: A celebration of what your body's doing right now. Outdoors in nature or a cosy in-home session - either way, your bump gets the spotlight.
Newborn: A time capsule of your newborn love-bubble. I come to you, capture the bond and the tiny details, and keep things natural, relaxed and lightly posed. Minimal props, all focus on you and bub. Happy to shoot outdoors too, if you'd prefer.
Cake Smash & Splash: Outdoors, playful, and deliberately messy. Your littlie digs into cake (you provide it, for allergy safety), then gets a splash in a warm bubble bath after. I'm happy to plan a theme with you, and there's time for family shots too.
Special Occasions: Birthdays, reunions and more. I capture the speeches, the group shots, the little details, and all the candid in-between moments. Natural light only - so I don't shoot evening events. $800 for the first two hours, then $80/hour after. Includes the full gallery. $100 non-refundable booking fee at booking, balance due 3 days before. Travel included up to 30km from Winmalee (Blue Mountains, Hawkesbury & Sydney).

The moment photos alone can't hold.
A twirl. A running race. That laugh that only happens once. Photos freeze it, this brings it back to life.
Available as an add-on to any session, I stitch frames from your shoot into a custom, music-backed film that moves the way your family actually moves. It's the one that gets replayed. The one your kids ask for on their birthday, years from now. The one that makes you cry a little the first time you watch it back.
45–60 second custom film, set to music
Landscape version for the TV/computer
Vertical version, ready to share
Only available as an add-on. It's captured differently to a standard session, so it has to be booked in alongside your shoot. Payment due with your balance, 3 days before.
See examples below.

“From the moment Lisa came into our home, she made us feel comfortable and relaxed… The whole experience was easy, fun and stress-free, and we love our photos so much. We are so glad to have found ‘our’ family photographer.”
