About meAt the heart of my childcare photography, lies the magic of play. I believe those genuine moments of joy are where true childhood memories are made. My approach to taking beautiful childcare / kindergarten photos is simple. We create a world where children are so immersed in fun and laughter, they completely forget about the camera. By fostering a relaxed and playful atmosphere, I allow their personalities to shine, resulting in natural, fun photographs.
These candid moments, filled with wonder and joy, become timeless treasures for families to cherish.

One of the most common questions I get from parents is, 'What should my child wear for their childcare or kinder photos?' And it's a great question! Let's start by setting your mind at ease.
Shy children can be a challenge during a photo shoot, but with the right approach, you can help them feel comfortable and capture beautiful moments. Here are some tips to consider.
Registering your child for their photos is quick and easy! You’ll receive a flyer with all the details before photo day, and your centre will also display posters as reminders. It’s essential to register your child as individual photos won’t be taken without registration. This registration process also provides me with the necessary permission to photograph your child. It only takes a few minutes, so please make sure to register!
Melbourne weather can be unpredictable, but don’t worry about rain on photo day! My priority is the safety and comfort of the children and staff. I’ll work closely with the centre to find the best solution. If possible, we’ll try to capture outdoor photos during any breaks in the weather. However, if the weather is unsafe, we’ll move the fun indoors and take photos of the children enjoying their day there.
I understand that some children can be a little shy or hesitant about having their photo taken. My approach is relaxed and playful, and I give each child time to warm up to the camera. While big smiles are always lovely, my goal is to capture each child’s unique personality, whether they’re smiling or simply enjoying their time at childcare. I focus on creating a fun and comfortable environment so I can capture natural and genuine moments.
I understand that sickness and unforeseeable circumstances take place and this may mean your child cannot attend the centre on the day you have registered them for photos. As I am generally at each centre for more than 1 day, there may be the opportunity to bring your child in on another day and I can photograph them then. Please contact me to reschedule your child’s photos for another day during my time at your centre.
"A wonderful photographer! The photos are really natural and she managed to get the most stunning photos of our 13 month old. Very patient with babies also, which is an added bonus."
