Family photos

“Have you ever looked at photos that photographers take of their mates and their family and wish you were one so your life could look that awesome too? We booked a family session and what we got back was so very much more than just photos, it was a reminder of all that we love about life as we know it. You will absolutely not ever regret spending money on the art you’ll get back from this wonderful human.”

Libby Coates

Perth Family Photographer

If you are a parent you would know first hand how each week flows on into the next and all of a sudden the candles on their cake are double digits.

There is no rewind or pause once you have children.

Family photography acts as an archive of our lives from ordinary to momentous and everything in between. Pictures of your family will remind you about times in life, how it looked, sounded and felt.

This meaningful art can be hung on your walls and connect you to your history, a time and place. To a nostalgia.

Record life, it's beautiful.

When you take a seat in front of my camera, I work to lift the veil on your family to create art that illustrates your life.

Meet your family photographer

I’ve have loved photography for as long as I can remember. I’m a visual person so it just makes sense.

I constantly view my life through a lens. Its my memory, a friend, confidant, greatest teacher and my passion. Without it, I'd be lost.

Its important you know that I am not just a photographer but a parent too. When I shoot families it comes from a place of understanding.

I’m in awe of all things human so whatever takes a seat in front of me, I treat with my continuous curiosity.

The Evolution

I have been documenting the lives of my own children for 14 years.

Having a family of my own and being able to photograph them regularly has been one of the greatest gifts of life.

It has allowed me to truly understand what family life is which allows me to document it in a very honest and authentic way.

Certain events that have marked my path, motherhood, family life, the loss of my mother.

The way I see has been altered, evolved and it is always present in everything I document.

  1. All I need from you is one hour of your time. Just one hour.

  2. I will work with you to find a time that suits your family.

  3. I work with you to find a location that works for you all. I love working with families in their homes as I know kids are comfortable and thats where so much of life happens. But if not, we can work out a location together that works.

  4. I will hold your hand through the details to get ready for your shoot like what to wear etc. But bottom line is I just want you to feel comfortable in front of the camera.

  5. Through the shoot I encourage parents to let go and just be with their children. No need to bribe them or entertain them. I will move been observing them and giving gentle direction so that I can document your family as authentically as possible.

The nostalgia of analouge film

Want to add film on to your package?

I shoot film because the aesthetic and quality can’t be replicated. Its such a beautiful medium and really adds a depth to your gallery.

I offer a film add for those that appreciate the medium.

For an additional $120 you can add 1 x roll of 35 mm film (36 shots) on to any package you choose.

Just pick a session that says ‘with film’.
