Everything you need to know about preparing for a session with me.
little big moments
Mini sessions are all about celebrating the magic of life as it is now. The fleeting moments of curiosity, laughter, and little hands exploring the world.
Held in the beautiful Williamstown Botanical Gardens, a year-round gem that is absolutely perfect for morning photoshoots, this location naturally encourages play and wonder.
With my authentic photography style, I’ll capture candid moments alongside natural portraits that reflect the unique rhythm of your family.
These relaxed, perfectly timed sessions are proof that even in the busiest seasons of life, your memories deserve to be beautifully preserved.

being little doesn’t last, let’s hold on to it
Thoughtfully designed for little attention spans and curious souls, these photo shoots are relaxed and stress-free. You’ll be amazed at the beautiful memories we can create together. Short and sweet, they’re ideal for capturing genuine moments before the next snack break is needed.
30 minute sessions are available Thursday mornings, Saturday mornings and Sunday mornings at Williamstown Botanical Gardens. During daylight savings they are also held mid-week at sunset.
Minis are suitable for family groups of up to 6.
These 30 minute sessions are ideal for families with young children or those who are short on time. All packages include high resolution digital downloads from an online gallery and a session preparation guide.

Mini Sessions
Life, paused
Mini sessions are relaxed, easy-going, and genuinely enjoyable — even with little ones in tow. Held at the Williamstown Botanic Gardens, the location is ideal: beautiful light, a mix of backdrops, and no need to go far for variety.
I’ll guide you just enough to help things flow, while making space for natural moments to unfold. It all moves quickly (that’s the magic of a mini!), but there’s still time for cuddles, giggles, and those in-between expressions you’ll want to remember.
I know how to work with the energy kids bring — and how to put grown-ups at ease too. You’ll leave with a beautiful collection of images and, hopefully, a sense that the whole thing was easier and more enjoyable than you ever expected.
After your session, you’ll receive a thoughtfully curated online gallery where you can view your images and choose your favourites. I’ll also guide you through ordering from a handpicked range of high-quality prints and print products to look back on for years to come. It’s all about making those memories last well beyond the day.
