Kick-ass photographer, pro at juggling chaos and your go-to memory maker!

Hey, I'm Emma

MOTHER, LOVER, DOULA, TAXI DRIVER, LEGENDARY PHOTOGRAPHER AND THE HYPE GIRL YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOU NEEDED!

I've been photographing families, love stories and all the in-betweens for 12 years and I still love every second of it!

When I'm not behind the lens, you'll find me running between footy, jui-jitsu, baking cookies with my kids or embracing the mess of family life - because that is where the magic really is!

Not sure if I’m your kind of photographer?

Let's see if this sounds familiar

Have you ever dreaded the thought of getting your photo taken? Worried about the hidden costs? Thought maybe it would be just way too difficult to book a session in? Or just straight up have no clue how it all works?

Here's what it's actually like

When you book a session with me, you have nothing to worry about. There is no stress, no expectations, no need to be anyone other than yourself when you're in front of my camera. We will chat, laugh and relax together and just let the moments happen with you and your family.

 

No matter what kind of session it is, your wedding, welcoming a new baby, celebrating that baby bump, or catching up with your extended fam, you will always feel welcome and comfortable at a session with me.

And just so you know...

And what's even better than that?? I don't hide anything from you, everything you need to know is laid bare on my website - no hidden costs, no secret loop holes.  What you see is what you get!

I have had a newborn shoot and family photos done by Emma and I could not recommend her highly enough, she made us feel so welcomed and comfortable in her studio and we all had a good laugh during our sessions. Emma has captured some beautiful photos that I will cherish forever and I am forever grateful
