THE HEIRLOOM SESSION
THE HEIRLOOM SESSION
For the family you have now, and the family story you will carry forever.
WHY THESE PHOTOGRAPHS MATTER
Extended family photographs are about more than getting everyone looking at the camera.
They are about documenting the people who make up your family story.
The grandparents who watched your children grow.
The siblings who grew up together and now have families of their own.
The cousins who may one day become lifelong friends.
The aunties, uncles, parents and children who all make your family what it is.
Right now, these moments can feel ordinary.
Everyone together. Kids running around. Someone laughing too loudly. Grandparents cuddling the little ones. Someone trying to get everyone to stand still.
But years from now, these are the photographs that become incredibly precious.
FOR NOW
These photographs are a way of remembering this exact chapter of your family.
The ages your children are right now.
The little personalities they have.
The people they reach for.
The way your family fits together today.
Not just the perfectly posed photograph, but the little moments in between.
The hands. The cuddles. The laughter. The connection.
FOR LATER
One day, your children will be grown.
They'll look back at these photographs and see the people who surrounded them when they were little.
They'll see their grandparents when they were younger. They'll see their cousins as children. They'll see the faces of family members they may not remember clearly themselves.
And eventually, these photographs may become part of their own family's history.
That is what makes them heirlooms.
They aren't just photographs for your family today.
They become pieces of your family history for the generations that come after yo
THE PEOPLE WHO MATTER
The Heirloom Session is intentionally designed around your family
We'll photograph everyone together, but we'll also create space for the relationships within your family.
Grandparents with their grandchildren.
Parents with their children.
Siblings together.
Cousins together.
Grandparents with their adult children.
Individual family units.
And, of course, the little moments that happen naturally between it all.
You don't have to choose just one combination.
We make room for the whole story.
YOUR HEIRLOOM SESSION
One hour | The whole family | A collection of generations
Your Heirloom Session is approximately one hour, giving us enough time to slow down and photograph all the different connections within your family.
We'll begin with everyone together before moving through different family combinations throughout the session.
I'll gently guide you through each grouping so you aren't left wondering where to stand or what to do.
We'll capture the important photographs, but we'll also leave room for the children to be themselves, for grandparents to interact with the little ones and for those beautiful in-between moments to naturally unfold.
There is no need to make everyone behave perfectly.
The little bit of chaos is part of your family too.
The session can include:
The entire extended family
Each individual family unit
Grandparents with grandchildren
Grandparents with their children
Siblings together
Cousins together
Parents with their children
Individual portraits of the children
Smaller combinations throughout the session
Natural candid moments and connection
The goal isn't to spend an hour creating one perfect photograph.
It's to create a collection of photographs that tells the story of your family as a whole.
So when you look back, you don't just have one photograph of everyone standing together.
You have the grandparents.
The cousins.
The siblings.
The little hands.
The big hugs.
The laughter.
You have the people.
And one day, you'll have the memories too.

People don’t come to me to be styled into something they’re not. They come to be met exactly where they are.
I pay attention to the small things most people miss. The way someone softens when they finally feel comfortable. The way a hand instinctively rests over a growing belly. The way silence can say more than direction ever could.
My work isn’t about directing every detail—it’s about noticing you. Really noticing you. Creating a space where you don’t have to explain yourself, perform confidence, or try to “get it right.”
I guide gently, but I listen more than I speak. I watch for the moments that are already happening on their own, and I make room for them to unfold without interruption.
People often tell me they forget the camera is there. That they felt calm. Understood. Unrushed. Like they could just exist without being shaped into something else.
That’s what I aim for every time: not just to photograph how someone looks, but to reflect back how they felt in a way that feels honest, familiar, and deeply seen.
The feeling
Choosing the right location is an important part of your experience, and it's something we'll decide together. Over the years, I've carefully trialled and tested locations across Sydney and the Hawkesbury to find places that feel warm, inviting, and naturally beautiful.
I don't just choose a location because it's popular I choose it because it photographs beautifully, suits the light, and creates a relaxed space where you can simply be yourselves. Every session is different, and I'll recommend a location that complements your story and the feeling you want your images to have.
Location
Client Wardrobe
Your family session includes complimentary access to my carefully curated client wardrobe, available for mum at no extra cost.
Each piece has been thoughtfully chosen for its timeless style, beautiful textures, neutral tones, and the way it photographs beautifully in natural light. The collection is designed to make coordinating outfits simple, while keeping the focus on the connection and moments between you.
Before your session, we’ll chat about your family, chosen location, and the overall look you love. I’ll help guide you through outfit choices and styling so everything feels cohesive, natural and true to your family.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Kids Will Be Kids
No Pressure. No Perfect Poses. Just Your Family.
Children don’t always want to sit still, smile on cue or follow a plan and that’s completely okay. In fact, some of my favourite images happen when we let them simply be themselves.
There is no expiration date on your session and no pressure to get everything perfect on the day. If your little ones need time to warm up, have a big burst of energy, get distracted, or simply aren’t feeling it, we’ll work with them rather than against them.
I’ll follow their lead, turn moments into games, give them space when they need it and gently guide them when needed. We’ll capture the cuddles, the giggles, the wild little moments and everything in between.
Because childhood isn’t perfect and your photos don’t need to be either. They just need to be real, full of connection, and completely yours.
FAQ
PAYMENT PLANS
Yes! I offer flexible payment plans to
make booking easier and more accessible. A non-refundable retainer is required to secure your date, and the remaining balance can be split into scheduled payments leading up to your session.
WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?
Turnaround time depends on the type of
session. Standard sessions are typically
delivered within 6 weeks, and
weddings/events within 8 weeks. You’ll
receive a private online gallery where you
can download and share your images.
DO YOU PROVIDE RAW FILES?
I do not provide RAW files to clients, as they do not reflect the final quality of my work. RAW files are unedited, straight from the camera sensor and require professional editing to reach their full
potential. By delivering only the finished, edited images, I ensure you receive high-quality photos that showcase my artistic style and expertise.”
TRAVEL FEES?
Travel within Richmond is included at
no additional cost. For locations
beyond Richmond, a travel fee of $1
per kilometre (round trip) will apply.
This will be calculated from Richmond
to your session location and added to
your booking.
CLIENT WARDROBE?
I have a curated client wardrobe available
for mums and babies to make styling your
session easy and stress-free. Baby pieces
range from size 00000 through to size 4. If
you’re looking for options for older
children, just ask I’m happy to share
what I currently have available.
WHEN TO BOOK?
As soon as possible. I often book out well
in advance, so securing your session early
is recommended to ensure availability
around your preferred timeframe.
