Your Perth Maternity Photographer
Creativity That Cuts Through the Ordinary Like a Blade.
Wanna know what I’m all about?
I create photos that remind women they’re powerful as hell, not just “pretty and cute”.
I was deep in the postpartum trenches with my third baby when I was desperate to do something other than nappies, snack bitching and tantrum settling.
As lovely and beautiful motherhood is, I was craving something outside of that, something that feels like me, adult conversation, creativity, all the bits.
I know what it’s like to feel awkward in front of the camera or to just simply not feel like yourself, so I’ve built an experience where awkward doesn’t stand a chance. Every shoot is designed to be fun and full of laughter and confidence. It’s not just about photos, it’s about you walking away remembering exactly who the hell you are and feeling like the god damn fkn queen.

Not Your Average Perth Photographer
Mum of three little ones who keep me on my toes, a perfectionist (it’s the Virgo in me), little bit unhinged (in the best way) and full time hype girl.
I started this gig knee deep in nappies, coffee overload and chaos, craving something that was for me - something that lit me up and honestly, having adult conversations (and not going back to a 9-5) was a big bonus, lol.
My partner bought me my first camera on my birthday and to be honest it hasn’t really been put down since. I invested in education and courses, mentoring, practised on everything and everyone because I was deadset on making this work.
One thing about me is that once I have my mind set on something, I don’t stop until it’s done.
My first maternity session set everything in stone for me.
I loved every minute of it, seeing a gorggg mama feeling a bit nervous, maybe even a bit awkward and watching that fade away was THE BEST FEELING. Because I know what that feels like, I've been there three times over.
Aaaanyway fast forward, I put together a fully styled shoot (cowgirl western vibes) and that’s when it reallllyyyy hit me.
This was it.
Powerful, out of the “norm” maternity was what I was made for.
She literally thanked me before she even saw a single photo, purely because of the way I made her feel, from the laughter, the hyping up, the outfits... it sent her confidence through the roof, and I'm sorry but that energy is stayinggggg.
Now I get to create images that make women feel untouchable. I’m not here for “safe” or “just cute”. I’m here to make you feel bold, empowered and obvs a little legendary.

Connection
If flowy boho gowns frollicking in a field is what you’re after, I’m not your girl (unless you want to add some leopard and boots).
BIG YES, every mama deserves to feel powerful in their own skin. I’ll hype you until you believe it.
Forget cookie cutter shoots. Every session is styled and built to feel unique and epic.
Laughter, and a little chaos are part of the experience. If you’re not belly laughing then we’re doing it wrong.
These aren’t just photos, they’re moments that remind you of who you are, fierce, iconic and powerful.
