Most people want to be in the moment —
WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT CAPTURING IT.
You want to soak in the small things — the way your baby rests against your chest, the glow of anticipation before they arrive, the wind in your daughter’s hair as she runs toward the sea.
But you also want to remember it all.
You want beautiful, timeless photographs of your family
— but the idea of organising a session feels overwhelming.
You’re worried about your toddler having a meltdown, your newborn not settling, or not knowing what to do in front of a camera.
You want to feel relaxed, connected, and comfortable — not rushed, posed, or awkward.
You want this season documented honestly — with feeling
— without pressure, and without missing the magic in between.
I create that space for you.
I believe in documenting this season with calm, intention, and expert guidance.
After photographing over 250 weddings across Australia and internationally, I’ve learned how to quietly read a moment and hold space for emotion — even when there’s chaos in the background. But it wasn’t until becoming a mother myself that I truly understood how quickly time moves in this season.
Now, I bring the same storytelling eye and calming energy into every family session — giving you permission to just be with your people, while I gently guide the rest.
Whether it’s a beachside maternity session or a slow, sleepy newborn shoot at home, I’m here to help you feel safe, seen, and beautifully held — so you can let go, be present, and trust that every detail is taken care of.
This is why I’ve created this offering
So that families like yours can press pause — and keep these moments forever.
If you want photographs that hold emotion, not just a pose — you’re in the right place.
Whether you’re growing your family or documenting the ones who helped shape it, these sessions are crafted to feel relaxed, heartfelt, and beautifully you.
Every detail is designed with intention — from styling support to location planning and gallery delivery — so you can be fully present in the moment while I capture the magic of it.
She made us feel so relaxed and it definitely is reflected through the photos.

THE DETAILS
WHERE TO FROM HERE
01.
We begin with your vision
and shape a session that feels like YOU
Whether it’s your first family photo or your third baby, I’ll guide you from the very start. We’ll choose a location that reflects your story — maybe barefoot on the beach at sunset, or cuddled on the lounge at home with your newborn. I’ll help you feel prepared but not overwhelmed, offering gentle styling advice, a what-to-expect guide, and space for all your questions.
02.
The session unfolds
and I capture the beauty in the in-between
You don’t need to pose or smile on cue. I’ll guide you naturally with small prompts, but mostly I’ll observe and document — the way your toddler wraps their arms around your leg, how you brush the hair from your daughter’s eyes, that soft sigh of your newborn sleeping on your chest.
You’ll be free to simply be with your people. I’ll take care of the rest.
03.
Your story becomes art
imagery TO treasure for a lifetime & Beyond
Within a few weeks, you’ll receive a thoughtfully curated gallery of hand-edited images. Each one a reflection of your connection, your season, your family as they are — poetic, timeless, full of soul.
You’ll be able to download, share, and revisit your gallery again and again. With options to transform your images into beautiful albums and art for your home — heirlooms you’ll pass down for generations.

Chelsea was a dream to work with. Not only a true master behind their craft, but made my husband and I feel so comfortable. The results and outcomes are reflected in their art. Show-stopping every time. It was everything that we had hoped for and we have heard nothing but positive comments from our friends and family.
KRYSTAL
The nicest person and incredibly talented at what she does. Easily explained to us how to pose so we never felt awkward like we didnt know what to do and kept it so fun!! So easy to deal with on the lead up and had everything covered. So cool, calm and collected, the whole time. We are in love with our photos!!!
SAM
She made us feel so relaxed and it definitely is reflected through the photos as you can see just how much fun we were having. Not once did we feel uncomfortable and this is because of how professional Chelsea is and how fun she is to work with. She has created the most beautiful photos for us and we are forever grateful.
GOT SOME QUESTIONS?
Absolutely fantastic! Communicated incredibly – making us feel so comfortable SO quickly. I wouldn’t choose anyone else to capture these memories that are going to last us a life time. Cannot thank, or recommend enough!!
