If you shudder at the thought of being in front of the camera, you’re in for a nice surprise. My shoots are a lot of fun! You’ll feel comfortable and at ease the entire time, which means that each shot will bring out your unique personality. Not only do I make you feel comfortable, but, I can even help wrangle the little ones, capturing special family moments that will turn into beautiful memories that you can cherish forever.

Life isn’t just about what looks good on Instagram. It’s the family album that you’ll grab when the fire alarm goes off. It’s the memories you’ll share with your grandchildren and their grandchildren, and so on. It’s the ups and downs, the smiles and the tantrums, the chaos and the calm.

I love to photograph families of all types, such as pregnant mothers-to-be, newborns and older babies, either on location at one of Sydney’s most iconic destinations or in the comfort of your home.

“I am completely blown away by the photos and better yet, we had the best time throughout the shoot! I have always felt incredibly awkward being photographed, however, Sophie is so warm and friendly she lightened the mood and made it so fun we completely forgot we were being photographed! What a special experience, I will hold these photos close to my heart forever.”
