Hey you, I know you’re busy, so let’s get right to the point..

family photos can be fun!

But I bet you were thinking the opposite, right?

  • Trying to get everyone onboard (both big and small) isn’t fun…

  • Getting everyone to wear something half-decent that doesn’t look like a mishmash of colours isn’t fun…

  • And making sure everyone is cooperating on the day?… DEFINITELY not fun!

I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be that way!

No matter who you are, how you dress, or how your family shows up in the world…

you deserve to be in photos you love with the people you love! 

And more than that, you deserve to have a great memory of those photos being taken!

together we’ll…

  • Turn your family session into a fun adventure, capturing genuine smiles and laughter.

  • Embrace your uniqueness as a family and give you permission to BE YOURSELVES!

  • Recognise the beauty of imperfection, and capture all the little moments that tell your family’s unique story. 

  • Allow your family to connect, and create memories that celebrates the love and bond that only you have.

Have you noticed how much easier it is to get kids (or big people) to do things when it’s fun or they get to have some control over a situation? 

I use the same strategy for family photos. 

The goal isn’t to let your kids run amuck, it’s to let your family lead the adventure and then use games and playful prompts to create photos that are full of fun and connection.  

And if you think that’s something that would only work on kids who are in primary school, think again!

Play based photos work for all age groups! I plan each session individually and use a unique approach for your fam based on what you share with me in your pre-session questionnaire.

  • “I’ve never felt pretty enough to have professional photos taken for any occasion… the thought of them made me cringe. Turns out you don’t need to be the pretty confident girl, you just need love for your family, laughter + a beautiful sunset. This is my family, this is real, this is natural, double chins and all… So proud of these, I love my family. Can’t thank Claire enough for capturing these precious moments.”

  • "I am loving these photos, I can't even begin to tell you how awesome they are. Even hubby made comment on how he loved having photos done.. and what topped it off is you making everything relaxed. Was such a great morning spent with you!"

  • “Omg those photos are beautiful I’m speechless! They’re the best. My kids look so happy and you’ve captured so many details. How did you make me look so pretty?! So gorgeous thank you a million!! xx”

  • Yes! I love offering sessions across the Southern Flinders Ranges and am happy to negotiate travel to other areas of South Australia.

  • I get it, getting the fam to agree to family photos isn’t easy! I can’t promise that you won’t get complaints, but I can promise that I will do my best to create an environment that’s fun for everyone and respects the way that your family members show up on the day. And just between you and me, there’s merit in seeking forgiveness rather than permission…
