the heart behind my work
My photography reflects the playful spirit of your family, while capturing the moments that tell your story.
I love the adventure of family life - muddy shoes, salty hair, laughter everywhere - just as much as the quiet moments that show the love between your family.
I take the time to get to know you and create a relaxed, easy space where you can just be yourselves.

The process - made simple
-
Once you’re ready, fill out the contact form (or send an email) and I will help you map out what will work best for your family.
After we’ve found a date, I’ll send through your booking details, including your invoice and agreement and upon completion, your session is officially secured.
-
We’ll chat via phone or email to plan all the fun details — from choosing a location that feels right to your family, to what to wear and anything else you’d like to know.
I’ll also send a short questionnaire so I can get to know your family and plan the best possible session for you.
-
Yay! The fun part! Before your session, I’ll send through everything you need to know including where to meet and weather plans so everything feels easy on the day.
Around 3 weeks later, your gallery will arrive, filled with the beautiful moments from your session. Choose your favourite 15, or upgrade to the full gallery - with your final images ready to download.

commonly asked questions
-
It will be ok! I know it seems scary but you will have so much time to ease into it and I promise no forced poses and the awkwardness will disappear once you all settle in. You don’t even have to look at me, just your babies!
-
Firstly I do not want you to worry! We have so much settling in time and will go at their pace and work it in with your whole family. I wholeheartedly understand and we will talk about it in depth beforehand, so you know what to expect and what we can do to make it the calmest and funnest experience possible.
-
I know it can feel daunting — I truly understand, but families always tell me they’re so glad they did it for the beautiful photos and the experience they had together. Try to remember, one later night won’t undo their routine, I’ll gently guide things with lots of fun, follow your little one’s cues and wind things down if needed.
-
The shoot takes approximately 60, sometimes longer and somtimes a little less, depending on the environment and how much settling in time your little (or big one) may need.
-
If someone is unwell your session fee is transferable. Weather is always unpredictable, a little rain or cloud can create some pure magic in the sky but in the event of unsafe weather, we will reschedule for a new date.
-
I will send you tips on what to wear once booked, but first things first is be you! If denim shorts and a white t-shirt is your thing, wear that! But most importantly be comfortable :)
-
Within 3 weeks after your session, your images will be ready to for viewing via an online gallery.
“We are so incredibly thankful to have Fiona as our family photographer. From the start, we thought it might be challenging to do a photoshoot with a toddler, but Fiona was amazingly agile, flexible, and patient. She captured our family so beautifully — the emotions, the warmth, and the love — exactly as I had hoped and shared in my brief.
Fiona is so easy to communicate with, very professional, and at the same time genuinely warm and easy to talk to. You can really tell she is highly experienced, always calm, and full of great advice throughout the shoot.
We truly and wholeheartedly recommend Fiona, especially to young families like ours. We couldn’t be happier with our photos and the entire experience” 🤍 -Nezily
