I'm a mama to 5yo twin boys. I live in the Blue Mountains and I love exploring nature, spending quality time and making memories with my boys. I'm super sentimental and nostalgic. I love looking back at the photos of my childhood hanging on my walls and sharing the memories with my boys. My passion is capturing families, expectant mums, newborns and bubs who are celebrating their first lap of the sun. I have a big appreciation for nature and love experiencing what it has to offer. I want to celebrate you and your family's unique love whilst incorporating play, connection, beautiful landscapes in your photographs. If there is something special or fun you do as a family, we can incorporate that into your session as well.
Families: I want you to view your session as a chance to spend time as a family, to create memories and explore somewhere new, and I’m just coming along for the ride. I'll capture the un-staged moments. Let your kids be kids, chase them, play with them, explore the environment and follow their lead. These times are precious and I'll be there to snap the in between moments, the belly laughs and cheeky smiles.
Maternity: These sessions are a celebration of how incredible a woman's body is. I want you to feel empowered by this season of life. We'll choose a location in the great outdoors, or if you’d prefer an in-home session, and capture your bump in all its glory.
Newborn: Let's create a beautiful time capsule of your newborn love-bubble. I'll come to your home and capture the love and bond you have with your little one with organic poses and capturing the tiny details. My style of photography is natural and relaxed. I'll ensure the focus remains on you and your baby. If you like, we can also take your newborn session outdoors.
Cake Smash & Splash: Held outdoors to incorporate nature and the freedom of play, I'll provide a cute setup for your littlie to dig in to some yummy cake. After getting all sticky, I'll set up a tub with warm water and bubbles for your little one to have fun getting all cleaned up. Fitting with the outdoor setting, I keep the decorations fairly neutral with pops of colour. Due to allergy concerns, I ask that my clients provide the cake. During this session there's also an opportunity for family photos as well.
Special Occasions: I also photograph special events - birthday parties, baptisms, etc. I capture speeches, group shots, fine details like decorations, as well as the overall vibe of the event, by photographing a lot of candid moments. The fee for special occasions is $650 for the first two hours + $75 per hour after that. I photograph these events all over the Blue Mountains, Hawkesbury and Sydney, with travel included up to 30km from Winmalee.
Let’s catch those memories that tell your family’s story!

“Just received our photos from Lisa and we were blown away! The session was relaxed, comfortable and just felt like hanging with a friend who was taking some photos. Because it didn’t feel ‘posey’ I wasn’t sure how they would turn out, but the only word that does it justice is ‘magical’. A moment in time and in our lives captured so beautifully. Thank you.”
- Anne
