Nostalgic, storytelling, documentary-style family photography

I'm a professional family photographer based in Lilydale, I do most of my sessions around the Dandenongs and the Yarra Valley but also happy to travel to your home.

My aim is always to capture your love and connection with each other in a way that feels natural, the kids (and Dad) are enjoying themselves, nothing feels forced or hard, family photos should be a good time and your creating core memories for years to come.

Book a session today, lets make some magic together.

Why hire a family photographer?

this time with your kids is so important

Its so easy to miss out on capturing the things you never want to forget, the cheeky smiles, the way they laugh and play, the sibling love and rivalry, the connections they have with you as parents and with each other. As a photographer who has my own family and has done sessions myself, I know what its like to be on the other side and to be able to just enjoy being together and then receiving a beautiful portfolio of images to cherish.

Rach did such an amazing job with our family photo shoot. She was super flexible and easy going working with my big family and little kids. And was able to capture the cute moments between our different family members. Was such a fun time getting photos taken with her and the end product was amazing! Would recommend Rach to anyone who wants to capture some beautiful family moments in a relaxed and authentic fashion.

We loved our shoot with Rach. She has such a calm nature and made the kids feel very relaxed, walking around the park and just having fun. The whole shoot happened very organically and the results show that. Thankyou so much for a fun afternoon and for making us all feel so comfortable.
