Family Photography in Newcastle
Capture life as it feels
right now
Allow me to get behind the lens so that you can get in front.
Every story fascinates me. The real stories. The messy ones. From our first contact, I’ll take the time to understand what’s unique about your family and ensure our communication is always relaxed and comfortable. I’ll foster an environment of trust and calm because this vulnerability and openness is where the magic happens. My style is somewhere in between lifestyle and documentary and through my images i’ll show you the messy beauty of what this season of life has really been like. I won’t pose you awkwardly, or sculpt you into something that’s untruthful for your family, I’ll just provide gentle and natural guidance to shine a light on what makes your family special. My family photography services are available in Newcastle, Hunter Valley and surrounds.

Kind words
I recently had a Mother’s Day mini session with Emily (and my 3.5yo & 8mo) and it was such a lovely experience. She has a beautiful presence and made us all feel comfortable, and she is such a talented photographer - I’m over the moon with my gallery. I love every single photo and couldn’t pick a favourite photo if I tried! Thank you so much again, Emily, for these very special photos that I will treasure forever. I couldn’t recommend you highly enough!

I would 100% recommend Emily for anyone who is a little shy with being in front of a camera! Emily did a beautiful job directing us and creating a calm and comfortable atmosphere so that our photos were natural and candid, which is exactly what we wanted! We are so happy with the outcome, and now we have a gorgeous collection of memories to cherish. It is so special to have photos of all of us together, rather than selfies or one parent taking nice photos.
— Janis
Emily has a perfect eye for details and a great style of taking photos! We loved our effortless photo session with her (which is not easy to achieve with a 2.5 year old). We loved that she captured us in a natural/casual way which made the photoshoot fun for our toddler and not stressful at all for us parents. On top of that the results were amazing - We love our photos and can highly recommend her!

I’m so passionate about what I do! I truly enjoy capturing the in-between moments that are often so raw and messy. This unfiltered beauty is where the magic happens. Sessions with me are relaxing and stress-free. I’m simply there to capture the moment while you go about doing your thing. I exclusively use natural light in my sessions, meaning no studio setups with artificial light. My style is as natural as possible, which means instead of cheesy smiles at the camera, I will guide you to be your natural selves and will capture the genuine love, emotion and connection between you and your family.
I have a whooping cough booster – for some added peace of mind!

I get it! I really do. I can totally empathise that young kids are almost NEVER going to do what you want them to do. Please don’t worry about this at all - we can have as many snack / drinks / tantrum breaks as your little ones need.
Also keep in mind that I won’t make your kids stand still and smiling at the camera for the entire session. I really encourage your family to have fun just being yourselves; being silly and loving on each other.

If we have an outdoor session booked and it’s raining, we will reschedule for another day. We can make the call together either the night before or on the day of; I’ll be in contact in the days leading up to the session to chat about our options.
