You and your family are amazing.
Are you perfect? Probably not.
Does it matter? Not in the slightest.
We all have our preferences, quirks, aversions and insecurities. I embrace and celebrate all of this, as that’s what makes your family beautifully unique. I’ll capture what makes you, you, in a way that is candid, relaxed and natural.
When you book with me your session will be stress-free, inclusive and fun – I promise. My goal? For it to be something you will remember and talk about for a long time afterwards. I want you to look back on your images with tenderness and think “that was a great day”.

"Kate was amazing. My partner went along with photos because I wanted them, but left saying how much fun he had."
Hi, I'm Kate. I am a family photographer specialising in candid outdoor sessions. This allows me to create not only stunning images but amazing experiences that you will remember. I want to capture you and your family in all their everyday, messy, ordinariness.
There is no need for you to be anything but yourselves - however that presents. My goal is to put you at ease in front of my camera and capture not only how you look but how it FEELS to be part of your wonderful family.
About Your Melbourne Family Photographer
What Makes My Photo Sessions Different?
My sessions are low key and casual which means they are perfect for those who don't like having their photo taken or who may have additional or special needs and I pride myself on being accessible and inclusive.
If it takes a little longer for some of you to warm up to the camera or we need to stop and take breaks that is totally ok. I try and make my sessions like hanging out with a friend and I'm certainly not watching the clock.
They Are totally Relaxed
I'm not fussed about what you wear and want to capture your authentic selves. Feel free to come dressed up or if you prefer come in your jeans and gumboots if that is what makes you feel comfortable.
If you aren't a fan of public displays of affection, have a child who won't hold your hand or there is a tricky or complex family dynamic that's ok. No one is perfect. I'm certainly not and don't need you to be either.
There's No Expectation Or Judgement
I totally follow the lead of the little people I work with and meet them where they are at. This means you don't have to be concerned or stressed about how your children behave or act during the session. If they are shy, cheeky, clingy or anything else I will embrace it and capture them as they truly are.
You can learn more about exactly how this works and my specific way of working with young people in my child empowerment and wellbeing statement.
