Brisbane Family Photographer

turning your family’s story into timeless art

Heartfelt, sentimental photography that captures the fleeting moments you never want to forget.

For the love that lives in the quiet moments.

The wild chaos.
And all the beautiful in between.

This season of life, messy, fleeting, beautifully full, is already enough.
You don’t need perfect outfits, curated poses, or a toddler that “co-operates.”

You just need to show up as you are.

I create slow, connection-led photo sessions for families who want more than just a highlight reel. Together, we’ll follow your rhythm, let the moments unfold naturally, and hold onto the kind of love that often slips by unnoticed.

This is photography that reflects how your life truly feels. Rooted in light, presence, and the stories you’re still living.

Your Session, Your Way

If you’re after family photos that feel natural, not stiff, staged, or overly posed, you’re in the right place.

I’m a Brisbane family photographer specialising in lifestyle sessions that feel relaxed, real, and rooted in connection. My photography style is slow, gentle, and centred on capturing what matters most: the love, the chaos, and the in-between moments you never want to forget.

There is no pressure to pose perfectly. No stress if your baby cries or if your toddler runs wild. We move at the pace of your family, with time, space, and plenty of grace.

I truly believe the best photos happen when life is allowed to unfold as it happens and you’re fully in the moment.

Whether we’re capturing a cozy in-home newborn session, golden hour maternity photos, or a playful outdoor family session here in Brisbane, I’ll gently guide you but never force anything. My job is to notice what’s already beautiful and turn it into lasting memories.

You’ll walk away with photos that don’t just document this chapter, they’ll help you remember how it all felt…

Photos that felt like home.

One day, this will all be a blur.

The little feet running wild.
The way they said “Mummy.”
The quiet, everyday magic that held it all together.

Let’s hold onto the parts you’ll miss the most.

Hi, I’m Megan, and I know just how fast this season moves.

I’m a mum of two boys, a deeply sentimental soul, and a Brisbane family photographer who understands how quickly the days blur when you’re raising little humans.

Photography has always been my way of pressing pause. Not just to remember what life looks like in any given moment, but to hold onto how it feels.

For the past three years, I’ve been working with families across Brisbane, capturing the quiet, chaotic, wildly beautiful moments that often go unnoticed but mean everything in hindsight.

Whether we’re at home for a newborn session or chasing the golden light at your favourite Brisbane park, my approach is always the same:

Gentle, unrushed, and rooted in connection. No stiff poses, and no pressure to perform.

I’ll guide you softly, follow your family’s lead, and create space for whatever the day brings – snack breaks, giggles, wild energy, and all.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about preserving the love you’re living right now, with honesty, care, and a whole lot of heart.

You’ll receive a beautifully designed Welcome Guide straight to your inbox, plus access to my Motherhood Wardrobe and optional outfit support via email. My goal? For you to feel seen, nurtured, and beautiful, before we even pick up the camera.

Being in front of the camera can feel vulnerable; I completely get it. That’s why my sessions are built around comfort, connection, and trust.

I’ll guide you gently throughout your session, helping you settle in and feel at ease while creating space for genuine moments of love, laughter, and presence to unfold. There’s no pressure to “perform”; I want you to feel free to show up as yourselves.

So go ahead, embrace the chaos, move with the moment, and trust me when I say that the most meaningful photos are the ones that aren’t forced.
