Honest. Earthy, Full of Heart.

Newcastle family photographer capturing the wild, warm and real moments of your story

 This is for the barefoot afternoons, the baby belly laughs, the way your kid looks at you when they think no one’s watching, the glance between you and your partner amongst the chaos of it all.

It’s for the moments that feel ordinary now, but won’t always.

For families who want more than a nice photo to hang on the wall...

Wondering what it’s like to actually work with me?

Hit play and I’ll talk you through it. No awkward posing. No pressure to be perfect. Just a relaxed, guided experience where you actually enjoy yourself — and walk away with photos you genuinely love.

Meet Nic — a Newcastle and Lake Macquarie photographer capturing real families, baby bumps, and newborn snuggles in a totally relaxed way.
This video gives you a feel for her style, her sessions, and why clients actually enjoy being in front of her camera.

No stiff smiles. No matching outfits from a catalogue.


This one’s for the barefoot explorers, the snack-bribed toddlers, and the kind of love that shows up in everyday chaos.

Let’s tell the story of your now — muddy knees, belly laughs, and all.

Before the night feeds and the wrinkly baby toes, there’s this: the waiting.


Your story begins long before baby arrives.

Let’s honour the transformation, the quiet strength, the glow — yes, even if it’s just sweat and snacks!

Tiny fingers. Heavy eyelids. The hush of a home adjusting to its newest heartbeat.


Newborn days are a blur of feeding, soothing, and wondering if you’re doing it “right.”

These aren’t just baby photos—they’re proof of the love that held it all together.

Let’s keep it simple — here’s how it works

We Chat.
Via email or phone, whatever works for you. I ask the good stuff—not just what time nap is, but what you want to remember from this chapter.

We Plan.
Location, styling, the vibe you’re dreaming of—we’ll co-create something that feels like you, not a stranger’s Instagram feed.

We Shoot.
Your job: show up and be yourselves. My job: turn those messy, fleeting, love-filled moments into art. There’s no performance here. Just presence.

You Peek.
Within days, you get a tiny taste of the magic—your sneak peek gallery, sent straight to your inbox.

The Whole Story Lands
And just like that, the photos you didn’t know you needed are yours. Images full of feeling, ready to be shared, printed, and treasured.

Let’s skip the stiff smiles and chase what’s real...

I’m Nic—and I’m here to photograph your family’s wild, tender, unrepeatable magic.

The sandy toes. The tangled hair. The way your little one reaches for your hand without thinking.
These aren’t just moments, they’re the stories you’ll carry long after the days blur.

Let’s bottle them up, exactly as they are.

Ready to slow time for just a moment?

Let’s capture your now—exactly as it is. No stress. No pressure.

Just the beauty that already lives in your every day.
