Christmas Sessions This Way! 〰️
Families don't need to perform to be worthy of beautiful photos.
Your real life—messy, loud, ordinary, and full of love is more than enough.
Newcastle & Lake Macquarie Family Photographer | Real Stories, Not Performances
Hi, I'm Nic, and I photograph families who genuinely adore each other - the little neck squeezes, the belly laughs, all the moments that make you... you.
Here's what I believe - the best family photos happen when you're just being yourselves.
For families who want more than a nice photo to hang on the wall...
What I Actually Do
I help families let go of perfection and reconnect with each other in the middle of real life.
I help mums feel confident, calm, and seen—exactly as they are right now.
I help families slow down and notice the beauty in the chaos, creating photos that feel honest and alive.
Because that's what you'll actually want to remember.
Wondering what it’s like to actually work with me?
Meet Nic - I'll walk you through exactly what a session feels like. No awkward posing, no pressure to be perfect, just a relaxed experience where you actually enjoy yourself.
No performance required. Just connection, tenderness, and all the real stuff that makes you... you.
Pure anticipation before the sleepless nights. Let's capture the magic of becoming.
The sacred rhythm of a family finding its new beat. Love letters to those first tender days.
I'm Nic — and I love the real stuff.
The sun-warmed skin, the way your toddler reaches for you without thinking, all those moments that feel simple but actually aren't.
Here's the thing - your regular afternoons are actually magic.
Let's capture the bedhead snuggles, the kitchen dance parties, all the real stuff that makes your family yours.
Ready to remember this exactly as it is?
I help families let go of perfection and see the beauty in their real, messy, loud, loving life.

Love notes from my clients…

We are not the kind of people who love having our photo taken so felt a bit apprehensive, particularly when I was pregnant and not necessarily feeling my best! Any worries disappeared the minute Nicole started working - she was so encouraging and gave us helpful directions which made everything way less awkward"

"“I was anxious having never had professional photos taken before, I thought we would look awkward and uncomfortable. However, as soon as we started the session you made us feel very comfortable reminding us to act just how we would normally, resulting in the most beautiful photos!”

"For our newborn shoot you could absolutely tell that Nicole has a background as an early childhood teacher, she was so sweet and confident with our little baby. I also didn't want super posed unnatural photos, and Nicole captured such natural moments that truly feel like a snapshot of the time - we will cherish these for years to come!

“I have already recommended Nicole to a close friend and she had her maternity shoot a couple of weeks ago! I told her how wonderful we found the experience and how highly we recommended Nicole - she is someone you can trust with your precious memories. But honestly I didn't need to say much at all as the pictures speak for themselves. The hardest part is picking which ones to print and frame as they are all so perfect.

I would 100% recommend you to everyone, letting them know how lovely you are, our photo session felt easy and comfortable, you gave us guidance on outfits which is always helpful when I’m not a girly girl!!”

"My boys are both VERY energetic and most times find it hard to concentrate so I worried that anyone that took photos of our family would judge us resulting in my family not having great experience.. this never happened and we all had such a great time!”

“My biggest worry was that Archie would not want photos done and would get upset, and in the beginning he didn’t really seem keen, but you were so fantastic giving him the time he needed to get used to the camera so we could capture his little personality”

“My favourite part of the photo session was how much you hype us up whilst taking our photos! Your love for capturing our love made everything feel so much more special”
