Family Photography + Newborn Photography done differently...

Why? Because your everyday moments are worth remembering.

Done differently… how?

I’m all about photographing real family moments, real memories. I call myself a documentary family photographer, which means that I come to your home and take photos of you and your family doing whatever it is you normally do. Playing. Baking. Swimming. Eating. Laughing - or crying (hopefully that’s just your toddler!)  Whatever is happening, I’m there to document it and create your family photography story. 

 
 
 

I’m here to make sure you remember what your life feels like, not just looks like.

 

Oh hey there! I’m Jess.

Welcome to my little piece of the internet. These ‘about me’ sections always feel so forced - which is why I want to keep things real (I’m all about real + authentic, not fake + forced!) 

As you might have guessed, I’m a Brisbane family photographer and newborn photographer, based in Brisbane and I spend my days either behind the camera - or running after my two little people. My house is often a mess and my kids often have food all over their faces - but you know what, they won’t be little forever and one day, I’ll be sitting in a quiet, clean house, wishing for these days back. 

Plus, it’s these kinds of everyday moments that I love to photograph for my clients - the laughter over the food smeared toddler face, the tears over the meltdown, the smiles over the cheekiness. The real moments that make real memories. So, have a look around and if you like what you see, get in touch. I’d love to meet you.

“You have absolutely captured our family to a tee. It’s an art to work with kids. The images show your ability to quietly read the room.
Silently snap the shot.
Gently gather their trust.
Thank you. These images will be treasured.”

Deb Davidson

 

 Do you hate getting your photo taken? Do you feel shy in front of a camera? (I get it, I do too!) Do you want to know something - helping camera shy people enjoy being photographed is kind of my thing. 

I specialise in documentary family photography in Brisbane - I take photos of you and your family just being themselves. There is so much beauty in the everyday and often we don’t realise it until it’s gone - that’s what I’m on a mission to change. Why? Because your everyday moments are worth remembering. As Pam Beasley once said, “I thought it was weird when you picked us to make a documentary. But, all in all, I think an ordinary paper company like Dunder Mifflin was a great subject for a documentary. There’s a lot of beauty in ordinary things. Isn’t that kind of the point?” Exactly Pam. Exactly. 

Through my Brisbane family photography, I want to capture the personalities of your little people - and, don’t worry if they’re having a bad day, or the house is a mess, or the day is full of tantrums + tears - I’m all about photographing the real moments and the connection between you as a family and I promise, there will be that moment when they calm down and want a hug and that memory right there is simply so so special.
