photos that are felt in the heart.

My goal is to capture

I believe in photographing those little things you might not even notice that capture your flow as a family. The in-between moments, glances, crinkle-eye smiles, goosebumps. There’s nothing more beautiful and fascinating to me than the pure joy and the unconditional love parents have for their children. 

There’s no need for perfect poses, perfect weather, perfect outfits, or a perfect location to capture the perfect memory. It’s about a snapshot in time - those photos that allow you to hold a feeling in your hands.

hi, my name is janine.

"Our experience with Janine was beyond words!"

"Not only is she's a very talented photographer, her gentle and kind nature made us and especially our daughters sooo comfortable during the whole process. I can also see that Janine is very passionate about what she does and it really shines from all of her work. Thank you so much Janine for taking our first family photos. I surely will treasure this forever! x - Angela



At White Salt Photography, I specialise in natural, heartfelt family photography in Melbourne, capturing the real, unposed moments that make your story uniquely yours. Whether you're welcoming a newborn, celebrating the beauty of motherhood, or documenting your growing family, my goal is to create timeless, emotional images that feel true to you.

As a Melbourne family photographer, I focus on candid, storytelling photography—capturing the deep connections, laughter, and love that make your family special.
I believe in preserving the fleeting moments of childhood, from tiny hands wrapped around yours to belly laughs that echo through your home.
These are the moments you’ll want to remember forever.

Rather than stiff, posed portraits, your session will feel natural, relaxed, and full of movement. I encourage play, interaction, and genuine connection, so when you look back at your photos, you’ll remember exactly how this season of life felt.

I offer on-location family photography across Melbourne, including Malvern, the Dandenong Ranges, Mornington Peninsula, Richmond, Williamstown, Hawthorn, and beyond. Whether we document your story in the comfort of your home or a beautiful outdoor setting, I’ll help you choose a location that feels meaningful to you.

If you’re looking for a Melbourne newborn photographer, maternity photographer, or baby photographer who values storytelling, connection, and creating heirloom-quality images, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s create something beautiful together!
