MELBOURNE FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

The little things really are the big things - and they deserve to be captured intentionally. Nothing fills me with more joy than being witness to the beauty of your family's love, in all its untamed, fun-filled glory. Let’s bottle up that feeling and make it last.

Melbourne Family & Newborn lifestyle Photographer

Your story captured authentically.

My sessions are priced all inclusive. Which means there is no need to go through the challenging task of picking favourite images. I want you to have them all! I offer easy and straight forward pricing - no hidden costs! 

With over 13 years of experience, my sessions are totally stress-free, there is zero pressure on anyone. I will guide you and create a space where you feel like you can be just yourself. This is where the magic happens. 

My style is heavily focused on capturing real moments. There won't be any need to look at the camera and say cheese. I want to capture the love and connection you have as a family, no fake smiles, no sitting still, just let the kids be kids. 

Once booked you will receive a welcome guide to prep your kids (and husband) for the session, including location and a clothing advice. During the session I will give plenty of direction, but my goal is to guide you towards these beautiful moments. I want to capture something meaningful for your family, so you to look back and relive the little quirks and personalities your kids once had.

The in-between moments, glances, crinkle-eye smiles, goosebumps.

"I am so lucky to have found Janine!"

"So lucky to have found Janine to photograph our growing family. She truely is a storyteller with her natural, beautiful, unposed style - I have no idea how she manages to capture half the shots! Time with our babies is so fleeting, I love having those pictures of our little ones to treasure forever." - Elizabeth 

To book please get in touch via the contact form. A deposit of 50% is required to secure your spot, the balance is due on your session date. I take pride to offer a personalised service for each family I work with, for this reason I only accept 8 sessions per month. Please ensure to book in early to avoid disappointment. 

How can I book a session?

All my sessions are strictly for immediate family only. Grandparents can be added for an additional $100 per person. For extended family sessions please get in touch to discuss. 

Who can attend to the session?

My personal favourite are sessions in the comfort of your home, this is the place your kids are most relaxed. You can also do a mix of in-home and your neighbourhood, think lane ways, local beach etc. or at one of my outdoor locations at sunset. I have a list of tested and approved locations with the perfect light and setting. You can check out my favourite outdoor locations here. 

Where should we have our session? 

Absolutely! I love, love, love prints! You will have access to my pro lab within your online gallery. I offer prints, frames, albums and more. Don't let your photos collect dust on your hard drive. The most popular choice is the fine art album, which is the perfect way to look through your photos for many years to come. 

Can I order print products?

I recommend picking something that makes you feel beautiful and feels like YOU. Choosing the right out fit for your session is important and I am here to help. You can check my what to wear guide here. I am always happy to talk you through any questions you might have. 

What should we wear??

Trust me, most clients say the exact same thing. The beauty is, you don't have to look at the camera at all. My sessions aren't awkward and super posey, they are all about you spending quality time with your family. Once you start playing with your kids, you won't even notice I am there. 

We aren't very natural in front of the camera.
