The dress is hanging up.
Shoes lined up by the door.
Hair done, flowers pinned, nerves and excitement all mixed together.

Deb day just hits different 🥹✨

Before the cars arrive and the night flies by, let’s slow it down for a minute and capture this season properly... the outfits, the proud parents, the awkward cute partner photos, the laughs in between. The moments you’ll actually want to remember.

I’m opening up St Arnaud Deb Minis on March 28th, 2026 🤍

We’ll meet at a beautiful local spot (or you can choose your own location depending on your time slot) and create relaxed, natural photos that feel like you, not stiff or rushed.

20 minute sessions
All images included
Deb partners + family photos always welcome
Deposit required to secure your booking

Short, sweet and full of memories.

Spots are limited, book now via the link or message to discuss a time slot and your preferred location.

Omg it’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted on here 😅
Life has been FULL — kids, work, Christmas holidays… the usual chaos.

But don’t panic… I’ve got a TONNE of incredible photos to share with you all over the next few weeks and I cannot wait!

I’m also planning some Mother’s Day Minis, more information will be out for this, so as usual, keep your eyes peeled if you're ready to get some gorgeous snaps with your little ones.

First lot of photo dumping — here’s the gorgeous wedding of Chris & Stacey at Cleveland Estate.

As this year gently comes to a close, I hope 2026 greets you with slower days, fuller hearts and moments that linger a little longer with the people who matter most.

Over the holiday period, deliveries will still be making their way out but this season also calls me home… to early mornings, quiet cuddles, shared meals and the kind of memories that live forever in the heart. Because of this, there may be some delays with gallery deliveries as we move into the new year.

Thank you for your patience, your understanding and the continued trust you place in me to capture your most meaningful moments. It means more than I can ever put into words.

From my family to yours, Merry Christmas 🎄🤍milg

I had the absolute best time capturing the wedding of Jarrod & Keisha!

Their whole day was pure joy from start to finish. So much laughter, so many cheeky moments, happy tears, dance floor chaos and just… FUN. The kind of wedding where everyone is smiling, everyone is celebrating and you can literally feel the love in the air.

Keisha looked absolutely stunning and had everyone obsessed with her dress, and Jarred could not stop grinning all day... that “I just married my favourite person” kind of grin.

From the bridal party antics to the sweetest ceremony moments to a reception that never slowed down, these two created a day that was so them.

Jarrod & Keisha, thank you for letting me be part of your magic.
Congrats again, Mr & Mrs Lennon 🤍

Every time I step behind the camera, I’m reminded that photographs aren’t just pictures.. they’re tiny time capsules of the people we love most. The cheeky grins, the shy cuddles, the way your kids wrap their arms around you without thinking… these moments pass so quickly but they deserve to be held onto forever.

I feel incredibly grateful to be invited into your family’s world, even just for a little while. To witness your laughter, your quiet moments, your chaos, your love and I get to turn those into MEMORIES you will cherish for years to come.

Here’s to every family who has trusted me this year. Thank you for letting me tell your story, for being real, for showing up exactly as you are.

These are the days you’ll want to remember.
And I’m so honoured I get to capture them for you. ✨📸

Saturday evening with Island Breeze Cocktail Bar ✨
There’s just something special about watching the sun go down while cocktails are being mixed in a bar that started as… an old caravan. Seriously. James took scraps, a vision and a whole lot of heart and turned it into the beautiful little mobile bar I shot over the weekend. 🍹🌴

If you’re planning a wedding and want those relaxed, good vibes only moments, this bar fits right in. It feels warm, effortless and a little bit magical. One of the most genuine blokes you’ll meet, pouring drinks with a smile that tells you he really loves what he does.

If you’re not already following this new brand, give Island Breeze Cocktail Bar a little love.
