One day these photos will mean more than you could ever imagine.


SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO SEE YOUR FAMILY FROM THE OUTSIDE.

When you’re in the middle of it, you’re usually noticing completely different things.

Whether everyone is dressed. Whether the toddler needs a snack. Whether your hair is doing something weird. Whether anyone is actually going to cooperate.

Then you see a photograph and notice something else entirely.

How naturally they lean into you. How your partner looks at the kids when they’re making him laugh. How completely your family looks like… your family.

Nothing manufactured. Nothing particularly profound happening in the moment.
Just the stuff that’s so normal to you, you don’t always notice how good it is.

That’s the bit I want to give back to you.

Real life welcome here

If your first thought is “we’re awkward” or “my toddler is A LOT”, you’re in very familiar territory.

I’ve photographed shy kids, wild kids, clingy kids, newborns who would much rather stay wide awake, and plenty of partners who would happily be anywhere else than in front of a camera.

Your family doesn’t need to perform for my camera.

After more than 15 years photographing families, I know when to give a little direction, when to make a game of it, when to change direction completely and when to leave a good moment alone.

You don’t need to know how to pose either. I’ll give you enough direction that you never have to wonder what to do, without turning your family into something stiff or staged.

You bring your people. I’ll take care of the rest.


“Brittany made us feel comfortable the second we stepped into the studio.
The photoshoot was fun and really easy.

My partner who hates photos even enjoyed himself!”

THIS IS MORE THAN JUST A
PHOTO SESSION.

The photos are the reason you’re here.

But you shouldn’t have to figure out all the other stuff on your own.

01

YOU ALWAYS KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.

Once you’re booked, I don’t expect you to spend the next few weeks researching what to wear, where to go, what time will work best and what you actually need to bring. There are still choices to make. You’re just never starting from a blank page.

You’ll get detailed guides and step-by-step information at the right time, access to my studio wardrobe with more than 100 pieces for the family, session location suggestions I already know photograph beautifully, and clear guidance before, during and after your session so you’re never left trying to work it all out yourself.


02

YOU GET TO SEE YOUR PHOTOS PROPERLY.

A few days after your session, you’ll come back to the studio and see your photographs for the first time on the big screen.

We’ll go through them together, and I’ll help you narrow down the ones you genuinely love.

No deciding on packages or how many photographs you want before you’ve even seen them. No trying to compare 100 tiny thumbnails on your phone.

Your final collection is shaped by the photographs you love and what you want to spend.


03

THEN WE MAKE SOMETHING OF THEM.

Once you’ve chosen your favourites, I’ll help you work out what you’d love to take home and how you’d like to enjoy them,

That might mean a collection of digital photographs, something beautiful for your walls, an album to pull from the shelf again and again, or a combination of all three.

Because I firmly believe your memories deserve better than disappearing into another folder on your phone.


The one-on-one care from the initial photoshoot through to viewing the gallery was seamless and so accommodating.

She really ensured we received quality photos over quantity.”

Hi, I’m Britt

Photographer, professional snack-holder, baby cuddler and expert at getting dads who hate photos to relax.

For more than 15 years, I’ve photographed Melbourne families through pregnancies, newborn days and growing childhoods.

I want the experience to feel just as genuine as the photographs do, which probably explains why so many of my families come back again and again as their kids grow.

Image collections start at $800, with most families investing around $2,000.

You won’t choose your image collection until after you’ve seen your photographs, so you can decide based on what you genuinely love and what suits your budget.

Outdoor Family Photography Across Melbourne’s West

For families who love something a little more relaxed and natural, outdoor sessions are held across carefully chosen locations in Melbourne’s west. These sessions are light, playful, and focused on connection rather than perfect posing.

I’ve spent years testing locations across Melbourne’s west and know exactly where to find beautiful light, open space for little ones to explore, and spots that are easy to access with young children in tow.

Whether it’s Werribee, Williamstown, Altona, or surrounding suburbs, I’ll guide you through locations that suit your family and the feel you’re after, so the experience feels easy from start to finish.

My Sessions Are For Families Who…

– Want beautiful photographs without everything feeling overly posed.

– Have been meaning to organise family photos for far too long.

– Are usually the one behind the camera.

– Want their kids’ actual personalities captured, not just their best behaviour.

– Want photographs that feel like their family.

IF THATS YOU…. YOUR’E IN THE RIGHT PLACE

My sessions have plenty of room for movement, cuddles, snack breaks, shy kids, wild kids and plans that change halfway through. I’ll guide you when you need it and step back when something better is happening naturally.

“We love how relaxed Britt’s shoots are and how comfortable she makes us feel.

They don’t feel posed and unnatural, and the beautiful pictures we got are a testament to that.”

Family and Newborn Photographer Based in Melbourne’s West, easily accessible from across MelbournE.

I’m based in Altona Meadows, just 17km from Melbourne’s CBD and close to major freeway access, making the studio easy to reach from across Melbourne.

I regularly photograph families from Melbourne’s western suburbs including Werribee, Point Cook, Williamstown, Newport and Yarraville, as well as families travelling from all across Melbourne who are looking for a relaxed, guided photography experience.

Whether you’re local or travelling in, sessions are designed to feel calm, unhurried and completely worth the time away from everyday life.

If you’ve been meaning to do this for years, YOU DON’T NEED A BIGGER REASON.


Especially if you’re usually the one behind the camera.

You don’t need a milestone or perfect timing.

Wanting to remember your family exactly as they are right now is reason enough.

CHECK AVAILABILITY →

Sessions typically book 6–8 weeks ahead.
Expecting? Newborn sessions are best reserved during your 2nd trimester of pregnancy.

A quick note about availability


Sessions are booked around 6 – 8 weeks in advance, as I intentionally photograph a limited number of families each month so every gallery receives the time, care and attention it deserves.

Newborn sessions are often booked months before baby arrives.

If you’re expecting, I recommend getting in touch during your second trimester to reserve space around your due date. Don’t worry if baby arrives early or late – I’ll adjust your session date accordingly.
