SUNSET CHASER

MAMA TO TWO

Because one day - these will be the good old days...

Since entering Motherhood myself, I have made it my mission to get other Mums in front of my lens so they have their motherhood captured and those moments now frozen forever to keep. We all know motherhood is a wild ride, a blur at times and I want you in the frame with your little humans so you can look back and remember every age. Those precious milestones we use to only wonder about.  Pregnancy, those first few weeks soaking in that newborn bubble, those 6 month milestones and every year after. Let’s create memories while you’re all under one roof.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Experience the most of our Story session together

0K6A9048.jpg

In home sessions designed to capture your family's story. Story sessions are activity based to ensure we capture those magic everday moments. Whether it's baking Mum's favourite banana pancake recipe, playing with the kids favourite box of hot wheels toys, jumping on the tramp or cooking up a storm in the outdoor play kitchen. It may be even just be those little fingerprints left on the windows that today you loathes but future you is going to miss. 

I work with you to design your dream story session.

Think 10 years from now, you're flicking through your photo box of loose prints. What do you want to remember about home life right now?​ That's what I want to capture for you!

You and your family are the magic! I just know how to capture it!

GOT QUESTIONS?

FAQ's

Q: What activities do you recommend capturing?

A: I want to capture what makes your family you! Think about the everyday mundane things that you know future you is going to miss.

Perhaps it's reading your childs favourite bed time story. Maybe you have a tradition of making pancakes every Sunday. Do the kids love making forts or jumping on the trampoline. Run through your day to day and pin point those things you know you'll be so glad we've captured. 

Q: I love this idea but my house isn't that aesthetic

A: Please know these sessions are for you and not for Instagram. Your home is simply the four walls that house all of these magic memories you've made with your family. It's not about fancy furniture or an all neutral Pinterest looking bedroom. I promise you, I don't care what your house looks like or if there's a pile of washing left on the chair. I just want to capture you and your favourite people in your space. Please do not let this put you off. My current home is far from my dream home but it's still so important to capture it!

Q: How long is a story session?

A: Story sessions take approx 1 hour, however I would allow 90 minutes to ensure we are not rushed.

Q: How do I book?

A: Click the book now button below to access my calandar and book directly. Please know that the 11am start time that is stated is super flexible and can be amended after booking. If you would like a date that is unavailable please be in touch via the enquire here button below and we can chat.
