Get To Know Your Photographer

MORE THAN A PHOTOGRAPHER

A Storyteller Who Captures What Matters Most.

So often, as parents, we’re told how quickly time passes.. It’s such a beautiful blur of love, growth and discovery.

From the very first moment you lay eyes on your sweet newborn, memorising every little detail of their perfect doll-like features and newborn scrunch, to the first big milestone moments like seeing your little one sit on their own, or take those first wobbly steps, each age and stage brings with it a new kind of magic worthy of being captured. 

And then you might welcome another little cherub into the world, and just like that, a whole new magical chapter begins. From those first tender moments of affection between siblings, or the way they instinctively reach for one another in times of need, to the endless games, cuddles and ever-flourishing connection and adoration between your babies. It’s a love like no other, and the kind of memories that you want to keep forever.

Family time isn’t always picture-perfect, but to me, it’s the candid moments of beautiful chaos and fun that are the moments truly worth capturing. Like the sparkle of mischief in your  little ones eyes when you play together, or the beyond-gorgeous squishiness of your sweet toddler, or the way your now big-kid still runs to you for cuddles. It’s these little moments that tell the story of your family, and I’d love to help you tell yours.

In the chaos of life, the beauty of being able to revisit some of your favourite moments, is an invaluable gift.

Whether you’re excitedly awaiting your first born to arrive earthside, deep in the thick of those exhaustingly beautiful early years, or closing out your baby chapter and embracing your new season of life with big kids, I see you, I am you, and I’d absolutely love to connect and help you savor these sweet moments with your loved ones before they pass you by.

I BELIEVE IN

Holding on tight

Hey, I’m Polly! A mother and passionate lifestyle photographer based in Sydney. Of all the many things I am (wife, food lover, ocean dweller, and daydreamer to name a few), first and foremost I’m a mama to two gorgeous (teen) boys, who will always be my babies. They are the reason I turned my passion for photography into a career 11 years ago, and continue to be my daily reminder of why it is so important to capture every moment. As someone who is on the cusp of a new seasoning of parenting, I know how long the days with little humans can feel, but also how quickly those years pass by. One of the things I love most about photography is the ability to freeze precious details and tender moments in time, and allow you to hold on to them forever. 

If you would do absolutely anything in your power to freeze time… I see you!

If the idea of your little ones growing up is something you simply can’t comprehend… I feel you!

Let’s capture these moments forever…

MY WHY

My Philosophy

To capture the real family moments. The real smiles, the honest moments, the true connections.

These moments are too precious, this time passes by too fast, you will never regret the photos you took, but you will regret the ones that were never taken.

The way you play

The way you connect

The way they love

The way they smile

I want to capture YOU.

MY PORTFOLIO

My style is natural, candid, honest and artistic. I love warm tones, moody light and a vintage vibe…

Frequently Asked Questions

Booking a session with me is easy! Simply head to my Contact page, fill out the form, or send me an email. Once I receive your inquiry, I’ll get in touch with you to discuss your vision, answer any questions, and confirm the details. From there, we can schedule a date that works for you.

Maternity and Family Sessions go for around 1.5 hours, and it doesn’t change according to location or the number of people. A newborn session usually goes for 1.5-2 hours.

After your session, you can expect to receive your edited images within 3-4 weeks. I take great care in editing your photos to make sure they’re perfect, and I’ll notify you as soon as your online gallery is ready for you to view and download.

We simply reschedule! We can’t control illness or the weather (unfortunately) but I factor contingency days into my calendar to allow for rescheduling. In the event of wet weather, I’ll wait until the day of your session to make the call to reschedule – the weather often pulls through. If you become unwell, I just ask that you contact me as soon as you can, and we’ll find an alternative date!

I like to keep things really casual and intimate by offering these sessions in-home! This takes the pressure off having to venture out (unless you’d like to), and allows you to simply relax and love on your gorgeous new arrival in a space that you’re comfortable in. The 2-hour session allows for some awake and sleep time, as well as time to capture the rest of the family too (including fur babies!) and means that we can go with the flow – there’s no rush! Relax and let your baby lead the session, what ever your baby needs, we will adapt to bubs needs.

Yes! I’m available for South Coast, Wollongong, Southern Highlands, Sutherland Shire and other surrounding areas. Outside of these areas, Travel fees may apply depending on the distance from Sydney, but I’m happy to discuss the details and work something out that suits you.
