Your fun loving lifestyle photography experience

Capture the moments that you never want to forget with beautiful photographs that you can cherish forever

EACH AND EVERY FAMILY HAS A STORY

Together, let’s tell your family’s story...

and capture the essence of what makes you, you! 

With each day that passes your children grow a little bigger, learn a little more, and leave old habits and traits behind in exchange for new ones.

The magic moment that you might be holding out for, is this very moment in time.

I’m here to bring your vision to life, and capture you in a way that speaks to your family values, interests and vibe so that you leave your session with a collection of images that touch your soul.

To them you are perfect exactly as you are...

It’s time you saw it too.

It’s about capturing the overflowing love and joy between you and your darling little humans.

Don’t wait for the opportune moment, because while you wait you’re missing the beauty of now. What make your family uniquely you, and will be the memories that you carry with you forever.

It’s your time to be seen...

It’s time to get in front of the camera mama, because a family photo simply isn’t complete without YOU!

It will be magic.. However it unfolds!

Kids will be kids, and that’s exactly what we want. It’s all about letting each unique personality shine. That’s where the magic is hidden! 

You’ve never looked more beautiful than now...

They don’t see the rough night, or the mental exhaustion, they simply see safety, comfort and overwhelming love!

I know what it’s like to desperately wish you could freeze time forever ...

You can’t stop time from passing, but you can freeze little moments to cherish forever. 

From one mama to another, I know just how challenging some seasons of motherhood can feel. When you’re in it, days can feel like years, and then suddenly that season passes and you enter a new one. Before you know it, you’ve got teenagers, and the days of feeding, burping and rocking your sweet newborn feel like a distant memory. 

It might sound silly to some, but I could never picture myself with teenage boys, or maybe my heart just couldn’t bear the thought of it, because to me, they’ll always be my babies. 

With each passing year, I feel my heart simultaneously grow and break a little. The pride I feel when I look at the smart and kind young men they’ve become is overwhelming, but so too is the longing to go back in time and relive just one single day with my baby. 

I wish someone had told me back then to get in the photo, no matter how I looked or felt, because looking back now, I don’t have nearly enough photos of us all together in those early years. 

It’s part of the reason I love photographing families. You’ll never regret the photos you have, but one day, down the track, you may look back and wish you took more, and I’d love to help you do it.

KIND WORDS

“I balled my eyes out the whole way through the slideshow and the kids held my hands as I blubbered”

01.

It begins with your vision

AND what’s important to you

We’ll chat regularly in the lead up to your session so that I can get a feel for your vision and vibe, and to make sure you feel comfortable, calm and confident by the time it’s session day.

02.

Let the fun unfold

while I capture precious moments

It’s all about candid moments and natural smiles! I’ll jump in from time to time with a game or two, to encourage some fun and laughter but aside from that it’s all about keeping things relaxed and enjoyable.  

03.

Create everlasting keepsakes

to treasure for a lifetime and beyond

Walk away from the experience with a full heart, and a gallery of images that capture the essence of your family.

I was keen to get some shots to remember my bare bump but nervous about feeling exposed or that these photos might seem a bit indulgent. Hands down it was the best decision. I felt so safe, beautiful and empowered with Polly. And the photos are just stunning – I look like a goddess! 

Haylee

Oh my goodness!!! I sobbed the whole way through the slide show. You have truely worked your magic and these are photos we’ll treasure forever. SO precious! I know we’ll treasure them forever.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Polly is without a doubt a master of her craft. We count down the days to our shoots as not only are they so much family fun, but we know that these are precious memories that we will hold for our lifetime.

“The gallery blew us away. Every image was amazing. Perfection”

THE CREATIVE FEE

Think of the Creative Fee as an all-access pass to my knowledge, collection of favourite shoot locations, and more!

$250 (1-2 hours)

Your Creative Fee is a non-refundable amount that secures your booking, and covers the planning, travel and time dedicated to making your session and images truly unforgettable.

I’m constantly on the look out for new locations and dreamy backdrops. So, if you’ve spotted your dream location from one of my previous shoots – lets chat. I recommend in-home sessions for newborns and babies. There’s always an added sense of comfort, warmth and sentimental value.

Beyond the location, your Creative Fee also covers the creative process of editing and curating your gallery. This can take up to 3 – 4 weeks and involves intricate yet subtle edits that produce the most magical galleries. In addition, it also includes a complimentary 8×12″ print with any order. As soon as I receive your Creative Fee, your booking is officially locked in, and the fun begins.

Relax! This is not uncommon, but don’t worry. I’m yet to meet a kid that I couldn’t coax a smile from. With that said, it’s nice to have some contrast from smiles. The stern, thoughtful expressions are equally as cute. It’s not about forcing smiles, it’s about having fun. By the end of the session the smiles will happen, naturally.

Think of it as less about having your photo taken, and more about spending an hour or so of uninterrupted time playing and exploring with your family. I am continuously told by families that they’re surprised by how at ease they felt during their session, and that they barely even noticed the camera. There is no posing, or smiling for the camera during my sessions, which keeps things casual, relaxed and most of all FUN!

We’re all guilty of being a little harsh on ourselves from time to time, but I promise you, you’re never more beautiful than when you’re surrounded by your loved ones. This is what I capture. The overwhelming look of love, joy and adoration as you interact with your family. It’s my job to get the best angles, and lighting, and your job to focus on having an amazing time, and I assure you, the result will be stunning! 

Ultimately, it’s all about feeling confident and comfortable which means wearing something that feels like ‘you’. I share lots of outfit inspo in the lead up to your session, including a curated Pinterest board with colour palettes and textures that photograph beautifully. As a general rule, if in doubt, you can never go wrong with neutrals.

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!

The “Hold them tight” package includes the Creative Fee, so that means if you upgraded to the

15 digital collection (5 extra images), you’d just need to pay an additional $410,

or the All digital collection would be an additional $710.

(The digital collections dont include the Creative Fee).

If you wanted to upgrade to the

Magazine Package it would be an additional $1060,

or the Fine Art package would be an additional $4410.
