FAMILY Photography

All these sessions are unique yet they have one thing in common – family. In the comfort of your home or outdoors, my style is fun and relaxed. No dress ups, no matchy-matchy outfits. I have few tricks up my sleeve for your children (and dads!) to feel relaxed. I’ll have prompts here and there for the “must have” group shots but my aim is to capture the magic that happens in between…

EXTENDED FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY

Documenting “together” as the family grows…Hand on heart one of my favourite sessions. Let’s capture precious memories that define your family - your parents anniversary, sibling arriving from overseas or just a Sunday morning stroll on the beach. It is a legacy of love and connection that will be treasured for years to come. And dont worry, I’ll be sure to snap many “in between shots” alongside the group photos.

    FROM BUMP TO BABY

    Maternity sessions hold a special place in my heart. There’s something truly magical about capturing the final weeks before a new life arrives—when everything is filled with anticipation, excitement, and that soft glow of new beginnings.

    MOMENTS FULL OF LOVE & WARMTH

    There’s something sacred about the stillness that comes with new life — a kind of hush that settles in, even when the world outside is still spinning. That’s exactly what I felt when I stepped into Laura’s home.

    Nicole

    If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s that every family has its own rhythm. And Nicole’s family? Well, they’re an absolute whirlwind of joy, noise, and love. We’ve done a few sessions together now, but this one? This one was something special.

I heard many stories about giving birth being a blur, so I looked into Birth Photography to keep memory of such an important moment in our lives. So we sought the talent of Veronika - and wow, we received more than just someone who was there to take photos! Her passion and dedication to the art of birth photography, as well as simply the awe she has for the miracle of birth, made our experience with her so worthwhile. It was our first child, so I was naturally nervous. And although it was such an intimate moment reserved for those dearest, her constant encouragement and praise supported me so much through my labour, that I could not have imagined it without her. We now have amazing memories thanks to Veronika. Thank you so much!
