Day in Our Life
For the deeply sentimental folk, those who want to remember the real rhythm and heart of now.
For the families who are ready to be vulnerable and seen fully.
More time, more depth: These sessions aren’t rushed—they’re immersive.
A Day in Our Life session goes beyond what a 1.5-hour family shoot can offer. It’s not about a handful of curated images; it’s about documenting the messy, mundane, and magical rhythms of your life right now. It’s the deepest level of vulnerability and connection—capturing not just how your family looks but who you are.
The magic of your everyday, with all your favourite humans.
These sessions give us the time to immerse fully into your world. Whether it’s breakfast with bed hair, visiting the grandparents, or an afternoon walk to your favourite spot, the day unfolds naturally, and every moment becomes part of your story.
Multiple locations, family members, and even close friends—your village—can all be part of this documentation, creating a layered and rich narrative of your life.
There are so many reasons to love A Day in Our Life session.
This is not a photoshoot where you "behave for the camera."
The meltdowns, the laughter, the sibling rivalries, and the love—they’re all part of the story. These sessions give everyone the time to relax, forget the camera is even there, and just be themselves.
With the option to include multiple locations and family members, the day becomes a rich tapestry of memories—your home, a favourite park, a visit to grandparents, or a cozy dinner with loved ones.

Day in Our Life FAQ’s
-
A Day in the Life session is immersive, allowing us to document the full rhythm of your family without rushing. Unlike shorter sessions, it captures everything—the chaos, the calm, and the beautiful in-between moments that often go unnoticed. This is for families who want to be truly seen and want a time capsule of their life as it is now and are not looking for perfection.
-
Anything and everything! From making breakfast to a walk in the park, visiting grandparents, or bedtime stories, it’s about capturing your family’s real rhythm. There’s no need to “behave for the camera” because the magic is in the authenticity.
-
Shorter sessions are wonderful for milestone moments, but a Day in the Life session tells the whole story. It’s about capturing the love in the everyday—the sibling arguments, the pancake breakfasts, the hugs, and the meltdowns. These aren’t just photos; they’re a visual diary of the life you’re building together.
-
Your home doesn’t need to be magazine-ready. It’s all about capturing your family as you are—mid-reno, toys scattered, or embracing cozy chaos. The focus is on your connection, not your surroundings.
-
You don’t need to do anything special—just live your day as you usually would. I’ll provide some guidance beforehand, but the goal is for everyone to feel relaxed and natural. We can have a light plan for how the day will unfold depending on what your desires are.
-
Absolutely! I love exploring new places and would be delighted to come to your home. Travel within the Northern Beaches and North Shore is included in my base packages, with a small additional fee for homes outside these areas.
-
Yes! A Day in the Life session can include grandparents, close friends, or anyone who plays a meaningful role in your family’s story. This is your village, and they’re part of what makes your life unique.
Please note that this differs from an “Extended Family” style session.
-
Be comfortable and true to yourself. I don’t follow a specific aesthetic, and you don’t need to wear soft neutrals (though they’re lovely and totally okay too!). Play with complementary colors and textures—whatever reflects your personality. I’ll send a detailed guide with tips for coordinating outfits without looking overly "matchy."
-
Absolutely! Pets are family too, and they bring so much personality to your photos. Whether they’re full of energy or just want to lounge around, they’ll be part of your story.
-
I lightly edit to enhance natural light and color, but I don’t do heavy retouching. I believe in keeping your images true to life while showcasing your family’s authenticity.
-
Not exactly—it’s a relaxed approach where I document your day as it naturally unfolds. While I’m always observing and ready with my camera, it’s not constant clicking. It’s about capturing the right moments at the right time to truly tell your story.
