Family Photography in Melbourne and Victoria

Real, joyful and uncomplicated family photos. As you are.

If you love images with cheeky grins, the expressions you know, windblown hair, and the imperfect moments that make up your real life, then that’s what I photograph.

I am a family photographer in Melbourne who offers sessions that tell your unique family story. No need for anything overly fancy or complicated, just real-life goodness. Photos are a combination of candid documentary and relaxed natural poses (e.g. ‘let’s hop into this spot here and see what happens’). I’ll give enough guidance so you’re not left floundering, but enough space to be yourselves.

“Bec is delightful and genuine and those qualities get reflected back in the snapshots she will capture of your important moments. She is so warm and easy going, even the most uncomfortable subjects are at ease, which I think is why she is able to keep it all so real and alive.”

Feel free to explore this website! You can find more content on my blog. I love sharing recent sessions on Instagram. If you're into the idea of capturing natural family moments, my approach might be just what you're looking for. Take a look at the pricing for photo sessions. I've got a handy FAQ section all about family photography. Curious about the person behind the lens? Learn a bit about me and my background.

Excited to get started? Yay! To book a session, hop over to my booking form here. Share your location and your preferred timeframe. Don't worry if you're not in the immediate Melbourne area – feel free to ask about other locations too. Once I receive your info, I'll let you know available family photography sessions so we can sort a date and discuss the perfect location.

Make some memories

Book A Session

Once we lock in a date, I'll send you the final bits to complete your photography booking: a contract, invoice, and a quick questionnaire. This questionnaire is super helpful because it gives me insight into your family and lets you tell me what you're envisioning for the session. For instance, if your little one is dinosaur-obsessed, I definitely want to know – I might even do some dino research! And that's all there is to it! Looking forward to meeting you and capturing some wonderful moments of your family that you can enjoy forever.

“Bec was the BEST!!! She turned this Insta-stalking, camera-shy Mum and her equally shy family into a relaxed, happy crew and captured a whole reel of shots that were just undeniably 'us' in the quickest hour ever! Thank you so much, Bec - I’m so sorry I waited so long for “the perfect time” to book a shoot - because all we really needed was you and your camera magic!”
