My mini locations vary across the year -You can expect images full of joy and connection, combinations of individual parents and kids, and portraits of your kids.

Christmas Tree Farm – Nov 20-22nd 2026

Christmas Mini-Sessions

Welcome to 2026 Christmas Mini Sessions. This year I am delighted to offer photos among the Christmas trees at the beautiful Wandin Valley Christmas Tree Farm just outside of Melbourne. This is a peaceful, tucked-away Christmas tree farm surrounded by Australian bushland. (Their trees are also LOVELY!)

Mini sessions offer short, relaxed and affordable photo sessions, perfect for families who want beautiful, natural images without a big time commitment. I have both morning and evening sessions available.

My mini sessions are not based around a ‘set’ with weird props – just nice and natural. Feel free to come as Christmassy or not Christmassy as you like. Just 15 minutes of easygoing, real connection, ideal for families who want photos that feel like you and to celebrate the year that has been.

Weather Policy
If conditions are deemed unsuitable
, an alternate date or refund will be provided.

Who are these mini sessions for?

  • Immediate families only (up to 6 people max)
  • Dogs are welcome, but must remain on a lead at all times
  • If you would like to involve grandparents or cousins (etc) you will need to book multiple back-to-back sessions to allow for extra time. If you have a question about this, please reach out.

From the brand:

This shoot is for an new Australian babywear brand for little beginnings made from 100% cotton. We’re keeping our limited collection under wraps for now, but the shoot will have a very natural, warm, and elevated family feel, focusing on genuine moments and connection rather than anything too posed. Think of a get together to celebrate the mum & baby surrounded by parents aunts grandma and little cousins.

As I took my “fun” camera (which is also new to me) … and I am definitely not all over the low light capabilities or limitations rather of the Fuji x100vi just yet but am very pleased with the promist 1/4 filter on the evening light. Also I anyone knows the setting for being able to see through the Fuji when in very low light with a flash attached please enlighten me - I basically had to guess and shoot any of the dinner images blind 🤪 using a little godox it32 flash.

Opshop red dress and shoes 
Giant cards also from opshop $1 👌🏻- stapled to ribbon which we then safety pinned to the bottom of the dress. Also stapled to elastic for crown.

Throw blanket that I found on bargain table at Spotlight (just with a safety pin) for the cloak.

White tights. (Did have to buy these) 

Necklace that Céleste made from some card charms she happened to have.

Gem staff thing that my dad made Céleste a few years back. 

And then blue eyeshadow, hearts drawn on with eyeliner and red lipstick in a heart shape.

I did get very lucky with the opshop dress find (it was also quite cheap) but really this is quite a simple costume. (Not as easy as Maggie’s which was just overalls and jumper 😅)

Babies being babies! Unsettled babies during new Babies being babies! 

Unsettled babies during newborn sessions do not phase me. We are there to document life as it is and sometimes the reality of newborn photos isn’t sleepy perfection. I have many tricks and ways of photographing babies - being held, being fed, being settled. Eyes open, eyes shut. The calm and snuggly, the peaceful and the not so much. Your photos will still be beautiful.
