Hi, I'm Joanna

I’m a friendly Scottish lass with a camera in hand and a big love for capturing life’s magic. Whether it’s a baby grinning up at their mum, your cat giving you those classic “feed me immediately” eyes, or a dad completely smitten with his brand‑new bub — those are the moments that make my heart sing.

I originally studied Television Production (with plenty of photography thrown in), then wandered through the worlds of TV and politics before finding my way back to my true happy place: behind the lens.

When I’m not snapping away, you’ll find me in Melbourne’s east with my partner and our beloved fur baby. I dabble in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (emphasis on dabble), and I’m on a never‑ending quest to try every great coffee spot this city has to offer.

If you’ve got a fun idea, a special moment to capture, or just want to create something beautiful together, reach out — I’m always up for a new adventure.

P.S. I hold a current Victorian Working with Children Check and I’m fully vaccinated, including whooping cough.

FAQs

What services do you offer?

I specialize in family and pet portraits BUT I am always down to try something new. If you like my work but have something different in mind, get in touch!

Do you come to us?

I do! I think photos are best in an environment you are familiar with. A travel charge may incur if you are outside Melbourne, but I will discuss that upfront.

Do you work with small businesses?

Yes, I offer photo shoots for small businesses. Photos can be tailored for social media or web content. I want to support local businesses to thrive. I am happy to work within a budget that suits the business.

How can I book a session?

Contact me via my website! Let's create something beautiful.

Do you do weddings?

I don't! It's not something I offer at the moment. Though if its mini shoot you are after I could be up for it.....get in touch!

What happens after the shoot?

Your photos will be delivered to you within 7 days digitally. Perfect format for printing or using online.

Generally 6-14 days old for a newborn due to being a snuggle bug. After that I'd recommend between 6-10 months old.

What's the best age for baby shoots?
Do you do prints?

All your digital files are high quality and print ready. While I don't do printing I can offer advice on great printing labs!

What if my kids won’t cooperate?

That’s completely okay. I expect it — and work around it. Some of the best images come from movement and play.

Can by dog be kept on it's leash?

Yes! I can edit them out.

My dog is reactive, can we still do photos?

Yes! I will work with you to keep your dog and others safe. I do not need to touch the dog and I can be spaced further back to give it space.
