Haylee has photographed myself and my family for the last several years and I can not recommend her enough! She has the ability to make you feel comfortable and confident while maintaining her professionalism, she is incredible at what she does and her work is outstanding. Wouldn’t trust anyone else with capturing our precious memories! - Brooke Dobson
As a mum to AuDHD kids myself, I bring patience, understanding, and a neurodivergent-friendly approach to every session. Your child is welcome exactly as they are – no pressure, no expectations, just space to be themselves while we create some magic together.
I run my sessions in a prompted - not posed style. This helps to create the most natural imagery (and this style of photography is great for those who really are not fans of saying ‘cheese’ in front of a camera lens!
You will be blown away by the intimate and beautiful moments that I capture without you even realising. The way your partner looks at you with love, hands holding, cheeky smiles, forehead kisses, tiny fingers and tiny toes!
For once, get everyone in the photograph. Including you.
The way your child climbs into your lap. They're missing front teeth. The ridiculous thing that makes everyone laugh. You see these things every day, but having photographs of them means you get to come back to them.
My family sessions make room for your family as you are. There’s time for movement, play, cuddles and a lots of laughs. I’ll guide you throughout, so you won’t be left wondering where to stand or what to do.
Your children can take time to warm up, need a break or want to stay close to you. They don’t need to perform, and you don’t need to spend the session asking them to behave. I work in a prompted, natural style rather than a posed “look at the camera” style.

Because you belong in your family’s photographs too.
You probably have thousands of photographs of your children on your phone. But how many show you holding them, laughing with them or being the person they run to?
Especially for mums, it’s easy to become the person documenting everything while barely appearing in the photographs yourself. And when someone does point a camera your way, it can be tempting to say, “Not today.”
You deserve to have memories of being there, too. You don’t need a different body, perfectly coordinated outfits or a quieter season of life to be photographed with the people who love you.
The way they fit in your arms will change. Let’s remember how it feels today.
Book your family session.
We had the most gorgeous family photo shoot with Haylee. This beautiful woman is absolutely incredible behind the lens and a truly gorgeous soul. Absolutely adore our photos! - Stephanie Maree
Your family session will be curated to your vision. Once you’re booked you will receive a questionnaire for me to get to know you and your family better.
After booking I will get in touch with you to plan your location, discuss outfit ideas, and how best to support you and your family during the session - if you’d like the kids favourite songs played in the background, their favourite special treats, their favourite Bluey characters - if you need the session fast paced for busy bees, or slow and calm for more sensory sensitive kiddos.
This investment you’re making into capturing your family as they are now is not lost on me. I’m a mumma - I get it. And you deserve to feel honoured and a part of this process to make sure I’m meeting your vision.
