Family, maternity & newborn Photography in Rockhampton & Yeppoon

for People Who Want More Than a Nice Photo

You already know you don’t want stiff photos where everyone stands still and smiles at the camera.

​

You want photos that actually mean something.


Photos that feel like your life.


Photos you’ll still care about years from now.

​

That’s what I make.

Hi, I'm Sarah! 

I’m a family photographer based between Rockhampton and Yeppoon. As a mum of two I know how quickly time can go and how much you miss it when it does. That's why I do this.

I work with families who care about meaning. People who know they don’t just want nice photos, they want something that actually holds memory.

I keep sessions relaxed and human, no pressure, no performance. I’ll guide you, read the room, and make sure everyone feels comfortable. 

​

If you want photos that feel honest now and still matter years from now, I’m probably the right photographer for you.

Sarah!!! We're both beyond happy with how the photos turned out. They are so special - I've been in tears looking at them. Thank you so much for capturing these beautiful memories. You're amazing!!!!

It was such a fun experience too. Usually I hate taking photos and looking at photos of myself, but I just love them so much. Thanks for making me feel so good.

This is about the experience, not just the images

I don’t show up with a plan and force your family into it.
I listen first.

What are you trying to remember right now?
How small they are?
How wild this season feels?
How it feels to be together?

​

From there, we build something that actually fits your life. Sometimes that’s a quiet moment. Sometimes it’s an adventure. Sometimes it’s chaos. All of it matters.

I'm not here to pose you
 

You don’t need to perform or know what to do.
You don’t need perfect kids or a perfect house.

Most families tell me afterward that it felt easier than they expected.
That they felt comfortable.
That it didn’t feel awkward at all.

That’s the point.

Based in Rockhampton and Yeppoon

We can photograph your family at home, outdoors, or somewhere that already matters to you.

A beach you always go to in Yeppoon.
A field you love.
A place your kids will recognise when they’re older.

The location isn’t about being impressive.
It’s about being meaningful.

This is probably a good fit if...

You care about memory and meaning.
You want photos that feel honest.
You’re happy to invest in an experience, not just a file delivery.

If you’re looking for something quick, posed, or purely aesthetic, I might not be the right photographer for you.

And that’s okay.

Every family session has its own heartbeat, a rhythm made of laughter, quiet moments, and the love that ties you together. In my Featured Galleries you’ll see real Rockhampton and Yeppoon families, just like yours, captured in all their natural beauty.

Whether it’s an in-home cuddle, a golden sunset in the fields, or a little everyday ritual that means the world to you, these galleries show what’s possible when you pause, connect, and let me tell your story.
