Authentic Family Photography in Rockhampton
Creating Lasting Family Memories
At the heart of every family is a story—a journey filled with love, laughter, and the little moments that make life meaningful. My approach to family photography in Rockhampton is all about capturing those genuine, unscripted moments that reflect exactly who you are right now.
These sessions aren’t about perfection or posed smiles—they’re about documenting the beauty in your everyday. Whether it’s slow mornings at home, playful chaos in the backyard, or barefoot adventures on the beach, I focus on telling the real story of your family as it is today.
Candid Moments and Genuine Connections
Authenticity is everything. I’m here to preserve the small, tender moments: a shared laugh, a warm cuddle, a knowing glance between you and your child. These aren’t just photos—they’re memories you’ll hold close for years to come, and that your children and their children will treasure as part of their story.
Let’s create something that resonates deeply—images that celebrate your connection and become part of your family’s legacy. Whether we're capturing you in the comfort of your home or exploring the outdoors, I’ll be there to document your life with honesty, heart, and intention.
Session Details & What to Expect
To truly photograph your family, I need to know you. Not just how you look, but who you are together—your dynamic, your rhythms, the love and laughter that makes your story unique. A great photo isn’t just taken; it’s felt. That’s why I invest time in getting to know what makes your family special, so I can reflect that honestly and beautifully through my lens.
Pre-Session Connection
Once your session is booked and the date confirmed with a booking fee, we’ll connect—whether that’s via Zoom, over the phone, or at your favourite local café. This is where we start shaping a session that feels right for you. If you already have a vision, wonderful. If not, I’ll bring plenty of ideas to the table—we’ll build something meaningful together.
What we'll plan together
Location -
We’ll choose a setting that resonates with your family—somewhere with memories, comfort, or adventure. Whether it’s a golden field in Rockhampton, your backyard in Yeppoon, or a quiet beach in Central Queensland, the location should reflect your story.
Timing -
The right light makes all the difference. We’ll plan around:
-
Sunrise for that soft, buttery morning glow
-
Sunset for golden hour warmth and dreamy blue hour tones
-
Mid-morning or afternoon for calm, comfortable in-home sessions
Styling -
We’ll talk through wardrobe options, colours, and styling that feel like you. Whether it’s coordinated but relaxed or intentionally raw and real, I’ll guide you so everyone feels confident and comfortable.
Displaying Your Portraits -
How you choose to enjoy your images matters. I offer a curated selection of fine art prints and heirloom-quality products that are made to last—helping you preserve and proudly display these moments for years (and generations) to come.
Lasting Family Memories
After your session, you will receive your full online viewing gallery (of 50+ images) within 4 weeks of our session.
I will present your gallery in a beautiful slideshow which we view together. I love the moment when I see your face fall in love with your portraits, my favourite part.
From here you can let me know which package you would like to proceed with and we can discuss how to display your portraits in your home. I have a large selection of wall art and print products to help you and minimise that stress with what to do with your images

Client Testimonial
It was an absolute dream working with Sarah!
We weren't sure how our toddler would go having her photo taken for a few hours or being around someone she didn't know well. But, Sarah made us all feel extremely comfortable and was happy to just let us be us and capture natural moments of us as a family.
We loved watching our daughter explore the location and as result we got some beautiful photos of her that didn't feel staged or unnatural. Sarah had great knowledge of how the different light would look at different times of the shoot and lead us around the location to make sure we got the best pictures.
The gallery of photos are beautifully presented and we are blown away with the photos we received. We would absolutely recommend using Sarah and will definitely be working with her again in the future.
