Gallery two
MOTHERHOOD & FAMILY
From growing bellies to newborn days and everything that follows, these sessions are about capturing connection in its most natural form. Soft, unhurried, and guided just enough to feel relaxed, each gallery reflects the beauty of real life as it unfolds.
Photographed in gentle light and familiar spaces, these images are designed to become part of your family’s story — timeless, honest, and filled with quiet, meaningful moments.
Honouring the season you’re in.
Newborn sessions are usually photographed within the first two weeks after birth, when babies are still very sleepy and love being curled up.
Lifestyle newborn sessions can also be done a little later, once you’ve settled into life at home. These are relaxed, connection-focused sessions that capture your family just as you are.
The ideal time for a maternity session is around 34–36 weeks, when your bump is beautifully round but you’re still comfortable enough to move around easily.
If you’re expecting earlier or have any concerns, we can always adjust the timing to suit you.
Lifestyle sessions focus on real moments rather than stiff poses. It might be cuddles on the couch, kids running along the beach, or quiet moments in the nursery.
I’ll gently guide you the whole time so it still feels natural and relaxed, while creating beautiful, timeless images.
Most families choose a relaxed outdoor location such as the beach at Bribie Island or the forest settings around Beerburrum. These spots have beautiful light and give kids the space to run, explore, and just be themselves.
If you’d prefer something more personal, I also photograph lifestyle sessions in your home, capturing your family in a space that already means something to you.
For newborns and young families, sessions can also take place in my Burpengary East studio, which features soft, natural light and lifestyle-inspired spaces. It’s a calm, clean, and comfortable environment designed especially for newborns and growing families.

Choose outfits that feel like you, just a slightly more polished version. Soft, neutral tones and simple textures photograph beautifully and keep the focus on your connection.
Once you’re booked in, I’ll send through a styling guide to make the process easy and stress-free.
Most maternity and family sessions run for around 30–60 minutes, giving everyone time to relax and settle into the experience.
Newborn sessions are more gently paced, allowing extra time for feeding, cuddles, and changes so everything feels calm and unhurried. These can be anywhere from 1-4 hours

Frequently Asked Questions
Natalia + Eric
Kayla has done it again!
We did a Mothers Day Mini in 2023 (on the beach) and another one this year in 2025 ( in the studio). Kayla manages to get so many fantastic shots in only 15 mins and to be honest 15 mins is almost the entire attention span for young kids and photos. I love both the shoots we did for different reasons.
Might see Kayla again in another 2 years! This time maybe the forest :)
Her Mini's usually come with 5 included photos and you can upgrade to have more. Both times I have upgraded to 15 photos for my family of 4.
