FLOW STATE PHOTOGRAPHY

Creating nostalgic moments in the everyday..

Bega Valley based emotive family and elopement photographer

Hi, I'm Vanessa

Motherhood, family and elopement photographer based on the Sapphire Coast, NSW.



Wherever you are in your journey, and whatever that may be, your story deserves to be told, authentically and honestly.  I will document your "now" and turn them into memories for your future self.


My love of photography was born out of my love for my own children, and my desire to document them, just as I see them. Perfectly imperfect, day to day moments, that might otherwise go unseen. Forgotten in the haze that is motherhood. To me, the little moments matter the most. The silly face they pull today, might change tomorrow. Each clumsy run toward you and every mispronounced word, a gentle reminder that they are learning and growing, changing before our eyes. Time is fleeting, and photography has enabled me to slow down, breathe it in, and take notice.


I take the same approach with every family I am blessed to photograph. Your trust in me is valued, and I look forward to telling your story. Come as you are, come with your stories, let's get to know each other. Lets laugh, and swap stories. Lets pause if needed. I'm not here to rush you, or tell you how to look. I'm here to guide you gently and let the magic of your true selves unfold in front of the lens.


I can't wait to tell your story, but first, let me introduce myself...

honest - intimate - poetic

Making art out of your memories..

LET ME TELL YOUR STORY


Those tiny moments that turn out to be the big ones. The unremarkable, mundane days. The dancing in the loungeroom, messy breakfasts, bear hunts, and bushwalks. Endless collections of shells and rocks. Kisses on the forehead, tight hugs, and hours spent feeding and rocking. The quiet moments, the chaos, and all the in between moments. The way their little hand still fits in yours, and how the top of their head smells so familiar. These are the moments you want to freeze in time...


FOR THE MOTHERS AND THE LOVERS

"Promise to stay wild with me. We'll seek and return and stay to find beauty and the extraordinary in all the spaces we claim. We'll know how to live. How to breathe magic into the mundane."
