Hey there!

I'm Vanessa

I'm a Merimbula based, emotive motherhood, maternity and family photographer.

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. The beauty of the day to day moments, that might otherwise go unseen. Forgotten in the haze that is motherhood. My "why" is simple. Your story is important. Your family is important. You are important. You deserve to be seen, and your life deserves to be documented. Just as it is, in all its glorious, imperfectly, perfect moments. 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.. breathe it in, slow it down and let me take notice. I see you.

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. Let me guide you gently, and let the magic of your authentic love stories unfold in front of the lens.
