Every woman deserves to be celebrated - and photographed as she truly is.

 

Whether you’re expecting your first child, entering a new chapter of life, or simply craving

a day that’s all about you, I create portraits that honor your strength, beauty, and story.

Your session isn’t just about photographs - it’s an experience designed to leave you feeling radiant, confident, and deeply seen.

 

With 13 years as a portrait photographer - and 18 years as a graphic designer - I bring both artistry and precision to every image. My great-great-great-uncle Fred Murray opened his own portrait studio in Gympie in 1908, so you could say photography is in my blood, but it’s also my craft. I’ve spent years refining not just how I capture women, but how I carefully edit and retouch every detail so you look like the very best version of yourself - polished yet natural, elegant yet real.

 

My design background also led me to fall in love with photo restoration - breathing new life into treasured images and preserving moments that might otherwise have been

lost forever. Whether I’m reviving an heirloom photograph or creating new portraits you’ll one day pass down, my goal is always the same: to give you images that hold meaning for generations.

 

From wardrobe planning to gentle guidance in front of the camera, I make the process effortless and enjoyable. Whether you’re drawn to the classic elegance of studio lighting or the romance of an outdoor setting, your portraits will reflect who you are in this season of life - beautiful, powerful, and uniquely you.

 

As a mother myself, I know how quickly these moments pass. That’s why I specialise in portraits that celebrate womanhood in all its forms - maternity, milestones, and everyday elegance. My hope is that you’ll not only love your photographs but leave your session feeling proud, empowered, and celebrated.

 

Let’s create something unforgettable together.
