family & newborn photographer
Geelong | Ocean Grove | Bellarine Peninsula
I’m Jo
hey there!
warm, inviting and easy-going
I am a lifestyle maternity, newborn, and family photographer serving The Bellarine, Surf Coast and Greater Geelong area. I’m also a magic maker, seriously… I can stop time and bottle up all your beautiful, messy memories exactly as you are now, for you to hold on to forever. I specialise in providing a relaxed, enjoyable experience so that I can capture genuine connection without stiff or awkward posing.
As a mum, I understand the challenges of taking family photos and will work together with you to minimise stress and make the experience enjoyable for everyone involved (even Dad!). At the end of your session, you’re not only going to be excited about the memories we’ve created, but you’ll have made a new friend too. I genuinely care about all my families and love getting to know you.

what you can expect
-
A phone call (or zoom is that’s your jam) is the fastest, easiest way to go over all the details and answer any questions you have about working with me. If it sounds like we’re a good fit, we can coordinate our calendars and get your session on the books. And then we start getting ready for some fun! To secure your date, you’ll sign some paperwork and pay a deposit of $200.
-
Once we’re booked, I’ll send you my detailed prep guide to help you get ready for your relaxed, zero-pressure session. I’m here to guide you through everything from choosing the best location suited to you, to helping put your outfits together. Rest assured that my priority is for this process to be memorable and fun for you and your family. Sessions usually take place in/around your home or at an outdoor location (like the beach), and last around 60-90 minutes.
-
About 2-3 weeks after your session, you’ll receive 80-ish fully edited images to swoon over and choose among. Your package includes a set amount of photos to download, but my ‘buy only what you want’ philosophy means if you LOVE what you’re seeing then you can upgrade your package to include more photos and print credit. There’s no obligation. You decide what suits your family and your budget best!
-
Families change and grow, and most of my clients want to document that process over time. If we’ve worked together a few times, you’ll be invited to join my Photo Club and take managing family photos off your to-do list forever. Members enjoy special benefits, discounted pricing, priority scheduling, online backup of all your photos (priceless!) and a monthly payment plan.
We could be a good fit if…
You prefer natural and easy.
You prioritise images that capture connection over posed everyone-smiling-at-the-camera photos.
You want beautiful images that showcase your connection authentically, chaos and all.
but don't just take my word for it
are we a good match?
I want all my clients to have the best experience possible, so it's important to me that we're the right fit. That’s why the first step in booking a session with me is a quick phone call that gives us both a chance to determine if we're a good fit!
Fill out my contact form and I'll get back to you to organise a time to chat about how it all works and answer everything you want to know.
I’m excited to hear from you!
