FORGET THE PERFECT POSE—let’s catch your family in the wild, sun-drenched moments that truly capture what it means to live and love on the coast.

REAL MOMENTS, CAPTURED ON THE SURF COAST

FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY IN TORQUAY AND GEELONG

LOOKING FOR PHOTOS THAT FEEL MORE LIKE YOUR FAMILY AND LESS LIKE A PHOTOSHOOT?

DO YOU WANT YOUR FAMILY PHOTOS TO REFLECT THE LAID-BACK, COASTAL LIFE YOU LOVE?

Imagine you’re on the beach, the kids running wild, the waves crashing at your feet, and the sun dipping low, casting that perfect golden light. Or maybe you’re at home, where the chaos turns into laughter, and the little moments happen without you even noticing.

I’ll be right there with you, capturing the energy, the love, and the real, unposed moments that make your family’s story one-of-a-kind. Whether it’s the way your kids chase the tide or the way you all pile onto the couch, these are the memories that capture the true spirit of your family, and I’m here to make sure they last forever.

LET'S HAVE FUN!

MEET YOUR TORQUAY & GEELONG FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

Hey,  I'm Linda,

I’m all about capturing the real, unfiltered moments that make family life so special. From the wild, sandy beach days to the cozy, chaotic moments at home—I’m here to turn those into memories you’ll hold onto forever.

 

I’ll be your biggest cheerleader from the moment you reach out, making sure everyone feels comfortable and, most importantly, has fun. You’ll be amazed at how those everyday moments can look so epic when they’re captured right!

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m chasing after my own little one, soaking up the coastal life in Torquay. If you see a mum with a camera and a little whirlwind in a yellow hat running by the beach, that’s us! Don’t be a stranger—come say hi; we love making new friends!

SNEAK PEAK TO FAMILY GALLERIES

READY FOR IMAGES THAT TELL YOUR STORY AND STAD OUT WITH EVERY DETAIL PERFECTED?

A collection of images that are thoughtfully CRAFTED, RETOUCHED, and PERFECTED.

CURIOUS WHY I BELIEVE LESS IS MORE WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR MEMORIES? Where less is more - I bring my life approach to your session.  ​ You'll receive 15-50 unique images from each session. Why this number? We all have thousands of photos of our kids on our phones, but a professional session should give you something more. Every photo is meant to be print-worthy, capturing real moments while making sure it looks stunning at any size. You deserve each photo to be a standout, a true highlight that you’ll love.

WANT TO KNOW WHY 15-50 PHOTOS ARE THE SWEET SPOT FOR YOUR MEMORIES? When you look back at these images, you’ll see the beauty of this stage in your life, just as it is, but elevated into something timeless and unforgettable. In my experience, 15 photos are just right for updating your family album, while 50 is the sweet spot where we can capture a variety of beautiful, unique moments without repeating similar shots. This range lets us create a collection that feels complete and authentic, all while your little ones are still happy and engaged in front of the camera.

SAY HELLO

Shoot me an enquiry, and you'll get an email with available dates around your preferred time. Let’s get this party started. Inquire here.

02

LOCK IT IN!

Once you've chosen a date, I'll send over a contract and an invoice for a $200 deposit to secure your spot. Say yes, and we're officially on!

03

GET READY

As the big day approaches, you'll get a fun questionnaire about a month before our session to help me understand your vision. A couple of weeks before the shoot, I'll send a styling guide so you have plenty of time to plan your fabulous outfits.

FAQs

Do I have to decide on a package now, or can I choose later? You don’t have to choose a package right away. At the time of booking, you only need to pay a deposit of $200. Then, one week before your photoshoot, you can decide on the package that suits you best—you’ll need to pick at least the smallest package. However, after the photoshoot, once you’ve seen the preview images, you’re welcome to upgrade if you’d like more images. I want you to have the flexibility to make the best choice for your family!

What happens if the weather is bad on the day of our photoshoot? Can we reschedule? I’m always keeping a close eye on the forecast about a week before your session. If it looks like the weather won’t cooperate on our original date, I’ll do my best to move your session to another day that week. If the weather turns unexpectedly bad on the day of, don’t worry—we can absolutely reschedule at no extra cost. It’s all part of the outdoor photography experience. I only schedule two outdoor shoots a week, so if there’s a stunning weather day forecasted, I’ll reach out to see if you’re happy to switch. My goal is to capture your family in the best light possible!

Can you help us with styling for our family photoshoot? Absolutely! Once your session is booked, I’ll send you a few emails, including a detailed styling guide. This guide is designed to help you mix and match outfits effortlessly, ensuring everyone looks and feels amazing on the day.

How many images will we receive, and can we purchase additional images? You don’t have to choose a package right away. At the time of booking, you only need to pay a deposit of $200. Then, one week before your photoshoot, you can decide on the package that suits you best—you’ll need to pick at least the smallest package. However, after the photoshoot, once you’ve seen the preview images, you’re welcome to upgrade if you’d like more images. I want you to have the flexibility to make the best choice for your family!

Where do the family sessions typically take place? Do you have location suggestions? Yes, I’m very familiar with the beautiful outdoor settings the Surf Coast offers. I’ve curated a list of my favorite locations that provide breathtaking backdrops, and I’m well-versed in how the light works in these spots throughout the day. You’ll receive a location guide in your email with all my top picks!

How long does a family session usually last? Family sessions typically last about an hour to an hour and a half. This includes a little break for the kids to keep them happy and engaged, so we can capture as many beautiful moments as possible. The sessions are very relaxed—there’s no rushing, and I highly encourage you to bring along some snacks for the kids in case they need a quick refuel.

What’s included in the family photography package? Are digital files and prints available? Yes, you’ll receive all your images digitally in a beautifully presented gallery, complete with both colour and black-and-white edits. Additionally, you’ll get a slideshow of your images set to music. All images are fully retouched to perfection—say goodbye to distractions like seaweed on the beach! You can order prints directly from your gallery, including framed prints delivered to your home. If you’re looking for larger-scale prints, I work with a trusted printer and framer in Geelong who can deliver them right to your door.

How long will it take to receive my images? After our photo shoot, I’ll send you a preview of your images within a week—this is the longest it will take, and I always aim to get them to you as quickly as possible. Once you’ve selected the images you’d like me to edit, your final gallery will be delivered within two weeks. Again, this is the maximum time frame, but I always strive to get your photos to you sooner.
