Maternity, Couples, & Family Photographer
lake macquarie & Central COAST, NSW
I’m a maternity, couples, and family photographer based in Lake Macquarie and Central Coast NSW.
WHAT IT'S LIKE WORKING WITH ME
From the moment you reach out, my goal is to make this feel easy, relaxed, and genuinely enjoyable.
I know being in front of the camera can feel a little nerve-wracking and most people tell me they "have no idea what they're doing" - and that's completely okay. You don't need to come prepared with poses or a plan.
I'll guide you throughout the entire process, giving you direction when you need it, and stepping back when the natural moments begin to unfold. Some of the most meaningful images come from the in-between (the laughs, the quiet touches, the way you naturally connect with each other).
Whether we're wandering along the shoreline, chasing little ones, or simply slowing down together... I'm here to document it in a way that feels real, emotive, and true to you.
I'm Kirsten
As a young girl, I loved nothing more than flipping through my mum’s photo albums and pinning the pictures all over my bedroom walls. Those photos filled me with nostalgia and were little reminders of wonderful times spent with beautiful people, reminders of happiness and connection.
Family is everything to me. I’m a proud aunty to three gorgeous little humans, and creating memories with them (and capturing those moments) is one of my greatest joys.
That love for preserving memories is what inspired me to pick up a camera and help others document their own stories.

Your session
This is where you get to relax and just be. I'll guide you where needed, but mostly I'll be capturing the connection, movement, and little moments as they unfold.

"Kirsten went above and beyond to make everyone feel so welcome. She is relaxed and professional and all of the photos are fantastic. She has such a natural talent which is evident in her work. Kirsten has captured our family twice and both times she has been wonderful."

She has a great eye for angles and knows exactly how to make every shot look flawless. Kirsten is also excellent with communication and delivers the photos quickly, which is always a huge bonus.
