you. me. us.

WHAT to EXPECT from the EXPERIENCE

So Let’s start at the end...

We live our lives in constant motion and often just surviving the day, that we sometimes forget to be a part of that moment and get into that picture. I want to capture the feeling of who you are to your babies, it is important for you and as a family's collective memory. So let's embrace these fleeting, sublime, whirlwind times in life!

You, with them

 Get to know my style

  • I focus on what I feel and observe in that moment. Capturing real time of you, your family and your surroundings. Raw. Nurturing. Belonging. With gentle and guided direction, I create a style of imagery that is authentic to your connection. So expect a lot of presence with little posing. Taking in the love. Feel.

  • Don't worry if your child (or partner) isn't acting the way you would have liked. Sometimes the harder we try, the more they retreat. Let's go with the flow; trust the process and let everything unfold, as it will. There is always time for an impromptu snack - to regain composure, or time to turn up the music and break out some moves, sometimes these are the best moments to capture too. I’ll encapsulate who you are as a family, at this point of time.

  • (&) Enjoy your adventure. Your session can look and feel like anything from watching the sun go down as the kids run across the beach, playing hide and seek around your home, or reading their favourite book, while your babes are snuggled up in your bed. In that photo, those smiles will be smiling at you for years to come! So let's have fun and embrace the reverence and let the magic unfold.

  • My intention is for you as a family to enjoy the creative process of the experience and the time you share with me.

    I'm here to guide you through the whole process with focus on what you want to obtain out of the session. Your input is significant before the shoot and a priority of the day. We can collaborate on your outfit choices (if desired) and the location that has meaning for you. Snap!

 

 ‘There’s a life in the future and it’s coming for us. So let’s get swept up in the beautiful chaos in front of us. Let’s make the future wait a little longer. Because I love this life with you so much, this one right now.’

tHANKS FOR the LOVE

  • "The most wonderful experience"

    Our family had a photoshoot with Marie, she was very professional, capturing a moment in time we will treasure. With a newborn, toddler, mum, dad and doggos Marie was unbelievably patient, calm and organised throughout the entire session - making for the most wonderful experience. Marie captured some beautiful moments and connections between our family as we went about our favourite Sunday morning routine, we felt very comfortable. Thank you, we love our photos!

    Emily

  • "You're talented beyond words"

    "We were lucky enough to be photographed by Marie. It was relaxing, calm, and comfortable even taking small breaks to chat, and tend to our little guy as needed with no pressure or awkwardness. It was like welcoming a family member into your home, barely knowing she was there and making sure through the whole experience we felt authentic to us. Thank you, Marie, for these precious photos, we adore them, you're talented beyond words and hope we can engage in more photos with you as Seb grows up."

    Elle

  • "The photos are beautiful"

    “We’re beyond happy with the photos Marie took of our family! She visited us for both a maternity photoshoot and then newborn photos once our Bub was born and we can’t recommend her highly enough. Marie is warm, calm and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. We love how she captured the real moments in our family - nothing staged or forced. The photos are beautiful and I’m so glad she captured these special, fleeting moments.”

  • "Marie made me feel so comfortable"

    As someone who has never been confident in their body, Marie made me feel so comfortable and beautiful while taking my pregnancy photos. We laughed and told stories the whole time, it was very relaxed and enjoyable. When she came back to take photos of the 3 of us as a family she really helped to celebrate in the journey we had just been through as a family and first time parents. She was so kind and flexible, working around feeds and nappy changes. All while capturing beautiful moments to last a life time.

  • "We couldn’t be happier"

    “‘We engaged Marie when we were in the process of opening Tartine and we are so pleased that we did! She shot the space comprehensively within the time frame we had available, got the finished shots through promptly and the results were fantastic. Marie perfectly encapsulated the feel of the venue and we couldn’t be happier with the stunning images we have. They have been used prolifically on our website, social media and in print media. We would happily use Marie for any future work and would gladly recommend her photography services.”
