Imagine a documentary-style video capturing the little moments that make your life extraordinary: family laughter, your kids' voices, your daily routines and the unique quirks that make up your family’s story.
Based in the Bega Valley, but will travel.
beautiful family moments, captured forever
for busy mums wanting to slow down and hold onto the ordinary but important moments.
Life moves fast, and it's easy to get caught up in the hustle. But what about those moments that make it all worthwhile? The belly laughs, the tiny hands in yours, the stories that unfold every day – those are the moments you want to hold onto forever.
Being a one-woman show, I understand the dance of work and motherhood. I've spent 20+ years crafting stories through photography and videography. And now, I'm bringing that expertise to something even more personal – your family's story.

how it works
Filming
We spend three hours together filming your family’s life at home, or in a location that is special to you. The session is unobtrusive and relaxed, ensuring everyone feels as natural as possible. I capture visuals as well as audio from our session, so you’ll hear your children’s voices and the special things they say.
Editing
I then spend at least seven hours carefully editing, cutting and crafting this footage into a moving story. This includes sourcing licensed music as a backing track for your video.
End result
You receive a 6-12 minute cinematic-style video that encapsulates the beauty of your family’s story. You also receive a 1-minute highlight reel and 10 high-resolution family photographs.
“OH HONEY, THAT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL. I HAD A SMILE AND A TEAR WATCHING THE WHOLE THING.”

Hold onto those special moments just a little longer
These documentary-style short videos are ideal for:
Busy families — your life is full, between work, kids and life commitments. And sometimes you feel like time is passing too quickly and want to hold onto those special (and often crazy) moments for just a second longer.
Parents who value authentic and quality imagery — you don’t want another perfectly styled, everyone-wearing-white shoot. You want something custom and unique.
Folks who know story matters — you believe in cherishing the little moments that make life extraordinary. You want a family video to remember, not just today but for generations to come.
“Thanks so much Honey!!! Absolutely amazing memories for us to look back on, such a treasured item!!”

book your family film
Children grow up so fast; these moments are fleeting. Capturing your family on video isn’t something you book every year — more like once or twice in a lifetime. In 10 years, you’ll look back and be so glad you did.
