Birth, Maternity, Newborn and Family Photography
Canberra + Surrounds

Welcome!

It’s so lovely to have you here and I look forward to giving you a glimpse into my work.

I’m Elise and I am so proud to spend my days photographing beautiful moments between children and their families. I am based in Canberra, and do travel to our surrounding regions a few times throughout the year for family sesssions on the beach and in-home newborn sessions.

I photograph families, expecting families, newborn babies and the occasional birth.

My work is soft, warm, timeless and full of love.

Please reach out if you have any questions or ideas you’d like to chat about!

The Journey

Meet Elise

I’m Elise, I was born and grew up here in Canberra. I love this place and it’s mountain backdrop, the beautiful seasons, the goodberries and the small town vibe of this growing city.

I’m married to Patrick and together we live in a sweet little house with our two girls, Charlotte and Evelyn. And our fur-baby Golden Retriever Alfie.

I’ve been taking photos since high school. It’s been a slowly evolving love and has grown from an interest into a thriving portrait photography business.

I have a background in Nursing and Health, that was my career until my eldest daughter was born and I embraced my creative passion and decided to give it my full focus.

I love creating images that I myself would love to have of my own family, and love getting to know the families I work with in this wild journey of parenthood.
