My favourite locations 

Choosing Your Location
The location of your photos plays a big role in setting the vibe and overall look of your gallery.

I usually work at local spots around Ballarat, a short drive away, or at the beautiful Surf Coast. Sessions can also take place at your home or another meaningful location — if you have a special spot in mind, just let me know and we can chat about it.

The old car garage

Not for the faint-hearted, but full of fun! Featuring a black-and-white checked backdrop with pops of yellow and red, this location is perfect for families who love activities — feel free to bring a scooter or skateboard.

A beautiful garden setting with plenty of variety each area has its own unique feel and changes with the seasons. A favourite spot with many of my local clients.

A family of three, a woman, a man, and a young child, stand in shallow water on a beach. The woman holds the child, and the family is smiling and looking at each other. The sun is setting behind a mountain in the background, casting a bright light and creating a scenic outdoor setting.

A stunning coastal location reached by a short walk (around 200 stairs) down to the sand. There’s plenty to explore for the kids, pack a towel and spare clothes, because they will get wet!

Usually quiet with low crowds, though expect a little more foot traffic in summer. Located about 1.5 hours from Ballarat.

This coastal gem is perfect for little adventurers! There’s so much to explore, and trust me—they’ll end up wet, so bring a towel and spare clothes. To make the most of it (and avoid the crowds), early mornings are ideal here..
