i make family photos easy

- one of the easiest things you'll do as a family -

- one of the easiest things you'll do as a family -

apart from being a toowoomba and brisbane family photographer

I’m Pip - mum to two teenage daughters and wife to a very patient man. I’m an introverted extrovert. Sarcastic AF. Depop lover. Self diagnosed ADHD. DIY cocktail maker. Old school sun baker - with coconut oil. Matcha wanker. True crime obsessed. Globophobic.

I'll be honest, I really don't like having my photo taken, and I'm guessing you don't either. Not many people do. The second the focus is on me I go super self-conscious and clam right up, so I know exactly what that feeling is like from the other side of the camera, too. That's the whole reason my sessions are built the way they are: relaxed, easy, actually fun, so you're not just standing there feeling like a complete twat. Sure, I'll guide you on where to look and what to do, but it never feels like a big deal, just a normal afternoon with a camera in the background.

I make family photos that aren't painful.

your search for a family photographer is over - o.v.a.h.

I'll tell you why - because I know you just want good, honest photos that look and feel like you, without it feeling like a big production. And that's exactly what I do.

It’s years of knowing how to read a room, how to keep things flowing so no one’s standing around wondering what to do and most importantly I know how to keep the kids on side.

By the end, you’ll realise you spent more time laughing than stressing.

So if you've been looking for a Toowoomba or Brisbane family photographer who won't make you stand in a line, hold hands and sing ‘Kumbaya’, you're in the right place.

ways we can work together

I’m really good at working with families to create photos that feel relaxed

Erase that idea in your head that family photos are just a big ol' cringe fest. Because there's not an ounce of that with me. I mean, I say and do a lot of things to embarrass myself….but that continually proves to help those I'm photographing feel a little less wanky on the other side of the camera. Relaxed, easy, actually fun - I promise.

I like how this sounds

i also love helping women create fab headshots for their biz

As a small business owner myself, I care about how I’m seen and received. I carry that with me when you’re in front of my camera. I understand how important it is to show up online looking and feeling like yourself, so people can actually connect with you.
