Fun, relaxed family photography in North Brisbane. Child-led sessions that feel like playing together, not posing together.

Photos by Sam is a North Brisbane based photographer, specialising in relaxed, newborn and family photography. She also has a special interest in capturing motherhood - from pregnancy, to the sleepy newborn stage, right through to babyhood and beyond. Capturing motherhood, whatever that look like for you, is just as important for your children as it is for you.

One day you’ll you back at this very short season of life and be grateful that you’ve got beautiful photos with them.

“I have had the pleasure of working with Sam several times in my career as an artist and small biz owner, and also with family photos.

She always helps me feel relaxed and she works around me in situ as I create, and it always feels like such a natural experience.
I’ve dubbed her The Feeling Photographer because she has a natural knack for making moments feel magical through her photography! Truly!

Best photographer I’ve ever come across, both in her talented images, and who she is as a professional.

Whether you’re a small biz, family, or have a special event, I just know Sam will elicit the magic in the moments beautifully for you!
Thanks for all your beautiful work, Sambo!!”

“Honestly Sam is the most beautiful mum and it really makes her the best family photographer. We had so much fun and it was really emotional looking through all the photos. As a busy mum I never really get the chance to see how others see me when I’m playing with my babies. Sam gave me the ability to see this and wow! The photos are so candid and lovely, exactly what I wanted.”

“Sam photographed our wedding, and we were so happy with her flexibility, availability, and support throughout the entire process. She was professional, friendly, and incredibly supportive both on the day and afterwards. We’re so grateful for her work and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.”

Highly recommend!!!”

Mum of two, all round creative and absolute coffee snob.

I’m passionate about capturing the small beautiful moments between families, and documenting this season parent-hood before they inevitably grow up too soon!
