Most days, I'm on the run after these three troublemakers. When they're not keeping me busy, I'm here to support busy mums – the ones missing from family photos, always behind the camera, and tired of waiting for the perfect moment.

Spoiler: the perfect moment doesn't exist. 

But the real ones are even better.

I love nothing more than to capture the perfectly imperfect, everyday moments of family life.

MACEDON RANGES Family and Newborn Photographer

Hey, I'm Megan

I started photographing my own kids when I became a mum and realised how quickly the little things change.

The curls that disappeared overnight. The way they held my hand. The ordinary days that didn’t feel so ordinary after all.

Capturing those moments became my way of slowing time.

When I realised I could do the same for other families — helping parents be in the photos with their kids instead of always behind the camera — it felt pretty special.

Because I know the ache of wishing you had a photograph of a moment that now only lives in your memory.

My camera helps keep those stories alive.

And every family deserves to have those moments remembered.

THE HEART BEHIND MY WORK

’m a family and newborn lifestyle photographer from the Macedon Ranges, living with three incredible little humans and a fella named Tim — dad-extraordinaire, my partner and best friend.

A BIT ABOUT ME

For a long time I was an expert at avoiding photos. I hid behind the camera instead of being in front of it. Looking back at our family album, it honestly looked like Tim was an amazing single dad.

But over time I realised something.

My kids won’t care about the grey hairs, the extra kilos or whether the house was tidy.

They’ll just want to see that I was there. Right beside them.

So now I say yes to being in the photos.

And I want the same for you.

My sessions are relaxed, playful and a little bit unpredictable — just like family life.

Kids can run, explore, cuddle, laugh and be themselves. I’ll guide you gently when needed, but most of the time I’m simply capturing what unfolds naturally.

No stiff posing.
No pressure to be perfect.


Just your family, exactly as you are right now.

What it's like to work with me...

I’m a bit of a sentimental soul and photography is my way of preserving all these memories. I hold them close to my heart as I’m secretly petrified of forgetting those early years when I’m old and grey(er).

It’s the real moments in everyday life that matter the most to me. And I’m not talking just about the milestones. They’re much smaller, both routine and incidental, and can tell the stories of how we were long after we’re gone.

Photographs of these moments hold emotion, show off our personalities and reflect what life is really like. This is why I capture images for my clients with the same passion and attention to detail as I do for my own personal photography.

Unapologetic. Authentic. Meaningful. 

Capturing your stories in the same way I capture mine.

Kind Words

"We recently had family photos taken by the wonderful Megan. We are so blown away with how they have turned out! Megan is super friendly, bubbly and she makes the shoot relaxed and fun. I was a little worried about how my kids would be, but with Megan being so down to earth and amazing, we all had a wonderful time and our photos reflect this!"

Brooke

"Megan is such a talented photographer and made us feel so comfortable having family photos with our newborn and toddler at home. Everyone enjoyed the morning and it was so lovely to have them taken at our own home (and completely took the stress out of having to go somewhere for it). The photos are beautifully candid and we will cherish them forever. Highly recommend booking Megan!"

Aimee

"Megan was professional, down to earth, funny, calm, EXCELLENT with kids - having a 3yr old comply for a photo shoot was nerve wrecking but he LOVED Megan. The shoot was relaxing, slow, not 'staged'- we laughed and talked and almost forgot about the camera for most of it. Cannot recommend Megan enough- we now have beautiful photos to cherish forever."

Despite having hundreds of photos from my own childhood, many memories I hold really close to my heart were never photographed.

They were the little everyday moments.

I’ve told these stories to my kids many times but I'm afraid one day those memories will fade.

There isn’t a photograph to carry them forward.

That’s why I care so much about documenting moments that unfold in front of us.

Because those are the ones your kids will treasure most.

THe photos I wish I had...

The hundreds of apple stickers my grandpa stuck under furniture.

The day I tried to cut my own hair and had a short zig zag fringe for months.

My brothers pretending my pigtails were motorbike handles.

Sliding down the staircase in sleeping bags.

The run to the dining table when Mum would call, "Tea time!"

Sitting on the footpath with my neighbour, waving at passing cars.

Staring contests with passengers in other cars at traffic lights.

Dressing up in my mum's wedding dress and oversized heels.

'Helping' my dad work on the car.

Eating fresh carrots from the veggie patch.

Jumping off bunk beds.

Visiting my mum working at the school canteen.

Travelling to the city with my grandma for a girl's day out.

Me too! I'd love nothing more than to capture the story your family is living right now.

Think we'd make great friends?
