HEARTFELT FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHS

Hills District, Sydney Newborn, Maternity and Family Photographer

Sydney’s Hills District photographer for families who want to remember this season, just as it is

WHICH SESSION ARE YOU INTERESTED IN?

HI I’M SUE

I’m a mum of three beautiful kids (who seem to grow overnight), a sunset chaser, memory keeper, and someone who truly believes the little moments end up meaning the most.

I’m a newborn and family photographer based in the Sydney Hills District, with a cosy studio in Baulkham Hills, and I photograph families all across Sydney. It’s a love job for sure - and I’ve been doing it for over 8 years now and have met hundreds of families.

Whether we’re chasing golden light outdoors, cuddling up at home with your new baby, or creating relaxed portraits in the studio, my goal is always the same: natural, heartfelt photos that feel like your family.

Because one day, these will be the photos your kids look back on.

    “Sue is absolutely incredible! We couldn’t be happier with our choice to book Sue for our son’s first birthday cake smash and splash. She makes the whole process smooth, easy and fun. Lots of communication, help and flexibility prior to the photo shoot. We felt extremely comfortable in front of the camera and everyone was having lots of fun. Her photos are gorgeous and makes it so hard to choose a selection. We cannot wait to hang some photos in our home and to share with family and friends. Looking forward to working with Sue again!”

  • Sonia Parekh

    “Sue is very passionate about her work. Photo session with her was absolutely seamless, calm, relaxed and fun. She made us and the kids feel very comfortable, her styling tips were amazing and she was very patient and warm to work with. Not to mention the photos taken by her were fantastic. Will definitely be recommending her to family and friends.”

  • Rachel Brook

    “Sue was amazing! We had a large family group including 11 kids under the age of 12 and the entire shoot went so smoothly and so quickly. She was so patient and accommodating to everyone’s needs. Sue rearranged her entire day due to the predicted rain forecast when the photos were due to be taken to ensure the shoot took place. The photos look amazing and we could not be happier. We would all use Sue again and would highly recommend her. You won’t be disappointed!!!”

  • Allyson Straw

    “What an amazing evening for my 9 year old. Totally natural, no stage make up, just her beautiful natural self. Sue made Mia feel totally at ease and she had a blast on our location shoot. The end result literally stopped me in my tracks and bought a tear to my eye, I hope my darling girl always see’s herself as I do. I highly highly recommend Sue to any & all, we had to reschedule several times due to the ever changing weather in Sydney, but definitely worth the wait. Thank you for these beautiful keepsakes.”

  • Jacqueline Shaw

    “I've been a big fan of Sue's online portfolio for a few years now. When I learned I was expecting my first child, I knew I wanted to have some photos taken that I could treasure and she absolutely delivered 100%. Her work is proudly displayed in the homes of some of my friends and family. Not only is she obviously incredibly passionate about her art, she oozes the warmth and charisma that comes from the years of experience of being around families and children and in so doing she manages to ensure they feel comfortable and content. Sue is a mother herself and it is clear she sees the value in capturing these precious moments so they can be enjoyed for many years. I couldn't be more thrilled with her work, and look forward to having more photos taken in the future as our family grows.”

  • Victoria Gane

    “Beautiful pictures and she managed to make my very unsmiling baby laugh. She was flexible with our time and location. Sue coached us through the whole process. I would highly recommend.”

  • Sammie C.

    “Sue came highly recommended by a few of my friends and she did not disappoint! From our very first interaction she was so accommodating, flexible and thoughtful. We appreciated her tips and advice prior to the shoot and her guidance on the day of the shoot. She managed to capture our 3 year old's attention the entire time and made the afternoon fun and enjoyable. The photos were incredible, we couldn't be happier. Highly recommend, will definitely be using Sue again for future family photoshoots. Thanks Sue!”
