Lifestyle Photography
Thank you so much for being here. Whatever chapter you’re in, celebrating your love with a couples session or proposal, preparing to welcome your little one, soaking up the beauty of motherhood, or documenting the wild, heartfelt chaos of family life. I’m truly honoured that you’re considering me to capture it.
Inside this guide you’ll find everything you need to know about my lifestyle collections, what’s included, and how I keep the entire experience comfortable, joyful, and beautifully tailored to you. If you’d like to chat through ideas or have any questions, I’m only ever a message away.
Let’s create something meaningful, honest, and full of heart.
These are the moments you’ll want to hold onto.
From the soft anticipation before your session, to the giggles and heartfelt chaos that unfolds, I’m there for every moment. My approach is relaxed, natural, and focused on documenting the genuine connection you share.
Whether you’re celebrating your love story, embracing the incredible journey of pregnancy, or soaking up the beautifully imperfect magic of family life, I’ll capture both the big, joy filled moments and the quiet in-betweens. The way your hands instinctively cradle your bump. The tiny fingers wrapped around yours. The comfort of being held by the people who know you best.
This season deserves to be remembered exactly as it feels: full of heart, full of personality, and full of love.
HI, I’M DAHLIA
A creative soul
And storyteller
Creativity has always been a part of who I am, and I’m endlessly inspired by the way people love and live in the moments that matter most.
I’m drawn to honest storytelling , the laughter, the tenderness, the tiny details that make your chapter completely unique.
Through photography, I get to preserve these fleeting seasons so you can look back and feel them all over again.
Kind Words
“We love Dahlia. Dahlia is so naturally gifted behind the camera. Everything about our shoot was so natural and being at home here on the farm we were in our element. The patience and encouragement Dahlia gave to our kids, the way she made them laugh and listen to her cues was amazing. Our shoot was made fun for them which settled any nerves we had and made things so relaxed for us.
Dahlia has captured our family and each of our personalities perfectly. We cannot wait to have her re visit us on the farm in the coming years and forever more.” M.F

Take a deep breath and enjoy the moment. Whether we’re celebrating your growing bump, playing mermaids in an underwater session, or simply embracing the beautiful connection you share, I’ll guide you gently when needed, but mostly I’ll let the natural magic unfold. Laughter, softness, play, movement, and everything in between.

BOOK NOW
A seamless and stress free experience designed just for you.
You’ll always know what’s happening, what to expect, and when, so all you have to do is soak up the excitement on the day.
What To Wear
This is your story, so let’s choose a location that reflects you.
Choosing Your Outfits
Choosing outfits shouldn’t feel stressful, the goal is always to help you feel comfortable, confident, and beautifully you. The best clothing is what allows you to move, play, cuddle, and connect without distraction.
Here are a few simple tips to make getting ready a breeze.
-
Do you want a calm, easy session…
a barefoot splash in the water kind of session, or a hike to the top of a mountain session? There’s no wrong answer, just what feels like you. -
If anyone is pregnant, elderly, or has mobility needs, we’ll choose a location that’s easy and enjoyable for everyone.
-
Pick somewhere you feel good, being relaxed makes for relaxed images.
-
Your pets are part of the family, muddy paws, wiggly excitement, and all. If your furry friend is joining us, we’ll make sure they feel comfortable and included in a natural way at a pet friendly location.
-
Each season has its own beauty, and weather patterns. We can plan with that in mind.
-
Shy kids? Nervous about PDA? We’ll avoid busy places so you can just be yourselves.
-
Golden hour (the first hour after sunrise or the last hour before sunset) gives the most dreamy, flattering light outdoors. Midday sun can be a little harsher, but it works wonderfully for bold, bright, playful imagery, especially at the beach or in open fields. Indoors, we’ll chase the softest natural light in your home to keep everything warm and comfortable.
Locations
This is your story, so let’s choose a location that reflects you.
Choosing Your Location
The setting plays a huge role in how your story feels, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether it’s a beach at sunset, a cosy corner of home, or an epic field with mountain views, the best location is one that feels true to you.
Think about places that already mean something to you, a favourite beach, a lookout you love, your family farm, or even a friend’s private property. And when you imagine printing these images for your walls, what colours do you see around you? Lush greens, warm golden sunsets, soft sandy tones, or something a little moodier?
We’ll chat through ideas together, and I’ll recommend spots that match the style and vibe you’re dreaming of, natural, relaxed, warm, and full of life.
Outdoor Locations
Think golden sunsets, rolling fields, forests, beaches, waterfalls, mountains, or a favourite place you love to explore together. Outdoor sessions are perfect for movement, running, dancing, splashing, playing.
Weather in Tasmania has a mind of its own, but I always keep flexibility in my calendar to shift if needed and chase the best light.
01
At Home Sessions
Your home is already part of your story, the place where memories live. These sessions are slow, comfortable, and full of heartfelt connection.
No need for a magazine perfect home, natural light and love are the only essentials.

Videography
The perfect add on for anyone who wants the movement, sound, and personality of this season captured in a fun highlight film.
Your life is full of little sounds and gestures that photos can’t always show, the giggles of your kids, the way your dress dances in the breeze, your partner whispering something that makes you smile, the splash of water during an underwater session… video brings all of that back in the most immersive, heartfelt way.
By adding a highlight film to your session, you’ll receive a beautifully edited mini movie that feels like a true memory in motion, perfectly complementing your photographs. The big, joyful moments. The tender in-betweens. The tiny details that make this chapter uniquely yours. Captured with intention, so you can relive the feeling again and again. From $400.
LET KIDS BE KIDS
LET THEM BE WILD
Little ones weren’t made to sit still, and that’s the magic. I never expect perfect behaviour, perfectly posed smiles, or clean outfits. Children are curious, playful, wild, tender, and wonderfully unpredictable… and that’s exactly what makes these moments worth remembering.
During your session, they’ll run, explore, hug, giggle, show me their favourite sticks, and maybe even decide shoes are totally optional, and I’ll be right there capturing it all. The in-between moments, the real connection, the way they look at you when they think no one’s watching.
Your family doesn’t need to look perfect, just perfectly like you.
So take a deep breath, let them be little, and trust that the most meaningful photos come from letting your kids simply be kids.
Kind Words
“We organise an extended family photoshoot with Dahlia and were absolutely blown away by the images we got back. The quality was exceptional and she delivered the fully edited package very quickly. Having seen her portfolio we had high expectations for the photos, and what we received far exceed what we could have hoped for.
The session itself was run flawlessly, with Dahlia making sure even the most shy family members were made comfortable. She kept the session moving at a relaxed pace, but ensured that we got all of the photos we wanted (and then some).
Dahlia was wonderful with children, and captured some of the most precious photos.
I would highly recommend her to all, and intend to use her services in the future. If you book with her you will not be disappointed!” A.B
