A Moment In Time Photography

Hi, I’m Jess.

Illawarra-based photographer, midwife, and mum capturing raw connection, tender newborn days, and real family moments in soft natural light.

Behind the lens

Midwife, mother, and storyteller

My work as a registered midwife and mother shapes every session I guide. I understand the delicate, wondrous rhythm of welcoming new life, ensuring your photo experience feels calm, unhurried, and deeply safe.

I passionately believe mothers belong in front of the lens alongside their children. You deserve tangible keepsakes of your genuine presence and tenderness, rather than always being the person holding the camera.

My approach

Unscripted, relaxed, and authentic

Photographing connection requires patience, softness, and space for moments to breathe naturally.

Baby-led & calm

Imperfection embraced

Honest connection

No strict schedules or forced poses. We pause for feeds, cuddles, and quiet rests whenever your baby needs them.

Children do not need to sit still or behave perfectly. The laughter, natural curiosity, and playful chaos are what make your story real.

Focusing on how your family feels together rather than rigid staging, capturing subtle glances and warm embraces you will treasure forever.

A little more about me

Beyond the camera

The quiet details and simple pleasures that fill my life in the Illawarra.

Illawarra coastal life

Daily rituals

Midwifery heart

Based in NSW between the mountains and the ocean. Coastal walks, golden hour light, and crisp sea air keep me grounded and inspired.

Slow morning coffees, linen textures, cozy family afternoons at home, and warm tea while editing your precious memories.

Caring for mothers during birth and postpartum taught me profound empathy, a steady hand, and endless awe for family life.

Let’s create heirloom memories together

Whether you are expecting a baby or capturing your family’s current chapter, I would love to welcome you into a relaxed session.
