I'm Claire and I just really bloody love taking pictures.
I'm a Phillip Island-based family photographer with a mad love for making sure your favourite people and your favourite moments are never, ever forgotten.
Because one day, these photographs will become part of your family's story. They'll be reminders of the little things that feel impossible to forget right now, but somehow fade with time.
The thing that drives me? That nostalgic, gooey, spine-tingling feeling you get when you stumble across an old photograph and are instantly transported back to a moment you thought you'd forgotten.
That's the magic I'm chasing every time I pick up a camera.
Photos create tangible evidence that you exist, they tell your story. They create reminders of places you’ve been and people you’ve loved.
I think that’s bloody magic.
The day I picked up a camera I realised I had the power to freeze time & I’ve been in love ever since.
Photos are more than just a post on social media, they’re your history.
"Instantly when we met Claire she felt like a friend. We felt so relaxed & comfortable through the entire session. The weather was not in anyone's favour that day but Claire did not let that ruin the photos or the experience. She just embraced the day and made it work to her advantage. I could have honestly cried of happiness once we received the photos.I was so so in love. They were magical. I will forever cherish the memory's Claire has given us. We can't wait to get photos done again soon with her.

"If you are wanting some breathtaking memories captured then you are looking at the right girl! Our experience with Claire was an absolute breeze all the way through. Claire made us feel comfortable throughout the shoot and even turned our 4 year old into her apprentice (which was rather entertaining). Claire captured some truly magical moments that we will cherish for a lifetime.."

Just pop through an enquiry via my contact form and I'll be in touch with all the details.
I usually book out a month or two ahead, particularly during the warmer months, so if you've got a specific date or season in mind, I'd recommend getting in touch early.
All of my outdoor sessions are booked for the hour before sunset (excluding in-home newborn sessions). That's when the light is all golden, glowy and downright dreamy.
I know this timing isn't always ideal for little people with bedtimes and very strong opinions, so if you're worried about making it work, let's chat! We'll find the best option for your family.
Your gallery will be delivered via email within 1–3 weeks of your session. You'll receive a beautiful online gallery where you can download your images, share them with family and friends, and order prints if you'd like.
Once you're booked in, I'll send through a prep guide with everything you need to know, including what to wear, what to bring and how the session will run.
At the end of the day, these sessions are really just an excuse to spend some quality time with your favourite people while I quietly document it all.
Extended family sessions can be organized at an additional $150! Extra family members means extra time and extra organization. If you’d like to do multiple family combinations, I can help you come up with a list of photos
