​As a mama to one boy I have a goal similarly shared by all the families I know and that can be summed up in one word; balance.

Photographing schools and childcare centres grants me a balance between my work and home life, whilst really synthesising the two.

My life as a photographer has always been rewarding and exciting, I love people, I love love and I love capturing expressions, pure emotions, and of course those beautiful giggles. But I almost gave up the pleasure of my work because I was struggling to find balance with my family. Working as a photographer involved inconsistent hours, weekends and time away when my little heart needed me the most.

When I was invited to apply as the official photographer at my son’s Steiner School I felt absolutely honoured and thrilled to win the project. Of course, knowing many of the little faces made it all the more fun. Photographing the children the following year I again enjoyed recording how much they had grown.

As a family portrait photographer, I worked my darnedest to evoke those joyful expressions from every single one of those 300 children.

When I received the wonderful feedback I realised I had found my calling.

What I love the most is that my personal philosophy, interests, and growth as a mother complement my work as a school and kindy photographer. I know compassion and a little patience goes a long way, and I delight in talking with little people, their playful zest for life rubs off.

Now, collaborating with warm-hearted photographers and superstar assistants - whose role purely is to bring the fun to the children we photograph, we are thriving and growing the business every year.

Your custom is helping our whole team live our dreams of a balanced life, supporting our families whilst doing what we love.  What a gift.

I truly thank you, from my heart to yours.

Catherine
