HELLO THERE!
It's me, Alice.
And I think there’s a photo you keep meaning to take.
I have three kids and almost no photographs of me holding any of them as babies.
I meant to book it. I really did. Once I’d lost the baby weight, once things calmed down, once I felt ready. So I waited.
And the newborn weeks passed, and the first steps came and went, and now the only proof I was even there is a handful of blurry selfies I took in the bathroom mirror.
I would give almost anything to have those photos now. That’s the ache I built this whole business around, so no other mum ends up where I am: loving her babies fiercely, with nothing on the wall to show for it.
So, hi. I'm Alice, a newborn, maternity and family photographer in Rockhampton and Yeppoon, and I'm here to make sure you're in the picture.
My road here wasn't a straight line (is anyone's?).
First stop: thirteen years as a journalist, camera over one shoulder, learning that the real story always lives in the small, unguarded moment, never the posed one. Turns out I was training for this the whole time.
Ten years photographing families.
Accredited as a Click Pro Photographer, for artistic voice and technical excellence.
Featured in Gallery Lane Magazine.
Member of the Professional Photography Business Network.
Trained every year in infant CPR, first aid and safe newborn handling.
And a mum of three photographing her own cheeky monkeys, over and over, because I can’t help myself.
And because I've stood exactly where you are, I know the excuses by heart.
Too busy. I’ll wait until I’ve lost a bit of weight. The kids will never sit still. I’ve said every one of them. They’re the same excuses that cost me my own photos, which is why I don’t let them cost you yours.
So I take the whole thing off your plate. I plan your session, guide you through it, design the artwork, and deliver it to your door, ready to hang.
The mental load is mine. Being present is yours.
So if you want a photographer who'll make sure you're in the frame and on the wall...
…consider my hand officially raised.

(Highlight of my day is always morning snuggles with my babies and the coffee my husband makes me with a love heart in it. I plan our holidays around where we’re going to eat, not what we’re going to see. And if there’s chocolate in the house, it’s already gone.)
