Meet your photographer

Hey there, I'm Lani



Mama. Wife. and of course - photographer.  I call myself one of the lucky one's to live on the beautiful Northern Rivers of NSW Australia photographing families, newborns, maternity and weddings in my classic, timeless style. I absolutely adore love stories, joyful connection and the love of family.  


As a mother of two fiercely spirited girls, my passion for photography grew when my girls were tiny. I didn't want to miss a moment of them growing up. Capturing our everyday moments to hold onto and soak in every second, in joyful, chaotic, everyday life.


My promise to you as your photographer is to make you feel comfortable and relaxed, guiding you through each session so we can achieve beautiful moments that are honest, authentic and will remain universally true always.

Telling your  story



Connect with me



If you've made it this far, it's because you know how precious time is. You want to freeze these moments before they become just a memory. You want to be able to look back and remember what this season of life was like and all of its little details.


This is why I know you're in the right place. We already have something in common. By the end of this experience you never feel like 'clients' or 'customers', it feels like we're friends. That's why I have so many clients return and when they do, it feels like catching up as if no time has passed. More importantly though, I want you to use this time to switch off from the busyness of life and just enjoy quality time with the ones who mean most to you.
