Hi there....
It's been a while since we had a little introduction.
I'm Lani! A lover of sunsets and love stories!
My passion for photography started when my two girls were born. Not wanting to miss a minute of them growing up, I followed them around with my camera in hand and I started documenting moments of our days together. Story time, static hair from the trampoline, jumping in a pile of leaves, the princess dancing, chaseys in the paddock and lounge-room concerts!!
Through the lens, I loved watching the connection grow between my girls (instant BFF). Capturing a feeling that is gone in an instant but I could soak it in and re-live it in photo!! My heart is done.
This was it for me. Preserving a moment, a feeling in single shot. It's like magic. I loved this so much that I kept learning more about photography, storytelling, and how to use my camera. As a mother, I found myself wanting to capture moments like this for my friends and other families so that they have beautiful memories of their babes too.
And now, 10 years later, I am a professional memory keeper.
When is the last time you had your family portraits taken?
"I capture the heart of your story - beautifully unscripted, deeply felt, and forever cherished. For couples and families who value real connection, my photography turns moments into memories that feel just like you."
—Lani
My Why
To me, it's not just taking pictures; I'm preserving love in it's most organic form.
My "WHY" comes from a desire to honor life's fleeting yet powerful moments - whether it's a wedding kiss in the rain, your tiny baby swaddled in a rug, or your kids playing chaseys in a field. And there I'll be - ensuring you feel seen, heard and comfortable throughout the entire experience.
My goal is to provide families with timeless keepsakes that reflect their connection, their story, and their joy.
My Vision
To become your family's "go-to" photographer for all the seasons in your life. I'm here for the families and couples who want meaningful, natural, and emotive imagery.
"We're having a baby" let's call Lani.
"She said yes" let's call Lani.
"My family are in town for Gran's 80th" let's call Lani.
Capturing life with honesty, connection and heart. I envision my work becoming part of your legacy - dearly loved and treasured for generations.
My Values
- Authenticity - real moments matter more than perfect poses
- Family - are the centre of your world and you love deeply
- Connection - relationships are at the heart of every image
- Presence - being fully in the moment embracing the journey
- Heart-Led Service - I care deeply about people's experience and stories
For me, photography comes from a place of feeling. A place of heart and of home.

What I want you to know more than anything else.....
I truly believe that photos are such an important part of life. They are a legacy not only for today, but to future generations to come. To document something as beautiful as laughter, love, and connection is truly remarkable. To capture something we don't want to forget. Moments and details that fade over time in memory, but become everlasting in photos.
For in photos, we show a life that is lived and moments that are loved.
My promise to you as your photographer is to always make you feel relaxed in front of the camera, to guide you through each session and to capture your most treasured family memories for you to hang proudly on the walls of your home.

Things I Love.
I’m a lover of sunshine, of family camping trips by the seaside. I love singing 80’s Rock ballads in the car (really loud) and the sound of my kids laughter. I often find myself at Bunnings on the weekends (#adulting) or spending our summer days by the pool with my kids (wine in hand of course!).
I have always been a dreamer and adore staring at the starry night sky. I am a night owl, a serious TV series binge watcher, I have a sweet tooth and love listening to true crime podcasts. I am firm believer in continuous growth and an advocate for learning and education.
Now the girls are older, we love travelling overseas as a family, with our recent trip to New Zealand in 2023, Fiji in 2024, and now begins the great debate on where in the world we explore in 2025!
