Heartfelt Photography for families and couples in Warrnambool & South West Victoria

 

Hi, I’m Carly!

I’m a South West Victoria photographer based 15 mins North of Warrnambool, I live on a little hobby farm with my beautiful family and a whole lot of animals.


I’m a mum of two, a wife, a sister, a daughter, and a friend!  


When I’m not behind the camera, Im working my day job as an inclusion support officer for early years services. Alternatively you’ll  find me outside,  in my veggie patch, potting seedlings, camping, caring for our forever growing animal collection- or attempting to be a very ambitious hobby farmer.


Photography isn’t just something I do,  it’s an extension of who I am. With over 14 years of experience as an early years educator, I’ve spent most of my life working with children and families. I understand little personalities, big emotions, and how to gently guide moments so they feel natural and never forced. I’m also a qualified remedial massage and beauty therapist, which means I genuinely care about helping people feel comfortable, confident, and at ease, something that makes such a difference during a session.


I specialize in children, families, newborn, maternity and couples, and I’m so excited to now be opening my books to weddings (yayy!!). Capturing love stories as they grow is something truly special to me.


Having lived in the Warrnambool region almost my whole life, this community means everything to me. I love meeting new people, hearing their stories, and I’m always up for a good challenge.


My goal is to build trust and genuine relationships with every family and couple I photograph. I want you to feel comfortable, seen, and completely yourself in front of my camera. When there’s trust, the magic happens naturally. The way your little one reaches for your hand. The laughter that bubbles up unexpectedly. Those real connections, real emotions, and the little in-between moments are what I’m here to capture -the moments you’ll treasure not just today, but for years to come!


I can’t wait to meet you and your family and be able to help tell your story.

Location

Nestled on Victoria’s stunning south-west coast, Warrnambool and surrounds offer rugged coastline, golden beaches, and scenic bushland, perfect for capturing natural, heartfelt family moments.


From sunrise by the ocean to playful paddock afternoons and quiet green spaces, it’s an ideal backdrop for warm, timeless photography.
