Capturing love, joy and laughter.

Your family, captured with honesty.

Sydney Newborn, Maternity and Family Photographer

The thing is, there is more to photography than just a pretty picture of everyone staring down the barrel of a camera. It’s about feeling something. I want you to look back on your photos and see the freckles on your youngest’s nose, the way their whole face lights up when they look at you, their chubby little fingers and the way they scrunch up their face when they laugh. Connection and pure joy are moments that become the memory you wish you could go back and relive again and again. With photos, this is possible. It’s the one medium that allows you to travel back in time.

Hi I’m Sue

I’m a mum of three beautiful kids (who are growing up before my very eyes), a wife, a lover of life, fun and the way the light sets over the hills. Photography brings me such pure joy, because I know how quickly time goes and I want to help you remember it forever. I am a family and newborn photographer based in the Sydney Hills District, but travel all over Sydney.

But let’s get to know each other first, shall we?

Why Choose Sue

I know what it’s like, to feel like time is literally zooming by faster than you can keep up with. The days are filled with survival, work, school, extracurricular activities – the next thing you know it’s been a year and when did your baby stop reaching for you to carry everywhere?

It’s a bag of mixed emotions, joy and excitement mixed with heartbreak and guilt (oh, the mum guilt). That is why I do what I do – take a moment from your busy lives to just be present and capture this exact season of your life. It’s a moment you’ll never get back.

Being a mum to three of my own (not so little) kids, I know how to relate to your littlies, how to get them laughing and enjoying the session. I also know the scale of emotions little ones have, so you can be rest assured you are being taken care of by a fellow mama who has been through all the ups and downs of toddlerdom. It’s a rollercoaster, and no tantrum will stop us from getting some special images.

  • Sue is absolutely incredible! We couldn’t be happier with our choice to book Sue for our son’s first birthday cake smash and splash. She makes the whole process smooth, easy and fun. Lots of communication, help and flexibility prior to the photo shoot. We felt extremely comfortable in front of the camera and everyone was having lots of fun. Her photos are gorgeous and makes it so hard to choose a selection. We cannot wait to hang some photos in our home and to share with family and friends. Looking forward to working with Sue again!

  • Sue is very passionate about her work. Photo session with her was absolutely seamless, calm, relaxed and fun. She made us and the kids feel very comfortable, her styling tips were amazing and she was very patient and warm to work with. Not to mention the photos taken by her were fantastic. Will definetely be recommending her to family and friends.

  • Sue was amazing! We had a large family group including 11 kids under the age of 12 and the entire shoot went so smoothly and so quickly. She was so patient and accommodating to everyone’s needs. Sue rearranged her entire day due to the predicted rain forecast when the photos were due to be taken to ensure the shoot took place. The photos look amazing and we could not be happier. We would all use Sue again and would highly recommend her. You won’t be disappointed!!!

  • What an amazing evening for my 9 year old. Totally natural, no stage make up, just her beautiful natural self. Sue made Mia feel totally at ease and she had a blast on our location shoot. The end result literally stopped me in my tracks and bought a tear to my eye, I hope my darling girl always see’s herself as I do. I highly highly recommend Sue to any & all, we had to reschedule several times due to the ever changing weather in Sydney, but definitely worth the wait. Thank you for these beautiful keepsakes.

  • I've been a big fan of Sue's online portfolio for a few years now. When I learned I was expecting my first child, I knew I wanted to have some photos taken that I could treasure and she absolutely delivered 100%. Her work is proudly displayed in the homes of some of my friends and family. Not only is she obviously incredibly passionate about her art, she oozes the warmth and charisma that comes from the years of experience of being around families and children and in so doing she manages to ensure they feel comfortable and content. Sue is a mother herself and it is clear she sees the value in capturing these precious moments so they can be enjoyed for many years. I couldn't be more thrilled with her work, and look forward to having more photos taken in the future as our family grows.

  • Beautiful pictures and she managed to make my very unsmiling baby laugh. She was flexible with our time and location. Sue coached us through the whole process. I would highly recommend.
