FAMILY.
ADVENTURE.
MAGIC.
From golden beaches to wild bush trails and misty mountain tops - I capture families as they really are; playful, connected and full of heart.
"With Jakki's calm character, the whole journey was pleasant, easy and smooth. You only need to leave it to her and she will find the right moments and poses to catch incredible and fun memories of you and your beloved ones.

Whether your family feels most at home chasing waves, climbing rocks or wandering through native bush, my sessions are relaxed, unhurried and joy-filled.
Why Choose Outdoor Adventure Photography?
Adventure photography beats park sessions because it lets your family do what you really love - exploring real places such as beaches, bush trails, and mountain tops together.
Instead of a boring, fenced-in parks, you get to run barefoot on the sand, chase waves, climb rocks, or wander through trees, making genuine moments that feel like your everyday fun.
These spots bring out your family's true playfulness and closeness, just you being you in nature's wide-open spaces.
Sessions I offer...
Beach Magic Sessions - barefoot laughs, salt spray, and sunset cuddles
Bush Trail Sessions - dappled light, gum-scented air, and warm hugs
Riverbank Sessions - tranquil reflections and heartfelt moments
Mountain Top Sessions - adventure-filled views and wind-swept joy

But What If My Kids Won't Cooperate?
Every parents worst nightmare, right?
I get it. You're booking family portraits but stressing if your little one will meltdown or your teen won't smile.
Truth: The best shots happen when kids are just themselves.
How I handle kids:
-
No stiff poses - we play, explore, and catch real moments with light guidance.
-
I'm super patient - we go at your family's speed.
-
Kids love outdoors - they run, climb, get curious while I capture their joy.
-
Breaks anytime - snack, nap? We pause.
-
Backup tricks ready - games for shy ones.
= Happy kids and portraits where you all look relaxed and real.
Your Family. As Art.
Do you wish you were in more photographs with your children and partner?
This is your chance to celebrate your family, just as you are, right now. My goal is to capture those genuine, heartfelt interactions: the laughter, the cuddles, the playful glances and the quiet moments that make your family unique. I take the time to get to know you and your loved ones, so I can anticipate and capture those fleeting, beautiful connections.

"Jakki was a pleasure to work with. She listened and guided us through our photoshoot. I finally have portraits of ME and of my children that I am proud of."
~ Ingrid
"We've used Jacqueline a number of times now for our family portraits and each time she has listened to us on the look we wanted to achieve and produced a fantastic mix of staged and natural shots of our family of 5. She's wonder to work with and we'll be using her again in future! Very happy to recommend her."
~ Caroline
"Jakki is a great photographer who did my individual photo shoot, as well as our family one. She was very professional and made me feel special. I absolutely love my family portraits! I would highly recommend Jakki to anyone!"
~ Petra
We have had a few family photo shoots now with Jakki and she's been great (especially with our 3 young kids to try and tame on a beach setting) - she managed to capture very natural results. Very happy, need to book another shoot soon!
~ Nicky
"Jacqueline produced the most fantastic and authentic photos of our kids at their martial arts classes. She was fun, kind, patient, and SO efficient. The raw photographs were amazing, but her digital processing turned them into something very special. Jakki is very talented."
~ Jen
"I highly recommend Jakki! We have used her service for couple of times and got surprised each time with the photos! With her nice and calm character, the whole journey was pleasant, easy and smooth.
You only need to leave it to her and she will find the right moments and postures to catch incredible and fun memories of you and your beloved ones. With her unique style you will be amazed by the result!!"

Wondering how to get your family
“photo ready” or unsure what to wear?
My approach is super helpful - we handle all the planning together, so you can relax and enjoy the experience.
-
What to wear? We’ll explore your wardrobes and select outfits that feel authentic and timeless.
-
How you'd like to be photographed? We’ll discuss your vision and style to ensure your portraits truly reflect your family’s personality.
-
Who will be in the photos? We’ll clarify that together, making sure everyone you want is included and all combinations.
-
How you would like to enjoy your photographs? Whether you love wall art, albums, or both, we’ll plan the perfect way to showcase your memories.
-
All of this means no homework for you !
There’s no need for stress. We’ll address every detail before the camera clicks, so the day feels relaxed, natural, and fun. We then bring your family together to connect and have a relaxed, carefree and fun photoshoot experience.
Why not make a day (dinner or ice cream out afterwards) of it and fully embrace those precious moments of connection?
