Mother’s Day Mini Sessions 2025

A Mother's Day to Remember: Mini Sessions at the Beach and in Studio

This Mother's Day was nothing short of magical.

Over two beautiful weekends, I welcomed families into two very different but equally special spaces—a breezy coastal beach and my warm, light-filled Sydney studio. Both offered something unique for each mother and family to treasure, and honestly? I still can’t decide which location stole my heart.

There’s just something about the salty air, the golden light, and little feet dancing in the sand that makes beach photography sessions feel so free and full of life. But then again, the studio gave us space to slow down, breathe, and capture the quiet intimacy of motherhood in a calm and cosy setting. Each backdrop gave its own texture and tenderness to the moments we captured, and I’m beyond grateful to have had both options available.

Families, Love & So Many Beautiful Moments

From babies bundled in their mama’s arms, to wild-hearted toddlers on the move, every family brought their own energy and magic. What touched me most was seeing so many repeat clients return—mums who had booked in with me before, but this time chose to gift themselves a little moment in the spotlight. Whether it was a maternity milestone, a first Mother’s Day, or simply a chance to get in the frame with their children, every session reminded me why I do this.

(If you’ve ever wondered why you should be in the frame too, this blog post will remind you just how meaningful it can be.)

Why Mini Sessions Are So Special

Motherhood mini sessions are a gentle, bite-sized way to celebrate you and the ones you love. With 20–40 minute sessions, we keep things simple, heartfelt and low-pressure—perfect for little ones with short attention spans and for mums who just want something beautiful and easy. You can read more about what to expect in my mini session guide if you’re curious for next time.

And yes, there will be a next time—because these Mother’s Day sessions were such a hit, I’ll absolutely be offering more throughout the year.

To every mum, every family, and every tiny giggle that echoed through the lens—thank you. You made this season unforgettable.


With love, always—
