Hey im Blaire,





I'm a wife, mum and photographer based in the beautiful Illawarra, and I have a bit of a soft spot for a good love story.

And when I say love stories, I mean all of them!

The butterflies before you say "I do", the excitement of a little one on the way, those sleepy newborn days and the beautiful chaos of family life. From couples and weddings to maternity, newborns and families, I'm here for it all.

One of my favourite things about being a photographer is getting to know the people in front of my camera. I don't want to just turn up, take a few pretty photos and disappear. I want to hear your stories, have a laugh with you, make you feel completely at ease and capture all those little moments that make you, you.

And if I'm lucky enough, I'd love to be the person you come back to as life changes. From your wedding day to your first baby, and all the wonderful, messy, beautiful chapters that follow.

Because as a mum myself, I know just how quickly life moves. The little things that feel so ordinary today have a funny way of becoming the things we miss the most.

So whether you're celebrating something big or simply wanting to remember life exactly as it is right now, I'd absolutely love to capture it for you.

These are the days you'll wish you could come back to.

Her photography skills are not only artistic but she is able to capture the quiet moments we all miss amongst the chaos and these are the best moments. As someone who is shy in front of the camera Blaire was able to make me feel like myself and natural which is why I am obsessed with my photos
