Get to know me

Hello!

There’s a driving force behind this lens of mine and it all comes back to family.

As a mother of four spirited children and wife to my amazing husband, I love this stage of our lives and the memories created each and every day as a family. I value every second that I get to spend documenting our every day, as mundane and normal as it may seem – in a few years, they will likely be the moments we cherish the most.

My days together are spent on the Gold Coast, either working at home with my husband, chasing our kiddos down the beach or venturing into the beauty of the hinterlands. Having a camera in hand (more often than not) is my creative expression, my preservation of these fleeting days and the family story that I have invested my heart and soul into.

Prior to this season of life with my own children, I worked with others as a Social Worker in Child Protection. My parents embedded in me an open door policy for those in need, our family home being a sanctuary for foster children, many of whom are still a part of our family today. It was a natural progression from there for me to go on and continue this work in a new capacity.

HI, I‘M

BEC

MOTHERHOOD, NEWBORN, FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

full hands, full heart

Let the beauty of what you love be what you do - Rumi

heart work

Your heart expands in ways unknown when working in an industry like Child Protection, when you are required to adhere to a system but your heart aches for more; more hope, more love, more unity. During this time I was the person facilitating contact between children and their biological families, often weeks, months or years would span between these visits and I longed for a way to make these raw, unmade, emotional encounters count for more than the ticking clock. So I did.

From there on I carried my camera, I captured something that went beyond the system, I created prints and photo books of the glimpses of family they had and gifted these to the children I worked with. As you might expect, I was all in from there. Documenting people’s stories consumed me wholeheartedly, the real, authentic, honest moments that when everything else is stripped away will always matter the most.

Fast forward a few years and four children later, I now have a thriving photography business where I get to live in these precious moments with my own family and capture so many others. I am invited into homes to document life, love, and authenticity, including all of the extra parts that make up our stories.

During my sessions, there are no rules, expectations or posing. I simply want to capture you loving on your little ones, hanging out with your people and doing the things you love.

When our children have grown up and moved out, only the stories and memories will remain of our time together under one roof.

I want to create images that show the real story of your family. Imagine having images in your hands that beautifully capture the heart of your home, the connection you all share and the little things that you love?

Sounds pretty great, doesn’t it!

I would be honoured to capture your story.

I also love to educate and mentor other photographers and mamas in business, create presets and give back through my non-profit.

  • Equipping photogs & mamas with resources to run their biz, capture their families & edit their art.

    Come join me over at the Story Keeper to find out more.

  • I sell a range of editing presets that are used and loved by thousands of photographers across the globe. Come check them out at www.storykeeper.co/presets

  • Fuelled by a calling to document stories that often go untold, rife with hope, resilience and strength I launched a project called Frames of Hope. This project is my heart work and my way to give back. The families that I work with have experienced loss, illness or heartbreak and are gifted a professional photo shoot and tangible memories to hold dear through a testing time of their lives.

    All of this, it comes back to family.

    Our stories matter. Read more about my story and how this project evolved.

Client love

  • Not only is Bec an exceptional photographer, but she is friendly, accommodating, great with kids and creates such a beautiful atmosphere during a shoot. Such a treat to have her take photos of our family and I highly recommend her!

  • We had an amazing experience with Bec for our maternity shoot. She was very professional and responded to all emails and questions in a really timely manner. Bec made us feel really confident for the whole photoshoot and it was a very memorable afternoon. We were blown away with the final photos that she sent us, they far surpassed our expectations we are really glad we chose Bec as our photographer and would recommend her to anyone wanting beautiful artistic professional photos to capture special memories.

  • I cannot recommend Bec and her photography services more highly. My husband arranged a surprise photography session for my birthday. Communicating with Bec was super easy, she provided him with all the information he needed to execute the surprise perfectly, and also offered a phone call to answer questions the night before. Whilst not an option we took up, Bec generously provides outfits and styling tips. Bec met us at a location she chose - perfection - and instantly made us all feel at ease. She was natural and relaxed with our three children but somehow still managed to get them all to do exactly what she needed. She captured the most beautiful images, my favourites are the more candid stolen moments, without us knowing. Calm, generous with her time, clearly so experienced and confident - I would not hesitate using Bec again or recommending to anyone, particularly those with small children. Thank you Bec for a wonderful 40th Birthday gift we will treasure forever!
