My pricing information
Kiama, Berry, Shoalhaven Family photographer

The nitty gritty

This isn’t about stiff poses or perfect smiles. It’s about documenting your family just as you are. When you book with me, you get more than photos. You get an experience that’s relaxed, real, and focused on connection.

I offer flexible payment plans on all my collections. Just ask, and we’ll find an option that fits your family and your budget.

Why you’re really here

I’m guessing you’re not here just to tick ‘family photos’ off the list. You’re here because something in you knows how quickly life shifts and if you are anything like me, you know just how foggy a memory can become. One day the kids are curling up in your lap, the next they’re racing off ahead of you (usually at the shops towards something you’d never actually want them to have!). You’ve felt that tug to stop and take it in, to hold on tight and keep a little piece of it safe.

That’s what portraits do.

They freeze a moment. Not just a smile, but they bottle up the way their nose scrunches too or the way their hand fits into yours, a soft curl of hair or the tiny boots they wore. They give you something real to hold onto when the days feel like a blur.

Living with memory loss, I cannot tell you enough how much value I see in photographs. IYears from now, you wont remember the cost, but you’ll have the memories held safely in your portraits. And if it helps, all of my collections can be split into payment plans, just let me know and we will work out something that feels right for you.

The Mother

Newborn + Maternity bundle

Let's honour you and the journey you've made to become a mother.   No need for awkward posing or popping your baby in a flower pot. We begin with a maternity session and then a newborn session once your baby has arrived. 

I focus on natural prompting and baby led sessions. We can have fun and get some stunning images to remember this time. Immediate families and siblings are welcome and encouraged for these sessions. Oh how I wish I had some special photos of my son while my daughter was still in my belly, one of my biggest regrets.

Includes: 

+ One maternity session and one newborn session
+ 15 hand-edited digital images from each shoot (30 images total with the option to upgrade to full galleries for $275)
+ Full viewing gallery so you can choose your favourites
+ Access to my professional print store

my Philosophy

The names of my pricing collections aren’t just labels. They’re deeply personal. Each one is inspired by a place that has shaped who I am, both as a person and a photographer. Every location tells a story of love, connection and belonging. I’m proud to honour these places by using their traditional names.

From the bottle trees of Roma, where my family’s roots run deep, to the sand dunes of K’gari where my partner proposed, to Yuin Country on the NSW South  Coast where I spent my summers and now raise my own kids, these landscapes are part of me. They’re woven into everything I create.

These places are the heart of my branding. The earthy tones, wild beauty and grounded sense of connection they hold guide how I approach every session. They remind me to slow down, tune in and capture what matters.

I hope the spirit of these places resonates with you too and that together we’ll create something real, honest and uniquely yours.

Had the best time this afternoon with Laani, had never met her yet felt so comfortable doing the whole shoot with her! She was helpful in so many ways great at guiding for photos but also great to have a chat with 100% recommend for anyone who’s up for mother daughter photos (or family in general!) 

Lizzie gray

She really made it special for me to have memories with my daughter

We had such a great experience with Laani! The photos turned out beautifully. Highly recommend her to any family wanting to capture special memories

Emily reynolds

She made the whole session feel easy and fun, especially with the kids. 

Super personable and kind. We had a great time with her during our sunrise shoot and her sneak peek photos are stunning. She has a great talent.

Jemma Burke

Laani is such a delight!

What they said

Where do you shoot? +

I cover the coast from Wollongong down to Bendalong and inland to Kangaroo Valley and the Southern Highlands. Beach, bush or farm, I’m in!

My pre-session guide has all my favourite spots to shoot at, but I also know some places are truly special to you. If you have a spot in mind, let’s chat and see what works. If you’re outside this zone, no worries, I’m always up for an adventure. A small travel fee may apply to cover my time.

What if we’re awkward… or the kids go wild?+

Perfect!! That's exactly how it should be. Everyone feels awkward in front of the camera at first and kids? They’re meant to be wild. I’ll guide you with easy prompts, we’ll play some games, have a laugh and I’ll make sure you don’t look like a confused meerkat.

I want your kids to run, snack, explore and just be themselves. I’ll gently step in when needed, but mostly I’m there to capture the magic in the chaos. Snacks are welcome too, just maybe steer clear of raspberry on Nanna’s hand-knitted cardigan!

What should we wear? +

Wear what feels like you, but if you want the best results, timeless always wins. My editing style loves neutrals, earthy tones and texture. Think linen, chunky knits or even corduroy.

Skip the smart watches, bulky items in pockets and sunnies (unless they are a vibe). My pre-session guide includes styling tips to make it easy and your session fee also covers optional use of my client wardrobe. I also encourage you to send me a quick photo of everyone’s outfits together before the session, so we have time to make any adjustments if needed.

What if the weather is bad? +

Some of my favourite sessions have been in the rain, with puddle jumping and wind in your hair making the best memories. But if the weather is truly awful (like wild winds or heavy rain), I will make the call to reschedule. For sunrise sessions, I will confirm the night before and for afternoon shoots, I will decide that morning. Weekends do book up quickly, so a little flexibility helps, but I will always do my best to find the next date that works for us both.
