Natural Lights Photography – Capturing Connection, Love, and Light
At Natural Lights Photography, we believe the most powerful moments are found in the in-between – the shared glance, the laughter that spills out unexpectedly, the quiet hand-holds and wild, messy hugs. Specialising in family portraiture, we create beautiful, heartfelt images that reflect the soul of your family: authentic, imperfect, and full of love.
Based across the Central Coast and Newcastle, Natural Lights Photography offers relaxed, outdoor sessions where families can be themselves—run barefoot through the grass, cuddle up on a picnic rug, or share a joke that only your family understands. We work with natural light to capture timeless, emotion-filled portraits that you’ll treasure for generations.
Our approach is warm and easygoing, perfect for kids, camera-shy parents, and those who just want to make memories together without the stress. With a strong focus on storytelling, every session is a celebration of connection and the unique bond your family shares.
Whether you’re marking a milestone, gathering the extended clan, or simply freezing a beautiful moment in time, Natural Lights Photography is here to honour your story—through light, love, and lens.
Let’s create something magical, together.

Zen Life Photography
I’m a newborn, maternity, and family photographer based in Newcastle, Australia. Whether you’re after a studio or sunset maternity session, a newborn shoot, a relaxed family session outdoors or in-studio, a fun sitter or cake smash shoot for a first birthday—I’ve got you covered. I also love creating themed shoots for special occasions like Mother’s Day and Christmas, offering unique setups to mark the moment.
Since starting my business in 2009, I’ve been lucky enough to receive international awards for my work in newborn photography. I truly feel blessed to do what I love every day and am always learning, growing, and finding new ways to create beautiful imagery.
My cosy studio is a separate space from my home, filled with gorgeous textured props, outfits, and everything needed for your session. If you prefer a simple lifestyle look, that’s available too.
I’m known for my attention to detail, patience, and gentle approach—especially when working with newborns. Your baby’s safety is always my top priority, and I treat each little one as if they were my own.
Zen Life Photography proudly services Newcastle, Maitland, Lake Macquarie, and the Hunter Valley. I’d love to help you capture your family’s story.
