about me

Hello, I’m Peta!

 

The face behind the camera, capturing the sweetest newborn and family moments since I began my photography journey back in 2009. In that 14+ years I’ve photographed 100s of newborns giving me a lot of hands-on experience handling little ones.⁠ In addition to all that experience, you can feel confident as a new parent knowing that I am fully vaccinated and insured.

 

I’m typically fueled by tea and chocolate. I’m a true Virgo who loves country tunes and traveling, and I’ve recently rediscovered my love for reading.⁠

 

From the moment my dad placed a camera in my hands during high school, I knew I had found my calling. 

 

Describing my style as soft, timeless, and classic is a nod to my belief that every moment with a newborn is precious and deserving of a timeless touch. Bringing my quiet and calm nature into each session has become my secret ingredient—families and babies respond to this soothing presence, allowing us to capture those heartwarming connections that make each photograph a work of art.

 

Gentleness and baby safety are my unwavering principles. One of my greatest joys is seeing families return, each time with a new addition, and witnessing their journey as they grow together.

 

I would love to invite you to my creative space. My studio is located in Honeywood just 25 minutes from Hobart surrounded by nature and beauty; the perfect place to enjoy these first moments with your newborn.
