AN AFTERNOON AT THE LAKE

As a mum, I feel how quickly everything changes. One version of them barely lasts before it shifts into the next, and all I ever want is to slow it down, just for a moment. I find myself going back to photos to relive those early days, the little details that are so easy to forget, and wishing I had more of me in them too.

These sessions are a simple way to pause, whether it’s for your own family or as a thoughtful, lasting gift this Mother’s Day.

This year, sessions will be held along Lake Illawarra, with a few ways to experience them. You can choose a short and simple Mini Day, a relaxed sunset session, or a Signature Lifestyle session for those wanting more time and space.

All sessions can be booked for yourself or gifted as a digital voucher. Bookings close Sunday, 10th May.

Sounds good, I'm Ready

HELLO!

I'M THIA

I'm a photographer based in Wollongong, NSW. I have been shooting since 2011 and I am passionate about capturing timeless photographs of people.

To me, photography is about connection. Whether it's capturing the connection between loved ones, creating images to connect with future generations or capturing images that will speak in a very personal way or photographs that help you reconnect with yourself.

We are the perfect match if you have a sense of adventure, aspire to create meaningful memories and love artful documentation of those memories.

General Information

Maximum of 2 adults per session slot.
Gift vouchers are delivered digitally and can be gifted or used for your own family.
I will gently guide you throughout the session with natural, relaxed posing so nothing feels forced or uncomfortable. Sessions are designed to feel relaxed and child-led. In shorter sessions, image variety depends on how your little one settles on the day. If you’d prefer more time and space to ease in, the Signature Lifestyle session offers a slower, more flexible experience.
Your images will be delivered via a private online gallery, where you can view and select your included images.
The exact location will be sent to you once your session is confirmed.
A non-refundable payment is required to secure your session. Due to the limited nature of these sessions, reschedules are not guaranteed. In the case of unsuitable weather, sessions will be rescheduled.
Your gallery will include a curated selection of images, with the option to purchase additional images ($20 each) or upgrade to the full gallery ($200).
