Book Your Session See Recent WorkEvery family has a different energy — I love capturing yours.
No awkward posing. No forced smiles. Just you, being you.
Tell me about your family — who loves cuddles, who never sits still, what makes you all laugh. I'll suggest the perfect location and time of day for your light.
On the day, we'll walk, explore, and play. I'll guide you gently but there's no script. The best moments happen when you forget I'm there.
Within 3 weeks, you'll receive a curated online gallery of 40–80 images. Plus a styling guide for albums, prints, and wall art.
"Jess made us feel so comfortable. The kids were just being themselves — running around, being silly — and somehow she captured the most beautiful, genuine moments. We treasure these photos."
— Emma T., Camberwell
Mum of two, chronic over-packer for beach days, and the person who'll lie flat on the ground to get the shot while your toddler climbs on my back.
I started Sunlit because I believe every family deserves photos that actually look like them — not stiff, staged portraits you'd find in a shopping centre studio. I specialise in golden hour sessions at Melbourne's most beautiful outdoor locations.
When I'm not behind the camera, you'll find me at a playground in Malvern East with a lukewarm coffee, pretending I'm not taking photos of my own kids.
All sessions include pre-session planning, professional editing, and a password-protected online gallery you can share with family.
Perfect for milestones and quick updates
The full experience — room to relax and play
