I’m Hilary, a Sydney-based family and portrait photographer with a love for capturing authentic, joy-filled moments. Whether it’s the quiet glance between parents, the laughter of children at play, or the little details that often go unnoticed, my passion lies in telling stories through natural, timeless photography.

​

Originally from Southend-on-Sea in England, my journey with photography began more than 20 years ago. From studying Media Studies and discovering the magic of black-and-white film in the darkroom, to photographing landscapes during my travels, photography has always been at the heart of how I see the world. Over time, I found my true calling in family and portrait photography, especially after the arrival of my niece and nephew, who inspired me to capture the beauty of childhood in its purest form.

​

Today, I specialise in:

​

• Family photography – natural, playful sessions outdoors or at home

• Portraits – from personal portraits to professional headshots

• Maternity & newborn photography – gentle, emotive memories of life’s milestones

• Engagement photography – capturing the love and connection between couples

• Small, intimate weddings – documenting meaningful celebrations with warmth and care

 

My style is relaxed and unobtrusive, focusing on real connections rather than posed perfection. I want you to feel comfortable, enjoy the experience, and walk away with photographs that truly reflect you and your loved ones.

If you’re looking to update your portraits, celebrate a milestone, or create lasting family memories, I’d love to hear from you.
