Hey, I'm so happy you've wandered here!
I'm Jo-anne - a natural light photographer specialising in photographing
children and families who have special needs. And everyone else!
​
As your photographer, I love to hear your story, talk with you, get to know you and capture that connection within your family. Whether you are expecting a new little being, a family milestone, or you simply want to hang some beautiful family portraits in your home - whatever brought you here, I'd love to be part of these beautiful moments with you.
I photograph children doing what they love.
Sensory aware environments and keeping anxiety levels to a minimum for the little ones is my aim and
I understand the special needs involved with working with children and families who have sensory issues, physical limitations and behavioural challenges.
I look for those special personal moments, making sure everyone shines.
I'm pleased to say, I am a Special needs Portrait Photographer covering the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne and beyond.

If you need to reschedule a session, or your family needs to familiarise themselves with me
and the equipment I use, I am happy to help. My goal is to listen and work with you to enable us to photograph your family at a location that is familiar and suitable.

To prepare your child before our session, see our fun and interactive Social Story.
