Memories Tenderly Held

Capturing your family authentically in sun-drenched, wild landscapes or the intimacy of your own home in photos and video

sydney-family-photographer — Hey, I’m Vanessa
Family, maternity, newborn, dance photographer and family filmmaker based in Sydney.
Photos are not just pictures, they hold precious memories and tell stories. I seek to capture moments that are real and meaningful to you. Images that speak to you when you look at them, that make you feel something and bring you hope. The details and stages of your life matter and are worth celebrating and expressing through beautiful works of art.
This is a self portrait of my daughter and I that speaks so much to me when I look at it. It reminds me of my worth. It shows me a layer of myself that is always there, even when I don’t feel it. It reminds me of the precious gift and responsibility it is to be a mother and to be looked up to.
