Poppy Peterson Photography

Your baby, your family, your loved ones, your face.. and me! My happy place is when my camera is in my hand - I adore capturing pure, genuine moments of family and taking time to create a sense of ease with my clients.Natural moments occur, they can't be created - I pride myself on my patience and an open schedule (a quality my baby and toddler have schooled me in thoroughly). I use natural light and prefer a minimalist style (I don't own a single bucket or basket for my newborns!) - less is more. I love leaving a shoot knowing we captured "that" shot - I have had parent's fall asleep during newborn sessions as it is so calm (and let's face it, they are exhausted!) and even the most awkward of couples and families relax and forget I am pointing a giant black camera at them.. together we find our sweet spot and capture wonderful images! I am genuinely humbled by the process of sharing the time with who is in front of my lens and I thank my lucky stars I get to do so.I am based in Shell Cove, NSW and generally stick to the South Coast but happily go on road and travel - I shoot on location, in your home along with my mobile studio or in my home studio. I aim to make things as easy and relaxed for my clients as possible.Please feel free to drop me a line - I would love to hear from you and hopefully find you in front of my lens in the not too distant future.
