Gold Coast and Byron Bay Family Photographer

Unposed. Honest. Connected.

I photograph families in the middle of real life, the movement, the mess, the tenderness, the way your kids climb into your lap without thinking.

If you want photos that feel true, not perfectly arranged…

You’re in the right place.

Portrait of Gold Coast Photographer

Hi, Im Kirstie

I’m a family photographer based in Murwillumbah, a little town tucked in the mountains between the Gold Coast and Byron Bay. I’m also a mum to three girls, and that’s shaped the way I photograph families.

I care less about perfection and more about connection. The way your kids move, the way you hold them, the tiny moments that happen when no one’s trying too hard.

My work is relaxed and documentary-led. I’m drawn to movement, emotion, and the honest, everyday stuff that feels like family life, not a performance.

When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me surfing, hunting down vintage furniture to bring back to life, or sitting in the sun with a good book.

If you’re in Murwillumbah, the Gold Coast, Byron Bay, or anywhere in between, I’d love to hear from you. x
