here to capture your perfectly imperfect moments, no awkward poses, just belly laughs, cosy cuddles, chaos and maybe a little mischief turned into memories you can have forever. 

Messy hair, comfy clothes, no awkward posing—just the real you, having fun and looking fabulous. I’ll capture the imperfect, beautifully genuine moments that make you smile, so your photos feel like you: confident, beautiful and totally you.

Worried about looking “camera ready”?

Not here. Just good vibes, real laughs, funny faces and snack-bribed smiles. It’s like hanging out with a mate who just happens to have a camera.

Anxious you’ll pick the wrong photographer and it’ll all feel stiff and awkward?

Fair enough. The cost of living is wild ($8 for a block of chocolate, seriously?). That’s why I offer payment plans, so you can have gorgeous photos without the financial stress.

Nervous about having to pay upfront in one go?

Real moments. Real connection. Zero stress.

Puffy feet, tired eyes, and those “almost there” vibes — I see you. This session is all about celebrating the real you: glowing, growing, and rocking those last weeks like the queen you are. Think cozy moments, belly hugs, and plenty of laughs (because pregnancy cravings are serious business). No pressure, good vibes, and memories you’ll treasure forever.

Let’s be real: your kids probably won’t sit still — and that’s exactly what I love. We’ll skip the “everyone look here” and dive straight into tickle fights, muddy feet, messy hair and all the real-life chaos that makes your family yours. Because perfect is boring, and the good stuff? It’s in the wild hugs, cheeky grins, and snack breaks mid-session. Come as you are — I’ll bring the camera, you bring the beautiful chaos.

1. Let's Chat!

You tell me who’s bribable, who’s dramatic & all the good stuff. We lock in a date, a vibe and a location that’s anything but ordinary. I’ll provide an outfit and location guide and answer any questions you might have. 

2. Your Session Date!

You rock up, do your thing, and try not to notice me lurking like a ninja with a camera. No awkward “say cheese” — just all the real, messy, hilarious moments that actually tell your story.

3. The Magic!

I tidy up blinks and awkward moments, but keep all the silly smiles, goofy faces, and those sweet little quirks that make your family so you. The result? A gallery that’s full of love, laughs, and plenty of heart.

In-Home Sessions

"I can't get over my photos, thank you sooooo  much!  Also, the crochet dress... SOMETHING ELSE!  I had to pull up in a parking lot I was so excited to view them! 

"Girl they are amazing!!!!! Thank you so much!  I've had so many people asking who did my photos, I've recommended you to over 10 people now!

"Oh my god. I love them!!!!! The quality is like insane, I feel so beautiful in them"

Little Love Notes

Perfect? OVERRATED. Let the kids run wild. Let your hair do its thing and let’s make magic out of the mess. 

Why roll with me (and my camera)

Chaos? I thrive on it. Your kids don’t have to sit still or smile on cue. In fact, I’d rather they didn’t. Their real unfiltered selves – that’s the stuff I love to capture. 

Don’t wait until it’s too late. I learnt the hard way how fast time slips through your fingers. Photos aren’t just images – they’re stories, the love, the laughter frozen in time – ready to remind you of what really matters.

Hey, I'm Shikiara

Creative heart behind Jirntu Photography. Clumsy by nature, country music in my ears, and forever stuck choosing between two brunch spots (classic indecisive Libra things). I am also a proud mum of three. When I’m not taking photos or running around after my kids, you’ll find me singing along to Luke Combes, overthinking life decisions or dreaming of how to make a bigger impact through storytelling & community.

Your family’s hype woman behind the lens

My kid refuses to cooperate. Help?+

Challenge accepted. Snacks, jokes, silly faces, and maybe a dance break — I’ve got tricks for days.

What if the weather throws a tantrum?+

Rain check! We’ll reschedule or get creative indoors. No soggy shoes allowed.

What do we wear? +

Keep it cozy, comfy, and coordinated — soft neutrals, earthy vibes, and textures that feel like a warm hug. I will send through an outfit guide once you’ve booked, I’ve also got a client wardrobe packed with gorgeous pieces you can borrow, so no last-minute shopping panic needed!

How many photos will we receive? +

This depends on the package you book – all galleries can be upgraded if you can’t choose the allocated number of images for the package you've initially chosen.

Can we request specific shots or poses? +

I absolutely welcome client ideas and requests – no idea is too silly. Let’s get creative.

Do you require a deposit?+

Yep, a little love upfront to secure your date.

Do you travel? +

Wanderlust is my middle name - take me anywhere to tell your story.

What’s your cancellation policy? +

Life is unpredictable- kids get sick, hubby gets called into work – I totally get it and am super flexible. If you provide 24 hours’ notice to reschedule your session, I am happy to transfer your booking and deposit to a different date.

Sure, you could wait — but kids get bigger, curls get straighter, and gap-toothed grins turn into teenage eye rolls faster than you think. Let’s capture the muddy feet, belly laughs, and beautiful chaos now — before “someday” becomes “too late.”
