Award-winning Newborn, children and family photographer, Hobart.

 

My philosophy

Every photograph tells a story — a moment frozen in time, filled with emotion, connection, and meaning.

For me, photography isn’t just about creating beautiful images; it’s about capturing the heartbeat of a memory, the fleeting expressions, and the subtle details that make your story uniquely yours.

Whether I’m photographing the delicate features of a newborn, the laughter of children, the bond of a family, or the joy of a wedding day, my goal is always the same — to create timeless images that you will treasure for a lifetime.

Rachel

We did our newborn photography session with Michael, and he is the best of the best! Specially when it comes to leaving your few days old bub with someone else, even just for a few hours — you can truly trust him. Michael is very experienced and clearly knows what he’s doing



Danu

I first met Michael in 2020 when he captured my little family with our first born daughter Hannah. This meant the world to us, as she was born premature. At three months old, she was still a tiny tot. Michael did not disappoint; he was gentle and caring, ensuring we had every aspect to cherish for life. We returned this year with our son Charlie, and we will always choose Michael, as once again, he amazed us. These photographs are gorgeous, and we are forever grateful. Michael’s passion for his work is evident, as he provides beautiful memories for families to cherish forever. Warm regards, Emily. We highly recommend.
