Hello, I'm whitley

your family photographer
In Esperance

star3-b58e99ce-1500

I’ve called Esperance home for over 30 years. I’m a mum to two little girls, a
sweet (and slightly cheeky) dog, and one very missed angel pup. Life right now is
a gentle mix of morning routines, baking something sweet (I never say no to
dessert), walks with my dog, and soaking up the everyday magic of raising a
young family.

My journey with photography started years ago with food — styling cakes and
desserts to capture them before they were devoured. But everything shifted
when I became a mother. I fell in love with documenting the small, fleeting
moments of my daughters’ early years, and in doing so, I found my creative spark
in family photography. There is such beauty in real connection — in capturing
light, love, and the bond that makes each family unique.

I feel incredibly lucky every time someone invites me to preserve their memories.
Whether it’s the quiet wonder of a mother-to-be, the dreamy fog of newborn
days, or the chaos and joy of family life —
I see the light in it all.

My approach

My style is relaxed, warm, and light-filled. I want you to feel at ease and look your best while capturing the connection that makes your family unique. I guide you through the session with a mix of gentle direction and candid moments — especially letting kids be themselves.

I’m here to make the process simple, with styling support and access to my client wardrobe for the whole family – if that’s something you’d find helpful. Most of all, I want you to come away with images that hold real meaning – not just how this season looked, but how it felt.

Let’s work together
