Optional Gallery Upgrades
My storyteller sessions are available for outdoor sunset and sunrise sessions for families, motherhood, couples, maternity and newborns, or you can also choose to have your session at home or elsewhere if you wish.
These sessions are relaxed, easy and so much fun, we will change the scenes and backdrops within the same location, have outfit changes and also breaks within the session, in case you little one needs a drink, snack or a nappy change.
After your session I will supply your watermarked selection gallery of approximately 100 images for you within 2 weeks for you to choose your favourites and you can then choose to upgrade your package afterwards if you would like to

About my sessions..
I have chosen Tasha to take our family photos for two years now, capturing these precious moments in time as our family changes and grows. Tasha has taken our photos with gorgeous morning light and even managed to capture our very slow-to-warm toddler smiling in photos. She made us feel so comfortable and was able to guide us to create authentic candid moments that I will cherish forever. I can't recommend her enough. Thank you Tasha!!

Tasha is fantastic - she is so warm and instantly made us feel comfortable doing something we’re both usually very uncomfortable with (posing for photos). She had the patience of a saint with our two boys and she really took the time to make sure our photos captured this special time in our lives!
Thank you, Tasha!

I highly recommend Tasha from Spindrift Stories as a photographer. She has taken photos of our family on two seperate occasions including our wedding day. We couldn't be happier with the results. Tasha was flexible and easy to work with, always willing to go above and beyond to capture the perfect shot. She always manages to get beautiful shots of our two small children who are never in the mood for photos. Tasha truly has a gift for capturing the magic in special moments and we feel very lucky to have wor

Love using Tasha from Spindrift as our family photographer. Tasha makes us all feel so comfortable and is amazing with kids. We did newborn photos with our girl and booked in again a year later when she turned 1. Tasha knows the best time with lightning and takes the most incredible and natural family photos. Our daughter was being a little camera shy and Tasha was able to play with her to make her laugh. We will continue using her every year for our family photos!

I am a caring mum to an adventurous 7 year-old boy, and I'm also lucky enough to have many nieces and nephews ranging from 5 months old to 15 years, so I’ve got plenty of experience (and endless patience) with kids of all ages.
I don’t take myself too seriously and am always up for a laugh or a goofy joke to help your little ones relax into the session. Alongside the fun and energy and plenty of adventure, I also bring the calm, gentle presence, especially helpful for kids who might feel a bit unsure about the idea of having their photo taken. I love working with children and I always let them lead the way, so they feel safe, seen, and comfortable and will always tailor the session to your children's needs.
With many years of experience as a full-time professional photographer, and a lifetime of creativity and passion for storytelling, this is so much more than a job for me. It’s my way of life. From studying Fine Arts at university to now crafting heartfelt galleries for families, every chapter of my life has led me here, to the job I feel I was always meant to do...
My clients love their sessions and the memories I capture. Don't take my word for it, check out the 70+ 5 star google reviews from my happy clients.
I prepare for each of my sessions as though its for my own family, from helping you choose the best location and outfits, to navigating the weather and tides to ensure that the conditions for your session are just right for your family.
I really care so deeply about my clients, many of whom now feel like old friends, with their kids remembering me as I photograph their family again, year after year.

If you are one of my lovely return clients, I also offer a $60 discount on my Storyteller Packages if you book a session within 2 years of your last session.
Frequently Asked Questions
If it rains or is bad weather, we will of course, postpone, but I like to wait if possible to the day of the session before making the final call, as often the weather will turn out amazing, and its often after rain or storms that we get the most magical pink skies, so its always worth waiting until the day to make the final call. I want your photos to be beautiful just as you do, so we will never go ahead if the weather is not suitable.
I know that getting your images back is so exciting, so I aim to have a little preview to you within week your fully edited gallery of images within 3 weeks.
Outfits andf styling is such a personal thing, and the most important thing is to wear something that makes you and your family feel beautiful and comfortable. To get the best out of your session and images, I recommend that you choose a colour palette that suits your style. I can provide more detailed guidance on this when you book.
If you or I are unwell, we will of course postpone the session. I am a mum, so I totally understand that kids get sick and we will of course postpone in this case. I just ask that you give me as much notice as possible if your kids are unwell, so I can fill your space with someone from my waiting list.
Your payment will automatically be broken into two parts, your deposit of 50% due on booking and your remaining 50% payment due 5 days prior to your session date. If you would like a payment plan broken into monthly payments or over a longer period, please mention when booking and I would be delighted to help you make booking payments manageable
