Sunshine Coast Photographer
Transforming your celebrations, connections, and cherished moments into timeless images.
Photography is way more than just pretty pictures. A photo has this magical ability to stir up emotions tied to a precious moment. It's like a time machine that brings back the happiness and those priceless memories that hold a special place in your heart.
As a Sunshine Coast photographer I completely understand if you're a bit camera-shy; in fact, most of my clients are just like you—everyday people who appreciate genuine moments. However, deep down, you desire those beautiful wedding images or those memorable family snapshots, whether it's capturing your kids during their adorable young phase or those special moments when your family comes together for a big reunion or your wedding day.
You know what really makes a difference? Finding a photographer whose creative style vibes with your personality. That's the magic formula to getting photos that truly resonate with you.
My photography style – it's all about keeping things real, vibrant, and full of life. Think natural, colourful, and boldly modern, all wrapped up in a timeless package. I'm all about capturing the entire spectrum of emotions – the love, the joy, the giggles, and those oh-so-tender moments that make your heart melt.

“You can stop your search for your wedding photographer. Lou is the only person you need behind the camera for your big day!! Both my husband and I aren't the most confident getting our photos taken but Lou made us feel so comfortable and relaxed where we were able to have so much fun. "
