ABOUT

Kelsie Waller, Brisbane photographer, smiling in an orange dress among red bougainvillea

I

began my career out in the world, as a travel photographer, over a decade ago. I have an immense love for the natural world and a never-ending pull to explore and adventure and to find out what's around the next corner.

I bring that background into my portraiture and wedding photography in a way that stitches the world around us together with the intimacy and rawness of the enduring moments of life.

I also have a background in fine art - oil, acrylic and watercolour painting and an eye for both the creative and beautiful.

I want to make art that reminds us what it is to be human - the love, the joy, the vulnerability, the beauty of it all.

ART THAT REMINDS US WHAT IT IS TO BE HUMAN - THE LOVE, THE JOY, THE VULNERABILITY.

INTIMATE &
RAW

I have the privilege of capturing adventurous and authentic couples and families as they celebrate the big moments of engagements, marriage and birth, along with quiet, small moments of everyday life. I have a particular love for the journey of motherhood: maternity sessions, newborn sessions and capturing your new baby’s first year. I'm a strong believer that you don't need a reason to have a photo session - because this is life, right here and now, and this is it.

Some moments I'll gently guide, most I'll simply let unfold - so your photos are beautiful, and still unmistakably you.

My intention is to create an impeccable client experience; a co-creative process of adventure and beauty. Extraordinary artisan work that fully expresses who you authentically are.

THE EXPERIENCE

What sets me apart

You can't get this wrong

Nervous about the camera, or worried your little one won't play along? A toddler who wants nothing to do with it, a feed right in the middle of golden hour, a nappy explosion - none of it is a problem. We work with however you turn up, and I'll gently guide you the whole way. Trust me, I've got you.

An artist's eye

I also paint - oil, acrylic and watercolour - and I see every frame the same way: shadow and light, the long grass at golden hour, the quiet of a dim room at home with your newborn.

You'll never wonder what's next

From your first enquiry, you'll know exactly what's happening and when: your date, what to wear, how to prepare, and when your gallery is on its way. Clear, warm communication, so all you have to do is enjoy it.

Real moments, beautifully kept

No props, no complicated poses. Just skin-on-skin, feeds, tiny fingers and the way you look at each other. Every session comes with a professionally edited gallery of 100+ images.
