Everyone has a story worth telling

  • “Many stories matter. Stories have been used to dispossess and to malign. But stories can also be used to empower, and to humanize. Stories can break the dignity of a people. But stories can also repair that broken dignity.”

    Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

  • "I’m writing my story so that others might see fragments of themselves."

    Lena Waithe

  • "Telling your story is touching. It sets you free."

    Francesca Lia Block

  • "Story, as it turns out, was crucial to our evolution -- more so than opposable thumbs. Opposable thumbs let us hang on. story told us what to hang on to.”

    Lisa Cron

Picture yourself sitting with your grandchildren, retelling stories from your life…

Recollection photography involves recording those memories and placing them in a visual and audible time capsule, which can be shared with your loved ones, even when they can’t sit there with you. Put simply, your incredible life stories are worthy of being recalled.

Recollection Photography is a type of narrative portraiture that uses photography as a visual medium and an audio recording of the story you want to share.

In your Recollection portrait experience, you can choose two options:

~ A session that includes an album - containing 20 images of your choice, bound in a high-quality fabric or leather (to your choosing) album, and an embedded sound recording in your book.

~ A session for the simple yet polished framed 13x19 image (framed item is larger than image) with an audio recording embedded into the frame border.

Additional framed images, 13x19 or 8x11, are available as add-ons to accompany your album; create a gallery wall or gift to family members. You can choose these images from your gallery. An album can also be purchased as an add-on or additional to the main album, at the same or smaller size.

Personalised from beginning to end, I will walk you through every step, ensuring you enjoy a comfortable and unique photograph experience in my Bankstown or Rosebery studio. With light refreshments and a relaxed session, I will put you and your stories in the spotlight.

I am honoured to bestow your family this precious and long-lasting gift of memories.

Due to the personalised and bespoke nature of this experience, I encourage only children under 12 months of age and adults to attend your session - however, I am always open for discussion depending on the story you wish to convey, please contact me to discuss further.

As my bespoke photography is so personalised, I operate by appointment only, on either one Wednesday or Sunday per month. This allows me to give your experience my absolute attention and ensures you receive quality products.

Some examples of stories I record include but are not limited to are:

  • How you and your partner met

  • Your Wedding Day

  • Matrescence story

  • Birth story

  • Your personal business story

  • A decade in your life experience

  • Injury/illness - its process and recovery

  • End-of-life reflections

  • Bereavement stories, sharing about your lost loved one (with photos of the things that connect you to them)

  • Travel stories

  • Life lessons learnt stories

    Please peruse my blog section, which covers many FAQs and further specific details of the experience, ideas, and the importance of preserving different memories.

I am honoured to document your stories in a Recollection session - print and audio form.

And create an environment where you can relax and enjoy a uniquely personal experience in my boutique studio.
