Moments that hold still
Life keeps moving on.
Photos help us to slow.
They take us back to how it felt and help us to feel now.
Photos are not an indulgence in nostalgia, rather they urge us to see here,
the beauty that has been existing,
all along in this present moment.

LOVE NOTES
What FAMILIES HAVE TO SAY
As a father, I was hesitant to have anyone else in the room while Telicia gave birth. After some convincing, I am so glad we decided to have Michelle capture the moments of Daphne’s birth. Having a birth photographer there to document every moment allowed me to be fully present with Telicia while knowing that these memories were being captured for us.
Michelle’s professionalism and sensitivity were remarkable - she blended into the background yet captured every emotion. Looking through the photos afterwards was like reliving every moment.
Birth photography isn't just about pictures. It's about capturing the journey, the strength, and the beauty of bringing a new life into this world. For any father-to-be, I would highly recommend considering a birth photographer like Michelle. You won’t regret it.
Originally I was apprehensive to have a birth photographer, but after some complications in my pregnancy, I decided that I wanted someone there to capture the beautiful moment our fourth child entered the world.
Michelle from Paper Planes Photography was incredible and captured so many sweet moments I would never have seen. She was respectful, understanding, professional and seamless in her execution and the photos are just so precious. We will treasure them forever!
Michelle is incredible!! She took our proposal photos and accommodated our every need. It was all organised last minute, and Michelle ended up cutting her personal commitments short in order to accommodate us. The photos of our engagement are amazing and were worth capturing this precious moment in our lives for us. Michelle is amazing, her service is amazing and her communication and photography skills are also amazing.
I definitely recommend her 10/10.
Michelle photographed the birth of our beautiful little boy Ollie. As a midwife and first-time mother, I think labour and birth are a beautiful sacred part of a woman’s life which I wanted to capture. Michelle was nothing but amazing! From the first phone call I knew she was who I wanted to be in my birth space. Michelle was so quiet and respectful. I didn’t even know she was there. She was so kind to my partner who was clearly very nervous and helped him put up fairy lighting etc. She captured the most beautiful photos I will cherish forever! I’m so grateful! Every time I look at our picture gallery I still see new photos I feel like I’ve never seen before and just cannot believe my partner and I did it! I did it! Even though it didn’t all go to “plan”, I have the photos of what my birth was and I’m so proud! So THANK YOU so much Michelle! I will be forever grateful that I have these memories.
Michelle was absolutely amazing! 10/10 would book another session with her again! She was so kind, welcoming, friendly and professional. She was able to change and adapt the session to suit our four kids with ease. We received our edits faster than we expected and ended up upgrading to the full package because they were all so beautiful. She truly is an amazing photographer and worth every cent!
We recently did our first family photoshoot with Michelle and we couldn't be happier with the experience and the final result. Michelle made all of us feel so comfortable during the shoot and was fantastic with our shy 3 year old. She was a pleasure to work with from the initial enquiry to the delivery of our photos. She captured some beautiful moments that we will cherish for a lifetime. We highly recommend Paper Planes Photography and will definitely work with Michelle again for future family shoots.
Wow wow wow!! So impressed!
Michelle is both incredibly lovely and talented! She carries such a calm presence and simply went with the flow during the newborn shoot. Baby girl was quite fussy at times, yet Michelle maximised every moment and was able to capture precious moments and stunning photos throughout the session. Highly recommend!!
We were blown away with the quality and level of Michelle’s expertise and the beautiful photos we received from Paper Planes Photography.
From start to finish our shoot was fun, we had music and felt comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera thanks to Michelle’s non-intrusive approach. We received our gallery promptly and securely, the process was easy allowing us to choose photos in the privacy of our own home.
I cannot recommend Michelle enough! Our family prints will be special and memorable for years to come!
Michelle from Paper Planes Photography is one talented lady! She photographed our family of 5 and the photos she captured of us with our three active kiddies are incredible. Such beautiful, natural shots that we will keep as memories forever. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Michelle and her photography skills to anyone seeking special family photos!
My wife and I debated the idea of having a photographer in the delivery room with us for a while. It was our first birth and we weren't sure how it was going to go. I can honestly say that we didn’t even realise Michelle was in the room. She was so discreet, yet the photos were so intimate. My wife and I think she did an incredible job and we can't imagine now not having these photos to look back on. It was such a life changing experience, yet it disappears from your memory so quick. We are so glad we have such beautiful photos to help us remember all the incredible moments. We would both highly recommend Michelle's work.
