Hi, I’m Sarah — the photographer behind Unscripted Photography.

Who I Am

I’m a motherhood, newborn and family photographer based in the Hawkesbury, NSW. I’m also a mum, a creative, and someone who truly believes the best photos aren’t forced — they’re felt.

I started Unscripted Photography because I wanted to give families something real to look back on. Not a “perfect pose,” but the little moments that make your life yours — the laughter, the cuddles, the toddler chaos, the sleepy newborn stretches, and the quiet in-between moments that say everything without saying a word.


My Approach

My sessions are calm, relaxed and guided. I’ll give gentle prompts, fix your dress, move your hair and talk you through everything — but I’ll never force you into something that doesn’t feel natural.

With newborns, I work baby-led and safety-first.

With families, I work kid-led and connection-first.

I believe everyone is photogenic when they feel comfortable, seen and supported — and that’s exactly what I create in my sessions.


What I Value

The things that matter most to me are:

• Real connection over perfect posing

• Timeless colours and thoughtful styling

• Safety and comfort for little ones

• A calm, enjoyable experience

• Emotion over perfection

I want you to walk away not only with beautiful photos, but with a memory of the experience itself — something that actually felt good.


Outside of Photography

Outside the studio, you’ll find me:

• Chasing natural light

• Cooking with my family

• Visiting local coffee spots

• Backing up photos with a messy bun and a snack

Family and community are everything to me — and that naturally shows up in my work.

If you’re looking for photos that feel true to your family, I’d love to meet you.
