WIFE, MOTHER,

PHOTOGRAPHER

& BUSINESS OWNER

 hey there

I’m GILL

I am Wife, Mother, Sister and Daughter. All of these roles have filled my creativity over the last decade and brought me to where I am today. I have been photographing families for over 11 years now and I am totally in love with freezing time for others, but most importantly capturing the small moments and details between loved ones from a third party view. This allows yourself to truly see the beauty of the gorgeous family you have created!

Photography has been in my life since I could walk, having great mentors in my own family, film photography pulled me right in. There was something so homely about spending hours in a dark room as a teenager, it was my retreat.

Over time, technology improved, my skills grew and my style ebbed and flowed. To today, a well experienced family photographer who long ago noticed the small moments in between poses and I knew this is where my soul was. Then Soulful Light Images was born leaving my old brand behind. I broke away from the rules of ‘posed’ newborn photography and pushed boundaries. I knew that if I was a Mother one day, these were the moments I wanted to freeze, not a dorky smile at the camera I would never print for display.

Fast forward to 2021 and I became a mother of my own little light, Zenith, my highest peak. I felt every emotion I have witnessed and captured for others, for myself, finally.

I am so incredibly honoured to be chosen by so many families to update their photos each year and seeing your family grow and evolve is truly beautiful. My clients are not just clients, they become extended family in which we share our our lives and spend time laughing and chatting, making the entire process so relaxed and enjoyable that even Dad’s keep signing up for more shoots!

 I can’t imagine doing anything else

I was a photographer well before I was a mother and I can’t imagine my life without beautiful photographs of my family. I invest in professional photography myself as I fully believe in it’s worth. It is greater than anything else of value as it is priceless. Memories are all we leave behind. Not only do I believe in the importance of family photography I fully invest in it personally for my own family.

I have the skills to take photos on a timer, sure, but it isn’t going to capture genuine moments & document us as a family. I fully support and trust in my photographers to create their own art out of my family. We are all incredibly different and it’s important to book a photographer who’s work speaks to you, above their what their prices are.

You cannot put a price on memories.

My son has an extensive portfolio, not just for my own memories but I want his life, our life, captured for future generations to come. And this is what I have been doing for other families the past decade. Documenting life.
