LOCATION GUIDE
For those who know they want Rad snaps but need a little inspo
Please note, this little guide is here for inspiration only! Every location can look a little different depending on the time of year, time of day and of course what Mother Nature is throwing at us.
The photos you’ll see throughout are a mix of images from professional shoots, little family adventures with my trusty Fuji and when all else fails a few good old iphone snaps!
Pining for you!
All the forest vibes amongst beautiful, tall shady pine trees, light coloured dirt paths and those dreamy little pockets of golden light
Perfect for families big and small with plenty of space for little ones to roam, explore and do their thing.
📍 About 45 minutes from Mandurah
shrub Club
Located right here in Mandurah, Shrub Club is perfect for those who want all the golden, outdoorsy vibes without the big drive.
Think warm golden tones, wild little shrubs and plenty of space for the whole gang to wander.
📍 Mandurah
ROCK ON!
this beach is home to some beautiful big rock formations that make for a seriously stunning backdrop!
The tide can get pretty high here so the second section of the beach (pictured in the bottom row) isn’t always accessible but it’s still super cute regardless.
This spot is especially great for maternity and couple sessions or families with slightly older kiddos. Little toddlers may find navigating their way around the rocks a little tricky so something to keep in mind when choosing your spot!
📍 Mandurah
Dam GIRL!
This dam has the perfect mix of bush and water and in the warmer months, it’s an absolute dream for a little splash!
The top photos were taken in summer but come winter everything transforms into lush, gorgeous greenery as you can see in the last three snaps.
Perfect for families who don’t mind a little adventure!
📍 Waroona
Sandy dandy
This sandy little beach has a medium sized rock wall and some cute little shrubs tucked into the dunes giving us a couple of different backdrops to play with.
Easy to get to, relaxed and super family friendly a good all rounder for the whole gang
📍 Mandurah
Salt n Pepper
This salt lake is a bit of a blank canvas with major coastal desert vibes think wide open spaces, earthy tones and plenty of room for the kiddos to run wild!
A fun one if you’re after something a little different from your usual beach or bush setting.
📍 Warnbro
Go With the flow
Rocks, waterfalls and a tranquil river this spot tucked away in the forest has a bit of everything!
It’s a beautiful choice for couples or families with older kiddos but I wouldn’t recommend it for little ones as the rocks can be a bit tricky to navigate with tiny feet.
If you’re keen to include your little bestie here anyway I’d definitely bring a plus one to help wrangle the kiddos. You’ll be very thankful for that extra set of hands! 🤎
📍 Dwellingup
Old Soul

This little forgotten forest is a bit of an overgrown jungle, but that’s kinda the charm. Think beautiful big trees, a wide open patch of grass and a little stream winding its way through the bushes.
A bit wild, a bit magical and perfect for running wild, exploring and letting the kids do their thing.
