Emily is based on the Sunshine Coast.
Packages from $500-$1000

Hi, I’m Emily, Mama of 7 & the heart behind Natural Oak Photography. I'm Based on The Sunshine Coast, QLD. What started as a way to provide for my family on my own in 2020 has grown into a full, thriving photography business over the past five years, built around connection, creativity, and an incredible community of families I’m so grateful for. I’m a mum of seven, living in the beautiful chaos of everyday life and that’s exactly what inspires my work. I understand how fleeting these seasons are, which is why I’m so passionate about capturing moments in a way that feels real, relaxed, and true to you. My style is soft, natural, and emotive, drawing on the beauty of light, connection, and coastal living. I’ll gently guide you through your session so you feel comfortable and at ease no stiff posing, just genuine moments you’ll actually want to remember. From intimate milestones like engagements and pregnancy announcements to family sessions, extended family sessions, elopements, small weddings, and large-scale experiences like my much-loved “Santa by the Surf,” everything I create is centred around giving you more than just photos it’s about the experience, the feeling, being spoilt and the memories that last. Natural Oak Photography is more than a business to me. It’s a way to provide for my family, express my creativity, and give my clients something truly meaningful. Grateful, growing, and so excited to capture your story. 🤍
“Our family has now done a couple of wonderful photoshoots with Natural Oak Photography, and both experiences have been outstanding. The first was a special Mother’s Day gift for my wife. It was a beautiful on-location session at Coolum Beach. Emily is an incredibly talented photographer who truly went above and beyond. She made us all feel relaxed and comfortable right away, guided us perfectly to capture genuine moments, and delivered stunning photos that now proudly hang on our walls.”

“We have had 3 shoots with Em including a maternity and each of our kids as newborns, and safe to say Em makes us feel super comfortable, creating absolute magic for our photos. We have also had our santa photos, and will definitely be back for those again this year. Em is so accommodating and caring, always producing incredible life long memories to keep.”

“Emily is an amazing photographer! I absolutely loved the pictures she took of us and she really knows how to work with little ones (I have a 16 months old). My daughter had fun, smiled at the camera all the time and we all felt super comfortable. Highly recommend her services. Thank you so much Em! 🙏🏻”

“6 months ago Em is absolutely amazing! I can’t thank her enough for capturing the most beautiful photos of our newborn and family. As a first-time parent, I was a bit nervous about how it would go and whether Bub would stay calm long enough—but Em made everything feel so relaxed and effortless. She worked efficiently, knew exactly what to do, and made us feel completely at ease. I thought I’d only like a few photos, but I ended up loving the entire album!!!! Absolutely recommend her—worth every”

“We’ve had two photoshoots with Emily now and she is absolutely amazing. She always delivers the most beautiful photos with a super fast turnaround. My daughter has non-verbal autism and Emily is so patient with her. She manages to capture the most special shots every time. We’ll definitely be booking our annual family photos with her from now on!”

“Emily was so kind thoughtful and helpful. We had an extended family session. She made sure everyone felt comfortable and involved. The session was fast (but not rushed) and effective. This allowed for the group to remain involved and present it also ensured that the setting was at its most optimal timing.”

“We recently had the pleasure of working with Natural Oak Photography for our family photos, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we met her, Em was warm, caring, relaxed, and incredibly professional. She instantly put everyone at ease, which made the whole shoot feel natural and fun. Her creativity and talent shine through in every image. She captured not just beautiful photos, but the essence of our family and each person’s unique personality. Every shot feels though”

“Em from Natural Oak Photography was so fun to do our Maternity photos with. Em was happy for to me send her examples of the kind of shots I was wanting and she nailed them + a super quick turnaround getting the gallery to me.

“I have nothing but amazing things to say about Em from Natural Oak Photography. She has captured my family before and most recently my very fresh newborn who was just over 24 hours old! Em has a beautiful photography style which always captures candid natural moments. She also has a way with some of the toughest little people to image, also know as the Toddler! I cherish having my photo taken with my family and this will defiantly not be the last shoot we have with Natural Oak Photography!”

“I don’t even know where to start. Em you’re absolutely amazing to say the least, friend, photographer, mum and everything in between. I go to Em for any professional photos, family session, newborn and the tradition I’ve started of getting photos with my daughter every year for her birthday to capture each age as she grows. Emily always exceeds all my expectations, she hits the mark and goes way above and beyond.”
