Meet the Heart Behind Earthside Photography

Newborn & Family Lifestyle Photography

I believe the most meaningful moments are often the quietest. I’m Chloe — a Canberra-based photographer who captures newborn, milestone, and family stories with softness, depth, and care. My sessions are relaxed, natural, and full of intention — made for families who want to remember their now, just as it is.

It’s the soft light, the tiny details, the honest love — that’s what I’m drawn to capture

My son Calihan is the reason I see the world the way I do now. Becoming a mother softened me in ways I never expected — it made me slower, more intentional, and deeply aware of how quickly time passes. The tiny details, the quiet moments, the way love lives in the in-between — they all became impossible to ignore. Earthside was born from that shift. It's my way of honouring the beauty in the everyday, and giving other families something they can hold onto when the days feel like a blur. Gentle, storytelling imagery that captures your family as you are — because these moments, as small as they seem, are everything.

Photography has always been a part of who I am. I picked up my first camera as a little girl and was instantly captivated. That passion grew as I studied photography through high school and went on to study film, where I fell in love with visual storytelling. I eventually built a career as a video editor and real estate photographer — roles that shaped my technical skills and sharpened my creative eye. But it was becoming a mum that truly grounded my purpose. Earthside was born from that shift — a calling to document the gentle, honest moments of family life in a way that feels timeless, emotional, and true
