We had a wonderful and fun family photoshoot with Katie. She’s very professional, knows how to get the right angles and made us all feel very comfortable. The weather wasn’t what we were hoping for, but we got amazing photos, so much better than what I ever could have imagined. Picture editing skills on point! I can’t recommend her service enough! Thanks so much again, very very happy with the results. Such amazing family memories to have!”

“Our shoot with Katie has been our best photography experience as a family. The individual personalities of the children were captured perfectly, at such a precious time for our family. To photograph a family of six so seamlessly shows Katie's talent. We continue to recommend Dear Juniper Photography to everyone and will cherish our photos forever, we couldn't love them more.”

I got to wear one of her beautiful dresses and I was made to feel like a princess. Thanks for the amazing experience Katie.

“If you’ve ever thought of capturing your bump in the water, Katie is your girl.
Her sessions aren’t just about photographs like this.. they’re a soothing and therapeutic experience, where I felt super safe & comfortable to be guided in the water through these graceful movements.
As I approach the final weeks of my pregnancy, I am so thank full for this magical morning with just the two of us and hearing Katie’s positive and uplifting affirmations.
It was truely an incredible experience that I’d encourage all expecting mothers to experience!”
~ Kate, Underwater Maternity Photoshoot in Sydney 2023
“Katie is the most wonderful photographer. I had such an incredible experience doing a pregnancy photo shoot underwater with her. She goes above and beyond for her clients. She doesn’t look at the clock. She is so passionate and it shows in the quality of her work. I traveled from the mid north coast to central coast, after stumbling across her website just because her portfolio was so amazing, I simply had to do a photo shoot with her. She was so kind she went out of her way to fit in a session with me in the busiest time of the year. Even when the weather was not the best she managed to find alternate solutions to make sure I ended up with the most amazing photos. I cherish the time we spent together and all the photos she took are a true reflection of the magic of that day. An absolutely unforgettable experience. “
