I'm here to photograph the two messiest, funnest things you've made: your creative business and your little tackers.
Let's get you some snazzy new photos.
No getting all dressed up to grin awkwardly at the camera over here!
Playful photo sessions for people who value real over perfect, honest over curated, play over posing.
Let everyone wear whatever they want. And you get to be your damn self, too.
Show the honest behind the scenes of your business. The yoghurt pots with dirty brushes and the paint-spattered floor.
Your photographs will be messy, wild and a bit crazy.
Your client experience will be anything but.
Expect:
-excellent communication,
-kind policies,
-an easy booking process,
-a teacher-level of organisation to guide you before and during your session,
-an ability to meet kids where they're at,
-just the right amount of guidance to help you feel at ease in front of the camera, and
-a 3-week gallery turnaround time.
- Amy

Geelong, Torquay and Surf Coast artists: Got a new collection release coming up that you want to show off? Refreshing your website and realising you should probably be in some of the photos? Hoping to capture your studio space or love of painting en plein air?
Show your collectors the beautifully messy behind the scenes of your art business!
I visit your kids in their wild habitat (= your cozy, messy home) and spend 80% of the time rolling around on the floor taking photos of you all playing and doing your thing.
Or, if you're like my family and you love the outdoors, we head outside for a Great Ocean Road adventure together on one of the beautiful Surf Coast beaches near here!
Extended families of all shapes, sizes and colours welcome.
Specifically, you with your newborn, being all cozy and full of love at home. If you're looking for someone to swaddle your baby up and put them in a tea cup, I'm not for you. But if you want to remember the little expressions on your baby's face and the weird way they stretch, then this is for you! I love the wriggles, the baby farts, and using the Bobby Dazzler lifestyle, 35mm film vibes to document how your lives have grown since this little being came along.
Or more specifically - the person or people behind the small business! I specialise in capturing creative content of the behind-the-scenes process of what you do, so that you can show up online in an honest and fun way. Clients love hiring people they connect with, so I want to help you show up just the way you are. Headshots, website refresh and full custom branding packages available in Torquay, Geelong & the Surf Coast.
I'm Kristen, your new daggy friend with a camera.
I'm the real human behind Bobby Dazzler Photography, and I've also been a teacher for 15+ years - so when I say I enjoy little rascals, I mean it!
My husband snapped this photo at 37 weeks pregnant with my daughter - and every time I see it I laugh and remember the feeling that I was never getting up from that squat!
I'm a cardigan and cup of tea kind of girl. I knit, I paint, I play instruments. You'll never catch me putting makeup on to go to the gym or kinder pickup. I value honesty and authenticity, big time - I want to bring the way I see the world to how I capture your unique story. It's like telling a story, collaboratively. So, when you show up for our session, please, just be you.
Hi hello!
Five kids, two fun parents and a whole lot of mucking around during a lazy Sunday breakfast at home. This is what I mean when I say, 'Less posing, more playing'.
Ready for a good old-fashioned mess around?
Click that button to book a no-pressure chat with me - because in this day of a million messages on too many platforms, I still think sitting down with a cuppa and coming up with ideas together is the BEST way for us to get to know each other and to see if we are a good fit!
Hooley dooley!
"Great art picks up where nature ends."
