Our stinking hot Melbourne family Christmas

A low-key Covid Christmas has me reminiscing of the Christmas before, when we were back in Melbourne and I photographed my beautiful extended family as we ate delicious food, the kids ran around in the heat, played on the slip n slide, and my baby got to meet his great-grandmother for the first time. Extended family events are so much fun to photograph, maybe because they don’t really feel like proper photo sessions – they are just really fun family events where the catch ups are real, the playing is full on and the emotions are genuine. I’m so glad I have these photos with all of my cousins and their babies and children together. And for my West Coast families who have wondered what Christmas looks like in Australia – here is a good visual for you! No snow, no coats, no darkness at 4pm… just a lot of sweaty, delirious kids who ate all their holiday chocolate by 10am.

Is relaxed, documentary-style photography your jam?

Fancy a bit of light reading?

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.
