About me
Hi there, I'm Kaylee!
I'm the owner and founder of Real and Raw Photography. My passion is documenting Motherhood throughout the North Brisbane area.
I started Real and Raw Photography after I gave birth to my daughter in 2019. Experiencing motherhood first hand really showed me how fast our babies grow and how documenting these moments are so special and important. Going through this, really pushed me to start documenting these beautiful moments for other mothers.
Photos to me are very sentimental, I hold them really close to my heart. These document moments in our lives that we can't rewind or relive. These are what we show our children, families, friends and strangers when we are telling our stories.
One thing I really love about motherhood is that, every single mother’s story is so different - making them all so unique.
When you book a session with me, you'll see how much I love candid shots. These are my absolute favourite thing to capture besides little baby feet. These moments really document the love and connection between you and your family.
If I sound like the right photographer for you, send me a message on Facebook, Instagram or Email.
I look forward to hearing from you!

FAQ
Do you require a deposit?
Yes - A $100 deposit is required to secure the date you're after. All deposits are non-refundable, but where possible I am happy to reschedule.
Where are you based and where will my session be?
I'm based between North Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.
I have multiple locations that can be used between these areas. You can choose what location you would like for your session from my location list. You can find this on my Instagram in the highlights section.
When will we get our photos?
You will receive a private online gallery link with all your photos between 4-6 weeks. Sometimes less depending on the season I photograph your story.
What do we wear for our session?
Styling is one of the most important things to have organised for your session. Earthy tones work perfectly ! I have a complimentary Client Closet and Baby Closet available if you need clothing for your session.
Do you have props we can use for our session?
Yes I do ! I have blankets, chairs, rugs, pillows, announcement signs, hats, ect that I can bring along or you to use.
I've never had a session before, I'm anxious!
Feeling this way is totally okay and normal. I understand how anxious it can feel being in from of the camera. Just know that I've experienced multiple people being anxious before their session, It's quite common. I always say, you'll feel anxious for the first 10 or so minutes then you'll get in the groove. I'm a very bubbly, chill, laid back person. I won't push you into doing poses that you don't want or feel comfortable in doing. I like to capture you / your family in candid ways. Just being yourself and letting your personality shine through is all that matters.
When should I book in my maternity and newborn session?
For maternity anytime between 32-36 weeks is perfect. Your belly will be the perfect size and you'll feel more comfortable in moving around.
For newborn, anytime between 1-12 weeks is great however it's completely up to you. I always make sure I tell my maternity clients to put themselves first. Labour can be so unpredictable and so can our mental health once we have had our beautiful babies. If you book in your newborn session in advance and don't feel ready closer to the date that's okay. We can always reschedule to a later date that best suits you.
