Warrnambool family photography

Your favourite people at your favourite place. Does it get any better?

Family photography is my PASSION. Possibly because i’m deep in it myself, with 2 teens and a little one. I LOVE capturing a family’s unique dynamics, teenage banter, busy toddlers, and that deep love & connection.

Being a mum, I know the feeling well of time passing too quickly, and that desire to freeze it and capture every possible moment. I also understand that none of us mums ever feel truly "photo-ready" and it can also be an effort to convince the gang (dad!) to get in front of the camera. But I regularly jump up on my soapbox about the importance of EXISTING in photos, not for ourselves, but for our little ones to treasure in the future. And I honestly haven’t met anyone who’s regretted it, some dad’s have even been heard to say “wow, that was actually fun!”.

My ultimate aim is to make the WHOLE experience relaxed and fun and provide you with photos you’ll treasure forever! I’ve come to realise, in my 13+ years in the industry, that my superpower is being able to make people feel at ease in front of my camera. Possibly because i’m a clumsy old dork (intimidation is NOT my middle name), but either way, it means you end up relaxed & enjoying yourself while I get candid, beautiful images. Winning! I usually end up going home with a few new little friends too; my favourite bonus.

I'm a huge fan of the great outdoors. I love capturing the beauty of a family in the wonder of the great outdoors, a combo made in heaven. We’re utterly spoilt by choice here in South West Vic.

Do you guys love the beach? A good bushwalk? Or just hanging in your backyard? You name your place and i’ll be there in a heartbeat. I’m based in Warrnambool but I love to travel all around the South West Vic and beyond, so hit me up!

  • Pre-session advice and an online info guide, which aims to answer all your questions, give you tips on how to prepare and what to expect. I’m also very happy to chat anytime.

  • A client closet of beautiful dresses is available to any mum who fancies something new but doesn’t want to go out and buy a new dress. I also have a beautiful range for newborns and babies.

Kind words from happy clients

  • I cannot speak highly enough of Knelly photo! I was not only thrilled with our photos, but thoroughly enjoyed the session itself. Jodie made us feel comfortable and relaxed leading up to the day and the session was such a fun and memorable experience. I was initially hesitant to have photos taken but i am so glad i took the plunge and trusted Jodie. Her warmth, kindness, professionalism and genuine passion for her photography are a credit to her and i look forward to updating our gallery in the future!
