Where light meets

feeling

Capturing the quiet moments and stolen glances, between what was and what’s becoming.

Welcome to Hollow & Hearth

This is for the people who care about how it felt, not just how it looked.

The in-between moments. The messy bits. The quiet ones you don’t realise matter until much later.

Here at Hollow & Hearth, we photograph in a gentle, relaxed way. No pressure, no awkward posing, no rushing you through it. I’ll guide you when you need it, step back when you don’t, and let things unfold naturally so your images feel honest and true to you and this chapter, you’re living.

If you’re drawn to photographs that feel warm, real, and lived-in, you’ll feel right at home here.

Each experience is guided gently,
shaped by connection rather than performance

Capturing life's most precious moments

Hello, I’m Steph

There’s something sacred in the moments we often overlook. The way a hand rests on a growing belly, the weight of a newborn curled into your chest, the unfiltered joy of a first birthday, already slipping into memory.

For years now, I’ve had the honour of holding space for these fleeting seasons. From the anticipation of maternity, to the tenderness of newborn days, the wildness of family life, the intimacy of lovers, and the confidence found in boudoir. Every session is an invitation to slow down and simply be.

This is a space where nothing needs to be performed.
Where emotion matters more than perfection.
Where your story is held with care.

Every chapter deserves to be remembered.

FROM THE JOURNAL

  •  The most wonderful experience

    I had the most magical maternity photoshoot at sunrise on the cliffs with Stephanie! The entire experience was beyond perfect—the light, the location, and the way she made me feel so comfortable and radiant. She captured the beauty of this moment in ways I couldn’t have imagined. These photos are pure art, and I will treasure them forever. Highly recommend for any mom-to-be looking for something special! ~ Jess

  • Every session felt effortless, and the final images were beyond what we imagined

    Steph is incredibly professional, warm, and talented. From maternity to newborn sessions, she creates a calm, confident space and delivers beautiful images that consistently exceed expectations. Her care, patience, and dedication are unmatched — I wouldn’t trust anyone else with our memories.

  • She made us feel completely at ease, and it shows in the photos.

    Her photos and edits are stunning; she truly has an eye for capturing beautiful, natural moments. We were blown away by how many sneak peeks she shared with us so quickly, which made the whole experience even more exciting.

    On top of her amazing work, Stephanie is just so lovely and down-to-earth. She made us feel completely at ease, and it really shows in the photos. Couldn’t recommend her more!

  • A gem to work with, especially when it comes to little ones.

    Returning customer because my first experience was amazing. Stephanie did our newborn photo and we just returned again for the Cake Smash. Would recommend Stephanie to anyone as she is a gem to work with. Kind caring and thoughtful especially when it comes to creating a beautiful setting and experience for your little one. Thank you Steph !
