who am i?
@deahannkaraphotography
I'm a Melbourne maternity, newborn and family lifestyle photographer.
I'm also a mum to two amazingly energetic boys; and more recently a beautiful baby girl, who has brought the perfect splash of pink to our household! They consume much of my time but in amongst all the chaos I love to travel, create, cook, renovate and take photos. As a mum I understand how special it is to capture the mini moments in life. You will be amazed how fast your baby grows and the opportunity to capture and record these precious moments is so important.

Sam - Newborn Photography
“Nat was fantastic from start to finish. She had prompt and friendly communication prior to the shoot and was patient and efficient on the day. It was amazing watching her settle our newborn while creating and capturing special moments. The photographs speak for themselves and are just beautiful. Nat took gorgeous shots of our newborn and worked hard to capture some family photos with our less compliant fur baby too! We absolutely love our photographs and highly recommend Nat.”

Tamara - In home family session
“Nat photographed our growing family with our 6 month old daughter and 3 year old son.
She has a natural talent at capturing beautiful and natural moments with my family. I am so overjoyed by these photos!
She is so good at putting you at ease and it’s just like having a chat with a close friend. You don’t have to worry about posing, as it’s not about that at all, you just relax, have fun with your family and at the end of the session, you’ll find Nat has worked her magic and you have the most perfect...”

Bump to baby - Phil
“Natalie took maternity and newborn photos for our family and did an incredible job. Her patience and ability to get beautiful photos from our 3 year old blew me away. She also made us feel really comfortable and gave great direction. I would highly recommend any families wondering if they should do family photos to absolutely do it and 100% utilise Natalie's services. We will cherish these photos and memories for ever, if only we had more wall space to hang them all up!”

“It was such a dream to have Nat take my photos for my maternity shoot. I am so glad I chose her to capture this moment in my life being pregnant with my last baby & my 4th. I was really nervous to do something like this, but I really wanted to do something special for my last pregnancy. Natalie made me feel so comfortable, that I was able to feel so relaxed and just enjoy it & have fun. She captured so many magical moments & there was so much feeling & beautiful lighting in her photos! I am so happy.”

Kate - Twin newborn photoshoot
“Nat is a truly talented photographer & a lovely person. Her ability relate so well with our unpredictable little people to capture the most beautiful and natural photos is a rare skill! Nat photographed our family which included our then 6 week old twins and 3 year old son which was no mean feat.
She was a really calming influence and made us feel relaxed and at ease. She was also very patient with us as we buzzed about feeding and parenting in between photos.
Our then 3 year old son just did not want...”

Joanna - Family Sunrise Session
“Its hard when you're the photographer in the family & there are very little photos of you. I found Nat on IG & loved her photos, a mum & photographer I knew she would be right for us.
She was easy to chat to & VERY flexible as both my kids are on the Autism Spectrum & have strict bedtimes so we switched to a sunrise session & boy was it beautiful! I am so grateful for Nat for capturing moments that my kids can look back to see that I existed! Thanks Nat for your patience, understanding & outstanding images.”

“I followed Nat on IG for a couple of years before I booked her for a family photography session; I loved her images. Nat doesn’t just capture gorgeous moments; she has a beautiful, unique style & her photographs have so much warmth & depth. It was hard to choose our final picks from the gallery as there were so many amazing shots! Nat is a brilliantly talented photographer & lovely to work with. If you’re thinking about booking a family photography session, I couldn’t recommend Nat more highly.”

Alexander - 1st Birthday
“We are so grateful to Natalie for capturing some of the most precious moments of our son's 1st birthday. We were blown away with her ability to catch some of the most fleeting emotions of a child - surprise, admiration, curiosity or happiness from the first bite of sugar in their life. We believe this is exactly what makes Natalie a true professional. Thank you so much, Natalie, we will cherish these moments forever through your photos!”

Deahann - Maternity Session
“Our maternity session was a dream! Nat made us feel so comfortable & relaxed & I felt like a goddess wearing dresses from her stunning client wardrobe which really took the hassle & stress out of deciding what to wear. I loved how they complimented & showed off my growing bump. Our photos are absolutely beautiful. As a family photographer myself, I’m blown away by our imagery. We can’t thank Nat enough for capturing our family so perfectly. She bought our love to life & I will treasure our photos forever!”

ELIZABETH - family session
“We loved welcoming Nat into our home to take our family photos with our 7mth old. Before we even had our session, she was so accommodating in rescheduling our dates due to lockdown. Nat was professional, made us feel relaxed, & was so wonderful with our daughter & our fur-baby. The end results were perfect. We loved them all so much we decided to keep them all! I am so glad we decided to book Nat for these photos to celebrate our daughter & I couldn't recommend her more to anyone looking for a photographer.”

ELISE - newborn
“Our photoshoot was everything I hoped for. Even though getting photos taken was out of our comfort zone, Nat made this such a relaxed experience. We were able to get beautiful photos in the comfort of our own home which made it so much more relaxing with a 2wk old baby. Our son Noah decided he wanted to be awake for the experience but Nat took this upon herself to help keep him calm & happy and was able to get even better photos of him than I'd hoped for! I can't wait to get Nat over again for baby no.2.”

BINGO BUNDLES - branding session
“Nat was AMAZING!!
My request was a little bit different - I was launching a kids product and found Nat on IG. The way she captured joyful moments of kids & families had me & I knew she would be perfect for my project. She completed a series of product setups for a shoot of my Bingo Bundles playmats. She went above & beyond & the photos are just magical. They hero the website & bring class to my IG feed. I'd totally recommend. Her talent is capturing the moments of joy, fun, love!”
