Welcome to a collection of real moments — muddy feet, quiet cuddles, and the magic that lives in between. This is family photography led by connection, curiosity, and a whole lot of heart.
From my families…
“Nasya was lovely and worked with my cat Nori’s mood with patience and graciousness. The whole shoot was fun and relaxed and I love the photos she captured. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for some special shots of their fur babies.”
AgathaWild Whiskers Package
“The photos (in the gallery) just get more and more beautiful, thank you so much again, they are perfect. I couldn't have dreamed of anything more. Nasya did such a great job of capturing the main event but also the sweet moments in the corners”
StephanieEvent Coverage
“Huge love and thanks to our amazing photographer Nasya for gifting us her time and talent for our pre-wedding shoot 🥹💖 She somehow made us forget we were even in front of a camera—no small feat! With her fun, warm, and cheeky energy, the whole shoot felt more like hanging out than posing for photos. We laughed, relaxed, and ended up with memories (and photos!) we’ll treasure forever.”
Lots of love, Nili & Andy
Sparkle Package

Before I picked up a camera, I was (and still am!) a primary school teacher supporting kids with disabilities — which means I come fully equipped with patience, kid-level humour, and the ability to meet little people exactly where they’re at.
Big feelings, wiggly bodies, shy smiles — none of it fazes me. Your kids don’t need to “perform” for the camera. They just need to be themselves.
-
I take a gentle, playful approach to sessions, giving kids (and fur babies) space to warm up and families permission to relax. Some of the best photos happen in the in-between moments — and those are my favourites to capture.
I turn things into little games for children, giving them “missions” to keep things fun and natural, while gently guiding adults with simple prompts to shake off those camera-shy nerves.

Mud & Magic is all about real moments — the muddy shoes, the giggles between wrangled chaos, the quiet magic in everyday family life. I first ventured into this wanting to capture those moments with my own little one… because let’s be honest, my husband wasn’t cutting it!
And because family doesn’t stop at humans — pets are always welcome here. They’re part of your story, your routines, your love. That’s why there’s a dedicated pet-friendly session, so your four-legged family members can be included in a way that feels calm, joyful, and true to you.
Every session is thoughtfully edited and tailored to your family, your location, and the light we’re given — because your memories deserve more than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Messy, meaningful, and full of heart — that’s Mud & Magic 🌿✨
