Wollongong Family & Business Photographer
Are you looking for a photographer who will create something special?
Someone who will capture those fleeting moments, or bring your vision to life?
Then you’re in the right place.
I’m Rachel from Scribbly Gum Photography, an award-winning photographer with a heart for creativity, and a head for technical brilliance.
My specialty is capturing the opposing forces of softness and strength in my images, creating something special you’ll be proud to share.
Whether that’s through providing a business headshot which is professional yet approachable, or through capturing the power and femininity of a pregnant mother. My photos celebrate individuality, life and family in their many forms and seasons. My clients love the way I customise my style and approach to suit their needs. If you’re looking for a photographer who truly reflects your personality and preferences, I can help.

Colours of Motherhood: A Sharing of Stories
Let’s talk about the hard stuff.
The big stuff, so that we don’t feel so alone and unseen in our motherhood journeys. The Colours of Motherhood magazine shares the stories of 14 mums, with diverse experiences of motherhood. I then created a photo of their challenge in motherhood and together, the stories and photos are shared in the magazine. It is for you, if you are struggling with something in motherhood, or perhaps you might be feeling alone, or that you are not good enough.

Professional, Relaxed, Accommodating
Not only does Rachel do beautiful pregnancy and newborn pics, she did my Calmbirth Profile pics. Rachel nailed the brief and was the perfect combo of professional, relaxed and accommodating. Also, she easily managed my three kids running a much behind the scenes. Made an awkward shoot (for me) comfortable.
