NOSTALGIC, RAW AND
INTIMATE PHOTOGRAPHY

 

BY AWARD-WINNING SYDNEY & CENTRAL COAST BIRTH & FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER, NADIA STONE.

 
 

CAPTURING THE PERSONAL &
PROFOUND ON A CINEMATIC SCALE

 

Your only job is to forget the camera is there (I’ll help with that). No fake smiles. No forced poses. Just you, your loved ones and the natural, wild, beautiful, complex and perfect chaos that exists in your relationships and your life together. I’ll bring my cameras (digital and film), my eye, my cinematic vision and my finely honed skills from working in film-making and fine art photography since 2013. With over a decade of experience, my work has been exhibited in prestigious galleries, including the National Portrait Gallery, and featured in leading international publications. In 2023, I was honored to be recognized among the top birth photographers of the year, bringing timeless artistry and heartfelt storytelling to every session.

how i work


BIRTH STORY SESSIONS

Birth is a miraculous journey, filled with profound emotions, raw vulnerability, and boundless strength. It is a transformative experience that deserves to be cherished and remembered forever. That's where I come in. With my expertise in birth photography, I have the privilege of documenting the incredible beauty and power that unfolds during this sacred event.


day in your life sessions

With Day in Your Life sessions, I’m there to capture the magic as it happens. I’ll slip in behind the scenes and follow your family over a full day. With minimal direction, I’ll document all the candid moments so you can keep them forever. Because nothing is better than real life— the chemistry, chaos and connections that are impossible to recreate. Relaxed, real, raw photos that capture a snapshot of you and your life, exactly as it is in this moment in time.


Narrative SESSIONS

Portraiture sessions are shorter, more focussed shoots that are built like a movie. With gentle direction and scene-setting, we capture the epic, cinematic moments of your life. The location you’ve always dreamed of, the interactions you want to capture forever, the story you long to share. A suite of photos that showcase your personality and a visual narrative that tells your story, perfect for Maternity, Newborn, and Family photo sessions.


mentoring

For photographers wanting to learn from me. Mentoring sessions include a half-day workshop where I will explain how I shoot my clients in the most natural way, along with sharing the “rules” of documentary photography. This will be followed by a 1 hour Q&A where we review what we have shot together.


 

Each photograph conveys a story with an immense amount of meaning behind it. They trigger wonderful memories of the moments in which they were captured.
