RoxieArt Photography

I’m Roxy from RoxieArt Photography — a Hartley-based family photographer who believes the best portraits come from relaxed, honest moments. My work focuses on documenting family life and maternity with a gentle, observational style: I aim to record the small, authentic details that make your family unique so you can look back and remember who you were at this moment in time. Why choose RoxieArt for your family photoshoot? I bring years of experience and a calm, conversational approach that helps even camera-shy family members feel at ease. Whether we’re in my cosy home studio in Hartley or meeting on location, my priority is to create a comfortable atmosphere where laughter, connection and real emotion can happen naturally. I’m often a quiet observer, spotting the fleeting expressions and interactions that become the most treasured images. My process is collaborative and simple. We start with a pre-session consultation to talk about what matters to you — favourite locations, clothing ideas, and the types of images you’d love to display at home. On the day, I guide families gently with prompts rather than rigid poses so everyone can be themselves. I use natural light whenever possible to keep portraits feeling warm and timeless. After the session I personally hand-edit each chosen image to ensure the colour, tone and mood match the story we created together. I value relationships: many clients tell me they leave not only with beautiful photographs but having enjoyed the whole experience. You’ll be invited back for an in-person viewing where I help you choose prints, albums or digital collections that best present your images. I also provide straightforward printing rights so you can enjoy your photos where they belong — on your walls and in family albums. While family photography is my speciality, I also photograph maternity sessions with the same sensitive, narrative-led approach. If you’re in Hartley or the surrounding area and want a photographer who prioritises connection, care and timeless storytelling, get in touch — I’d love to help capture this chapter of your family’s story.
