About Belinda Dorman Photo and Film
With over twelve years of experience, Belinda Dorman has become one of Brisbane’s most trusted and heartfelt visual storytellers for families navigating the extraordinary seasons of pregnancy, birth and early parenthood. Through her business, Belinda Dorman Photo and Film, she offers an artistic yet grounded approach to documenting life’s most transformative chapters — maternity, newborn, and family life — in a way that feels deeply honest and profoundly human.
Belinda’s work is defined by her ability to hold space for families in their most vulnerable, tender, and beautiful moments. Her calm presence and intuitive understanding of this time in your life allow her subjects to simply be — creating room for connection, quiet strength, and genuine love to unfold naturally before her lens. The result is photographs and films that are more than just keepsakes; they are timeless expressions of a family’s values and love.
Belinda combines her artistic eye with a lifestyle approach that favours authenticity over perfection. Every photograph and film she crafts reflects her commitment to meaningful storytelling — the subtle gestures, the soft light of a newborn’s first days, the quiet awe between parents rediscovering themselves in new roles. Her clients describe their experience as grounding and affirming, often leaving with a sense of being seen and celebrated for who they truly are. Belinda believes these moments — fleeting yet monumental — deserve to be honoured with artistry and intention.
Through Belinda Dorman Photo and Film, she creates legacy-worthy imagery that transcends generations: visual heirlooms that will one day remind grown children of how fiercely they were loved and how their family once began. Based in Samford and serving Brisbane and surrounding areas, Belinda continues to offer families the priceless gift of preserving their story — honestly, beautifully, and with heart.

Jess Myers Photography
I’m Jess, a family photographer based on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.
I want to capture the real, raw moments of every season of life. To me, it’s all about making the mundane look magical and beautiful. I also want you to have fun while capturing some cherished memories.
As a mother of 2 little ones myself, I understand how important it is to document those early moments and capture those tender days of early motherhood in a way that is authentic to you and your family.
Samantha Claire Photography
A passionate lifestyle photographer based here in Sydney on the Northern Beaches. I specialise in a wide range of photography. From family portraiture of life’s beautiful moments, to helping small businesses create some unique visual content for their online presence.
My style is very natural and honest. I prefer shooting in natural light as it constantly challenges my creativity, but also I feel it tells a richer, deeper story. I create art out of the real moments, capturing you and your story exactly how it is.
I’m all about trying new things and having fun with my projects. I work very closely with my clients/families to achieve the right aesthetic in images so the overall outcome exceeds expectations.

The Beauty in the Chaos: Why Capturing the Early Days of Motherhood Matters
Martine Payne (Martine Payne Photography)
My clients often feel quite emotional when they receive their images as it reflects back to them about their current life. It is so difficult to see the beauty in your own small moments in parenting when you are just in survival mode; so easy to just let the weeks and months pass trying to get through without capturing it in any meaningful way.
