Zoe has captured my family grow over the last 5 years! from newborns and a wedding to cake smashes and Christmas minis. Zoe is always able to get the perfect shot. Zoe has everything covered, with the most amazing collection of outfits, tea for frazzled parents and toys to occupy little ones. I will find any excuse for a shoot with Zoe!

We had the maternity,newborn and cakesmash photo sessions with Zoë.
All the pictures are absolutely amazing and we have got such the incredible moments. We highly recommend Wildwood Photography based on our experiences. Zoë gives so much patience and effort for each and every photoshoot to give the Best to her clients. We feel lucky to meet her.

My children have been getting a Mini Christmas session there for many years now and its lovely how we are remembered and are welcomed as if we were long time friends. we enjoy the relax and welcoming nature of Zoe and her studio. Would recommend Wildwood photography to anyone and everyone.

Wildwood is the only photographer we use to have our family photos done. Zoe is amazing and we are always happy with our photos. Highly recommend to anyone who wants beautiful photos of their family.
Bridgette Earnshaw
Zoe is absolutely brilliant with babies and kids. My toddler is a ball of energy and she was so patient with him. She has always captured the most incredible photos of my family and I can’t wait for her to capture more of our special moments as my children grow.

Thank you so much for your review Jemma! It was a pleasure capturing this special time for your family 🙂
Melissa
I recently had maternity, newborn and christmas photos taken by Zoë at Wildwood Photography. The experience was fantastic and the photos were beautiful. I thought 10 photos would be enough for the newborn shoot, I was wrong! I struggled to narrow my selection down to 25! The setups are beautiful, the client closet is a lovely touch!
Nimmy
We did a mini sessions with Zoe ,she is so simple,very approachable and professional.I was bit sceptical about my kids ,how they gonna be in the photo shoot but Zoe made them very comfortable and took very natural photos . Loved it.
Belinda Robbie
My 2 & 6yr old had the best time creating some magical Christmas portraits, I have not seen anything else like Wildwoods set up for Santa pics, it’s so unique and everyone keeps asking me where we got them done because the images are so beautiful. This was our second time having pics with wildwood and we’ll def be back again.
Jane Jens
Zoe was amazing, the girls loved being photograph by her. She has the best wardrobe! The photos we received were absolutely beautiful!
Shari Gillespie
I cannot put into words how highly I recommend Zoë from Wildwood Photography. As someone who has very few photographs of my family from my own childhood, it is extremely important to me to create a photographic legacy for my own children, something that Zoe is also passionate about. With her amazing skills we have captured so many magical memories for our children to look back on – all 3 of them as newborns, first birthday cake smashes, Christmas photos and other special occasions such as Mother’s Day and their first Easter’s. Zoe makes everything so easy – the only hard part is choosing a reasonable number of photos from the gallery of pictures she takes!
Kaitlyn Williams
we have used wildwood photography a few times now and I would highly recommend them to anyone that is after amazing quality photos. I will definitely be back for more
Haidee
Zoe is an amazing photographer. Patient, trustworthy, calm and incredibly passionate about her work.
Hilde Stolk
Wildwood photography has been our favourite photographers for all the major life events that we want to treasure. They helped us capture our wedding, the newborn stages of our first and second baby, our son’s first birthday and also some stunning maternity sessions. We are always blown away by the quality of the finished images and will continue to support and recommend them.
Meghan
beautiful photos and they were so patient and warm. we arent great at having our photo taken, but we were helped to feel really comfortable. we will treasure these images, they really captured us
Tessa Halliday
Zoe is amazing at what she does! The photos were amazing but not only that the whole photo shoot experience was relaxing and fun. she does everything for you so you can just sit back and enjoy the process.
Samantha
Zoe at Wildwood photography has out done herself again with our Christmas shots. This is the second year that we have done a Christmas photoshoot and again we have loved how all the photos have come out, this will definately become our family Christmas tradition. Zoe makes the process so easy and can always get amazing photos of my two girls who dont always like to sit still for long. Thank you Zoe for our beautiful photos that we will cherish for many years to come
Erin Busija
Zoë has captured magical moments for our family for quite a few years now and we are always blown away by her art. Zoë is so very patient, kind and caring with Frankie. She never fails to capture the moment. This year we had the privilege of having two sessions with Wildwood, a family mini and a Christmas mini. I am so glad we did both, the end result is always amazing and we always struggle to choose the photos for our package. Thank you Zoë for capturing such special memories for us.
Janelle McClounan
Zoe was absolutely amazing to be able to capture the amazing Christmas photos with all 5 of my babes! Could not be more happier with what she has produced for each and everyone one of my children
Kelsey
The studio storytelling session we did with Wildwood photography for my 3 month old was just perfection. Zoë was so wonderful working with our bub and giving guidance during the shoot. The session was very relaxing yet professional and beautifully set up. There were such a wonderful range of photos to chose from at the end and we are still so happy with the finished prints we received. Thank you so much Zoë and Geoff; a beautiful family business 💚
Kym Ashworth
Words can’t even express how happy we are with our Photos! What a gorgeous experience for all of us! We were made to feel so welcome and Zoe was just beyond amazing with our two autistic boys! The whole experience was fabulous! Couldn’t recommend this place enough! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Brunhilde Stolk
Wildwood photography has been such a huge part of some core memories for us in this past year. Zoe and Geoff have been an absolute blessing and I’m so grateful that they’ve done such an amazing job at capturing those special moments. Our wedding photos were better than I could’ve imagined and Zoe made it so fun! She also managed the big crowd and has such a gentle touch with newborns! Will definitely be back for more wonderful photos in future.
Sarah Muirhead
Geoff from Wildwood photographed our wedding back in October in the middle of Covid restrictions. With all the changes required for our wedding, Geoff was kind, encouraging, knowledgeable, and incredibly generous with his time and assistance both in the lead up and on the day. We had a beautiful relaxed, intimate wedding ceremony and it was all captured stunningly in photos that we will be showing and enjoying for years to come. We were so happy Geoff could be part of our day and would thoroughly recommend Wildwood photography!
clare
A really enjoyable, casual and fun shoot. Zoe is professional and friendly. She took on my brief and requests, no problems. Great communication. Photos look great, relaxed and encapsulate our family.
Nicole Brown
2021 brought a huge year for us and we have loved having Zoe and Geoff be there to help us keep these memories forever. Firstly we had Zoe do a Christmas mini shoot with our 3 month old daughter for her first Christmas and then a week later Geoff was there to snap our Sovereign Hill wedding. The photos are magical and we are so thankful for the two of you. Just amazing work and will highly recommend to anyone in need of a photographer or two.
Tahlia Elliott
We had our newborn and family photos done with Zoe, She was absolutely amazing with our girls especially our 5 week old newborn she was so gentle and was able to keep her asleep the hole photoshoot, The photos she was able to capture are absolutely stunning we couldn’t be any more happier they are something we will cherish forever. We won’t be going anywhere else and look forward to having more photos done by Zoe will definitely be a family tradition from now on
Leah Morrissey
Our Christmas mini photo’s were all amazing it was hard to choose the best ones as they were all beautiful. Zoe was lovely, she made the kids feel so welcomed. It was calm and magical through out the photo shoot. Will and have recommended Wildwood photography. Thank you once again.
Erin Busija
We have now had the pleasure of Zoe being the photographer for our little Frankie on 3 occasions. Zoe and Geoff aren’t just Photographers they are artists, the photos are like nothing you could ever imagine. We have had 2 Christmas sessions and a cake smash, they all went so smoothly. Zoe already had in mind each set she wanted to do for each session. Things move smoothly and quickly which we love and so do the little ones as they only have a short period before they loose patients. The Christmas shoots are magical, and capture such special memories. The cake smash was amazing and really focused on Frankie and the cake and Zoe captured the story so well. We are so grateful to have beautiful moments captured by such amazing people. We will definitely be using wildwood for our next photo shoot.
Ron Goodson
Family portraits Both Zoe and Geoff are a delight to deal with. So responsive and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. This was particularly relevant for us when we were let down by other so called professional photographers, after having waited for months only to be told they then couldn’t deliver on our booked in photo session. Zoe and Geoff stepped in and not only were they able to fit us in very quickly, the time taken and the quality of their works speaks volumes. Without a doubt the true eptimone of professional. We are so grateful and could not recommend Wildwood Photography more highly. No need to look any further if you want friendly, professional and quality photographers.
Samantha Jones
Zoe has made getting photos of my girls an easy and enjoyable experience. She is calm and patient and the results are just amazing. I can not recommend Wildwood Photography enough. Thank you so much again for capturing my beautiful girls during the most magical time of the year.
Nicole
Incredible is the best way to describe our experience and photos from Wildwood. Honestly could not recommend more highly. So thoughtful, collaborative and very talented. Thank you for capturing our family!
Tamanda
What can I say? Another year of amazing Christmas mini photos with Zoe! Zoe is amazing with kids…so super relaxed and knows how to get the best out of them even in a short period of time. Cannot recommend Wildwood Photography highly enough to capture those special memories you will treasure for years to come.
Victoria
Zoë photographed our wedding back in June and she did an amazing job. She was also great to work with and as well as being incredibly patient, she was also understanding and went out of her way to ensure we were able to have photos of our day. Zoë also stayed a little longer than booked to try and get the best light for an evening shot which was much appreciated on our end and was also incredibly flexible when it came to getting the photos back to us! We would love to have Zoë photograph for us again 🙂
Katrina O'keane
We had the privilege of meeting Zoe and having her capture our familys beautiful newborns first photos and what a wonderful heart warming experience it was. It was our family’s first ever photo shoot and Zoe went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable not only is she an amazing photographer she such a sweet lady very easy to talk to and makes you feel comfortable to be around I cant thank Zoe enough for making our first family photo experience so wonderful xx
Sophie
We had the lovely Zoë from wildwood photograph our wedding. Zoë was amazing! So accomodating and made us all feel so comfortable on the day. Zoë captured the many emotions of the day fantastically! With many laughs and tears there wasn’t a bad photo. We will definitely be back for more family shoots in the future.
Tracey
I just loved how Zoe made us all feel so comfortable, she was amazing with the kids. Very accommodating with the change of date and venue due to covid, and still made it possible for us to have our amazing photos still taken at our own home. Highly recommend
Shannon
Zoe and Geoff are amazing. We have spent more of our time with Zoe so far but from our maternity shoot we have built such a great connection that we will be using wildwood for all our photos going forward. Our newborn photos were amazing and we feel so comfortable and relaxed every time we meet. We aren’t the creative type and Zoe is just fantastic at getting those beautiful photos you all want forever.
Natasha
What a beautiful way to look back on memories of my daughter.
Rachel Bailey
A friend used Wildwood Photography and then recommended them to us, and we’re so glad they did! Zoe was fantastic with our family at our newborn photography session; especially with our one year old. She was professional, calm and patient. The photos were incredible and very hard to choose between. We’re looking forward to coming back for two further mini sessions over the next 12 months. Highly recommended 😊
Shawnee
My partner and I have recently had our first child. Zoe took our maternity shots for us and we were blown away with how professional, knowledgeable and easygoing she was! I was anxious ti have my photo taken being 36 weeks pregnant but from the moment I stepped in, I felt comfortable and knew the photos would turn out stunning! After our session we quickly booked in for our little lady to have her newborn shoot with Zoe as well. She was amazing with our little girl and knew exactly how to settle her for those perfect shots. The photos turned out beautiful and she made it very hard for us to pick just a few! Lucky for us, Zoe has multiple amazing packages available and we were able to upgrade easily. Fantastic photographer who I would recommend to anyone!
Nomiki
Zoë is not only an amazing photographer creating beautiful keep sakes but also such a lovely person. We’ve definitely found our family photographer. The photos she took of our new born son are stunning! Don’t pick anyone else – just use Wildwood Photography. You won’t regret it.
Linda
I was absolutely delighted to come across Wildwood photography as my family are quiet new to the Ballarat area. We purchased a newborn photo shoot as well as a family shoot with our 1 and half year old toddler. Zoë is absolutely amazing at what she does. Her attention to detail and professionalism is outstanding. We have a very energetic Toddler and Zoe was able to capture some truely amazing photos of our toddler with our newborn. Zoë’s studio is fabulous and she went above and beyond to what we required. We will definitely be back to Wildwood Photography for our next professional photos.
Monique Gray
Had a photoshoot done a week ago and zoe was so accommodating and great to work with, the kids enjoyed it and little miss’s newborn shoot turned out amazing, still trying to decide on which photo’s i like best ^_^
Haidee
I’ve had numerous photo shoots with Zoe and we have had a perfect experience each and every time. Zoe is so patient and great with kids. I’ve never felt rushed and all our photos have been amazing quality. Zoe takes has a lot of pride in her work and I wouldn’t hesitate recommending her.
Louise
Zoe never fails to capture our little boy perfectly! We have had newborn shoots, cake smashes and always get a Christmas mini! Zoe times her sessions perfectly for little people and always manages to draw out a smile or 2. We can’t wait for Zoe to work her magic capturing our wedding and our ever growing family.
Danielle Bridger
We’d never had professional photos taken before and wanted some relaxed family photos to the mark the occasion of our child’s first birthday. From start to finish Zoe was wonderful to deal with, putting my mind at ease, choosing a beautiful bush setting for the shoot abs even helping with our clothes choices. The photos are absolutely beautiful and we’ll treasure them always. Zoe and Geoff offer very reasonably priced packages and provide exceptional services of a very high quality.
Harvest Powell
We had our first Xmas photoshoot with Zoe and we will be back every year! What a fantastic experience, and we weren’t the easiest clients that day either! Highly recommend this fantastic business for all of your photoshoot needs.
Alexandra
Zoe & Geoff created amazing images of our 1 year old Baby Cake Smash for our Mother’s Group. They worked together to simultaneously capture all of the beautiful bubs having the time of their lives smashing cake. I would highly recommend them for anyone thinking of capturing images in the future.
Lorelei Wright
Zoe was very lovely and professional to deal with. Our photo’s have turned out amazing.
Blythe
Fabulous experience! My 3 month old got his first Christmas mini session done. Running late and being a first time mum in a fluster, Zoe was so helpful and understanding. The studio set up was beyond magical. The hardest part of the Christmas minis was choosing the photos. They were all beautiful! I smile every time I look at them and have had lots of compliments on social media
Ebony Foster
Zoe & Geoff are absolutely wonderful to work with, our family portraits are gorgeous. Couldn’t be happier & more in love with our journey we started with wildwood photography. From our wedding, to first born & our second bub. Beautiful memories to treasure forever ❤️
Tamanda Schlink
We have have the absolute pleasure of using Wildwood Photography twice now to capture some beautiful Christmas photos of my son and daughter. Zoe is lovely to deal with, so patient with kids (my kids were what I like to say feral the first year lol) and takes beautiful photos to record ever lasting memories for us to look back on as they grow up. Would 100% recommend anyone using the team at Wildwood Photography for those precious family photos.
Nicole Enright
Both Zoe and Geoff have taken our family’s photos, the first time was our wedding, the photos were absolutely stunning and Geoff was great at interacting and getting photos of us and our family and friends on our special day. Zoe has done our through the window photos and Christmas mini photos which we were all so beautiful, Zoe was so amazing at getting our shy 3 year old to smile and pose for photos. All the pictures we have had are truly amazing memories we can cherish!
bessieisbest
Highly recommend Wildwood Photography. We purchased the newborn package for our first child and were highly impressed by the quality and service, and especially the photos we get to admire everyday. We have have just gone back for number 2, newborn and family photos. Zoe did an amazing job capturing the cheekiness of our toddler in the brief moments he stayed still and the family photos are beautiful and we will cherish forever. Zoe provides a calm and welcoming environment that allows you to relax and feel comfortable (a challenge sometimes with a newborn and toddler), has beautiful handmade materials and takes the time to listen to what you want so you fully appreciate the final product. It was so hard choosing the final set of photos, we had to purchase more!
dee.terry419
We are so in love with the photos Zoe took of our boy and they are something we will cherish forever. Zoe was so lovely and gentle, making us feel so welcome in her studio. We will definitely be back for any future photos we need. Thank you for giving us precious memories!
mirandaholden86
I had newborn photos taken with Zoe and she was amazing! Very accommodating, as newborns work on their own schedule. The photos are stunning and I still love them to this day. Heading back for bubs #2 soon 🙌
tahlia0692
Zoe has given us the gift of being able to relive our days with a tiny newborn baby every time we look at the photos, which is such a beautiful thing to be able to do as children really do grow so quickly! Zoe is a master behind the camera who was able to capture the fleeting moments of our family interactions making beautiful, natural memories to last a lifetime ,but, the most amazing part was her ability to manage 3 young children and a newborn for 3 hours and make the session enjoyable and stress free which doesn’t happen often with a young family of 6. As a repeat customer I can confidently say there is no one else I would have take my family photos. Thanks Wildwood
efoster
Highly recommend Zoe & Geoff they are absolutely amazing. We will treasure our beautiful photos forever, they are so special to us ❤️ Zoe & Geoff are so kind & caring they looked after our newborn & toddler With so much love. We also have had our wedding photos taken by these two & they are beyond beautiful, captured the most precious moments. We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Wildwood Photography
louise.v.bolton
We’ve been so lucky to have zoe document our little mans first year, from newborn photos to a belated first birthday cake smash! Every session was so relaxed and never rushed. The photos are amazing, we always have trouble choosing just a few!
anne
Geoff came to take photos of our accommodation just outside Daylesford in Central Victoria. He took some lovely photos especially of the grounds and stayed longer than booked. Thanks Anne and Sean
meaganwhite35
Our family and newborn photo’s were all amazing it was hard to choose the best ones as they were all beautiful specially the ones of our handsome little fella. Zoe was lovely and welcoming and so gentle and soothing with our little boy, he was calm through out the photo shoot and well looked after, we both were. Will and have recommended Wildwood photography. Thank you once again.
beck.kirsopp
Our baby just had his first birthday cake smash photoshoot with Zoe!! Absolutely incredible!! She has so many tricks up her sleeve to be able to capture the perfect shot 🙂 She made myself and my son really enjoy the photoshoot and not once did we feel anxious about being in front of a camera. The images are breathtaking! I can’t wipe the smile off my face :):) She has truly captured our baby, so natural and happy ! Thank you so very much!!!!
kathryn.d.ford

Family Portraits We’ll Treasure Forever We purchased maternity and newborn photography from Zoe at Wildwood Photography and couldn’t be happier with the results. After having serious reservations about getting in front of the camera as new parents (exhausted, not feeling body confident), Zoe persuaded us to just do it. She assured us the family portraits would look beautiful and that our daughter would cherish them in years to come. Now, I have no doubt that she will. We adore all the photographs Zoe took of us and our baby. She also does an amazing job getting the baby perfectly calm and serene-looking for those angelic baby shots.
