Capturing the ethereal beauty of life's milestones through maternity, newborn, cake smash, and boudoir photography.

I’m Stephanie

My heart is set on making your memories a beautifully unforgettable experience

Welcome to Missed Moments Photography, nestled in the sun-kissed paradise of the Gold Coast, Australia. As a proud Gold Coast native, I share my life with a wonderful husband and our two incredible children, who inspire me every day. My photography journey began as a creative hobby in 2012, but it blossomed into a profound passion when I welcomed my first child. The fleeting beauty of childhood and family life ignited a desire within me to capture these moments for others.

At 36 weeks pregnant with my second child, I made the leap to leave my long-term career and dive headfirst into the enchanting world of photography. Now, my weekends are filled with laughter and adventure, whether we're bouncing on the trampoline, exploring family favorites like Australia Zoo, or snuggling up for some TV time. And yes, like many parents, I rely on the whimsical world of Bluey and Paw Patrol to make family time even more delightful. Fun fact: I even named my son Ryder—talk about dedication to Paw Patrol!

In addition to being a photographer, I am a certified childcare educator with over 10 years of experience nurturing children aged 6 weeks to 2 years. This background has instilled in me a deep appreciation for the growth and development of little ones. Balancing my passion for photography with my role as a mom has allowed me to connect with children in a meaningful way while providing the support my own little ones need during their formative years. Join me on this beautiful journey as we create timeless memories together, whether it's capturing the glow of pregnancy, the warmth of your newborn, or celebrating the beauty of boudoir.

I look forward to making your memories beautifully unforgettable!

I can’t imagine doing anything else

Photography is a powerful medium that reveals the raw beauty of life's fleeting moments, capturing emotions, connections, and stories that often go unnoticed. Each click of the shutter freezes a unique experience, allowing us to relive those precious seconds forever. I can’t imagine doing anything else because photography gives me the incredible opportunity to celebrate the authenticity of my clients—whether it’s the joy of a baby’s first smile, the tender gaze between partners, or the radiant glow of a mother-to-be. It’s a privilege to create timeless memories that reflect the essence of who you are, and I’m passionate about preserving those beautiful, genuine moments for you to cherish always.
