Services
I am a current member of the AIPP and an award winning newborn, children's and family photographer specialising in posed and creative photography. I offer one on one (in person) and small group workshops (1-3 people) to photographers who are already working with newborns and have started businesses.
It is never too early to book your newborn photo session so please book while you are still expecting to guarantee a session. Because I also offer other types of photography sessions, I have bookings sometimes up to 1 year in advance. I take on a limited number of newborn photo sessions per week to allow for the fact that some babies arrive early and some arrive late.

Very poor communication, Verity has some attitude alright. I have read comments about this issue but didn't take it seriously. I thought as along as the photos' good, that's all matters. However just during the conversation about which package I can choose from and some details about the photography day, she gets really offended by my simple questions. I understand that if you are skilful you can have some attitude but I don't think you should with this business. I came to her with high expectations and left really disappointed.

Thankyou so much Verity for capturing these special moments for our family. Its so nice to finally have some photos of us all together. We recently had a family photo shoot done and had so much fun doing it. The kids felt so comfortable with you. The photos and memories made are so wonderful and will be treasured forever. Thanks for making this such a great experience. You are a very talented photographer. Thanks again

We had photos done recently of my daughter who is 6, I hired Verity because I had such confidence in her work to be able to capture the beautiful innocence of Ella. She allowed us to use her gorgeous gowns and dresses for the session and she just knew exactly how to get Ella to work well to achieve what I can only describe as breath taking photos that not only I will cherish but she will and her future children. Verity’s experience and knowledge of photography is second to none. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to capture this memories as perfectly as she has.

Terrible Experience! Verity is a talented photographer & her work is beautiful but sadly that’s where the good things end. She was unclear on pre-shoot instructions, ran an extremely rushed outdoor photo session not giving reasonable time for preparations & had no good props/outfits to offer. Again ran a pressured viewing session, giving us an ultimatum to make a decision for photos worth $650+ on the spot within 30 mins or else to leave it. She seems emotionally unfit to run a business - one moment she is fine & next moment she gets into rude, abrupt, defensive tone. She is arrogant, can not

A few weeks ago I decided that I wanted to give my Father who was over from Poland a very special gift, I wanted a lasting photograph of Him with myself and his two grandchildren, 10 & 6 years old to take back to Europe with him to have lasting memories of us, we rarely see him due to the distance.
I chose Verity purely based on her talent and skillset, I don’t see Verity’s amazing work as photographs or see her as a photographer, I see her work as pure Art work and her to be an artist in her profession.
She recommended having photos taken in the Mount Lofty Gardens to capture that European

Having previously been in the photography business I have followed and admired Verity's work for many years and adore her style of photography. When I saw that she offered styled photo sessions for young girls I jumped at the chance for her to photograph my daughter. My daughter was nearly 8 years old at the time of the session and I knew I only had a narrow window of time that she would still be happy to dress in pretty dresses :). I'm so pleased I took this opportunity as the resulting images are absolutely stunning!
Prior to the session Verity spend time advising us of outfit choices and suggesting

Verity from My Only Sunshine Photography was amazing!
Very professional and made the experience from start to finish very easy.
Her photos are just stunning and anyone who sees the photos of my daughter that Verity took are blown away.
Would definitely recommend My Only Sunshine Photography to anyone looking for gorgeous photos of their baby or children.

I stumbled on My Only Sunshine while looking for a photographer for the recent arrival of our little one (our first.)
I didn't have any preconceived ideas of what I wanted for our little one's photos but when I saw the gallery, immediately what caught my eye was the whimsical innocence of the photos and the unique approach for each child.
As a first time parent, I was nervous about taking a 9 day old baby out when I/we were still very new to parenthood, but the support, guidance and patience we received during our session made the process so easy.
I was very impressed with their commitment to
