Welcome to Little Magnolia Photography!

I’m Lorena, a natural light family, lifestyle and newborn photographer based in Newcastle, NSW. I’m a wife, a mum and adore my little family of three.
I grew up in Newcastle, lived in Sydney for a while but home called and I gladly came back. I know the Newcastle and Lake Macquarie areas well and love to use the beautiful landscapes as my backdrops.

My style of family photography is relaxed and natural. Lifestyle photography is about documenting moments in life. It’s about capturing connections and real emotion between families and people. I was inspired by my own wedding photographer back in 2007 when they told the story of our day through photographs. That was the start of my photography obsession! I was drawn to how beautifully that one day in my, and my husband’s life was told and I decided I want to capture simple moments in life without the awkward poses and cheesy smiles. I actually started out photographing inanimate objects like buildings and while I have some beautiful photos that I’m really proud of, I have been drawn to people and grabbing a little sneak peak of their life. It’s a lot more fun! I adore candid photography that tells a story and shows true emotion.

Lifestyle family, maternity, newborn and pet photography are my areas of passion. It brings me joy to be capture simple moments in life. Little Magnolia Photography was born because I want to share that joy with you. I want you to smile and feel a little flutter of excitement when you see the images I have captured for you.

Natural light lifestyle photography is my specialty. I capture people (and pets) enjoying life and enjoying each other. Sleepy newborns, cute little kids, crazy pets, people in love. I like to capture fleeting moments that are gone in an instant.

I’d love to meet you to create your story through photographs. Thanks for stopping by.
