"I'm crying... These images are beautiful" Tegan, Ballarat
Hey, welcome, I'm Jay! Thanks for stopping by.
I’m a photographer based in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia, specialising in family and pet photography. While I’m passionate about capturing personal moments, I’m also open to corporate and branding photography. My sessions are client-led, creating a relaxed and natural atmosphere that brings out the best in every shot.
​
I have lots of props and toys for the children to use (or play with while they warm up to me as a stranger), you can also feel free to bring your own favourite things. I’m also open to families bringing their pets to the family session at no extra cost.
​​
You may also see I am a little bit different to some other photographers. I don't share photos of my own children online, and I was hesitant when creating a portfolio as this may seem limiting. My families still receive a full gallery of their own children, however to keep all children safe; all portfolio images posted on my website and on social media will not be of children's front face profile.
​​
I have experience with neurodivergent children and disability so I see myself as very patient and kind.

If you are after corporate shots, please view my packages and contact me to discuss your requirements or book via the booking form.

I could not recommend Jailea Photography & Design more. The Easter photos taken of my kids were beyond beautiful and we had so much fun taking them! Very easy to deal with right from the start, from booking in a time and location to delivery of the photos. Thank you so much!

We absolutely love every single photo from Jailea photography! She did such an incredible job getting the most beautiful photos of our 3 kids, including our neurodivergent son who hates photos! Highly recommend!!

Absolutely loved our experience with Jailea Photography. She was so patient with our wild 2 year old and our diva 5 year old. And our images are just beautiful.
