Bring your FAMILY to
Bainland Lodge Retreats
So when two sisters, separated by miles but not by love, planned a long-awaited Easter escape with their mum, children, and partners — it wasn’t just a getaway. It was a moment that deserved to be remembered.
I had the joy of photographing their time together.
I’m Camila, a family photographer, and this is exactly the kind of story I love to tell: multigenerational, full of laughter and meaning, captured just as it happened. If you're heading to Bainland for a family celebration, reunion or a special stay, here's why you might want to consider booking me, too.

Because These Days Don't
Come Around Often
Between school runs, busy jobs, and the sheer logistics of gathering multiple generations under one roof, moments like this are rare.That’s why when they do happen, they’re worth remembering. Not just with selfies or quick snaps on your phone, but with photos that bring you back to how it felt: warm sun on your back, giggles from the kids, arms wrapped around one another.
Joyce, the mum of the two sisters
Said it Best:
“Camila's patience with my 4 grandchildren was exceptional, as they were allowed to totally relax, play, and even suggest ideas for her photographs. They thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and from the few photos I was fortunate to view early, I am so excited to see the finished product of my long awaited FAMILY pictures all together which rarely happens."
That’s what I aim for — a session that feels more like quality time, with the added bonus of photos you’ll treasure for decades.

What a Session
Looks Like
No stiff smiles. No forced poses. I gently guide things so we get the best light and some soft direction, but what matters most is how it feels.
My sessions are relaxed, natural, and designed for real connection. We might explore the space near your lodge, find a tucked-away corner of the woods, or just hang around while the little ones play and the grown-ups catch up.My camera works quietly, capturing the way your mum laughs when she looks at the kids, the way your sister pulls you in close for a hug, or how your little one climbs straight into grandad’s lap. It's honest, cinematic, and always full of feeling.

Not just photos BUT a time capsule!
I believe family photography should stir something in you. I want you to look back and feel it. The light, the energy, the quiet in-between bits. That’s what I try to preserve.
Every session includes:
- A relaxed 1–1.5 hour experience, on location at Bainland (or nearby)- A private online gallery with hand-edited, high-resolution images- A curated selection of digital images with the option to purchase more if you'd like- A gentle video as a bonus keepsake (something a little extra I love to include when the moment feels right)
