Jade Quinlivan Photography

Meet the photographer

I know what it feels like to look back at a photo and be immediately transported straight back into a moment. The salty curls. The gap-toothed smile. The way they fit so perfectly in your arms. The way they look at you like you're their whole entire world. That’s the stuff I care about capturing. I’m Jade – a Gold Coast family and newborn photographer, mum of two and probably the least naturally photogenic person you’ll ever meet. Which is exactly why my sessions are built differently. You do not need to know how to pose. Your kids do not need to sit still. And your session does not need to feel stiff, awkward or perfectly curated to create beautiful real photos. My approach is relaxed, emotive and connection-led. I’m not chasing perfection, I’m chasing feeling. The real laughs, the chaos, the quiet moments in between. The things you’ll long to return to. Whether we’re wandering along the beach at sunset, exploring a creek or documenting the beautiful, crazy, chaos of life at home, I want your gallery to feel like you. Honest, warm, a little wild and full of heart. These aren’t just photos for now. They’re for the future versions of you who will one day look back and realise just how beautiful this chapter really was.
