Honest stories, naturally told

Grounded Goods Creative is about capturing life in its truest form — the real, unfiltered beauty found in everyday moments. From families gathered at home and children running through golden paddocks, to the hands and heart behind a small business, every story deserves to be told with honesty and care.

What began as a simple love for documenting life on our land has grown into a space where creativity and connection come together. Just as we nurture seedlings in the nursery, I bring that same attention, patience, and grounded rhythm into every image I create.

I offer family photography that feels relaxed and real, brand storytelling that connects your values to your audience, and honest social media content that builds genuine trust. Every session is shaped by natural light, emotion, and the quiet beauty of this region we call home.

If you’re drawn to imagery that feels raw, warm, and rooted in story and soil, I’d love to create something meaningful together.

“Working with Lachlan is an absolute delight. His photography is both artful and deeply intentional. The way he shoots feels thoughtful, capturing not just a moment in time but the emotion and atmosphere within it.”

Kristina T.

“Lachlan has a great eye for detail and a creative flair in his photography style. He has captured photos of our family during three important milestones in our lives and the reason we keep coming back is because he is great with kids and has a calm and kind-natured presence making it easy to feel comfortable.”

Family Photography

Family to me is not about posed smiles or perfect light — it’s about the real, fleeting moments that happen between them.
The sun falling across the paddocks, your children chasing one another through tall grass, the quiet rhythm of laughter echoing through the hills. A hand resting on a shoulder, a muddy paw at your feet, the golden light catching in someone’s hair. These are the moments I photograph. The ones that linger long after the day ends.

I focus on families who live close to the land — or those who dream of it. Those who find beauty in the imperfect, in the dirt under small fingernails, in gum leaves scattered across the verandah. I want to tell your story as it really feels, honest and raw, grounded in warmth and belonging.

Every family session is different. Some begin in the garden, others by the dam or under the gums. There’s no rush, no expectation — just time to be together, to slow down and notice the details that so often slip by. My role is to guide gently, to let the natural rhythm of your family lead the way, while I quietly document it all.

For me, photography is more than just capturing an image — it’s preserving the essence of a moment you can return to when the years have moved on. The land, the light, and the love that ties it all together.

Branding Photography

Behind every small business is a heartbeat — a story of hard work, vision, and purpose.

My branding photography is about capturing that story honestly, so your audience can feel the same passion that drives you every day.

Whether you’re a grower, maker, or creative, your work tells a story. The early mornings, the dirt on your hands, the details that most people never see — that’s where the magic is. I focus on documenting these moments in a way that feels natural and grounded, creating images that show not only what you do but why you do it.

Why Choose Grounded Goods?

When you work with me, you are not just booking a photoshoot. You are choosing someone who sees the world through story, soil and light. I understand the rhythm of family life, the quiet pride of small business and the beauty found in the everyday moments that often go unnoticed.

My approach is slow and considered, shaped by a deep respect for people and place. Whether I’m documenting your family, your work or your land, my goal is to create imagery that feels alive, human and deeply connected to where you are.

Every photograph is made with the same care and intention that goes into tending our garden — patient, grounded and real.
