“Lachlan has a way of making you forget the camera is even there. What he captured for our family feels honest and deeply personal, moments we didn’t even realise were happening at the time. These are images we’ll hold onto for years.”

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.”

Honest stories, naturally told

Grounded Goods Creative is about documenting life as it truly unfolds — the quiet, unfiltered beauty found in everyday moments. From families gathered at home and children moving through golden paddocks, to the hands and intent behind a small business, each story is approached with care, patience, and honesty.

What began as a simple desire to document life on our land has grown into a space where creativity and connection meet. Just as we tend to seedlings in the nursery, I bring the same steady rhythm and attention into every photograph — allowing stories to unfold naturally, without force or expectation.

I offer family photography that feels relaxed and real, brand storytelling that connects values with people, and thoughtful social content that builds trust over time. Each session is guided by natural light, emotion, and a deep respect for place — shaped by the landscape and community we call home.

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

Family Photography

Family, to me, is not about posed smiles or perfect light. It’s about the fleeting moments that unfold in between.

The sun falling across the paddocks. Children running through tall grass. Laughter carried on the breeze. A hand resting on a shoulder, a muddy paw at your feet, light catching in someone’s hair. These are the moments I photograph — the ones that linger long after the day has passed.

I’m drawn to families who live close to the land, or those who quietly dream of it. Families who find beauty in the imperfect — dirt under small fingernails, gum leaves scattered across the verandah, the everyday rhythms that make a life feel full. My aim is to tell your story as it truly feels, honest and unguarded, grounded in warmth and belonging.

No two sessions are ever the same. Some begin in the garden, others by the dam or beneath the gums. There’s no rush and no expectation — just space to be together, to slow down, and to notice the details that are so easily missed. I guide gently, allowing your family’s natural rhythm to lead, while I quietly document what unfolds.

For me, photography is more than capturing an image. It’s about preserving the essence of a moment you can return to as the years move on — the land, the light, and the love that ties it all together.

Branding Photography

Behind every business is a heartbeat — a story shaped by vision, persistence, and purpose.

My branding photography is about documenting that story honestly, creating images that help your audience feel the intent behind your work, not just see it.

Over the years, I’ve worked with hospitality venues like Alfred & Constance, fashion brands including Afends, Wrangler, and Zulu & Zephyr, as well as capturing location and interior imagery for spaces such as The Station Studio.

Whether you’re a maker, grower, designer, or creative, your work carries a rhythm of its own. The early starts, the considered details, the quiet moments most people never see — this is where your story lives. I focus on documenting these elements in a way that feels natural and grounded, creating imagery that shows not only what you do, but why you do it.

Together, we’ll capture the atmosphere of your brand — the light across your space, the texture of your materials, the energy behind what you’ve built. The result is more than imagery. It’s connection. It’s trust. It’s storytelling that feels lived-in and real.
