Mums, when was the last time you had a photo with your kids? Not a quick selfie… but a beautiful image capturing you and them, now – just as it is?

Because we know this rarely happens. It's normally us mums taking the photos.

Jessie Walker’s Mother’s Day Minis are designed to change that – giving mums a relaxed, affordable way to step in front of the camera and capture the connection they share with their children.

And the best part? While these sessions are more affordable, you still get all the things that make Jessie one of the Coast’s most-loved photographers:

• Full access to her stunning client wardrobe, with beautiful gowns for mums and coordinated pieces for little ones
• A thoughtfully styled set using Jessie’s own props and vision (see photos below).
• Her calm, patient approach (she’s a former primary school teacher and mum of three, so she truly gets kids)
• The same natural, heartfelt editing style she’s known for

Why families love Jessie Walker’s photo sessions

Our Playing in Puddles family has had photos taken by Jessie Walker, and we can hand on heart say she makes the whole experience feel incredibly easy – and the images are absolutely stunning.

Jessie’s gentle approach means nothing feels rushed, even in a mini session. She takes the time to help everyone settle, creating those natural, connected moments.

Her sessions include access to her client wardrobe – and it’s an absolute standout. Many mini sessions don’t offer this, but Jessie provides stunning gowns for mums and beautifully coordinated pieces for little ones. You don’t need to worry about styling; she helps pull everything together so your photos look timeless and cohesive.

Jessie is also a former primary school teacher and a mum of three, so she completely understands kids. Many aspects of her teaching career play a vital role in her photography – working with families and children has given her the skills to keep sessions calm, natural and pressure-free. She’s great at gently guiding kids to play and be themselves, helping everyone relax and drawing out those truly beautiful, natural smiles – the kind that capture their personality perfectly.

And, we never thought we’d have to say this, but importantly, what you see in these images above is absolutely what you’ll get. Every photo you see is Jessie’s own work. She personally sources props and styles each set so everything is set up exactly as shown. No surprises, no guesswork – just honest, beautiful photography. Sadly, we’ve heard some pretty wild stories about photographers using AI-generated images or even other people’s photos to promote sessions… which is, well… not great. Jessie keeps things real and our trust high.

But more than anything, these sessions are about something simple and meaningful. A chance to step into the frame, hold your babies close, and capture this season before it slips by.

Meet Jessie Walker – Central Coast Maternity, Newborn and Family Photographer


If you’ve come across Jessie before, you’ll know she’s known for her beautiful maternity, newborn and family photography across the Central Coast. Her style leans soft, earthy and timeless – with a focus on genuine connection rather than overly posed images.

Jessie photographs everything from pregnancy through to newborn and family sessions, all designed to capture those fleeting stages as your family grows. Sessions can take place in her Toukley studio or outdoors in natural light, depending on the look you love.

If you love her minis, you'll be excited to hear she also does milestone mini sessions, family minis and seasonal mini shoots – including her very popular Christmas minis at her Toukley Studio and Dural Christmas Tree Farm – they always sell out.

The client closet families love


One of Jessie’s biggest standouts is her incredible client closet – and it’s a big reason her images look so cohesive and polished.

Jessie has curated a beautiful collection of flowing gowns for mums, along with coordinated pieces for babies, children and even a growing menswear range. Everything is designed to work together seamlessly, so you don’t have to stress about outfits or colour palettes.

The best part? Access to the client wardrobe is included with your session. Jessie helps guide styling choices so the final look feels natural, timeless and completely effortless. It also means no last-minute shopping, no outfit changes in the car, and no worrying about whether everything matches.


Jessie’s calm, guided approach combined with her styling options is what helps create those relaxed, connected images families come back for again and again.
