Women in Business: Celebrating Female Photographers Who Balance Motherhood and Entrepreneurship

Women in business inspire me every single day. However, female photographers who are also mums? They operate on an entirely different level.

They build brands during nap times. They edit after bedtime. They show up for clients while raising future leaders at home. And they do it with resilience, creativity, and heart.

Today, I want to spotlight four incredible women in business who balance motherhood and entrepreneurship with intention and strength.

Julie-Anne | Yeppoon Wedding Photographer and Mum of Five

Julie-Anne of Julie-Anne Photography is a wedding photographer based in Yeppoon. She is also a mum to five boys. Yes, five.

She is one of the calmest people I have ever met. Her presence feels steady and grounding. That calm energy carries directly into her wedding photography.

We created her brand session at View On Wiseman, a beautiful Airbnb in Rockhampton. During the session, we intentionally styled three different looks for her new website. We captured a formal look to reflect her professionalism as a Yeppoon wedding photographer. Then we styled a mid-formal outfit to balance warmth and authority. Finally, we photographed a relaxed, casual look that showed the heart behind her brand.

Julie-Anne pours passion into her clients. As a mum of five, she understands emotion deeply. That perspective shapes her storytelling and makes her work timeless.

She truly represents women in business who lead with both strength and grace.

Sylvia Dalberg | Townsville Portrait and Wedding Photographer

Sylvia Dalberg of Sylvia Dalberg Photography is a portrait and wedding photographer in Townsville on the Australian East Coast. She is also a mum to two small children.

Because she lives and works in the tropics, we chose the beach for her brand session. The ocean backdrop reinforced her Townsville photography brand and highlighted her connection to the coastal lifestyle.

She brought two blue dresses that aligned perfectly with her brand colours. That consistency elevated her visual identity immediately.

Sylvia balances raising young children while building her photography business in Townsville. That stage of motherhood requires energy and focus. Yet she shows up with clarity and confidence.

She is proof that women in business can thrive even in the busiest seasons of life.

Kait Jensen | Chicago Wedding and Branding Photographer

Kait Jensen of Kait Jensen Photography is a Chicago-based wedding and branding photographer and a mum of four.

We met at a brand photography retreat in Florida. During one of the product shoot rotations, I began capturing Kait behind the scenes as she styled and photographed products. I also photographed portraits of her during the retreat.

Kait runs a successful Chicago wedding photography business. At the same time, she is expanding into branding photography and coaching. She continues to grow her impact while raising four children.

Seeing her use the images across her social media and branding website meant so much to me. That is what women in business do. We support. We collaborate. We elevate each other.

Sarah Anderson | Mackay Photographer Creating Signature Studio Sessions

Sarah Anderson of Sarah Anderson Creative is a photographer based in Mackay and a mum of three boys.

We have had the privilege of photographing each other’s families. That mutual trust says everything.

Sarah is now shifting her focus and creating Signature Studio Sessions for pregnant women in Mackay. She carries such a strong vision for empowering women during motherhood. I believe so deeply in her mission that I proudly offer my studio space to support her sessions.

She truly embodies women in empowerment. She pours into the women of Mackay and creates an environment where they feel seen, strong, and celebrated.

I have also had the pleasure of photographing behind-the-scenes content for her and assisting during sessions. Watching her guide pregnant women with confidence and care is powerful.
