About me!
Hi guys, i am lou! i am a mama of 3 and wife to my husband dave!
AnD a fur baby mama to my wild golden retriever hank!
harrison is my eldest, he is 11! Hazel is my middle, she is 9! Hallie is my youngest and she is 6!
We live on the sunny gold coast in qld, australia!
In 2019 I started my personal/influencer instagram page and blog @_lifewithlou_ ! I love insta so much as my creative outlet. I can share products & businesses I adore as well as my personal motherhood journey and struggles and my mental health journey and share and provide awareness on issues and diagnosis many struggle with – however it being still (in 2025) such a taboo topic and also help other mamas going through similar struggles.
I also absolutely love photographing my family, especially making fun and creative content. And capturing memories as they grow – so so quickly!
This is what kick started my photography journey and made me fall in love with my camera. I loved capturing all of those moments during our journey and wanted to be able to capture similar for other families as well.
I live and breath motherhood. My motherhood journey has shaped me to be the person, mother and adult I have grown in to today. It has pushed me into interests and careers I never would have once considered. Every little moment, memory and milestone is so special and it deserves to be captured. I am so honoured to be able to do this for you!
I also used to have a sewing business, Little Haze. This was completely inspired by my first daughter Hazel, I adore all things handmade and vintage! I have some of my old pieces in my client wardrobe! This was my first creative journey.
I love to collaborate with businesses and creatives a like on both pages! If you have a creative idea – bring it to me. I would love to try and help you to bring it to life! You can contact me via my contact page – or even better, reach out to me directly on Instagram!
I also love styling my home! I will often blog each
update, and I love to give them regular refreshes; just to keep them fun and inviting for the kids!
(And to give me something fun to work on as well!).
We are currently renovating our home which is a lot of fun, and a lot of STRESS!
I also love to share my favourite products with you and please note that whilst some products are sponsored; I only ever share products I truely love and recommend. So you can be assured that if you see an item or product on my blog or instagram…
I really LOVE it!
And i’m very honest when something doesn’t work well, or I really don’t recommend it! I am an open and very honest book!
ALL photography is my own – and the images of myself are taken with the help of my tripod/my husband or my now 11 year old son Harrison! He is quite the budding photographer! (He definitely caught my creative gene)!
I can’t wait to share my journey with you and thank you for following along!
