    Cara was amazing from start to finish — coordinating three families (my brother, sister, and I, along with all of our kids) with such calm, friendly professionalism. Organising a group that size can easily become chaotic, but Cara made it feel effortless. She had a natural way of making everyone feel comfortable and knew exactly how to guide us without anything feeling staged. The kids responded so well to her, and she somehow managed to capture those candid, genuine moments that really show who we are as a family. The photos—wow. The golden light at sundown, the Point Peron backdrop, and Cara’s eye for detail all came together perfectly. Every shot was filled with warmth and connection, and we’ll honestly treasure these images for years to come. If you’re after someone who can beautifully capture the chaos and love of a big family, look no further. Cara was brilliant and brought such a fun relaxed vibe, we all had an absolute blast during the photoshoot.

    Cara went above & beyond to make me feel comfortable & happy during our photo shoot. Cara is such a beautiful person with a great eye for attention to detail and really puts you at ease as these things can sometimes be quite daunting. She listened to what I wanted and made the experience fun whilst being extremely professional. I am so thrilled with the end product/s!

    Highly recommend - 5/5 stars

    Cara did an incredible job photographing our dog treat branding! Her ability to capture the perfect shots—both of our products and the adorable uncooperative pups—was beyond impressive. The photos were full of personality, exactly what we needed for our marketing. Cara is professional, patient, and clearly passionate about her work. She made the morning a fun and entertaining event! Highly recommend for anyone looking for top-notch pet and product photography!

    I recently organised an awkward photo shoot with my husband and Cara from Salty Sunsets. Honestly we have never laughed so hard. Cara was open to ideas and suggestions and came with a host of fun concepts for us to play with. Cara is so versatile, professional and so good at capturing the moments. Couldn’t be happier.

    We cannot recommend Cara enough! Our family shoot was absolutely fantastic! Hiring Cara as a friend and with all intention to support a new local business was the best decision we made out of a large pool of photographers. Cara made the photo shoot incredibly fun and memorable and our photos provided to us were so beautiful! We have 3 beautiful girls, one being a toddler, Cara knew exactly what to do to make it fun and keep our toddler engaged. Cara is personal and professional all in one! Thank you Cara for capturing photos we can have for a lifetime.

    We had the absolute pleasure of having Cara photograph my son and his friends before their Year 12 Ball, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She didn’t just take stunning photos—she captured precious, once-in-a-lifetime moments that we’ll treasure forever. Cara went above and beyond in every possible way. She brought a calm, warm energy to the group, and her professionalism shone through. But what truly set her apart was how she guided the young men—not just on posing for the camera, but on how to carry themselves with confidence and grace throughout the evening. Her words of encouragement and subtle coaching gave them an extra boost of self-assurance, and it made such a difference in how they approached the event. Thank you, Cara, for being more than just a photographer. You were a mentor, a cheerleader, and a true artist behind the lens. We are so grateful.

    Cara at Salty Sunsets Photography is awesome. So very professional and full of such great ideas. Such fun to work with and the photography first class. I have used Cara 3 times in my Pilates Studio and she never disappoints. Highly recommend Salty Sunsets Photography.

    Thank you Cara for the beautiful photos you took of our family for my Mum's 70th birthday. I would highly recommend you to anyone wanting a professional photographer who is great with kids of all ages.

    Thank you so much 😊

    Cara was awesome on our big wedding day, hustling us through the photos and capturing the moments well. With the limited time and a couple of things coming unstuck, she made sure she captured the big moments and some quieter beautiful smaller moments as well.

    We would highly recommend Cara to anyone.

    Loved our family photo shoot with Cara. She made the time fun and her photos are so beautiful. I'd absolutely recommend Salty Sunsets to anyone.

Hi I’m Cara,

And I am so happy you are here!

“I love people, I love the chaos that comes with them, and I love the laughter that usually follows — especially the loud, unfiltered kind.

Photography lets me dive right into all of that and capture the moments that feel real, messy, and wonderfully human."
