Mornington Peninsula + Melbourne Family, Maternity and Newborn Photographer

Gently guided.

Deeply felt.

Honestly yours.

No pressure.

No perfect.

For families who want to remember how it felt, not just how it looked.

Hi, I’m Bek…

Bek Byrne of Captured by Bek Photography sitting and smiling

I am a photographer for families of all kinds, in all seasons of life— maternity, newborn, and family sessions, from new parents to grown children and generations coming back together.

The chaos, the calm, the in-between moments that somehow become everything.

My sessions are relaxed, a little playful, and gently guided so nothing feels forced.

Just real connection, soft light, and carefully edited images that feel warm, natural, and true to your story.

I am so happy you’re here…

  • “Bek shows up with her camera, her little rug and her calming influence and she creates magic! She captured a solo maternity photo session for me, and I could not be more happy with these photos. A truly gorgeous way to commemorate my last pregnancy. She also did a newborn family photo session for us once our little one had arrived. She once again worked her magic, put everyone at ease in front of the camera, and managed to capture the most beautiful family and newborn photos while we were just playing in the forest and on the beach. Our photos are amazing! Bek was so lovely to work with. She gave helpful advice on location and what to wear, and she was flexible when the weather did not look good for our intended day. She has given us the most beautiful family memories which we will treasure for a lifetime. Thank you Bek!”

They adored her. It was such a wonderful bonding activity for the four of us. As for the actual photo’s. I am blown away. They were everything I had hoped for and more! I can’t wait to put them up in our home. I’ll be forever grateful to you Bek, and I will cherish these photo’s forever, and then some more. Thank you. A million times, thank you!”

  • “Bek is the absolute best!! We had a maternity and newborn shoot and thanks to Bek they are moments I will treasure forever. The photos are stunning and Bek was amazing at making us all feel comfortable and getting the best smiles out of the little ones. Her communication was clear and friendly at all times and so helpful with wardrobe advice too. I can’t wait to book her in again!”

  • "We met Bek for our maternity shoot and although we were both nervous, she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. There was never any pressure to pose or perform. We forgot she was even there at times and were able to be ourselves. I felt so empowered through my photoshoot and with my belly. Bek then came and did our home newborn shoot with our 4 week old twin boys. Again it was so comforting to have a familiar person in our home setting and allowed us to be ourselves and go about our daily routine with the boys. She captured our love and happiness towards our boys so naturally and even got some stunning photos of our first baby, our fur baby. We look forward to Bek capturing us as a growing family and watching the boys grow together."

  • "We've had 3 photoshoots now with Bek and each and everytime we are amazed with the photos we get back. She is so crazy talented but also one of the nicest people. With 2 kids under 5 we are always stressed with how they'll be during shoots but Bek always makes them feel comfortable and confident, Which results in the most beautiful photos and memories. Cannot recommend Captured By Bek enough!"

    - Danielle R

  • "Where do I even begin?! I had been following Bek’s work for a little while and I just knew when the time was right, she had to be the one to capture our first family photos. And I am so HAPPY we did! On a cold winters afternooon, a very unsettled little one, she nailed the brief 100%. She was so patient and calm and managed to get absolutely BEAUTIFUL photos of our family. I couldn’t be happier with our album! I can’t recommend her highly enough! We have already booked our next shoot and cannot wait!"

    - Angelina R

  • "Bek is so lovely, a warm and kind energy who created a supportive space for me in my motherhood photoshoot. The photos turned out beautifully, exceeded expectations and met my brief of wanting to be natural and not so posed, capturing special moments at just the right time. I am so grateful, highly recommend and cannot wait for our newborn session!"

    - Karolina

  • "Thank you Bek for the most amazing photography session, if you’re looking for a family photographer she’s your gal!

We look forward to our session again next year!"

  • “Bek is the best! She is fun to work with, my kids love her and even my partner gets comfortable behind the camera when she takes our photos. I've had multiple different photoshoots with Bek and I have to say, there is no one out there like her. 1 trillion stars.”

    - Bridie A

  • “We recently had family photos taken and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Bek was so calm and patient, especially with the kids, which made the whole session feel relaxed and enjoyable rather than stressful. She had such a gentle way about her that helped everyone feel comfortable, and it really shows in the beautiful, natural photos she captured. We’re so grateful for these special memories and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who is wonderful with children.”

  • “I honestly could not recommend Bek enough. I’ve been lucky enough to do multiple shoots with Bek. I was so nervous our first shoot considering my partner and I usually hate being in photos 😂 but from the moment we got there Beks energy was incredible. She made us feel so calm and comfortable in front a camera which I didn’t think was possible! Not only did she capture some absolutely stunning photos, we had such an amazing time doing it. By the time the second shoot came around, Bek was amazing in accomodating us (we all got sick multiple times) and she managed to rearrange everything for us to get the shoot done when we wanted too. The shoot was so much fun because we knew what to expect and I genuinely just love being around her. Thank you Bek and I can’t wait for the next one 😍”

  • “Bek has taken out family photos from when our first baby was 4weeks old. Now 3 years later & another baby joining us, Bek has continued to blow us away with her mini sessions. The quality of photos & realness she captures is incredible. The sessions are relaxed, comfortable & Bek just has a way with capturing a family spirit. Thank you for capturing our rainbow family Bek 🏳️‍🌈 ❤️”

    - Luisa F

  • “The whole experience with Bek was amazing, from the communication during booking to her warm presence whilst capturing photos of our baby girl and prompt delivery of our gallery. I can’t recommend Bek enough. We absolutely love her work and will cherish these pictures forever. Forever grateful xxx”

    - Brooke S

  • “Bek is phenomenal! She managed to capture our family as we are and this really showed in our gorgeous photos. Our photos are STUNNING and everything we could have hoped for. Her ability to find a picturesque location down where we live (Mornington Peninsula) was second to none and throughout the shoot we felt completely comfortable and at ease. Bek’s easy manner allowed her to photograph our girls (2.5 years and 7 months) and capture their personalities perfectly. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Bek, we could not be any happier and will 100% come back for more.”

    - Hannah H

  • “I've had at least 5 sessions with Bek now (maybe more) and I can honestly say she is the best in the biz. She has such a calm presence which makes the sessions so enjoyable - always something that I genuinely look forward to. She takes the most stunning natural photos, capturing your family in ways that you wouldn't think of, but it always works out so beautifully. I am always happy to put 100% trust in her and know that she'll create magical photos for me and my family. Looking forward to my next session!”

The photos are absolutely beautiful and we are so grateful that she captured these memories that we can treasure forever.
