let me tell your love story.

Hi, I'm isabelle


  • One-stop-shop of relief and ease when planning your portrait session - dress and styling all sorted for you
  • Soft & airy photographs that stand the test of time
  • Flowers, beach and all the dreamy, beautiful colourful gifts from Mother Nature
  • Glowing skin tones no matter if you are white, olive or copper-skinned 
  • Photographs that freeze the season of life, bringing you back nostalgic memories that would otherwise just blend into all the other moments that fly by.

I’m your girl if you love:

I'M GLAD YOU ASKED!

so... how is hikari different?

When booking me as your photographer, it's not just light and airy photos I deliver, it's the entire experience, tailored for you. My biggest passion is to guide all my beautiful clients from picking a dream location, hair, makeup and wardrobe, to creating timeless artwork to display in your home and pass down for generations to come.

Having photos taken can be a vulnerable position to be in for some; I will guide you for every step of the way to make you feel at ease and achieve the portraits of your dreams, even if it's your first time. It is my job to guide you into natural poses that photograph easily. My relaxed style captures the connection of your loved ones in a way that feels authentic to you. Often times, the dad/hubby/fiancé even says after the shoot, "Hey that was actually really fun!" Kids walk away with big smiles after all the fun and games they've had with me.

I will spend time scouting and searching the locations for you, ranging from romantic fields of flowers to smooth and serene beaches or lush fields with a backdrop of breathtaking mountains. 

Come on this adventure with me! I’ll guide you through every step and deliver a luxury experience and fine art to you. The experience will be smooth and relaxed, with gorgeous photos to follow. That's my promise to you.

Thank you Isabelle for taking the most beautiful family photos for us! You were absolutely amazing and patient with making sure all three of my children were comfortable and happy the whole time. The photos turned out even better than I could have imagined! These will be hanging in our hallway for many years to come. I would highly recommend Hikari Lifestyle Photography to anyone considering getting some photos done!" - The Lloyd-Morgan Family

Few days back we had the chance to have a family photoshoot with Izzy - beautiful girl inside and out. I have no words to describe how wonderful the whole experience was. She is just an amazing, talented, kind, warm person. I just love her photography style - very warm, fairy-like, pleasant. Having a family photoshoot for our little family of 3 was a dream come true. Just wanted to thank you beautiful Izzy for this. Our photos turned out to be magical. I highly recommend Hikari Lifestyle Photography and also looking forward to another photoshoot with my extended family!

"Issy made two very awkward adults and a fussy 3 month old look absolutely stunning despite the mud and rain while at the Kalbar Sunflower Festival. She made us feel very comfortable and gave great directions while shooting. Our short time together was a terrific experience, you wouldn't even pick that we were battling the cold, rain and crying baby! I usually dislike photos taken of me, but I am so in love with each and every picture we received. I couldn't recommend a photographer more. A master at her craft." - Eva

"Isabelle did both our maternity photos and newborn family photos and provided us with beautiful photos which we will always cherish. She made the whole experience easily and effortless, which is exactly what you want when you are pregnant/have a newborn. From posing to bringing everything to our home including a maternity dress for me to wear and a coffee to help us look alive! As an added bonus Isabelle was not only great with our baby, she was amazing with our dog and got very cute photos of her as well. I think our dog wanted to go home with her! I would highly recommend Isabelle for any family and maternity photos and to capture those special moments."  -- Tiarnah

"Cannot recommend Izzy and Yoshi more! They made our 17m old feel like an absolute superstar and focussed on keeping it fun and relaxed so she was comfortable and happy. They didn't even care when she started to have toddler tantrums and just gave her some space to have her feelings. The photos were beyond stunning and all our family cannot wait for us to print them copies. So glad to have found such amazing family photographer and can't wait for our next family photoshoot with our twins as a family of 5." -- Jacqui

"We met Isabelle at the pier and right away felt relaxed because she had set up a little area for us, brought 2 maternity dresses from her client closet and was ready to go. she was so patient when our baby was getting upset and didn't rush us, allow us time to parent. We were so comfortable around her. Within a few days we already had some sneak peek photos sent through and not long after we had the full gallery and they were so beautiful. I can't wait to have them on display in our home. The colours are so soft and perfect. The online platform that they are sent through with is so so easy to download the photos from and you can pick which ones to print. Really easy to use. Thank you Isabelle for capturing these perfect little memories for us." -- Rileigh 

"We were absolutely blown away by our maternity shoot photos. Thank you so much Isabelle for capturing this special time in our lives so perfectly. Your direction and skill behind the camera was amazing, you made us feel confident and the results were beautiful. You really are talented, and we could see how much you love what you do! We can't wait for our newborn shoot!!" -- Mel & Onur

"When I contacted Izzy I was just after a few pre-formal photos of my daughter with family. What Izzy provided was unbelievably stunning and far beyond what I was expecting. And I am not just talking about the photos, I mean the whole experience from first contact to receiving the pictures. Izzy was completely professional, prompt in her communication, went over and above to accommodate (her style guide is amazing!) and was just a pleasure all round to deal with. Her photos speak for just how amazingly talented she is. She will be my first and only choice for family pics from now on." -- The Sheck Family
