Hey! I’m Jodie! I’m the face behind knellyphoto and your friendly…

Warrnambool family photographer!

I’m so happy you’re here! If you’re in the hunt for a photographer you’ve come to the right place, hooray! I’ve captured hundreds of beautiful families and bubs since 2010 and I’m mad-passionate about it.

Just quietly, my super-power is my ability to make you feel comfy and at ease in front of my camera. Because, let’s face it, no one in their right mind loves getting their photo taken. My sessions are fun + loved up and I guarantee even hubby will enjoy himself.

I’m based in beautiful Warrnambool but I love to travel all around the South West of Vic and beyond, so hit me up!

Grab a cuppa, take a seat and feel free to browse my packages, check out my work, read kind words from my clients, and definitely drop me a line if you’re keen! I can’t wait to hear from you and get your gorgeous gang in front of my camera…

Kind words from happy clients

  • I cannot speak highly enough of Knelly photo! I was not only thrilled with our photos, but thoroughly enjoyed the session itself. Jodie made us feel comfortable and relaxed leading up to the day and the session was such a fun and memorable experience. I was initially hesitant to have photos taken but i am so glad i took the plunge and trusted Jodie. Her warmth, kindness, professionalism and genuine passion for her photography are a credit to her and i look forward to updating our gallery in the future!

  • Jodie makes it so very easy to create the kinds of memories that every family deserves to have captured, her sessions are heaps of fun and so easeful - even for the little ones! We are thrilled to have had Jodie document our special family through her incredible photography several times now and you just don't need to look anywhere else. Stunning work.

    Kirsty

  • So incredibly grateful for our amazing family photos. Jodie exceeded our expectations, capturing the natural interactions of our family as well as the wonder and beauty of one of our favourite places. Jodie is gifted at making the session fun and relaxed. It was such a positive experience for our children (and us!). We highly recommend Jodie and look forward to more sessions in the future!

  • Jodie was simply AMAZING, súper flexible, easy going and FUN! We had a great time during the session and the final product left us speechless. It was our first time doing a photo session but it won’t be the last one… so so worth it! Thank you Jodie!! We are absolutely in love with the photos.

    Angie

  • Once again I was amazed and in awe!!! Jodie has been taking our family photos since 2010. She is amazing. She manages to get even the grumpiest child to smile at 7am on a winters morning on the beach.... I love the fact she talks my husband and I into a few of just us, they are such amazing memories. Our walls are filled with canvases and frames all of which she has taken. She is just a gorgeous human and a joy to be around and that shows through the images she produces. I can see all my kids personalities shine through. Love love love your work

    Kirsty

  • Jodie takes amazing photos of families especially kids. You can tell that pretty quickly from her website, and we were totally blown away by our photos. They are truly spectacular. Jodie was great to deal with and the photo shoot was relaxed and fun. She had out 5 year old posing for her and our clingy 2 year old hugging her by the end. Highly recommend.

    Ruth

  • Jodie is brilliant at her job. I am so thrilled with our photos!! Going into the shoot I was extremely nervous but Jodie made us feel so comfortable and relaxed, the kids had an absolute ball on the beach. Highly recommend Knellyphoto!

    Lydia

  • Jodie is absolutely amazing!! She is so accommodating and makes you feel so comfortable during the shoot. My partner actually enjoyed himself, which is unheard-of as he hates getting his photo taken. I'm in love with all the photos and can't stop looking at them. 100% recommend, you will not be disappointed.

    Sarah

  • A miracle worker!! Do yourself a favour and book in, you won't be disappointed.

    Lyndell

  • Jodie is amazing. I have always refused to be photographed and when I had my first child I still felt very uncomfortable. Jodie was the first person in 10 years to make me feel comfortable in front of the camera. As my children grew they have become very energetic and boisterous. Jodie takes it all in her stride, never gets frustrated with them but embraces their special brand of crazy and produces amazingly beautiful photos of us. We have now been having our annual photos with her for 7 years and each time we travel back form Jakarta, she is always on our to do list. Our sessions now are just like catching up with a friend.

    Tristyn

  • Words can't quite express just how talented Jodie is, her photos on the other hand show exactly how incredible she is. We feel so very fortunate to have had Jodie in our home capturing all the love!

    Bec

  • We had the best day with Jodie. She’s amazing at what she does. Capturing special memories with my girls was important to me, as I don’t have many photos to look back on of myself and my mum, she’d always be the one behind the camera. Sadly I lost her to cancer so I don’t get the chance now to freeze any moments. So that is why I decided to do this session as I gift to my girls to have forever. We will definitely be back.

    Jenna

  • We've used Jodie twice now and both times the photos have been flawless. Superb quality and stunning photos. Jodie is amazing with newborns and toddlers and somehow manages to capture a beauty that you don't think is possible in yourself but she finds it!

    James

  • Jode is the most amazing family photographer we have ever worked with.... we have had several photo shoots with her now and her pure passion for what she does shines through not only in her beautiful shots but the entire time you are in her presence. I have and will continue to highly recommend her amazing talent to everyone!

    Sara

  • We were thrilled with our decision to have Jodie come and take our family photos, as the end result was fabulous! Jodie had much patience in dealing with so many of us, in spite of being such a large family group ( & including toddler tears, flies to swipe, and little feet that wouldn't stand still); she displayed her great experience in taking wonderful portraits/head shots as well as the larger groups, in various outdoor home settings. She had the ability to relate to the younger children as well as having a rapport with us older ones, which all contributed to some lovely photos, and great memories to keep. Highly Recommended.

Helping you freeze time at every precious stage of life

Whether you’re expecting your first baby, are keen to wrangle your teens or even your WHOLE family, or even just need to freshen up your online business profile i’d love to help you create memories to treasure for generations to come…

bumps & babies

Your most life-changing moments deserve to be captured. My baby photography is natural & candid, focused on the heartfelt moments, not posed shots. You might not feel your most glamorous when you’re pregnant but i’m yet to meet a mum who’s regretted having her beautiful bump captured. I have a range of packages to capture bub’s first year & create the perfect family heirlooms.

families
(big & small)

Being a mum, I understand the desire to capture your family in all its raw, crazy, rapidly-changing gorgeousness. Let's face it, none of us mums ever feel "photo-ready" and no dad's jump at the opportunity to get in front of the camera but I believe it’s so important to EXIST in photos, not for ourselves, but for our little ones to treasure in the future.

everything else!

Need some new business headshots, branding imagery or airbnb photos? I LOVE working with passionate small businesses, empowering women to get in front of the camera and showcasing your beautiful airbnb. I have a lovely light-filled studio here in Warrnambool or can meet you at your business or fave outdoor location.
