CAPTURING HOW LIFE FEELS…

not just how it looks

hey there

I’m Chantel McAlister

A professional photographer for over the last decade, my nomadic lifestyle has allowed me to witness live, love and connection in all of it’s beautiful forms right across Australia. I have spent my life divided equally between living in rural Australia in some of the most remote communities and where I am based now, right here in the heart of Brisbane, Queensland.

I have lived a few lives as a photographer, starting out as a sheep and wool photographer, onto families and weddings and more recently adding photography coaching to my services.

As someone who has always felt deeper and relished relationships of all kinds, I am here to document the life and loves you have in your own world.

Little lives, tiny moments and big events - they all matter. They all deserve to be immortalised and never allowed to be a memory that slowly fades around the edges.

THE MAIN CHARACTER in your story is you.

Let’s capture it!

The perfect time for you to update your family photos is right now.

Life changes with no consideration for how you look, where you home is or how much money is in the bank. Document it now, when it really matters.

CLIENT LOVE

“I love my photos so much! I have always been the one taking photos of my family and this is the first time I have been in any photos other than a selfie since my third child came along. I can’t thank you enough for everything you have done for us, I really needed this to remind me that I am loved. I am good mum. ”

ROMANTICISE

your life

Your world and the people in it are the most important. I am a big believer in making a massive deal out of the everyday and the big life events alongside them. Romanticise your life through your photos, it is your story after all.
