About me

Hi, I’m Karey – founder of Verse Photography.

With more than 25 years in the photography industry, I lead a team specialising in candid, child-led photography for families, kindergartens and childcare services across Melbourne.

We capture real personalities – not just photographs.

We don’t expect kids to perform for the camera or fit into a mould of what they “should” do. Instead, we meet them where they’re at.

That might mean a bit of silliness, lots of movement and sometimes a little bit of chaos – and we embrace all of it.

Because those natural, unscripted moments are often the ones that capture who your child really is.

Whether you’re a parent booking a family session or a centre director organising photography for your kindergarten or childcare service, you’ll get the same Verse approach.

It’s relaxed, child-led, genuinely enjoyable for the kids and parents and easy for you to organise.

Because the photos you’ll treasure most aren’t necessarily the perfectly posed ones.

They’re the ones that look real.
