Meet the Photographer

Hi, I'm Kj

The heart behind Schinella Photogrpahy

 

 

Capturing the beauty, connection and fleeting moments of motherhood and family life.

A little about me

I'm a wife, a mum to my beautiful son and a lover of all things natural and heartfelt.


Photography has always been more than a passion for me - it's how I freeze the moments that matter most and turn them into memories we can hold onto forever.


I believe in the magic of real connection, the beauty in simplicity and the importance of slowing down to appreciate this beautiful season of life.

Why I photograph

Pregnancy, newborn days and growing families are fleeting. They pass by in what feels like the blink of an eye. I photograph these moments because I know how precious they are - and how much you'll cherish having them to look back on.


My goal is to create timeless, emotive images that tell your story and preserve the love you share.

A gentle guided, experience

I know being in front of the camera can feel daunting, especially when you're already feeling so many emotions.


That's why I'll guide you every step of the way - from posing and movement to little prompts that bring out natural connection and real moments.



You don't need to know what to do. That's my job. All you need to do is relax and enjoy the experience.
