Mother, Wife & lover of film photography

Hi, I'm Ruby, the photographer behind Mother Mae Studio.

Nestled in the Adelaide Hills, I document motherhood, families and the beautifully ordinary moments that make up your story. My approach is gentle and unhurried, creating space for genuine connection rather than perfectly posed photographs.

Drawn to the timeless nature of film and photography, shooting only on 35mm & medium format, I'm inspired by soft light, honest emotion and the little details that often become the most treasured memories. My hope is to create photographs that feel natural, nostalgic and deeply personal—images that will only grow more meaningful with time.

Whether you're welcoming a new baby, celebrating motherhood or simply wanting to remember this season of your family, it would be an honour to tell your story.
