This isn't a Photoshoot ...

It's an Experience


If you've been searching for a photographer who truly connects with your children — who taps into their imagination and meets them right where they are — you're in the right place.


I don't just take photos. I capture connection. Children feel the energy, and it shows — that spark of wonder only they can give.

"Ciao, you beautiful soul"

— welcome to my magical world.

 

I'm Elena, a purple-haired photographer based in Moonee Ponds, and I'm the creative Dream Fairy photographer spinning magic behind Dream Catcher Photography. I've always been a fairy — I just didn't know it yet!


I believe magic is real. It's in the small things — a child's laugh, a mother watching her child in the garden, a look between two people in love. Most people don't see it. I do.


"I see it, I chase it, and I capture it before it vanishes!"


Whether it's a fairy garden session, all the fun at a children's party, or your family moments, I love revealing those special details you might miss and turning them into beautiful, meaningful images you'll treasure forever.


Life moves quickly, and seasons change rapidly. But the magic in your story? That's absolutely worth preserving.

Happy family of four enjoying a sunny picnic on green grass in a lush garden park setting.

    



" From our first conversation,

I knew Elena was the perfect fit for our family photos. She took the time to understand our personalities, guided us on outfits, helped us choose pieces that complemented each other perfectly. Elena made the kids feel comfortable the second we arrived. She played soccer with my son and et my daughter cartwheel her energy out between shots, even surprised them with a little goodie bag to take home. The photos we received were amazing and captured our family perfectly ".

Family of four enjoying a walk in a lush green park, parents swinging toddler while older child holds hands.

“Elena connected to all of us. We all felt relaxed with her. The kids were so happy, they listened to what she wanted us to do, they were happy and excited, with many smiles. Nothing was forced, everything came naturally.

We recommend her 100%. Every family with kids… Elena is in control of everything. Parents can relax and enjoy the photoshoot, which you won’t have with many other photographers.”

“Elena was wonderful with me and my young family. She was calm amongst the chaos and interacted beautifully with our children. The photos she took are so special to us.I wouldn’t hesitate having Elena take our family photos again in the future.”
