The necklace · Liane & Myles

My mother died three years ago. I wear her necklace every single day — not as a habit, but as a choice. When I was photographed with my son Myles, I wanted it in the frame. He will grow up not knowing her, but he will know this necklace, and one day I'll be able to show him why.

The earrings · a daughter

My daughter wore my late mother's earrings the day we were photographed. She's five and has no idea what they mean yet. That's exactly why I wanted the image — so that one day, when she's old enough to understand, the proof will already exist.

Blue · a son and his blanket

My son carried his blanket everywhere for three years. We called it Blue. He's outgrown it now, and I almost let the moment pass without documenting it. These are the things that vanish quietly, without warning. I'm glad we kept this one.

I acknowledge the Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation as the traditional custodians of the land on which I live and work, and pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging — the original keepers of this country's deepest vestiges.

About

Making
images
that outlast
the moment

Vestige
noun — from Latin vestigium, "footprint"
A trace or remnant of something that has passed. A mark left behind. Proof that something real existed here.
Liane

I'm a Melbourne-based photographer. I started shooting because I couldn't bear how quickly things disappeared — a look, a laugh, the light at a particular hour. Photography felt like the closest thing to keeping them.

That's what Vestige is. Not just photographs — but the traces that prove something beautiful happened here, with these people, on this day. Images that feel as true in twenty years as they do the morning after.

My sessions are unhurried and completely personal. I want you to feel completely like yourself — not performing for a lens. The images we make together will be the ones you return to.

01
What remains
Every image is a vestige — proof this moment existed. I take that seriously.
02
Unhurried
The best traces come from stillness. I never rush a session.
03
Timeless
Editing that ages with you — never chasing a trend.
04
Personal
One-on-one from your first message to your final gallery. Always.

Three packages · available now

A Vestige session isn't a transaction — it's the beginning of something that outlasts the day. Each package gives you enough time, space and stillness to create images that will matter long after the moment has passed.

"A photograph is a vestige of a face, a vestige of the past." — Susan Sontag
