Family and Lifestyle
Photographer
Available in Drouin
Family and lifestyle photography is all about capturing special moments in your life… moments like birthday parties, the birth of a child, a moment in the history of your family, or anniversaries. It may also be a way of capturing your home, the decor of a function, or any objects you want to capture in a beautiful way.
You want to recall these moments: see it… feel it… relive it! Again and again. Vivid. Close to your heart.
That’s why your family and lifestyle photographer creates beautiful pictures…
- in images of the raw, unposed moments in the day… the candid photos… the natural portraits…. and the unique details that you would like to remember,
- in pictures that are authentic expressions of who you and your family are,
- in a “documentary” that captures the moment, ceremony od people you would like to remember, and
- in a way that allows you to enjoy the photography shoot.
More about Suzanne Fouché:
family and lifestyle photographer
Becoming a family and lifestyle photographer seldom starts in a moment or with a single decision. It usually starts with a passion… a passion to see the world through a lens of beauty. Looking for beauty all around you. Beauty in places, people and things. After that comes the hard part of mastering the skills and the intricacies of creating pictures that touch your heart.
My photography journey started at a fairly young age…

Welcome to Drouin, Victoria in Austalia
Warragul is a small town in the heart of West Gippsland, Victoria, about 100 kilometers southeast of Melbourne. It is a peaceful place with a friendly community, surrounded by green hills and farmlands. If you’re looking for natural beauty, history, and things to do, Warragul has it all.
A Short History of Warragul
The name “Warragul” comes from an Aboriginal word meaning “wild dog” or “dingo.” The area was originally home to the Wurundjeri and Kurnai people, who cared for the land for thousands of years.
European settlers arrived in the 1800s. Warragul grew when the railway between Melbourne and Sale was built in 1878. This made it easier for farmers to send milk and produce to the city. Today, Warragul is still known for dairy farming and fresh produce. It has kept its country charm while becoming a modern town.
What Makes Warragul Special?
Rolling hills, green pastures, and mountain views surround Warragul. The area has a mild climate with cool winters and warm summers. It’s perfect for growing crops and raising animals. Many visit for the fresh air, local food, and stunning scenery.
The town is also a gateway to nearby attractions like the Dandenong Ranges and Mount Baw Baw. Whether you love nature, art, or food, there’s something for everyone in Warragul.
