CAPTURING LIFE & LOVE

A self portrait of Byron Bay and Gold Coast Photographer, Jasmin Sleeman, laughing

I’m a heart-fuelled, connection-seeking photographer based in Byron Bay, Northern New South Wales, shooting locally across the Gold Coast, Tweed Coast, Byron Bay and Lennox Head, and always happy to travel to create something special with you. I’ve been capturing people’s stories for ten years and have made so many friends along the way. I take the time to get to know you and your special people, so that our time together feels like a big, warm hug.

I live for balmy days at the beach, pointbreaks, camping adventures and time with my family. Want to know more?...

YOU WILL NEVER REGRET THE PHOTOS YOU HAVE, ONLY THE ONES YOU DON’T

If you’ve been putting off booking a photo session, waiting for the perfect time, I’m here to tell you that there is no better time than now. These seasons are fleeting and I promise you that in months from now, and especially years from now, you’ll wish you had tangible memories of the way life looks right now. The dimples on your baby’s hands; the sweet curls at the nape of your toddler’s neck; your beautiful bump growing day by day; how your child moulds into your warm embrace; the deep, unwavering love in your partner’s eyes. These are the things I live for and capture when I tell your story. I’m not about posed and perfect, I’m all about the real stuff.

SARA + CASEY / FAMILY

Jas is an absolute superstar to work with. She effortlessly captured the heart and soul of our little family. She was a toddler and infant whisperer and shot the most stunning images of our boys. They looked so natural and in their element - the way I would want to look back and remember them at this time of their lives. I cannot recommend Jasmin enough. She is such a beautiful person to invite to capture these special moments and I will definitely be using her again.

SAMMY + NATHAN / ELOPEMENT

Jasmin captured our Cabarita Beach elopement so beautifully and went above and beyond for us. We will be forever grateful! She is a bundle of smiles and joy and made us feel so comfortable and relaxed during our elopement portraits. Jasmin was an absolute pleasure to work with and we highly recommend her.

JASMINE + JASON / NEWBORN

Jas! We have just been sitting here having a glass of wine and going through the gallery - the perfect rainy day arvo after a long week. Honestly we are so in love with all of the photos!!! Thank you soooooo much for capturing these amazing memories. There are so many that are our faves! You honestly have gone above and beyond and your creativity with these shots has absolutely shined through. We are so excited to share these with our family especially the ones a bit further from home. Appreciate you and thanks again! x

STEPH + RYAN / FAMILY

Jas, we just had a chance to look at the photographs, and Ryan and I are absolutely in love with them. I literally cannot stop going through them. OMG! Thank you SO SO SO much! I could already see why people travel so far to shoot with you, but the photos are even more special when you receive your own. There’s just one thing I’m mad about – it’s that I didn’t book you three years ago! You are so lovely and made us all feel really comfortable. I’m already thinking about future sessions.

SAMMY + DANIJEL / ELOPEMENT

Ahhh we watched the slideshow last night and OMG you are AMAZING! The photos are everything we could have hoped for and more. We’re so happy to have these moments forever. Thank you so much for everything! x

CAROLINA + BEN / MATERNITY

OMG Jasmin!!! The gallery is AMAAAZING!!! Your work is AMAAAZING!!! I’m so IN LOVE with our pictures - I cry every time I watch our slideshow. It’s so beautiful. Thank you so much for making this dream come true for me! You’re an angel.

LUCY + ROB / FAMILY

Jas! Oh my gosh, WOW! I’m crying. I honestly can’t thank you enough. These pictures are so beautiful and capture us so perfectly. These photos are so special to us, it’s the last time we were all together as a family. I will honestly treasure these forever. It’s been a tough few months since we left Australia, and these have honestly made my day. I’m so so grateful! x

GEMMA + MIKEY / NEWBORN

Ohhh Jas, thank you so much! We had the best time with you, it was so relaxing and we both felt completely at ease. Mikey really enjoyed the experience, which is saying something because he isn’t usually comfortable in situations like this. The photos are beautiful! You captured us perfectly. Honestly, thank you!

HARRIET + NATHAN / ELOPEMENT

I came across Jas on Instagram and the minute I found her page I knew she was the one to photograph our elopement. From our initial emails I could tell how warm and friendly Jas was. Her excitement for our day made me feel confident we had picked the right photographer. Sure enough, Jas was nothing short of incredible and particularly amazing with our young boys, making the experience so much fun for them. The photos speak for themselves; we'll treasure them forever.

TAMMY + JASON / NEWBORN

Just opened my photos from Jasmin… Eeeeeeep! My heart, my soul… pass me the tissues. Divine! Our family of four captured and frozen in a time of happiness. Our photos make us feel ALL the feels. Jasmin was wonderful with our 3.5 year old and went above and beyond to get the best possible photos of our newborn. Very efficient in photos being sent to us, professional and an absolute delight to spend an afternoon with. Thank you so much Jas!

MEG + DANIEL / MATERNITY

Oh my gosh, Jas!!! The photos are so beautiful. Both my husband and I started tearing up watching the slideshow. I love them! Thank you so much for capturing this season of our life. These are such a treasure for me to hold onto.

SHAN + JAKE / FAMILY

Oh my gosh we LOVE them soooo much!!! They're all just so beautiful. I've been crying looking at them all. I'm so grateful - thank you!!! You're so amazing! x

BRIONY + JAKE / FAMILY

OMG the photos are stunning! I have tears rolling down my cheeks. I have not stopped swooning over our gallery. I am so glad we did this! Jake says he likes these more than our wedding album! I honestly can't thank you enough. Book us in for a newborn session next year! x
