temple of lila
The word Lila comes from a Sanskrit word meaning ‘‘divine play.’’ Creating was referred to as the ‘‘sport of the gods’’. They created just for fun, because they could!
This is the essence of Temple of Lila: the joyful freedom to create just for fun and just because we can.
Document your life with soulful intention
Greetings, I’m Kelly—your photographer and creative guide based on Sydney’s beautiful South Coast.
I get it, you want images that feel like magic. No stiff poses, no forced smiles—just you and your people, feeling at ease, fully yourselves, and beautifully seen. That’s where I come in.
My background is in fashion and studio photography, but documentary style will always be my first love (spoiler alert, I weave in all three).
Why documentary? Because there’s something special about capturing moments as they naturally unfold—raw, unfiltered, and deeply human. No trying, no forcing—just life, exactly as it is. And that’s where the beauty lies.
But that doesn’t mean you’re left to figure it all out alone. I’ll guide you through the process, creating space for you to feel comfortable and confident. Together, we’ll create something that feels natural, effortless, and deeply you.
We’ll work with natural light and stunning outdoor locations—coastlines, open fields, and quiet pockets of nature—to create images that feel timeless, effortless, and a little bit magical.
Let’s document your life with intention.
“The images were stunning, I felt so confident the entire time’’
That’s the magic of co-creating together. I’m here to guide you through every step of the process, helping you feel comfortable, confident, and at ease. It’s not just about taking beautiful photos—it’s about creating an experience where you can truly show up as yourself.

If my images have resonated with you, it’s for a reason. Images hold intention and frequency. They can make us feel things our minds don’t understand but our bodies crave.
