Documenting your life's moments and capturing your business through images

Gingerhouse Photography is a photography studio based in Bendigo.

With more than 14 years experience, I have developed a natural and timeless style with a distinct way of telling stories with the camera. I specialise in maternity, newborn, engagement, wedding and family photography as well as helping local businesses elevate and grow their brand with professional imagery.

Whether it’s in my warm and inviting studio, your home or on location, I look forward to helping you document life’s moments and tell your business story through images.

Michelle Cail, photographer & style enthusiast

Your place or mine?

My beautiful purpose built studio is located in Huntly, surrounded by bushland and just minutes from the Bendigo CBD. It’s where families can feel comfortable and relaxed to bring their newborn babies (or older children) to be photographed.
I am a natural light photographer and am lucky enough to have large windows spanning across the front wall of my studio to utilise for gorgeous lighting in all of my studio sessions.
The studio is also the perfect setting for personal and business branding sessions and photography workshops. Of course, we can also shoot outdoors or on location.

Kind words from my clients...

"Michelle totally got my branding and the look and feel I was going for with my images. I love the colours that she achieved and the time of day that she chose. I was a bit concerned about being the centre of attention as I hadn't done a photoshoot before, but Michelle made me feel relaxed and at ease. It was fun! Now that I have these beautiful images, I feel energised to update my website and plan content for my social media channels. I only wish I'd made the investment sooner."​
Chloe
Emu Creek Digital
"We have felt so lucky and grateful that Michelle has captured our family moments as we have welcomed three gorgeous daughters. She has a relaxed approach which has ensured our babies and ourselves were calm and happy and this has resulted in fantastic photos. The images are treasured. We always suggest her whenever any of our friends or family are looking for a photographer as we know they will be as wrapt with their photos as we are."
Ford Family
"Michelle covered our Wedding day in March 2014 and provided us with the most amazing and beautiful photographs which captured the day beautifully. The pictures were amazing, not only from a professional point of view, but each special moment was captured really well. With a big wedding party Michelle not only connected and made us feel comfortable but also the entire wedding party including the 6 children involved. People still make comment on our wedding photos and we owe it all to Michelle. Would not have had anyone else capture our special day."
Chloe and Nick Whitfield
"From start to finish our experience with Michelle was very positive. Only a professional would spend the time prior to a photo shoot, making the children feel completely at ease by just “hanging” out with them. As a direct result of the time she invested into our family prior to any photos being taken she managed to capture each of our personalities perfectly! I think Michelle’s sensitivity in working with children comes from her obvious love and enthusiasm for creating beautiful family photography. We continue to enjoy her work every day as it hangs in frames around our house."

Imagine slipping into your cosy warm bed and popping this wonderful new linen eye pillow from  @mimosa_botanicals filled with organic botanicals of Australian buckwheat and linseed with their own special blend of soporific dried flowers and herbs onto your eyes and leaving the day behind.

The beautiful linen cover is hand made by @muddybootsmaker another clever local maker.

A huge thankyou to Leah from @bellsvintage for the night shirt. She has lots of beautiful things.

I don't normally do alot of debs photos, I don't know why they are so much fun. This is Trista and it's very surreal to say she is a young lady when I have known her since she was a baby. It's was such a privilege to be able to take her photos.

Imagine once you have reached the French doors and  opening them, the warmth and coziness of the little barn embrace you, the chairs invite you to linger and read a book, the linen on the bed beckons you to sleep in.
Imagine it could be yours for a little or long stay, well it's possible, book now.
