The Dreamers - Banabae x Emma Wand - With Photographer Sophie Blair

Welcome to the new Dreamers series, created in collaboration with Emma Wand Photography—where we celebrate the beauty, chaos, and magic of real family life. This month, meet Sophie Blair: talented photographer, mum of three, and creative soul from Balgownie, NSW. Just in time for Mother’s Day, Sophie shares her reflections on motherhood, creativity, and the golden moments in between.


I’m Sophie—wife to Shaun and mum to Daisy (6), Dusty (4), and our newest little love, Valley Rue (7 weeks).


Absolutely—100%! I don’t think photography would’ve been on my radar if I hadn’t become a mum. Motherhood made me realise how fleeting childhood is and how important it is to document these little moments. I always aim to create a fun, relaxed energy at shoots so I can capture those real, heartfelt connections between families.
