I’m a photographer with over a decade of experience capturing the beautiful and unique stories of families in and around Burwood. While I also specialise in documenting the excitement of new life with maternity photography and the special wonder of newborn photos, this page is dedicated to celebrating the joy and connection of family through natural and relaxed photography sessions right here in Burwood. Because of my background in writing before becoming a photographer, I bring a deeper sense of storytelling to your family’s photos. This allows me to truly capture your unique essence during a laid-back and enjoyable adventure that your kids will love.

Making it a fun family adventure in Burwood

I believe that the best family photos comes from genuine interaction and fun. For your kids, our session will feel more like a family adventure than a serious photoshoot.

We’ll tailor our adventure to their interests, capturing real smiles and connections along the way.

Frequently Asked Questions for Burwood

Do you offer prints and albums?

Yes! I offer professional printing services and beautiful albums to help you preserve your family memories. I can also recommend the best places to print your digital files if you prefer to handle printing yourself.

When will we receive our photos?

You'll receive a sneak peek within 48 hours of your session. The full gallery will be ready within 2-3 weeks, depending on the season and my current workload.

What if my children don't cooperate during the session?

Don't worry! I'm experienced with children of all ages and temperaments. I use games, songs, and playful activities to keep kids engaged. Some of the best photos come from candid moments when children are being themselves. I'll work with your family's natural dynamics.

What should we wear for our family session?

Choose coordinating colors rather than matching outfits. Avoid bright neon colors and large logos. Earth tones, pastels, and neutral colors work well. Most importantly, wear something you feel comfortable and confident in. I recommend bringing a change of clothes for the kids in case of accidents.

Can we include our pets in the family session?

Absolutely! Pets are part of the family too. Just let me know in advance so I can plan accordingly. I recommend bringing treats and toys to help keep pets focused during the session.

How long does a family session typically last?

Family sessions usually last 1-2 hours, depending on the size of your family and the location. This gives us plenty of time to capture a variety of shots while keeping everyone comfortable and engaged.
