Celebrating your Croydon family with lifestyle photos

Hi there! I’m a lifestyle photographer based in Croydon with over ten years of experience capturing the genuine, beautiful stories of families just like yours. While I offer maternity photos and newborn photos, this page is all about celebrating your family, authentic, relaxed, and full of love, right here in Croydon. Before photography became my full-time passion, I studied writing, and today I combine both forms of storytelling, visual and written, to capture the true spirit of each family I meet. My approach is easygoing and child-focused, ensuring your session feels more like a fun day out than a formal shoot. These years fly by, and my goal is to help you preserve this chapter because your little ones won’t stay little for long. I know mine haven’t!

Family photos in Croydon

Croydon, with its welcoming community and access to wonderful outdoor spaces like Croydon Park and the nearby Dandenong Ranges National Park, provides a fantastic backdrop for capturing your family’s unique dynamic. My family photographer sessions embrace a relaxed and fun atmosphere, ensuring your children see our time together as an enjoyable adventure and lots of fun. Expect to be a little silly, play games and I’m sure those genuine, nose-scrunching giggles that perfectly capture their personalities will shine through.

Whether your ideal family photos involve exploring the playgrounds and open spaces of Croydon Park, embarking on a nature walk in the scenic Dandenong Ranges just a short drive from Croydon, or enjoying the comfort of your Croydon home, a backdrop that’s an important part of your family’s narrative, I’m ready to capture your family’s authentic interactions. I won’t rush you, allowing plenty of time for everyone to feel comfortable and for those genuine smiles and connections to unfold, resulting in beautiful photos with kids that you’ll treasure as a true reflection of this time. In-home sessions also offer the wonderful opportunity to easily include your beloved pets in your family story.

Creating a fun-filled Croydon family adventure

I believe that the best family photos comes from genuine genuine moments. For your kids, our session will feel more like an adventure than anything formal and serious. Let’s brainstorm what they love most! Would it be splashing in the waves at a nearby beach, exploring the wonders of a forest, or simply having fun in the familiar comfort of your Croydon home? We’ll craft an adventure specifically suited to their interests, capturing real smiles and connections along the way. These photos are about holding on to this special chapter, a reminder of how quickly these years pass.

Real moments at your home in Croydon with family photos

I genuinely love capturing families in the warmth and familiarity of their own Croydon homes. It’s where your story naturally unfolds, making it the perfect setting for authentic, heartfelt family photos. Photographing you in your everyday environment allows for real moments and genuine interactions that feel true to who you are. No two sessions are ever the same, and that’s what I cherish most. Each one reflects the beautiful personalities and dynamics that make your family uniquely yours.

From the local charm of Croydon Park to the natural beauty of the nearby Dandenong Ranges, we have fantastic options for a fun outdoor adventure that will result in stunning and natural family photos.

Frequently Asked Questions for Croydon

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
