Let me capture the beauty of your everyday as your Deepdene family photographer

Hi! I’m a Deepdene lifestyle photographer passionate about capturing the beautiful and unique stories of families with beautiful family photos. With a background in writing and over a decade behind the lens, I bring a storytelling eye to my relaxed family sessions. While I also offer maternity photos and newborn photos, this page celebrates the joy of family in Deepdene, focusing on creating fun adventures for your kids and preserving these precious, fleeting years.

Family photos in Deepdene

Deepdene, with its leafy streets and proximity to beautiful parks like Wattle Park and the nearby Yarra River, offers wonderful opportunities for capturing your family’s unique dynamic. My family photography sessions embrace a fun and adventurous spirit for kids, ensuring they see our time together as a family adventure rather than anything too serious. The goal is to capture the genuine interactions and joy of your immediate family in a relaxed and unposed way. I love shooting in homes in and around Deepdene, as it provides a backdrop that’s truly a part of your story.

Whether your ideal family photos involve exploring the playgrounds and open spaces of Wattle Park, enjoying a walk along the Yarra River, or embracing the comfort of your Deepdene home, I’m ready to capture your family with a relaxed approach and joy. I won’t rush the process, allowing plenty of time for everyone to feel comfortable and for those authentic moments to unfold, resulting in beautiful photos with kids that you’ll treasure as memories of this very time in your lives. Expect fun, games, and most importantly, nose-scrunching laughs that perfectly capture their personalities.

Creating a fun-filled Deepdene family adventure

I believe the most meaningful family photos come from real moments and shared fun. For your children, our session won’t feel like a traditional photoshoot, it’ll feel like an adventure designed just for them. Let’s chat about what lights them up! Maybe it’s splashing at a nearby beach, wandering through a forest, or simply playing at home in Deepdene. We’ll create a relaxed, playful experience that reflects your family’s personality, capturing genuine smiles and heartfelt connections. These images will preserve this special season because these fleeting years deserve to be remembered.

Your Deepdene Home: The Authentic Setting for Your Story

I find immense joy in photographing families within the comfort of their own Deepdene homes. Your home is where your story unfolds daily, and it provides an inherently authentic backdrop for your family photos. Capturing your connections and everyday moments in these familiar spaces creates truly personal and meaningful memories that reflect your family’s unique narrative. I love that each family shoot is different, reflecting the unique characters within your family.

The heart of your story start at home in Deepdene

There’s something truly special about capturing families in the comfort of their own Deepdene homes. It’s where real life happens, where laughter echoes, routines unfold, and love lives in the little moments. Your home offers the perfect, natural setting for relaxed and meaningful family photos that reflect who you are. I’m always inspired by how each session is completely unique, shaped by your family’s energy, personality, and connection. These everyday spaces hold so much beauty and together, we’ll preserve those memories in a way that feels true to you.

Frequently Asked Questions for Deepdene

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.

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.

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.

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.
