Celebrating your Lilydale family with lifestyle photos

Hi there! I’m a lifestyle photographer working across Lilydale and the Yarra Valley, with over ten years of experience capturing genuine, beautiful stories of families just like yours. While I also offer maternity photos and newborn photos, this page is all about celebrating your family — authentic, relaxed, and full of love — right here in Lilydale. My approach is easygoing and child-focused, so our time together feels more like a fun day out than a formal shoot.

Family photos in Lilydale

Lilydale’s mix of lakeside parks, open reserves and nearby hills makes a wonderful backdrop for family photography. Whether we’re exploring Lilydale Lake, wandering the green spaces around town, or staying in the comfort of your own home, I’ll guide a session that feels natural for your kids and true to your family’s energy.

Creating a fun-filled Lilydale family adventure

The best family photos come from real connection. For your kids, our session will feel like an adventure — games, exploration, and plenty of laughter — while I quietly capture the in-between moments that matter most.

Frequently Asked Questions for Lilydale

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
