Capture your Mont Albert family with fun and relaxed photography. Family sessions are available in your home or at scenic Melbourne locations.

A visual story of your Mont Albert family through family photography

As a Mont Albert lifestyle photographer with over ten years of experience (and a mum to two energetic kids and a pair of lively dogs!), I know that real family life is wonderfully unpredictable. It’s this beautiful chaos I love to capture most.
Although I also capture the excitement of maternity photography and the quiet wonder of newborn photos, this page is all about the heart of it all, family. Right here in Mont Albert, I offer relaxed and natural family photography sessions that feel more like a laid-back adventure than a traditional photoshoot. It’s about the giggles, the cuddles, and the real, unscripted moments that make your family truly yours.
Before photography, my world was all about words. I studied writing for years, and now I weave that storytelling magic into each session. I want to capture what makes your family you, the personalities, the playfulness, and those little in-between moments you’ll want to remember forever.

So don’t stress if things get messy, loud, or a little wild, that’s the beauty of it! We’ll roll with the energy of your kids, have a few laughs, and create beautiful, meaningful memories that truly reflect this fleeting chapter in your family’s life.

Family photos in Mont Albert

Mont Albert, with its leafy charm and access to stunning outdoor spots like Mont Albert Park and the nearby Maranoa Gardens, offers the perfect setting for capturing your family’s natural connection. Think of our session as a relaxed day out with your family, just with me tagging along with a camera. I’ll offer gentle direction when needed, but my goal is to capture the laughter, chaos, and quiet moments that make your family beautifully unique.
I’ll gently guide you to make the most of the light and surroundings, while focusing on those real, candid moments that reflect your family’s true personality.

Whether your little ones love running wild at Mont Albert Park, exploring the peaceful paths of Maranoa Gardens, or simply enjoying the everyday comfort of your Mont Albert home, I’ll meet you where your family feels most at ease. Sessions are unhurried, allowing time for everyone to settle in and be themselves. The result? Beautiful, heartfelt family photos that freeze these fleeting moments and tell your family’s story with honesty and joy.

Creating a fun family adventure in Mont Albert

I’ve found that the most meaningful family photography happens when everyone’s having fun and being themselves, especially the kids! That’s why I design each session to feel more like a playful adventure than a traditional photoshoot. What lights your little ones up? Maybe it’s running through Mont Albert Park, getting silly in your own backyard, or cuddling up together in the living room. We’ll shape the session around what brings them joy, so the smiles and connections come naturally.

And don’t stress if you’re worried about how the kids will go on the day. As a mum to two energetic kids (and a couple of dogs!), I totally understand the unpredictable nature of family life. We’ll chat ahead of time to create a flexible plan that helps everyone feel relaxed, supported, and ready to enjoy the moment.

Your Mont Albert home creates a meaningful backdrop for your family story

There’s something incredibly special about capturing family photos right in your own Mont Albert home. It’s the place where real life happens, where your kids play, where routines turn into rituals, and where your family’s personality shines. Photographing you in a space that’s familiar and full of memories allows for a relaxed, natural session that truly reflects who you are. No two families are alike, and that’s what I love most, every session is shaped by the energy, quirks, and connections that make your family one of a kind.

These natural backdrops add a timeless feel to your family’s story and help create images filled with real connection and joy.

My goal as your family photographer in Mont Albert is to capture more than just posed images; I aim to tell your family’s story through authentic photographs. These family photos are a way to pause time and create lasting memories of this specific chapter in your lives; the real, unfiltered version, complete with laughter, maybe a few tears, and all the genuine connections in between. Let’s hit pause and capture your story, just as it is.

Frequently Asked Questions for Mont Albert

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.

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.

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.
