Maybe you’ve felt hesitant to book a session because you’re worried Dad won’t enjoy it, or the kids won’t cooperate.
Perhaps past photos have felt posed or artificial, and it’s hard to find a session that truly reflects your family’s personality. And with busy lives, finding the time for a long shoot can feel impossible.

The result? Authentic photos that tell your family’s story.
PLUS, as a bonus for Fathers Day, you’ll also receive a beautifully presented custom timber photo portrait to treasure forever!

We’ll help with questions, about what to wear, what to expect and best locations that suit your family.
We promise this session will be fun — no stiff poses, no awkward moments. We focus on capturing the real, playful connections between you and the kids.
Think of it as simply hanging out and playing with your favourite people (or furry family members!). Because let’s face it, how often do you get to slow down and enjoy genuine quality time together?

We keep this simple too; choose between an in person or zoom ordering session and we’ll help you choose what you love.

A session with a newborn will generally last between 1-2 hours. The session is never rushed and allows time for feeding and settling your baby as well as cuddles along the way.
Pet, Family or Maternity session are about 45mins but as it’s a play session then we’ll be guided by when everyones had enough – 15 mins is also enough time!
The short answer is, whatever you feel the most comfortable and what reflects your own style. But don’t worry, this is all part of the planning process. During your pre-session consultation we will discuss your outfit options to ensure you and your family are going to look and feel great!
Family & pet sessions are welcome at any time and it’s best to book early if you have a specific date in mind. School holidays are booked out early, as are the late afternoon weekday sessions. We’d recommend getting in touch as early as possible.
