The Beach

Have you ever had a family photo shoot at the beach?

If not, you're missing out on an incredibly joyful and fun experience!

 

The beach provides a stunning backdrop for your family photos. The natural beauty of the beach makes the most beautiful photos. From the soft sand to the rolling waves, the beach provides endless opportunities for beautiful and unique photos all year round. 

 

My beach of choice is Kilcunda. It's beautiful with gorgeous winding sandy paths, a trestle bridge, coastal grasses, sand dunes, and a beautiful clean beach. 

 

However, I am happy to travel if you have a favorite beach.

If you haven't had a family photo shoot at the beach, I highly recommend it! The setting, experience, and memories you'll create are truly priceless.

 

Contact us today to book your own beach family photo session and let us help you capture the joy and fun of being with your family at the beach.

Lifestyle  -   Home

Have you ever considered having family photographs taken in your own home?

 

It may not seem like the most glamorous setting, but there are many reasons why having a photo shoot in your own home can be a joyful and special experience.

 

One of the biggest advantages of having family photographs taken in your own home is the comfort factor. Your home is a familiar and cozy environment where everyone can relax and be themselves. This can lead to more natural and authentic photos that truly capture the essence of your family.

​

Another benefit of having a photo shoot at home is the opportunity to personalize the setting. You can choose to have photos taken in your favorite room, surrounded by your beloved possessions and meaningful decor. This adds a unique touch to your photos and makes them truly one-of-a-kind. Your home doesn't have to look like a display home to capture beautiful photos.

​

Your home is where your family's memories are made, and having photos that capture those memories is truly special. When you look back on these photos years from now, you'll be transported back to a time and place that was truly meaningful to your family.

​

Having family photographs taken in your own home can be a wonderful and joyful experience. It offers comfort, personalization, and convenience, and creates lasting memories that you'll cherish for a lifetime. Contact us today to schedule your own at-home photo shoot and let us help you capture the beauty and love within your family.

Location

Are you looking to have family photographs taken at a location that is special and meaningful to your family? 

​

Choosing a favorite location for your family photo session creates an emotional connection to the photos. Whether it's a place you've visited frequently or a spot that holds sentimental value, having photos taken at a location that is important to your family will make the photos even more special.

​

Having photos taken at a favorite location also allows for personalization. You can incorporate elements of the location into the photos, whether it's a backdrop of your favorite hiking trail or a view of the beach you love to visit. These elements will add a unique touch to your photos and make them truly one-of-a-kind.

​

Another benefit of having family photographs taken at a favorite location is the memories you'll create. When you look back at the photos, you'll be reminded of the memories and experiences you've shared with your family at that location. These photos will become cherished family heirlooms that you'll treasure for years to come.

​

Having photos taken at a familiar location can also be comforting for your family. You'll feel at ease in a location you're already familiar with, which can lead to more natural and relaxed photos.

​

Having family photographs taken at a favorite location is a wonderful way to create emotional connections, personalize your photos, create lasting memories, and feel comfortable during the photo shoot. Contact us today to schedule your own family photo shoot at your favorite location, and let us help you capture the love and beauty within your family in a truly meaningful way.

Your day has finally arrived...

 

If you're coming to Tonimbuk you will arrive at our property down our dirt road where I will be waiting. Parking is not a problem. 

​

We will walk to various locations near and around the lake and capture a series of both posed and natural portraits. I will direct you however I won't pose you. When you pose people the photos often look forced and unnatural. 

​

I do all of my portraits at 9-10 in the morning or in the evening to catch beautiful soft light and/or the golden hour, I love using beautiful natural light.

 

Our farm is in Tonimbuk, which is less than an hour from Melbourne.

​

At the end of the session, we will organize a time for the reveal/ design appointment.

 

 You will also be sent home with a full Product and Pricing guide.

 

Step Four -

When the session has finished, I will select the very best portraits.

 

Next, I will carefully hand-edit the chosen images.

 

Approximately 2-3 weeks after your session I invite my clients to come to my home office for your reveal, design, and ordering appointment.

​

You will view a slideshow of your finished gallery in a cinematic experience that is really special and enjoyable. 

​

This is where you choose your favorite photos, and we design your finished artwork.

​

If you purchased digital photos they are available for download within hours of full payment at your design appointment. The online gallery and slideshow remains active for three months. So you can show friends and family on your phone. 

​

Allow approx 4-6 weeks for your artwork to be ready. Usually a little quicker however since covid some products take a little longer. 

​

Families often send me photos of their art work displayed in their homes, which I love. They tell me how their little ones look at the albums everyday. Studying every photo closely. It's heartwarming...
