It’s the smiles and happy expressions that I capture on every photo. A maternity or newborn photo session will create lasting memories of the new addition to your family. A family photo shoot is a natural extension.
The visual story that your family tells is told by your family portraits: your smile, your look and the hugs you share with your partner are all part of the past. Photos of the whole group tell of the present. And portraits of the children show the future.
In a few years, when your children will be grown and leave the home, you’ll look back at the photos you took and remember a funny story from their childhood, an emotional moment or how close you were, even though you weren’t there.
Every year, many families choose to have a photo shoot to create a lasting memory. As a mother of three, I am a strong advocate for a yearly photo shoot. I’ll give you a few reasons why it is important to schedule a professional photography session regularly.
The Quality of a Boutique Photographer
Each photographer has a unique style and a certain level of technical skill. They may also have a studio setup for clients who prefer an indoor photo session to an outdoor one. Not all photographers are created equal. It is important to know a boutique photographer, especially when seeking a family photographer in Sydney.
The final outcome of your family photo shoot can be dramatically altered by choosing the right photographer.
A boutique photographer can help you capture your inner essence by using their skills and vision. Although technical knowledge is important, it’s not the camera type, lighting, or technique that makes a portrait successful. The connection that the photographer makes with the subject is what brings the portrait to life.
A smartphone can be used to take a quick photo, but a professional is needed to create a meaningful portrait.
Smartphone-taken Photos Have Little Value
The most common thing I hear is that everyone now has a digital camera in their pockets. Sometimes we rely on technology so much that we forget about our most valuable things. Smartphones can be very useful and the powerful cameras allow you to take some amazing photos. But what are they worth?
We break our phones more than we’d like to admit before we do a cloud backup. And even then, we lose our passwords, which are lost forever.

You can print them
Photographs can be transformed into real art that you will proudly display on your home wall.
It is my specialty to offer fine art printing services. This service is very popular after shootings. You can transform every shot into a masterpiece by printing it on the highest quality professional paper and framing them to match the style of your house.
You can choose your images and I will show you where to place them. I’m always happy to offer advice on the best type of wall art, and the size that would be appropriate.
They make the perfect gift
A framed picture of you with your children would be a thoughtful gift. It’s Father’s Day, or Mother’s Day. Your children’s grandparents will love and appreciate your photos if you have them printed.
Is Valentine’s Day approaching? A family portrait can be a wonderful gift for your partner.
Don’t forget about Christmas and other occasions for gift giving.
You can make a family day out of it
A family photo shoot will require you to spend 2 to 3 hours with your family in a studio or at a location that suits your needs. Your shooting session can be a fun experience if you do it right.
As a mom, I understand that children can get grumpy when they spend too long in an environment where they don’t feel comfortable. So I let my kids explore my studio and have a conversation with me. I also let them look closer at my camera. Once they gain confidence, they are more willing to pose and have their pictures taken.
This approach makes both indoor and outdoors family photo shoots a fun experience.
