Brisbane's best family photographer photographed with her son

Belinda Dorman

I cherish these days and love creating beautiful photos and family films to preserve them.

My journey to motherhood has been my greatest teacher in life. Not only in how it has transformed me but also in how I can show up for others. Leaving a career as a veterinarian after fifteen years, something I worked my whole life for, I found the creativity I craved and that connecting with other women and families rejuvenated me.

Whilst perfecting my craft over the last decade I learnt I could give the gift of beautiful, timeless photographs and films that transport us, as well as an experience that was enjoyable for everyone.

Let me show you how

“When a photographer can somehow capture your inside feelings on the outside.”

Brisbane's favourite family photographer

Belinda Dorman family photographer Brisbane

I pride myself on leaving a session with Dad’s saying ‘What an awesome way to spend a Saturday afternoon!’ and kids wanting me to do it with them all over again the next day. I hold space for you and your family to be yourselves, connect and spend quality time together.
As hard as it can be raising young children, you know the effort you are putting in is paid back tenfold. You don’t want to let it pass you by and I am here for that. I’ll make sure you can come back to these days, how they feel, how they looked with a glance at your photographs or watching your film.
You want a photographer who prioritises experience and authenticity (I know, a buzzword but it is actually important to me!) Leave the busy locations by the wayside and have someone who is going to help you be prepared and hold space for you to fully drop in and connect with your family.
If you’re looking for someone who is going to positively encourage your kids, get to know them quirks and all and find the best way to work with them, look no further. If time spent with your family is sparse and valuable, don’t spend it enduring a photoshoot, spend it enjoying the experience with me.
I have over ten years of experience in the industry and have tested multiple ways to serve my clients, my current packages are a reflection on what I know you’re going to want and need and the prices reflect the level of service I’m going to provide. Your money is wisely invested with someone with the experience to take you through the process seamlessly and leave you with what you came for.
I continuously take inspiration from the places I photograph my families in, whether it is how a tree perfectly overhangs your family in a huddle, the light gleaming through your bedroom window or the way your local burger shop lights up the night and your kids faces. I’m here for all the adventures and letting my creativity unfold with your family.
