More than a photoshoot - I offer a way to hold onto today's love, laughter and chaos before it becomes a distant memory.
When this family suggested their next photoshoot take place on a camping trip with a beloved vintage caravan that had travelled Australia and featured in their own engagement photos, I was immediately on board. What followed was an autumn adventure in the Gold Coast Hinterland complete with rain showers, paragliders, marshmallows by the fire, a full moon rising over camp and even a dawn platypus watch. By staying the night, I was able to take more than lifestyle portraits, but document the rhythm of a family trip as it unfolded. As someone who spends much of my own free time camping with my children, these are the kinds of stories that feel deeply worth preserving, the ordinary adventures that become part of your legacy.
An experience in itself, having a family film made may be quite different to what you expect. I’ll spend a morning or afternoon with your family at your home or a special destination. Prior to your session we will loosely plan activities that you regularly enjoy together to really capture the parts of your lives right now that you want to remember forever.
No directing, no takes, pure utter authentic moments. Whilst enjoying your family’s company, I will observe and film, later crafting your unique film that will be set to licensed music, chosen specifically for your family.
Over the course of ten years spent photographing Brisbane families, particularly North Brisbane, I have found what works, what doesn’t and where we will best find the perfect shoot location for your family.
Choosing a location that suits your family, allows your children to be themselves and have fun is so important! This Australian bush location has a few mosquitoes but light is dreamy and you get a kangaroo sighting guarantee!
