Family & Baby Portrait Photography Sydney

As family portrait photographers, we believe we are custodians of your family history.

We really understand the long-term value of portrait photographs, and we feel honoured to help you remember your important family events, life milestones, and the love you feel for those in your close circle of family and friends.

What is Family Portrait Photography?

Family portrait photography is a beautiful artform where, through stunning photographs, we capture a moment in your lives that shows the sense of connection, differing personalities, and relationships between everyone in your family. Whether your family is simply you and your child, or if your family includes parents, grandparents, children, aunts, uncles, dogs, cats and sheep – family is different for everyone and we photograph all families.


Family Photography Experts

Our team photographers are all hand-picked by Israel Smith to ensure they each have what it takes to capture the stories of each family in a sensitive, artistic way. Each member of our team has very close ties to their own families, and deeply understands the dynamics of families and children, which means your portraits will capture your family just as you know them.

Baby Portrait Photography

We all go mushy and silly when a new baby arrives at the studio, because they’re just so beautiful and tiny! (The Michelin-babies are also beautiful – even if they aren’t as tiny…) Little details like hands, feet, lips, eyelashes, noses – ahhh, they are such delightful little miracles and we love being baby photographers.

Small Families and Portrait Photographs

Good things come in small packages. A family can be as small as a person with their dog/cat/fish/favourite pet. There’s no minimum number of people we need to capture all the beautiful emotions surrounding families.

Big Families and Portrait Photographs

If you come from a big family, or if you want an extended family portrait photograph to capture several generations in one gorgeous image for your family history, we’re really experienced at this and very happy to help.

Family and Baby Portrait Locations

We find for portrait photography in Sydney, people are most relaxed in an outdoor natural environment. This could be anywhere from your own home or backyard, your favourite beach, your local park, or any one of the many locations we can recommend for you. We suggest choosing an outdoor location where you will feel comfortable, to ensure your family’s portrait photography gets the best results.

Studio Baby Portrait Photographers

We also have a small indoor studio to help capture artistic images with simple backgrounds for newborn babies or pregnancy portraits. This is great for keeping bubs out of the weather, or for mums-to-be who either don’t fancy the idea of showing off their pregnant body outside or would instead prefer some artistic nude shots.

Custodians of Your Family History

Some of our clients have come back every year or two since we first started, so we now have a beautiful archive of portrait photographs of their family from baby portraits right through to school-age family portraits! It’s for this reason (and because we never destroy ANYTHING) that we consider ourselves custodians of your family history.

What Are You Waiting For?

Regardless of the size/shape/style of your family, NOW is the best time for portraits! Time doesn’t slow down – it only gets faster as children get older, so give us a call and tell us why family is so special to you and what you’d like captured about right now. We’d LOVE to help!
