More Than Just a Photo- It’s Your Story

Kyla, Andrew, and their girls travelled from sunny Orlando to Sydney for a special family photoshoot by the harbour. We met at sunrise, with soft winter light casting a glow over the Opera House and Harbour Bridge.

The girls were full of energy and laughter as we explored beside Sydney harbor, capturing natural, joyful moments.

Their session was relaxed, genuine, and full of love – creating timeless portraits they’ll cherish forever as a reminder of their Australian adventure.

What are people saying?

Jennifer

WOW! Sarah made us feel so comfortable, and the photos were absolutely breathtaking. She captured memories of our trip of a lifetime perfectly.

Sarah has been amazing to work with. She did a fantastic job with our photo session, and we’re all thrilled with the images. I highly recommend her!

We enjoyed our shoot with Sarah and loved all the photos. They are all works of art and we will book another session again in Paris or Dubai in the future.

Frequently Asked Question

How do I book a session?

Booking is easy! Simply contact us through our website, email, or phone to discuss availability and details. A $200 USD Booking Fee is required to secure your date.

Can we do two different locations?

Yes absolutely. Most sessions include portraits with the Opera House and Harbour Bridge.

Add on sessions are available for $175 and can be held at a different time or within a few days. Perfect for those people wanting both:

Sydney Opera House + Bondi Beach Session
Surprise Proposal + Engagement Session
Family Sessions + Senior Session
Graduation + Family Session

Do you offer prints or just digital images?

We offer both! Digital files are very popular but we highly recommend investing in prints, wall art, or a beautiful album to truly bring your images to life.

While sharing photos online is wonderful, our goal is for you to enjoy your Sydney portraits every single day – displayed in your home, not just stored on a screen.

How long does a photoshoot take?

Session lengths vary depending on the type of shoot. Sydney Portrait sessions typically last 60-90 minutes. Add an additional hour on to your shoot for $175.

More extensive sessions, like Personal Branding Sessions can take several hours.

What should we wear?

Wear outfits that make you feel confident and comfortable. Solid colours, minimal patterns, and coordinating (but not matching) outfits work best for group photos.

Don’t worry - I’ll send you a 'What to Wear Guide' with tips on outfits that will look great in photos and feel true to your style. We’ll make sure you look and feel your best!

What happens if the weather is bad for an outdoor session?

If the weather doesn’t cooperate, where possible we can reschedule for another time or day. We’ll stay in touch and make the best decision together.

When will I receive my photos?

Within a week you will see a sneak peak from your photo session and the full gallery is usually shared within 2 weeks. Rush processing is available upon request.

MEMORIES TO TREASURE

Time moves fast – especially when you're watching your children grow. The cheeky smiles, the cuddles, the in-between moments of family life can slip by in the blink of an eye. That’s why now is the perfect time to capture them.

A professional Sydney family photoshoot freezes these fleeting stages – from early childhood to the teenage years and beyond – so you can look back and remember just how it felt.

Each portrait becomes a treasured keepsake, telling the story of your family as it is right now.
