Melbourne Family Photographer

As a Melbourne Family Photographer, I get asked a lot about the best locations and times for family photos. The truth is, it really depends on how old your children are, and what type of setting and feel you want your family portraits to portray. Outdoor settings are always popular, and the best time for these sessions is in the late afternoon, just before sunset, to capture that beautiful golden hour light. However, if you have young children, we may need to consider a location where we don’t have to worry about the midday sun or potential heat.

When it comes to seasons, Autumn and Spring are the best times to have family photography Melbourne sessions. These seasons provide a beautiful backdrop of changing leaves or blooming flowers, creating a stunning and colourful atmosphere. Booking in advance is key, as these seasons tend to fill up quickly. As a Melbourne family photographer, I work with my clients to choose a location that is meaningful to you, whether that be in the city or in a natural setting, to create a backdrop that reflects their family’s personality and style.

Ultimately, the location and time of your family photography session is something we will decide together.

Choosing what to wear for your Melbourne family photos can be a fun process! When it comes to clothing, Melbourne family photographer Jacinta  recommends keeping it simple and timeless!

Jacinta will send you a style guide when you book, and is happy to help you style your family in a way that suits your home and personalities. For your outfits, consider using tones that suit the season and think about layering patterns and textures that complement each other. Adding accessories like hats, scarves, or vests can add a nice touch to your images. It’s best to avoid busy patterns, and try to coordinate colours and styles with the location we are heading to. Also, please don’t feel the need to match everyone in white shirts. Instead, choose outfits that reflect your family’s unique personalities and style.

Finally, avoid clothing with logos or branding, as it can date and take away from your family. The key is to wear something that you feel confident and comfortable in, and that reflects your family’s individuality. At the end of the day, your wardrobe should showcase your family’s love and connection, and I’m here to help guide you every step of the way!

Each family session lasts around 1 to 1.5 hours and the session will be a relaxed and fun-filled afternoon for the whole family. Melbourne family photographer Jacinta, loves connecting with clients and will work with you to capture authentic, emotive and real moments of your family.

Melbourne family portrait sessions are a mixture of posed portraiture and lifestyle photography. As a Melbourne family photographer I believe the entire purpose of photography is to capture emotion, and authentic moments between you and your loved ones.

After your family session you’ll return to our Melbourne portrait studio located in Hillside Melbourne. Your design consultation occurs approximately 2-3 weeks after your session.
