Family Photographer in Langwarrin, Melbourne
From a newborn's first weeks to three generations together, family sessions in the studio are relaxed, warm and built around everyone in the frame, including the ones who won't sit still.
Every family, its own world
Some families love soft, neutral tones; others want colour, tradition and their best outfits. We plan the backdrops and colours together before your session, so everyone looks like they belong in the frame.

“Arianna is fantastic! We had such a great experience with her during my daughter’s first birthday photo shoot. Every photo turned out beautifully. I’m looking forward to working with her again for my daughter’s birthday party!”

Questions
-
Coordinated colours work beautifully, from a simple all-white look to soft tones that suit your backdrop. Avoid large logos. Tell me your colours when you enquire and I'll suggest backdrops that suit them.
-
They rarely do on cue, and that's completely fine. We take breaks, I keep things playful, and some of the best frames happen in between.
-
Yes, please bring a simple cake in colours that suit your theme. I style the set, and we'll plan it together beforehand.
-
Yes, three-generation portraits are some of the most treasured. Families with grandparents are booked as an extended family session, with more time to photograph each part of the family. Let me know numbers when you enquire so I can plan the set.
-
Yes, family pets are welcome. A small surcharge applies to cover the extra set-up and clean-up, quoted when you enquire. Let me know about your pets so I can plan the set and timing around them.
-
Your edited images arrive within 5 business days of your session, or of receiving your favourites from the preview gallery. Important: we don't keep images indefinitely, so please back up your files in at least two places as soon as they arrive.
