Kids sure do grow up quickly. It’s important to mark those little moments now, and update your family photos before they grow up. In a few years, asking the kids to participate in any family activity that involves removing earbuds and putting down the iPhone will be like pulling teeth. You’ll quickly find yourself in a negotiation about extra internet time via text message or Snapchat. Chances might improve slightly if you arrange a surprise photo shoot where rare Pokémon spawn. It’s much easier to photograph the kids while they’re still little enough to be coaxed into it gently — bribery becomes much more expensive as they get older. Jelly snake, or new iPhone?

I love spending the day with beautiful families. For a small moment, I get to be part of their world — like a fly on the wall, capturing connection, emotion and little candid moments that only they share. A family photo session doesn’t need to be about matching t-shirts and strained smiles. Canberra has so many forgotten locations to explore, making the day fun and exciting for everyone. Let me take you on an adventure, and while we’re there I’ll create beautiful images you’ll want to hang on your wall year after year.

So what are you waiting for? Time doesn’t stand still — but a photo on your wall does.
