Family Photography

I love the significance of the family photograph

Each day as my boys walk past their photos hanging on our wall, they’re reminded of how they’ve grown. My boys, once so little and cute are now young men, well on their way to adulthood.

Our family photos tell our story, our triumphs and struggles and how much we’ve all evolved. Photos are a reminder of our last family holiday in Wales, right before my oldest son transformed into a young man. Our family photos evoke a sense of pride, sentimentality and belonging, especially for my boys.

My biggest regret is waiting until the boys were 7 and 10 years old to have our first professional family photo. Sure, I have snapshots, but I wish I’d invested in professional family portraits when they were little. I wish there were photos of a ‘younger’ me with my little boys, when they were chubby and mischievous toddlers. But my biggest wish is that I’d been in more photos with them. Because memories fade so easily, don’t they? And in the future, when my boys are grown men with families of their own, I wonder if they’ll remember their childhood with me.

When parents resist being in a photo, I remind them of my regret. Be in the photo for your kids! Because in 10 years, you’ll look back and realise how young and fantastic you looked. But importantly, your kids will remember you were there too. And that is a priceless keepsake.

Your Family Legacy in Photographs

“Rachel makes the mundane magical, she makes it easy and fun!” – Alexandra Matterson.

On the day of your family session we’ll meet at the studio, or if you’ve opted for the outdoors, one of my stunning locations in the Blue Mountains area. The family session lasts for a relaxed and fun-filled hour and the focus is on capturing authentic moments between your family members.

There are no awkward poses and fake smiles, just real moments of affection. We’ll laugh and chat while I document your family’s natural interaction. The connections, the laughter, the cuddles, and all the moments in between. These are the memories you and your children will cherish in years to come.
