If you’re parenting toddlers or teens — or both! — you already know how fast life moves. One moment you’re wiping sticky hands and tying tiny shoelaces, and the next you’re watching them scroll through playlists with headphones on and a don’t-take-my-photo eye roll.
And yet, these years — messy, busy, beautiful — are exactly the ones worth remembering.
Whether your children are just learning to walk or already taller than you, now is the perfect time to freeze this moment with a timeless black-and-white family portrait.
School Holidays = The Ideal Time for a Family Shoot
We know how hectic term time can be — sports, homework, music lessons, social lives. So when school holidays roll around, there’s a rare opportunity to just pause. No uniforms. No morning rush. Just a little more breathing room for time together.
That’s why school breaks are one of the best times to book your family photo shoot — especially if you’ve been putting it off or trying to “find the right time.”
At my Greenslopes Daylight Studio, weekday and weekend sessions are available during the holidays — giving you the flexibility to choose what works best for your family. No stress, no rush. Just real moments captured beautifully.
Why It’s Worth Documenting This Stage — No Matter the Age
You might feel like this isn’t a “big milestone” moment. It’s not their first birthday or a graduation. But honestly? This is the stuff you’ll want to look back on the most. Here’s why:
1. They’ll Never Be Exactly This Age Again
The cheeky grin of your five-year-old. The awkward charm of your twelve-year-old. The quiet confidence in your teenager’s eyes. These subtle stages disappear before you even realise they’ve passed.
2. They’re Changing Faster Than You Think
Even if you had photos done a year ago — a lot has changed. From missing baby teeth to new heights (literally!), each shoot captures a totally different chapter.
3. You’re In It Too
Let’s be honest: parents are rarely in the photos. You’re the one holding the camera, organising everything, making it all happen. These portraits give you the chance to be seen — as the family you truly are, all together.
4. A Gift for Them Later
You’re creating more than just keepsakes. You’re giving your children — and future grandchildren — a way to look back and feel connected to who you were as a family, right now.
The Signature Black & White Experience
For over 30 years, I’ve specialised in black and white family photography that focuses on emotion, connection, and authenticity — without the distraction of trends or backgrounds.
Every shoot is relaxed, thoughtful, and personal. I’ll guide you through it all, from the moment you arrive at the studio to the final artwork we create together. My Greenslopes Daylight Studio offers beautiful natural light and a calm, homely environment that brings out the best in everyone — even the shy ones.
No stiff posing, no fake smiles — just your real family, beautifully captured.
Weekday or Weekend Shoots Available
Whether you’re wrangling toddlers or coordinating with teens’ busy social lives, I offer flexible weekday and weekend sessions to make it easy for you. School holidays are an especially great time to book while everyone’s schedules align.
So if you’ve been waiting for the “right” time — this is it.
Let’s Make This Moment Last
These days don’t stay. But what you can keep are the moments — the hugs, the eye rolls, the giggles, the love. Captured simply and honestly, in timeless black and white.
