When most families book a photo session, they’re usually thinking about one thing: Capturing this season of life before it changes.
The toddler who still reaches for your hand.
The teenager who’s suddenly taller than Mum.
The family dog who’s become part of every adventure.
It’s not about creating perfect photos. It’s about preserving a season you’ll never get back.
And while our signature black & white style remains a staple choice for Brisbane families, there’s a different charm when they opt to do coloured lifestyle photos. And each style tells your family’s story in its own beautiful way.
Our Signature Style: Timeless Black & White Portraits
For more than three decades, black and white portraiture has been the heart of Katrina Christ Photographer.
It’s what we’re known for.
There’s something incredibly powerful about removing colour from an image. Suddenly, your attention isn’t drawn to clothing, backgrounds, or trends.
Instead, you notice the things that truly matter.
The way your daughter leans into your shoulder.
The pride in Dad’s smile.
The tiny hands wrapped around Grandma’s fingers.
The laughter shared between siblings.
Black and white has a way of simplifying a photograph while making it infinitely more meaningful.
It’s timeless.
Years from now, these portraits won’t feel dated because they were never created to follow trends. They become beautiful pieces of artwork that celebrate the people you love most.
That’s why so many Brisbane families return year after year for our signature black and white portraits.
Because they know these images will never go out of style.
Lifestyle Photography in Colour: Your Family, Your Favourite Places
While black and white remains our signature, some stories are beautifully told in colour.
Lifestyle photography allows us to capture your family where life naturally happens.
Perhaps that’s at home, baking together in the kitchen or reading stories on the couch.
Maybe it’s your favourite Brisbane park where the kids love to run barefoot through the grass.
Or perhaps it’s an afternoon spent by the beach, chasing waves, collecting shells, and soaking up the Queensland sunshine.
Colour preserves more than your family.
It captures the atmosphere.
The warmth of golden afternoon light.
The rich greens of the trees.
The blues of the ocean.
The places that have become part of your family’s story.
These sessions are relaxed, playful, and filled with genuine moments, creating photographs that feel every bit as authentic as the memories themselves.
The Best Family Photos Aren’t About Perfection
Whether your portraits are in black and white or colour, the goal is always the same.
To capture connection.
Children don’t need to sit perfectly still.
Parents don’t need to know how to pose.
Life doesn’t need to look picture-perfect.
Some of the most meaningful photographs happen in the moments between the smiles.
The cuddles.
The laughter.
The glance that only your family understands.
As a Brisbane Family Photographer, those are the moments I look for.
Because they’re the moments you’ll remember.
Which Style Is Right for Your Family?
The wonderful thing is, there isn’t a wrong answer.
If you’re drawn to timeless artwork that will look just as beautiful decades from now as it does today, our signature black and white portraits are what we’re known for.
If you’d love to preserve your family’s favourite places and the beautiful colours that surround your everyday adventures, our lifestyle photography sessions offer a relaxed and natural way to tell that story.
Whichever style speaks to you, the photographs will always be centred on what matters most.
Your connection.
Your love.
Your family.

Whether you’re welcoming a new baby, navigating the wonderfully busy years of raising children, or gathering the whole family together once again, your story is worth preserving.
