Every year, as November rolls gently into Brisbane, something beautiful begins to happen. The school year slows down, families start planning gatherings, flights are booked, kids return home from uni, and suddenly — almost magically — everyone is together again under one roof.
And right around this time, I start hearing the same question from parents:
“When should we book our family shoot?”
My answer never changes.
“Now. Because before you know it, another year will have passed — and you’ll wish you’d captured this moment while it was here.”
The Season of Coming Home
The lead-up to the holidays has always been my favourite time of year for family photography. Not just because of the warm, soft Brisbane light or the relaxed energy that naturally comes with the season — but because of what it represents.
Families reconnect.
Children come back older, wiser, taller.
Siblings reunite with effortless closeness.
And parents see, sometimes with a little shock, just how fast time is moving.
These are the moments worth holding onto.
For Our Katrina Christ Families — A Gentle Invitation
After photographing Brisbane families for more than 30 years, there’s something incredibly special about watching children grow through my lens — from tiny newborns to teenagers, and eventually, young adults returning home for the holidays.
That’s why this season, I’m opening a limited number of November and December portrait sessions exclusively for past clients.
You already know me.
You know the experience.
And you know how precious these portraits become over time.
This is the perfect moment to update your family photographs — especially if everyone is home, or will be soon.
Why You Shouldn’t Wait
People often assume they’ll have more time “next year” or “when things calm down.” But life rarely slows down the way we expect.
Kids leave again.
Schedules get busy.
Routines shift.
And before you know it… that perfect moment you meant to capture is already behind you.
This season is a small window — but a meaningful one.
Make the Most of This Beautiful Chapter
Whether your children are home for a short visit or you simply want to freeze this moment in your family’s story, I would be honoured to photograph you again.
These sessions are intentionally limited so every family receives the full care, attention, and artistry Katrina Christ is known for.
If you feel it’s time — or even if you’re just unsure — reach out.
Let’s capture your family exactly as they are right now… beautifully, honestly, and with heart.
Let’s Make Something You’ll Cherish Forever
The holidays come and go quickly. But the portraits we create together?
They last for generations.
If your family will be together this season, this is your moment.
I would love to help you preserve it.
