At the end of the day, it really doesn't matter where we take your photos. Great photos can be achieved in almost any location, as long as there is good natural light. However, why not take this opportunity to experience a beautiful location during your session and give yourself the space to really slow down and take in this moment in time.
We can take a walk through the woods, venture to the top of the hills or explore some of the many other beautiful locations in Canberra and surrounds.

In Your Home
Sometimes, the best location for your photo session is in the comfort of your own home. Not only will this give you some more flexibility with your session start time, but your photos will hold another layer of nostalgia being wrapped within the walls of your home; your memories.
Lifestyle sessions will help your children to feel relaxed and safe in their environment and allow your story to be documented in a more natural and authentic way.
If you need more help deciding, I am more than happy to discuss locations with you further or send you some more photos.
Of course, if you have any ideas of your own, I am always up for trying new locations!
If you have decided, let me know your choice and we will discuss any further details regarding your session.
