Miss S Turns Three: Birthday Portraits at Lavender Bay
Three is such a beautiful age—equal parts wild wonder, bold personality, and sudden tenderness. And little Miss S brought all of that and more to her third birthday photo session at Watt Park in Lavender Bay.
The late afternoon light filtered softly through the trees, and Miss S made the most of it—twirling in the open grassy space, climbing wooden benches, and stopping to collect every leaf and flower along the way. We didn’t rush. We followed her pace, letting the session unfold like a story: joyful, curious, and full of movement.
Why a 3rd Birthday Session Outdoors?
It celebrates personality. At three, children are full of character. Sessions like these give them space to shine just as they are.
Nature adds magic. Watt Park’s mix of open green space, stone steps, and harbour views creates a soft, playful backdrop without distractions.
It’s fun and relaxed. There’s no need to sit still or pose perfectly—just twirl, giggle, and cuddle with Mum or Dad between the leaves.
What Made This Session Special
Child-led moments. We followed Miss S’s natural curiosity—she was our director for the day.
Movement + magic. From skipping across sandstone paths to playing hide-and-seek behind trees, everything was rooted in play.
Family connection. The highlight? A spontaneous group cuddle that led to a burst of laughter I managed to freeze mid-moment.
A keepsake forever. These weren’t just photos—they were a joyful memory her family will revisit for years to come.
