Natural Family Portraits at Callan Park, Sydney
Cherished Family Moments at Callan Park, Sydney
There’s something truly timeless about family photography in nature—and Callan Park in Sydney’s Inner West is one of those magical places where every corner tells a story. I was delighted when this family chose the park as the setting for their portrait session. With its open lawns, towering gums, and heritage sandstone architecture, Callan Park offered the perfect blend of play and calm.
We spent a relaxed morning exploring the park, beginning near the historic buildings before heading into the greenery. The children led the way—laughing, climbing, and cuddling up with Mum and Dad between adventures. The joy and connection between them was effortless, and I was there to quietly capture it all.
