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. Do you prefer the timeless allure of black and white or the vibrant charm of color in the image below?

What the Session Looked Like

  1. Warming up through play. We started with movement—tag, leaf tossing, and exploring—that helped the kids relax and engage naturally.

  2. Connection-focused portraits. Once the energy settled, we captured snuggles, soft smiles, and little moments of calm between bursts of fun.

  3. Parent and sibling combos. Each relationship got its own spotlight, making the final gallery rich and heartfelt.

  4. A no-stress experience. With gentle guidance, flexibility, and plenty of time, we made sure the session flowed at the family’s pace.
