Relaxed Family Photo Session at Lavender Bay

May 23

There’s something truly magical about photographing families outdoors—and Lavender Bay never disappoints.

This gorgeous family booked a relaxed family photo session in North Sydney just before sunset, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The late afternoon light shimmered over the harbour, the kids were full of laughter, and Mum and Dad were relaxed, simply soaking up the moment.

Why Outdoor Family Photography Works So Well

If you’re feeling a bit nervous about how your kids will “behave” during a photo shoot—please don’t worry. In fact, outdoor family sessions like this one are perfect for energetic little ones. They can explore, move, and just be themselves. My approach is gentle, fun, and focused on capturing your family as you really are—connected, joyful, and present.

The Lavender Bay Backdrop

From the charming sandstone steps to the iconic harbour views, Lavender Bay is one of Sydney’s best photo shoot locations for families. The natural textures and peaceful setting allow your family’s love and connection to shine without distractions.

We spent time strolling, laughing, and letting the kids take the lead—and the result is a beautiful collection of natural, timeless family portraits that this family will treasure for years.
