How to Book

Hello, I'm Elena, mum of three beautiful and chaotic children. An escaped accountant turned photographer. Lover of food, sunshine and creating memories.

I treasure capturing the moments your body grew and nurtured a little life. To bringing your bundle of joy into this world and cradling them in your arms. To reflecting on your baby’s milestones; from sitting, to crawling, even walking. To the beauty of your family's connection and each unique personality.

I am passionate with creating a memorable experience for you and your family, while capturing those, flaws and flawless moments. The beauty of such an art truly fulfils my heart. Especially seeing the sparkle in your eyes and your gratifying face, when you hold those images in your hands. 

Let's embark on this journey together.

CLIENT WARDROBE

BACK TO THE TOP

WHAT

to

WEAR

LADIES

No need to make any last-minute shopping trips for outfits. Our thoughtfully curated client wardrobe includes a beautiful selection of clothing in a variety of tones, a range of stylish pieces for children—think shirts, t-shirts, chinos, shorts, dresses, and more in different sizes and timeless styles. Simply let me know your children's sizes, and I’ll send through some options for you to choose from.




TIP 1
Choose clean, neutral-toned outfits in colours that complement one another—think whites, beiges, creams, soft browns, and other earthy shades. We recommend avoiding patterns or visible logos, as they can draw attention away from the connection and emotion in your images.

TIP 2
Please ensure nails are clean and, if wearing nail polish, opt for soft, natural tones. Your hands often find their way into the frame in the most tender moments.

TIP 3
Hair should be neatly styled, and makeup kept fresh and natural, avoiding heavy or dramatic colours for a soft, classic look.

TIP 4
Shoe selection isn't necessary, as I generally photograph clients barefooted.

STYLING TIPS

ALL FAMILY MEMBERS

We recommend preparing ahead of your session for a smooth and relaxed experience.

OUTFIT PLANNING
  • Have your outfit choices ready or at least an idea of what you, your partner, and children (if any) will wear. Please refer to 'What to Wear' in this document, if you are stuck on ideas. Don't forget to read through the 'Styling Tips' in this document.

TIMING AND ARRIVAL
  • Plan ahead to allow enough time to leave the house and find street parking before your session. The studio is a short walk from the street.

THE MORNING OF THE SESSION

EXPERIENCE

AT HOME


AT THE STUDIO


AT THE STUDIO


The studio is kept at a comfortable 20–25°C, creating a cosy and relaxed environment for the whole family. If at any point you’d prefer the air conditioner adjusted, especially with energetic little ones, please don’t hesitate to let me know. Your family’s comfort is always my priority.

Melbourne family photography sessions are calm, playful, and unhurried, typically running between 45 minutes to 1.5 hours. We follow the natural rhythm of your family, taking breaks when needed and gently moving at a pace that keeps everyone feeling at ease.

We’ll begin with group portraits, capturing your family together in studio family photography or outdoor family photography in Melbourne. From there, we’ll explore combinations - siblings, parent-child connections, and couple portraits. And of course, space is always made for those sweet, unscripted in-between moments that make your family story truly yours.

Feel free to snap a few behind-the-scenes photos or videos on your phone to share with loved ones. You're also more than welcome to post them on social media—don’t forget to tag us:

SOME MORE HANDY TIPS

TIP 1
Chat with your children beforehand to prep them for a fun “modelling session.” You are welcome to bring along iPads, books, or toys to keep them entertained during the session.

TIP 2
Light refreshments (tea, coffee, water, biscuits) are provided. However, feel free to bring your own snacks or meals for yourselves and your child/ren.
