WANTED: Families To Photograph

I’m looking for 4 Brisbane families with 2–3 kids aged 2–12 who are happy to have a bit of fun and let me experiment with some new black & white portrait ideas.

I want to go beyond simply taking nice family photos and capture the things you’ll want to remember — their personalities, the laughs, cuddles, cheekiness and the way your kids are with each other right now.

Because this stage changes quickly. They grow, they change, and before long the little things you see every day become the things you miss most.

The goal is to create photographs that give you that feeling of knowing you’ve captured this part of your family’s story — memories you can see, enjoy and keep in your home for years to come.

The sessions will take place at my studio in The Gap on Saturday 19 September.

As a thank you, your family will receive a photography session plus your choice of an 11×14" Fine Art Matted Portrait or $300 artwork credit.

You’ll have the opportunity to purchase more photographs or artwork if you’d like to, but there’s no obligation.

I only need 4 families, and you’ll need to be happy for selected photographs to be used on my website, social media and marketing.

FAQ's

  • This project may be the perfect opportunity to create photographs you’d love to display at home. As a thank you for letting me try some new creative ideas, if selected you’ll receive your photography session plus either an 11×14" Fine Art Matted Portrait or $300 artwork credit. If you love more from your session, you’ll have the option to purchase additional artwork, with no obligation.

  • Because there are only 4 sessions available, a $100 reservation fee secures your family’s time. If you choose the 11×14" Fine Art Matted Portrait, the $100 can be refunded. If you choose artwork instead, the $100 is added to your artwork credit.

  • We’re creating a fresh collection of black & white family portraits and trying some new creative ideas.

    We’re looking for families who are happy to help us create photographs we can use on our website, social media and marketing.

    The goal is to create relaxed, fun portraits that capture the connection, personality and relationship of your unique family

  • Relaxed.

    Fun.

    And definitely not about making the kids sit perfectly and smile at the camera.

    We’ll guide you through everything while creating a mixture of beautiful portraits, cuddles, laughs and those little interactions that actually feel like your family.

    Your kids don’t need to be “good at photos”.

    They just need to be themselves.

  • Keep it super simple and timeless. Men and boys: blue jeans or chinos with a plain white long- or short-sleeve shirt. Ladies and girls: can wear the same or simple neutral or light-toned tops, dresses or blouses that feel comfortable and photograph well. Avoid large logos, patterns and anything too distracting — the focus should stay on your family.

What Brisbane families say about their family Portrait Experience

We've helped Brisbane families create relaxed, natural family portraits and beautiful artwork for their homes. Here's what some of them had to say.

Black and white portrait of a family of four sitting close together, smiling. The father and mother are in the middle, with the daughter on the father’s left and the son on the mother's right. The daughter has light hair, the son has short hair, and the mother is wearing glasses. They are against a plain black background.

Paul made our family photography session a thoroughly enjoyable experience! Relaxed, friendly and went above and beyond to get to know our family before the session to create talking points to make our kids feel comfortable. Thanks a million Paul!

They are on a dirt path surrounded by green trees and grass.

We recently worked with Paul for our family photography in Brisbane, and he was amazing. He provided a discovery session prior to the shoot to get to know my family so he had conversation on the day with my husband and 8 year old son making everyone instantly comfortable with him. We have recieved the photos and they have exceeded our expectations!!! Thank you again Paul for capturing our family so beautifully.

Paul did our family portraits in Brisbane and was absolutely amazing. He made everyone feel at ease, took the time to really understand what we wanted, and the results were outstanding. We ended up with some truly beautiful photos. Highly recommend Paul and his services.
