When was the last time you had a photograph with your whole family that wasn't taken on someone's phone?
As parents, we're usually the ones taking the photographs. We have hundreds of our children, but far fewer of ourselves with them.
That's what I love about family photography. Having everyone together, including you, and creating photographs that feel like your family rather than a version of yourselves you've been asked to perform for the camera.
I offer relaxed, thoughtfully guided family photography across the Hunter Valley, Newcastle, Maitland and Sydney. We'll choose a location you love, I'll help you with what to wear, and you can leave the rest to me.

Extended Family Sessions
There's something really special about getting the whole family together, especially when it doesn't happen nearly as often as we'd like.
Whether it's grandparents with their grandchildren, siblings with their own growing families, or three generations together, I'd love to help you organise a session that includes everyone.
Extended family sessions are quoted individually, allowing us to plan around the number of people attending and the photographs you'd love to have.

Christina is absolutely amazing at what she does! Our family photos are truly to die for. She is so gentle and wonderful with the kids, making the whole experience feel so natural and relaxed. Her eye for detail is second to none, and every photo is just beautiful. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough!
We had our family photoshoot with Christina and I couldn't be happier with the whole experience. Not only is she super talented at what she does, but she was so lovely and made me and my whole family feel so comfortable in front of her camera. The experience was calm, connected and one we will never forget. Thank you Christina! xx

Frequently Asked Questions
I recommend getting in touch at least one month before your preferred session date to ensure availability.
If you're hoping to book between October and December, I'd recommend booking at least three months in advance. This is my busiest time of year, particularly for weekend and sunset sessions, and dates tend to fill quickly.
Where will our family session take place?
I photograph families outdoors across Sydney, Newcastle and the Hunter Valley, as well as in my studio.
Once you've booked, I'll send you my location guide with a selection of beautiful, tried-and-tested locations. We can choose somewhere that suits your family, whether that's an open grassy field, a quiet beach or something a little different.
Outdoor sessions are generally scheduled around sunset for the best light.

You don't need to buy an entirely new wardrobe for your family photographs!
I'll send you a styling guide to help you coordinate everyone's outfits, and you'll also have access to my client wardrobe with a selection of dresses for mums.
If you're unsure whether something will photograph well, you're always welcome to send me a few options and I'll help you decide.
I have two young boys of my own, so believe me when I say I don't expect your children to sit perfectly still and smile for an entire hour 😂
We'll take our time, let them have a little fun and work around their personalities. I'll guide you when needed, but there's no pressure for your children to behave a certain way.
Some of my favourite photographs happen when nobody is paying much attention to the camera anyway.
Absolutely! I love photographing extended families, and these sessions are available by personalised quote.
If you'd like to include grandparents, siblings or multiple families, please get in touch with a little information about who's coming along. I'll put together a quote based on your family and what you're hoping to capture.
What happens if someone is sick or the weather is bad?
If someone in your family is unwell, please let me know as soon as possible so we can organise another date.
For outdoor sessions, I'll keep an eye on the forecast as your booking approaches. If the weather isn't suitable, we'll arrange to reschedule. There's no need to worry about making that decision weeks in advance.

I'd love to photograph your family.
Whether your children are still little or somehow growing up far too quickly, family photographs are something you'll never regret having.
Tell me a little about your family and what you have in mind, and I'll be in touch with everything you need to know about booking your session.
