G'day! I'm Jay.

I’m a portrait photographer based in the beautiful Sutherland Shire in Sydney.

Being a dad to three (STUNNING) girls has shown me just how important it is to be in the photos, not just taking them.

My approach is super simple: I get to know you,, keep the session relaxed and fun, and create portraits that actually feel like you.

When I'm not behind the camera, you'll find me at home with my crew, baking banana bread in the air fryer and having cuddles with Bonnie (our sooky blue Staffy).

FAQ

Where do the photo shoots take place?

My airy, private, light-filled studio is based in Sutherland (about 45 minutes south of Sydney CBD). Choose from a studio session or an outdoor session at a beautiful river-side reserve near the studio.

I hate being in front of the camera – how can you make me look good?

I provide a comfortable, guided experience—no awkward posing, just natural, flattering moments that make every parent feel at ease and beautiful in front of the camera. You can trust in my 18+ years of experience in natural posing and flattering angles, to highlight what truly makes you beautiful.

Can you help me decide where to display my photos at home?

I don’t just deliver digital files—I work with you to design artwork that fits your home and lifestyle, turning your memories into meaningful, lasting displays.

My kids refuse to sit still – I can never get good photos of them! Can you handle this?

Whether your family is loud and chaotic, or quiet and reserved, my goal as a family portrait photographer is to capture your energy and vibe so when you look at your photos you’ll think, “that’s totally us!”. If we’re outdoors, I’ll let your kids explore, climb trees, go in for big hugs, and splash in the water while I capture every beautiful childhood moment. If we’re in the studio, I’ll let the kids jump on the furniture (don’t tell my wife), and have dance competitions.

I have no idea what to wear – help!

I offer personalised styling guidance in the lead up to your family photo shoot. Whether you’re more into bright colours, or a more muted palette, I’ll can help you find a cohesive style for the whole family so you’ll walk away with photos that reflect your true personalities.

How do we choose our photos?

After your session, we’ll sit down in the studio and go through your photos on the big screen (with drinks and snacks, of course). I’ll then guide you through choosing your favourites and I’ll help you design the perfect artwork to suit your home and tastes. You’ll finalise and pay for your order at this appointment.
