Does this sound like you?

You keep meaning to get it done.
Life just keeps getting in the way.

Your family photos are years out of date.The kids look nothing like the last photos on your wall. You keep saying you'll do it - but somehow it never happens.
Your website or portfolio looks dated.You know you need updated headshots, but it keeps sliding down the priority list.
Your performer deserves photos that match their talent.Whether they dance, sing or perform - what they do is extraordinary. Their photos should be too.
You've never loved a photo of yourself.Candid shots feel unflattering. The idea of a photo shoot sounds awkward. You're not sure it's really for you.
The timing never feels quite right.The kids are at a crazy age. Work is busy. You're waiting until things settle. But this age won't last.
You want to do something that actually matters.Not just for yourself - something that gives back and connects to something bigger.

Here's your chance to do something about all of it.

I'd love to be part of this

Here's what you get for just $190

I'm looking for Sydney families, business owners and performers who'd love to be part of an unforgettable portrait experience. Whether you've been meaning to update your family photos, refresh your business headshots, or capture something truly special of your dancer or performer - this is your chance to do it while giving back to a cause that matters.

A fun, feel-good, fully guided photo shoot in my private, light-filled Sutherland studio or outdoors - relaxed, personal, and nothing like what you're picturing when you imagine a "formal shoot."
An in-studio design consultation - enjoy your photos on a big-screen slideshow and I'll guide you through choosing and order your favourites
$150 credit to put toward any artwork you love - framed prints, canvas, portrait albums or digital files. Yours to spend however feels right.

$90 of your $190 participation fee is donated directly to St Vincent's Hospital Sydney. Plus, 5% of all artwork sales goes to the hospital on top of that. The more families, performers and business owners who take part - the closer we get to $10,000.

This is your chance to do something meaningful for a cause close to home, and walk away with portraits you will be so glad you have. Sessions are limited and expected to fill quickly.

Count me in!

Why this campaign exists

A cause that's very close to home.

In 2021, during covid, my brother-in-law Mark suffered a massive heart attack and was placed on life support. Thanks to the miracle workers at St Vincent's Hospital Sydney, he was given a second chance at life - receiving an unbelievable and complex surgery to be fitted with an LVAD (a mechanical heart), which served as a bridging device until he received a life-saving heart transplant.

His story not only involves the incredible medical team, but also the families who watch a loved one suffer, and the selfless donor families who make an incredibly difficult - yet life-saving - decision to give the gift of life to someone in need.

So I'm on a mission to give back - and I'd love for you to be part of it. ❤️

- Jay, Delight Images

Help Fund Mobile Telemetry Units, Because Every Second Counts.

Mobile telemetry units provide real-time monitoring of a patient’s heart and vital signs, alerting clinical teams instantly if something goes wrong. With them, clinicians can respond immediately to life-threatening changes, preventing complications and saving lives. Your support will bring these critical devices into the hands of our hospitals, ensuring no warning sign is missed, and no patient goes unseen when it matters most.

Is this right for you?

✓ This is for you if...

You're always behind the camera and barely appear in your own family photos
You're a business owner who wants to leave a strong first impression
You have a performer (dancer, singer, musician) who deserves to have their passion captured beautifully
You're not a "photo person" but you're open to being guided and surprised
You want to give back to something that genuinely matters

✗ This probably isn't for you if...

You're after a quick digital package you'll never do anything with
You want an in-and-out photo shoot with no personal attention or guidance
You're looking for the cheapest option rather than something you'll keep forever
You just want generic headshots with no personality

Four easy steps. Portraits you'll love forever.

Simple, guided, and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish.

Your Photo Shoot

A fully guided, relaxed session in my Sutherland studio or outdoors. No awkward posing. Whether it's a family, a dancer in their element, or a polished business portrait - just real, authentic moments captured beautifully.

Design Consultation

Enjoy your photos on the big screen for the first time. I'll guide you through choosing your favourites and designing artwork that's perfect for your home or office.

Artwork Collection

In 2-3 weeks your finished artwork is ready to collect. Hang it. Admire it. Know that it went towards saving lives. 5% of all artwork sales donated directly to the hospital.

Sounds great - I'm in

Questions?

This is the most common thing I hear - and it's almost always connected to bad experiences with candid shots or rushed sessions where nobody guided you. A guided portrait session is completely different. I'll walk you through every moment and keep the mood light.

Perfect - because the session isn't about sitting still. I work with your kids' energy, not against it. Before a single photo is taken, I give the kids time to warm up and get comfortable in the studio. Chaotic sessions often produce the best and most genuine photos.

Absolutely. The session is fully guided and tailored to what you need. Before the shoot, we'll have a discovery call to plan the shots, the look, and the feel. You'll walk away with images that are polished, professional, and actually represent your brand.

Yes - and this is one of my favourite things to photograph. I have three daughters who dance, so I understand both the artistry and the emotion involved. A performer's session is energetic, expressive, and usually one of the most fun shoots in my studio.

This is covered. Before your session, I provide personalised styling guidance to help you put together a cohesive look for everyone involved. Whether you love bright colours or prefer a more muted palette, you don't have to figure it out alone.

$90 of your $190 session fee is donated directly to St Vincent's Hospital Sydney for heart research. On top of that, 5% of everything you purchase at your design consultation is also donated.

My studio is at 800 Old Princes Highway, Sutherland NSW - about 45 minutes south of Sydney CBD, with easy parking. Families, business owners and performers from all across Sydney make the trip regularly and say it's well worth it.

I'll be in touch within 24 hours for a quick, no-pressure discovery call to get to know you and what you're looking for. I'll answer any remaining questions, plan your session, and book your date. There's no commitment until you're ready to move forward.

About the photographer

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. Whether I'm photographing a family who've been "meaning to do it for years," a young dancer who lights up in front of my camera, or a business owner who wants to make a strong first impression - my approach is the same: get to know you first, keep things relaxed and fun, and create results 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.

These moments won't wait.
Neither will this offer.

Capture what matters right now - and help fund the research that means more families get more time together.

Sessions are limited. $90 + 5% of sales donated in full to St Vincent's Hospital Sydney.
