"He took his time to get the perfect shots, even when the dogs were distracted."
"He made us all feel so comfortable and took very natural photos. "
We had a photoshoot with our dogs and Jay made it run so smooth. He was great with our dogs and took his time to get the perfect shots, even when the dogs were distracted or not listening. He had meticulous attention to detail and ensured we had the best lighting and background for every photo. After the photoshoot, Jay took the time to go through every photo with so we could select the ones we loved.
I had been wanting to have family photos for the longest time. Jay was absolutely amazing!! He made us all feel so comfortable and took very natural photos. It didn’t feel like a photo shoot at all. We were so blown away by the photos that he captured. They were simply amazing!! I have had so many people comment on them since. I would highly recommend Jay to anyone looking for perfect photos of their family.
FAQ's
We’re just so busy – how are we going to find time for a photo shoot?
I get it – with three kids of my own I feel like I’m basically an unpaid Uber driver at this point! That’s why I’ve designed the whole experience to be quick, easy, and stress-free for busy parents like you.
No time to shop? I’ll guide you with simple styling tips (and even send you links to outfits if you need them).
Worried about a long session? I work fast—capturing a huge variety of beautiful images in under an hour, because I know kids don’t do “sit still” for long.
Not sure when you’ll choose your photos? Your in-studio design consultation is smooth and efficient—I’ll help you select your favourites and plan the perfect artwork for your home. If we’re doing a studio photo shoot, we can even do the design consultation at the same time to save you a second trip.
One more trip too hard? When your artwork is ready, just pop in for a quick collection—no fuss, no stress. If you have little ones in the car I’d be happy to bring your artwork downstairs and help you load it into the car.
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.
How much do extra photos cost?
I have spent years carefully sourcing the finest craftspeople around Australia, to bring you a stunning range of hand-made artwork products. From albums, to framed prints and canvases, I have a wide range of exciting ways for you to enjoy your family portraits at home. Pricing starts from $250 for desktop art, and $580 for wall art. Most of my families choose to invest $1500-2000 in their family portrait artwork, though there is no minimum spend and no obligation to purchase. You can discover more about my artwork range here.
G'Day! I'M JAY.
I’m a family portrait photographer based in the beautiful Sutherland Shire in Sydney.
I’m committed to making sure your family’s unique story is told through beautiful, hand-crafted artwork. My approach is all about getting to know you and your family so I can create portraits that truly reflect who you are.
With over 18 years under my belt as a full-time photographer, I spent 12 years photographing weddings before founding Delight Images in 2020.
Being a dad of three gorgeous girls has shown me how precious family photos are, and I’m passionate about capturing those real, raw moments that families can cherish forever.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me at home with my family, soaking up those everyday moments (and sneaking in a scotch and Game of Thrones ep when I can!).
If you’re after a photographer who gets you and your “why,” I think we’ll get along famously!
