Connected Family Photography

Imagine a portrait of your child, your family, you.

Confident, connected, hopeful, content. 

In times of strife & struggle, they can look back to that portrait and re-centre – assured of the place where they truly belong. 

You Can Re-centre.

People form relationships with people and photographs are what we hold on to when we can’t hold on in person. Photographs speak every language.

“True belonging doesn’t require us to change who we are, it requires us to be who we are.” – Brene Brown

For me, family photography is all about creating anchors. Anchors to the truth of you and those you love; anchors to connection, memories and milestones. Memory can be a tricky thing, but link it to a photo and you can step right back into the experience, almost as if you were there.

The Montessori ideology, a pedagogy developed by Maria Montessori, emphasises the importance of self-directed learning and independence. At Ipswich Photography Studio, this ideology is applied in my photography approach to capture portraits that are about the child, not just pictures of them. This approach creates portraits that truly reflect the unique personalities and characteristics of your child, your family.

A little choice goes a long way and I understand that it’s essential to make children feel comfortable and relaxed during their portrait sessions. The studio creates a calm and welcoming environment that is conducive to producing high-quality portraits that capture your child’s true essence.
