One of the joys of having been a portrait photographer for over a decade is getting to watch families grow. We first met this family in 2011 at one of the sisters weddings when the oldest grand children were flowers girls and a page boy! Since when we've captured family portraits, milestone birthdays and now back for an extended family portrait session with all the grandchildren. What a priviledge!
-
One of the hardest things about COVID lockdowns has been the separation of families, even in the same country people have not been able to see each other for years. Well this family were delighted to see each other after 2 and a half years travelling over from WA to NSW and wanted me to capture the memories for them at their gorgeous home in the southern highlands.
What a pleasure!

Mosman Cricket Club had an amazing season this year with First Grade winning the premiership for the first time in 87 years, but not only that Second Grade also won the premiership. Wow now that needs to be celebrated! Which they did on numberous occasions....
The formal celebration of the year was the presentation night awarding all those that contributed to the year. I was asked to capture the evening and enjoyed the atmosphere as well. The club feels like family which I think you can see from these photos.
Congratulations to the whole club players, coaches, officials and families that support them all.

Family portrait fun in the rain in Sydney gumboots and umbrellas Wendy Whiteleys Garden Lavender Bay
What to do when we have a very wet summer in Sydney, that seems to go on forever.... embrace it with gumboots and umbrellas!
This family were booked for a family portrait mini session earlier this autumn but on the day couldn't attend so change to a Weekday 40:40 session a month later as we took a while to find a date that worked. When it arrived the weather didn't look great, with rain forcast but that seemed to be the cast for every day this year so instead of rescheduling again the family decided to embrace the weather and we carried on with gumboots and umbrellas while exploring Wendy Whiteley's secret garden.
A fabulous morning!

Our seasonal mini sessions are always fun. Some people worry about the 10 mins but it's plenty of time to capture a snippet of your family.
Here are are some quick highlights of the families who came to Wendy Whiteley's Secret Garden on Sunday.
If you'd like to hear when our next sessions are being held please see our booking page.#capturenow

This was the fabulous extended family that I finally got to meet last weekend. We've been rescheduling them since last July with lockdowns, COVID Iso, etc. On Saturday I was very worried about the session as the forecast looked to grim but they wanted to go ahead and look what happened....
Beautiful sunshine, and as tends to happen with lots of shoots we start off being formal and then everyone relaxes and realises this is way more fun than they thought and their true personalities come through.... I love the last photo with the grandparents hanging from a tree!
-
This afternoon when I left home is as just starting rain with a storm front coming, but I checked the radar and thought we should be ok for our 40 min session at North Narrabeen Rockpool. The day has been stinking hot and it was the first week of kids back at school, so I hadn't factored in how many people would be down at the Rockpool cooling off. Even on a busy day you can make the most of the beautiful setting here for photography.
As you can see we did get out window (just) before the storm, we even got some salami waves (that's was the youngest boy called the big waves as he can't say Tsunami) - the things out kids have learnt this summer! And we enjoy some family time with grand parents over visiting from the UK for the first time in 2 years.
-
The advantages of Australia opening up to the world again is that international family can now visit... Yay!During January I was lucky enough to capture memories for a few families who had grandparents visiting for the first time in 2 years. It's so lovely to see that these bonds are still very strong even with the imposed distance.This families are half Australian and half French, the last time they had photos with their grandmother was in England. So we picked an Aussie beach scene, which still works even on an overcast day.
-
When the kids are young we tend to think about having family portraits regularly because they grow and change so quickly. As they get older it start to drop off and family portraits are captured at events, or on family holidays. Well in the last couple of years there hasn't been as many of these with Lockdowns and COVID restrictions. So this Mum requested some family portraits of her teens before they fly the coop.
Teens tend to be a little less willing to have their photos taken, but picking a location they have an affinity with helps, and it doesn't take too long for everyone to relax and get into the shoot.
-
Family portraits with young children are my favourite, spending some time capturing how they interact with each other and getting to know the kids a little is what I do best. Sometimes it takes a little while to see what makes the kids happy but with these two it was fun immediately. Their little boy became my best buddy and wanted to always hold my hand down steps... the only tricky part was getting him to let go so I could use my camera.
What a lovely morning I had playing and photographing this family x
-
First Holy Communion is a special time for the whole family, and this family decided to commemorate it was a special family portrait session. The day its self was hectic and slightly different with COVID restrictions so they got dressed up again the week later for me to photograph them.Such a lovely idea to capture the memories. And when you spend all that time finding the right dress for the occasion its important to have the memories captured.
-
Another year for banking memories of Peter & Callum. I've been having family portrait sessions with these two for over 8 years. As a single parent you don't often get photos of yourself with your child just having fun, so Peter has asked me along to a fun adventure with himself and Callum every year to capture these memories over time.
Last year was their last session with their lovely Black Labrador Onyx, who died of old age earlier this year. So at this session I got to meet their new puppy Zoomer, what a bundle of energy and lots of fun.
As always looking foward to the next adventure boys x
-
Meet Baby Alice, just 5 days new. What a delight to be asked to photograph such a fresh little bub, made even more so that I also photographed her older sister when she was born, and her parents wedding! Such a special part of what we do, capturing the important moments in family lives.
Baby Alice had only been home since the previous afternoon so her big sister was still just getting to know about this new entity who has completely changed her world. Even in the short time I was with them you can see how she is learning and all the emotion that goes with having a new sister. So precious to be able to capture this time.
I look forward to seeing them again when they have that wonderful bond of sisterhood all sorted out x
-
A chilly autumn morning for me to catch up with this lovely family, who I've been photographing for a number of years now. We had a bit of sunshine and warmth, plus cuddles to keep us happy. We also enjoyed running on the wharf and looking at the boats at Tambourine Bay Scouts.
-
So lovely to catch up with this family, for an extended family portrait shoot. Hadn't seen many of the family since capturing their daughters wedding 10 years ago.
The first time the whole family had been together for a long time, with all the state border closures etc planned gatherings had been postponed. So we had this pencilled in and were very please that it actually went ahead. Love seeing extended family together, and photographing these kind of shoots. Getting all the combinations of grandparents, individual families, siblings and everyone together.Best part about my job, watching families grow and documenting it for years to come x
-
Recently friends of ours contacted me about taking some photographs of them. Cassie's grandmother has dementia and is turning 90 so they said the family are putting together a photo book for her of everyone, they wanted some good couple photographs of them to put in the book. So we met at Long Reef beach on a beautiful sunday afternoon and walked along the golf course to my favoured spot, having a great chat and catch up. I set them up for their first photograph, took a few shots and then Hamish pulled this onesie out of his pocket..... I had to zoom in with the lens to read what it said.... then ran over to them to hug them! Cheeky buggers ;-) completely surprised me x
So the couple portraits turned into a pregnancy announcement shoot, and I'm so delighted for them and overjoyed they asked me, and surprised me at the same time xxx
-
Oh the pleasure of being able to celebrate with family and friends again after lockdowns and nervousness. It was such a delight to be invited to capture Juliet's memories of her 60th Birthday Party at Urban Tadka in Terrey Hills. She's decided on the location for the party a very long time ago, and it was set to be a much larger celebration with family flying in from Malaysia and a Bollywood theme. However, the pandemic got in the way, she the party was more intimate, but no less fun, and she even sent around a video of a Bollywood dance and asked the guests to learn it... which they did and had fun dancing to it after dinner!
A lovely evening filled with laughter and great food! Thank you for inviting me Juliet.
-
The brief for this headshot session was to get a variety of corporate style portraits to be used for board prospectus, Linked In Profiles and various corporate portfolios. So we chose generic backgrounds which could be used for these purposes and a range of corporate looks.
I think these photographs will definitely stand out on any publication or profile don't you.
-
What a stunning afternoon we had at Echo Point Park, Roseville Chase for these fun family portraits. We chose the location because their dog Dali could come along too which was really important. She's a rescue dog, who used to be a breeding dog so not a great life. When they rescued her she was very over weight and badly looked after. Now look at her, she's got a second chance at lift and you can just see how much she's enjoying it.... lucky girls to have been welcomed into this gorgeous family.
-
This family were given a gift voucher last Christmas for family portraits, but with the pandemic and lockdowns etc we only just got around to doing the photo session. We were very lucky to sneak the photos in before rain arrived on a Saturday morning, but the light was beautiful and with these stunning girls we got some lovely photographs in the overcast light at Echo Point Reserve, Roseville Chase.
-
Thanks to the lovely families that joined me last Sunday for our Pre Christmas Mini Sessions. Beautiful afternoon creating wonderful memories and Christmas gifts!
-
Mentor1 is an expanding Financial Planning business, and with the expansion they are developing a new website and new staff. So they required headshots of the team to present them to their new clients.
Here they are at one of their offices in Freshwater Beach, going with professional relaxed and modern look.
-
2020 has been an year, everyone has found their own way of dealing with it, and its an experience it would be great to look back on. The 6 weeks of isolation in April and May made me realise how important family is and how much fun we can all have when we aren't rushing around keeping up with activities.
So at the end of Iso as things started to open up a little I offered mini sessions in peoples front garden so we could all look back on these memories in future. Many of the families included the pets, as they became so important when everyone was at home. And other activities like bike riding, "Just Dance" and basketball.It was a fun project and I've enjoyed looking back on the family photos already, I'm sure they will for years to come.
-
A beautiful winters afternoon at North Narrabeen Rockpool, spent with these gorgeous, inquisitive boys and their parents. Perfect for a "Weekday 40:40" family portrait session. These sessions are on location for 40 mins and you receive 40 high resolution images. Its a great way to capture your family at this moment in time, in a length of time that isn't to hard work for anyone, especially these boys who I'm sure after I left got themselves thoroughly soaked and stayed to play in the rockpools until dark!

Sullivan Carpentry and Building is a Northern Beaches business that has grown due to its exceptional quality of work, and a fun professional team. As such they haven't needed to do much marketing as most of their work is word of mouth. However, they are wanting to update their website and social media to best represent their work, and update their marketing material for clients. So they contacted me to capture photographs that would express their image via the marekting.
The best way to approach business image photography is to get a full briefing from both the business owner, team and the marketing / social media company or staff to ensure I understand fully their image they want to portray as the photos will tell a thousand words....
This brief from Sullivan Carpentry and Buiding was to photograph some of their jobs to show the style of work they do, much of it beautiful and the attention to detail really impressed me, plus photographs of the team at work. This element was important as they wished to not only add this to the website but also have photographs of the team members to send to new clients so they would know who would be attending to their job. My job here was made easy by the team itself, all very approachable and fun.
Thanks Sullivan Carpentry I'll definitely be in touch with you should I need any work done as I was so impressed with your work. And hopefully now others will be able to see the same through my photographs.

Family photos for a grandmother's birthday is always a hit, and what fun I had with this crowd when I turned up to their birthday celebrations. It did feel a little strange when I arrived and Nanny said "Are you my birthday present..." though.
This family took advantage of our 40:40 Special package being offered on the weekend, we got all the combinations of the family together for Nanny to put up on her wall, and had lots of laughs along the way.
Thank you for the lovely feedback too:
"Hi Jennifer! Thanks so much for the photos - they are absolutely beautiful! I don't know how you do it! Thanks for being so patient with the kids and remembering our names so quickly! We will definitely find an excuse to use you again! You did such a great job. Thank you. Love the Hancotts. "
-
This family took advantage of our special off to have a 40:40 Session on a weekend, available until the end of June. They also upgraded the package to be for extended family, so can you can see below we had a fun 40 mins on a beautiful Sunday afternoon at Echo Point Reserve, Roseville Chase with extended family so capture some photos of grand parents with the grand children and the whole family.
To book your session see our website for details - http://www.jrobertsphotography.com.au/familyportraits

Its very life affirming in these interesting times with the globe shutting down with the Corona Virus to have life go on.... Looking forward to hearing of the birth of this little bubba.
We photographed their parents wedding 3 years ago, and had our engagment photography session at Chinaman's Beach, so wanted to revisit the same location to document this next exciting installment in their relationship.
Best of luck with this fun new adventure Elysia & Dom x

This lovely family were down in Sydney to visit family over the holidays and decided to get some family portraits taken while they were here. What a fun afternoon, how great is the bond between these 2 sisters. I love it when the kids start out a little reserved and then realise that they are here to have some fun so you get to capture their true personalities!
-
So every year I get to photograph this family on an outing, its always fun. This year Grandma is out from England for Christmas so we decided to go to Blues Point Reserve, a great adventure as they caught the ferry from Circular Quay to meet me, and then we enjoyed the view and reserve.
The light was interesting too as there was smoke haze, which seems to be the theme of summer in Sydney this year.
-
A beautiful afternoon at the beach for Santa. Lots of goregous families, most of the children were turned to Santa's charms after initial hesitation.... but some just were too scared, we tried out best.
Thanks to all the families who come down to see us, we invaribly have you leaving enjoying the experience one way or another.

This was a day with some smoke haze, but no smell of smoke in the air. The haze create some eerie light as the afternoon went on, with a big orange bushfire moon for a sun. Unfortunately I think this is just the Australian summer in all its varying weather patterns.
None of this affected the families interaction with Santa at the beach, lots of fun and the usual tears were had.....

This Weekday 40:40 family portrait session (40 mins & 40 images) was very cute. Mum & Dad had these fun images in mind, with big brothers protecting their little sister.
40 mins is often a good length of time for children of this age as they get distracted and struggle to focus for much longer, and you'll see we manage to get some very cute photos in this amount of time :-)
-
This was a fun 40:40 Weekday Family portrait session. Perfect for this family with older children, 40 mins is plenty of time to have a bit of fun and they receive 40 high res images to view and download from an online gallery.
Contact us to book your session today!

What a fun night to photograph. Louise's partner Bob contacted me to photograph the big surprise party he had organised for her 50th Birthday celebration, I was excited because surprise parties are the best to photograph!
She was definitely surprised on arrival at The Palais at Luna Park Sydney, there was close to 100 guests who had travelled from all over to be there. She's a very lucky lady to have such loving family and friends, and they sure know how to party! All helped along by their Croatian band Sto Na Sat who were fabulous.
-
While I was down in Melbourne recently, for a wedding, I was asked by the family of on emy Mum's oldest and dearest friends to capture some extended family portraits for their 50th Wedding anniversary.
It's always a privilege to capture family memories for people, but its even more special when its a family that I love too x
-
This lovely family contacted me because their grandmother was coming out from England and celebrating a special birthday with them in Sydney. So they wanted to capture their memories in photographs, the best present ever.
So we had a great morning down at Echo Point Reserve at Roseville Chase, the variety of backdrops and areas really show off Sydney with the coastal gums, the sandstone and the fig trees. We even got a few rainbow lorikeets in the background!
-
Spring Mini Family Portrait Sessions this year were held at Wendy Whiteley's Secret Garden in Lavender Bay. It's such a magical spot, so many little paths to explore, quaint items to find in the gardens, lots of greenery and beautiful light. The weather wasn't as warm as we'd hoped for this time of year, but the gardens were well protected from the cold winds so we had a lovely morning.
-
This little squishy bundle is the adorable Samuel at 2 and a half weeks old. He's a little older than we would normally take newborn portraits but he's a delight, very alert when awake listening to me talking and looking straight at me to hear what I have to say.... very unusual! Then enjoying having his big brother and family around him, before Mummy gave him a cuddle and put him to sleep, then he was a very content little man too a delight to photograph.
Thank you T family for inviting me to capture these precious memories, always a priviledge especially as I also capture his big brother's first few weeks too x
-
Newborn babies are such a precious gift, and being asked to photograph them to capture these memories is so special. They gorgeous lips, smooth skin, little hands and wrinkled feet..... every detail a wonder. Little Miss Jessica is like a little doll, her parents in awe.
We were lucky enough to photograph her parents wedding a few years ago, and were delighted to hear their family was growing and we were being asked to photograph them. Thank you for inviting us to be a part of another important moment in your lives, and allowing up to photograph these memories for you forever. xx

Our Summer Mini Sessions were very popular this year, we are sorry we couldn’t take more people from our waitlist. We had a beautiful afternoon at Long Reef Beach and all the families were lovely, a joy to work with. Here are some of the highlights…..
-
Beach may have been closed at Long Reef, on the day of this family portrait session, because of dangerous surf but that didn't stop the Ness family having lots of fun on the sand. It's such a stunning spot, definitely one of my favourite shooting locations at this time of year.
Thank you guys for being so willing to just relax and enjoy yourselves, mucking around, dancing and generally just showing what a loving family you are :-)
-
Would you guess the location for this corporate headshot shoot….. a car park! Its amazing check out the light and the industrial setting at the Tramshed Glebe’s carpark. So instead of using The Boardroom at 'The Butcher and The Farmer' restaurant where the client was meeting we did the shoot in the car park. The light was beautiful and I’m really happy with the outcome of the shots!
-
This is one of my oldest friends family, and I'm very privileged she asks me regularly to capture her families memories.
This time is was to celebrate some milestone birthdays, while taking advantage of family visiting from Perth. The brief was to capture all the different combinations of family members and their interactions.... I hope I have achieved this, including the will power of a 2 and a half year old, one of my favourite things to do!
-
I was lucky enough to know Little Miss Payton's family before she did having caputured some family portraits for them just over a year ago. So I was delighted when they contacted me to say the family was expanding and could I photograph this milestone for them. The focus being of course on the new little bubba but also on her big brother..... 2.5 years old is a tricky age to become a big brother and all that responsbility......
It of course was lots of fun coming into the family home and capturing the essence of this little family. Miss Payton didn't want to sleep as she was busy keeping an eye on me, and wondering what her big brother was up to next. Something I'm sure will continue as she grows. And so we have this moment in time captured for the family to look back on in years to come xx

For a bit of change of scenery from Santa at the beach I got to go into the city yesterday and do some corporate headshots for the lovely team at McCarthy Mentoring.

Wow what an afternoon.... hot and windy!
We knew it was going to be hot, sitting at around 35 degrees, great beach weather! But the wind was a surprise, it kept gusting all afternoon requiring Santa hats to tame hair that was flying everywhere. Then about 5.45pm it turned to the South and we thought great it will cool things down..... but it wasn't gusting wind anymore it was just really strong constantly. So can you can see we all turned our backs to the stinging sand hoping it would stop but it just kept coming. So all the lovely families helped us move Santa to the end of the path out of the wind and sand and carried on.
Thank you everyone for your understanding of the conditions and help with adjusting when needed. We still had fun!
-
Our second Aussie Santa Photo session for 2018 was a lovely afternoon. We had our usual fun with dogs, flossing, letters to Santa and the usual tears..... Santa does spend a lot of time walking away so the kids can relax and then popping up in the background without them knowing :-)
If you'd like to book a session please see our website - www.jrobertsphotography.com.au/aussiesantaphotos

Sometimes with family portraits everything just clicks into place to make the most amazing images..... this combination of a beautiful family, amazing beach, stunning afternoon light, and lots of fun made me take soooo many photos because everything just looked right.
So here is just a handful of the photos I took on this fabulous family portrait sessions last weekend with the McCulloughs. Thanks guys!
-
Our first Aussie Santa Photos at Long Reef Beach for 2018... what a fabulous afternoon!
We had the usual laughter and tears with Santa, it was lovely to see returning families as they grow and of course Santa's elves
Still sessions available, see our website for bookings - www.jrobertsphotography.com.au/aussiesantaphotos

The next installment of my adventures with Peter & Callum. At least once a year we go on an adventure together and I capture the details for them. This year we explored around Barren Joey Headland on both the Pittwater and beach sides. We even got to meet a 'Summer Bay' lifesaver!
As always our adventure included some running races, drawing in the sand (love the photos where Callum has written 'DAD x' in the sand and given his Dad hugs... they are a great team), collecting beach items including a jellyfish, building rock / sand towers and ended with Callum getting wet :-)
The only thing missing this year was their dog Onyx who unfortunately wasn't allowed on the beach :-( next year!
-
Little Olivia's Christening was held at St Peter's Cremorne, a lovely family feeling church. I've been lucky enough to photograph a number of family occasions for Olivia's family, its always a pleasure to work tith families and see how they change and grow. This family has expanded by a few little ones since the last occasion and the older children have grown quite a lot.
It was such a lovely day capturing this families celebration back at the family home, and getting to catch up with these lovely people!
-
Western Earth Moving is celebrating 60 years this year and its really easy to see why they have been a successful company for so long, and will stay strong long into the future. Their approach to business is that their employees are their family, and the success of their business is all about relationship with their business partners.
This event was a celebration for them while also being a opportunity to strength their business and the industry for the future. The guests were all from the industry and were encourage to network and create new friendships with others to build better working relationship. While also enjoying the fabulous setting and food provided by their hosts.
Once again thank you Graham, Mike and family for asking me to capture your event for you.

I recently attended the MTHFR Methylation Summit in Sydney as the professional photography for the conference. I was booked for the event by an old colleague of mine from my Professional Conference Organising days Lisa Harrison from Urban Event Management who organised the Summit which ran seemlessly as any event Lisa manages does.
My brief was the capture all aspects of the event both for the company running the event MTHFR Support and their exhibitors. This was an easy task as the conference was well attended and organised allowing plenty of time for the delegates to interact with each other and the exhibitors in breaks, plenty of room to absorb all the information in the conference sessions making notes and a good amount of question time allocated to each presentation.
I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend working in such a great atmosphere, and also found the content of the conference fascinating!
-
So last weekend I was invited to photograph an elopement or secret wedding. The only people that knew about the event were the immediate family and a couple of close friends who had been invited along to Rathborne Lodge, Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney.
I was first contact by the sister of the bride whose wedding we photographed a number of years ago, it was one of the most fun weddings we ever worked on so I was very happy to be invited along to another family function. Then Kimberley called and explained their plans for a small private wedding.
It was a beautiful day, and lovely setting with Rathborne Lodge offering the perfect set up for a event of this size. And as expected I had lots of fun capturing the event for them, and as you can see they couldn't have been happier with their special day.
Thank you Kimberley & Andrew for asking me to photograph your secret wedding!
-
There is something special about the job we do, and that is we get to capture lifes important moments for families. For this family we first met them when they were in the bridal party of a friends wedding, since then we've photographed their wedding, family portraits and christenings for their children. Its always lovely to arrive at an event and know many of the faces and feel involved in the celebrations. Thank you Rachel and Prentice for allowing us to be a part of your extended family it's a real priviledge.
Here are the photos from their youngest Leo's christening day last weekend, a beautiful (if a little cold) winters day in Sydney. The ceremony was held at St Anthonys Catholic Church in Marsfield. We worked unobstrusively through the ceremony abidinb by the priests wishes, and capture the details for their memories.
-
We photographed Julieanne's 1st birthday party 6 years ago and were delighted when her parents contacted us to capture her 7th birthday party. A unicorn my pony party held at a property in Galston Gorge. All the children enjoyed the fabulous spread of food and goodies, then they had a ball riding the ponies.
Thank you for inviting me, and I look forward to seeing you again at the beach this year for Aussie Santa photos as always Jasper & Glen!
-
Our winter family portrait mini sessions at Berry Island last weekend were fabulous. We were so lucky with the weather as it was rainy and windy the day before and the morning of but on Sunday afternoon the sun shone and the wind died down so we had perfect conditions.
Berry Island Reserve is on the harbour and has beautiful Sydney coastal gums which to me work wonderfully with winter colours. So thanks to those families who joined us for their 10 min sessions!
-
Each year I do a fundraiser for the local preschool with family portrait mini sessions in time for Mother's Day. This year was a stunning day at the park near the preschool and we had fun with each of the families. We even did a session of profile images for one of the Mum's businesses.
I also photograph the preschools portraits each year and we ensure the dates are near the mini session day, as it's a great way for the kids to get to know me as the photographer with their families so when I photograph them at preschool they are comfortable.
-
Sydney autumn is putting on a show this year and we got to enjoy it last weekend at North Narrabeen Rockpools for magic hour, the golden light around sunset. It was a beautiful setting for Sara-Ann and Joel’s engagement portraits.
The session was a present from Sara-Ann’s best friend Portia, we set it up as a surprised with Joel so Sara-Ann didn’t know about it until the day. She was very excited when she found out and was delighted to see the weather we had on the day.
Thank you Portia it’s a beautiful present, and also to Sara-Ann and Joel I thoroughly enjoyed my time with you at the beach, racing the setting sun…..
-
Western Earth Moving really know how to look after their employees they call their extended family. Saturday night they spent the evening cruising the harbour.... it was such a fabulous evening for it. The cruise started at King Street Wharf on the Star Ship Aqua, then enjoyed cruising around the harbour to Farm Cove, and up to Rose Bay before floating back under the bridge.I really enjoyed being able to capture the event for them, and thoroughly enjoyed the time I got to spend sitting out on the deck watching our stunning city float by so I'm sure all the guests did too.
Here are some of the photos to remember the night by.....
-
We love what we do here are J Roberts Photography documenting the lives of our clients and their families, this does also sometime extended to the lives fo their friends and family. I was delighted to be asked to photography Annalise's Christening Day, not only have we captured the memories of her brother Joshua's Christening but there was also another 3 children at the ceremony whose baptisms we've photographed!
Another beautiful day filled with family and friends all so excited for baby Annalise. Luckily this time I was at the church for the ceremony, then we followed on to a beautiful lunch at Oatlands House.
-
Woweee we thought last week was a hot day for Santa, well Tuesday was definitely warmer but thankfully we weren't photographing the next day which was a scorcher!
Even in the heat everyone seemed to enjoy themselves (except for the odd toddler when it actually came time to say hi to Santa.... all good from a distance!). We also had a few bubbas that were just so relaxed they wouldn't even wake up to see the big man :-)

Aussie Santa at Long Reef Beach Professional Photos - December leading up to Christmas - Lots of Fun
Another fun afternoon with Aussie Santa at Long Reef Beach.
We had a number of extended families come for photos this afternoon, a great way to get everyone together and remember your Christmas as a big family. It also means with bigger groups we get more people willing to be silly and have a bit of fun!
-
Last Thursday was HOT HOT HOT, however being at the beach it really didn't feel that hot. It was 40 degrees out in western Sydney but with the sea breeze definitely below 30..... Santa was very happy! Everyone who came for their photos were lolvey and enjoyed being at the beach, many cooling off in the water with a swim. We also had those concerned about Santa and kids who came with a spray bottle to cool him down :-)
As usual we had fun with each family, some needing Santa to play in the sand with them, others jumping for joy, some crying and many enjoying going for a horsey ride on Santa's knee.....

Another cracker afternoon for our Aussie Santa Photos at Long Reef Beach. Beautiful blue skies and afternoon sun.... only problem this afternoon was that I got sunburnt!
Lots of fun with all the families, thanks for coming along again. Especially lovely to see previous families with kids to were scared of Santa last year very confident and enjoying sitting on his knee this year!

This family were lucky enough to be given a gift voucher for a family portrait photography session from Little Hudson's grandmother. What a fabulous gift to give, capturing lasting memories for all the family.
We arrange the session at Observatory Hill because the family live in The Rocks and can see their home in the background of some of the photos. Its was a beautiful morning and little Hudson was right into the experience from the beginning so we had a lovely time.
Thank you Kallie and Rowan to a fun morning with your beautiful little boy!

With photography the saying the "early bird catches the worm" is very true for beautiful light..... I met Melissa from The Fitness & Mindset Coach down at North Narrabeen Rockpools early morning on Monday to capture some business images for her to use for her website, blog and socials to promote her personal training business.
I think these images will give a lovely feel to her clients about her business when they view her website, while also portraying strength.

I was recently asked to cover an event for Suttons Motors to use for their business public relations. Suttons undertakes a number of charity initiatives and the most recent one was for the Fred Hollows Foundation. For the month of October they donated a percentage of sales from all car window tints to the foundation and I was there to photograph the presentation of the $30,500 cheque to the representative from the Fred Hollows Foundation. This was a wonderful initiative that from all accounts both management and the sales staff got a lot out of, and raised some much needed money for the foundation. During the presentation there was also a surprise additional cheque from the parts department who had done their own fundraising to add to the donation.
While the whole team were together they also took the opportunity to update their corporate headshots which I took very quick and efficiently utilising a lovey blue wall within the conference room :-)
Thanks Suttons for inviting me along to capture this, and for the great charity work you do. Looking forward to working with you again!

So my annual adventure day with Peter & Callum was to Bare Island La Perouse. The forecast was for rain which would have been fun as I photograph these guys at least once a year and we capture the adventure in a documentary style so whatever happens happens.... but it didn't end up raining and we had a lot of fun exploring the rock pools and castle. As I said to Peter at the end of the session we managed to capture every facial expression and mood in the hour we spent together.... which I think is important with children of Callum's age.
Thanks for the fun boys, looking forward to our next adventure already!

Fun with our beach Santa at Long Reef Beach last Sunday. Book your session at www.jrobertsphotography.com.au/aussiesantaphotos
We once again had a beautiful afternoon to work with for our Aussie Santa Photos, with the mixed bag of responses from the children visiting Santa.
We had one little girl who was hysterical and wouldn't come near Santa, Mum had planned ahead and bought a gift for Santa to give her, as he walked towards her with the gift she got more hysterical and I thought we were never going to get her over the line but as soon as she was given the gift she calmed down..... Santa went for a walk and she came over to have photos with her parents, unbeknownst to her with Santa walking up behind for the photos (see if you can pick which one is her) ..... Below is the lovely feedback we received from her Mum:
"Jen, I just wanted to say a massive thank you for your professionalism and patience during Layla's Santa photo yesterday afternoon (she's the one with the Peppa Pig toy that Santa gave her) I really didn't think she was going to go ahead with it. She was talking about Santa for the rest of the afternoon and showing everyone her new toy which Santa gave her. I almost think she is ok with Santa now :)
Thanks again and can’t wait to see the pics.
Regards, Nyerie"

I have photographed some of this family a number of times over the years so it was a pleasure to meet the rest of the family and capture them all together. Multigeneration family portraits are the best fun, watching all the family interact from the cousins, grandparents, aunts and uncles, is lots of fun.
We were blessed with a beautiful morning at Echo Point Park in Roseville Chase so this family to enjoy.
Thank you for inviting me to capture your memories of your extended family Marcarians it was a pleasure!

We were blessed with a beautiful beach afternoon last Sunday for our Aussie Santa Photos at Long Reef Beach.

The CSR Value Champions Awards Dinner for 2015 was held at Public Dining Room at Balmoral. The award winners spent the day doing fun team building activities with their partners and colleagues, then had an afternoon of pampering before a water taxi ride from Circular Quay to Balmoral, arriving in style on a beautiful (if a little windy) afternoon in Sydney.
This is a wonderful event to photograph as the winners have been selected by their peers for outstanding achievement and te management team are very support of everyone. A event I look forward to photographing each year.
-
The CSR Value Champions dinner is a wonderful event we get to photograph each year. In 2016 is was held at The Tea Room, Gunners' Barracks Mosman a stunning location overlooking Sydney Harbour with fabulous food. The theme this year was red and they did a lovely job theming the room while in keeping with its style.
The Value Champions dinner is about rewards CSR employees who go above and beyond in their jobs and they are voted on by their peers. The winners come to Sydney with their partners and spend the day doing fun activities and getting pampered before their awards night. We always comemorate the event with a couple photograph at the location of the dinner which they keep as a souvenir.

The Oracle Annual Conference was held this year at the Grand Hyatt Sydney, a great conference venue which is beautifully situated within the heritage part of the hotel. Delegates arrvied first thing in the morning and spent the day conferencing, then held a dinner and awards ceremony that evening. We captured the days activities and presented a slideshow of these photographs at the dinner, which was a big success and all the delegates enjoyed reviewing the day plus providing a talking point for them at dinner.
"The client was very happy with the images, and my knowledge from by years as a Professional Conference Organiser ensured that I understood the flow of the conference, and captured the outcomes the client was after. See below testimonial..... love a happy client :-)
Jennifer was incredible! She went above and beyond what she was hired to do and even helped, when she didn’t have to.
Amazing photos. She really captured the day.
Just such a pleasure to work with. No fuss, got the job done with the up must professionalism.
Highly recommend to anyone who wants quality and someone who cares deeply about the job at hand and the clients wishes.
Thank you so much Jennifer.
Regards
Madelynne Finnigan | Events Coordinator"

Zara Turns One…. isn’t she adorable! She just like a doll, and such a smiley happy little girl with all her loving family around her. And what a stunning theming her very clever Mummy created for her first birthday party at Otto Ristorante in Wooloomooloo. The spring florals by @seedflora in a range of pinks and soft pastels looked amazing and also smelled fabulous, plus all the other lovely details.

What a lucky little girl Miss Lucy is with two adoring big sisters to look after her. At just 10 days old she's being well cared for and cuddled. However, she is a classic third child and didn't want to go to sleep as she might miss something! So as always with newborn baby portraits we were patient, and in between feeding and settling I had some fun with her big sisters, how could I resist photographing these gorgeous girls. Plus I chatted to her parents and found out that her Dad and I had actually been to primary school together! Small world.
Thank you for inviting me into your home to capture this special time for you family Claire and Matt, your girls are just beautiful, congratulations!

It's that time of year again where we hold our Spring Family Portrait Mini Sessions, a great opportunity to capture the family growing up with professional photographs at a very reasonable price. This year we headed back to Muston Park, Chatswood, to enjoy the spring flowers in their wisteria arch.
All the families that came had a lot of fun, below are highlights of some of them.

Duke's first birthday party was themed beautifully by his clever Mummy in a woodlands theme, which worked perfectly with the background of The Camperdown Commons. Duke's little Peter Rabbit outfit, plus the woodland critters were very cute. They also hired some soft play euipqment and ball pit which were set up in the courtyard and all the toddlers enjoyed playing in there.
Duke is a very lucky boys, first of the next generation for both sides of the family he is doted on my aunts, grand parents and great grandparents, which created a loving atmosphere for the party. Plus as you can see he REALLY enjoyed eating his birthday cake, love the facial expressions and the tongue!
Thanks for inviting me to capture your memories of this lovely birthday party Kristyl & Ben :-)

We've been photographing this families celebrations for a number of years now, they are always lots of fun with a lovely warm feeling, which I think says a lot about the hosts. Happy 60th Birthday Graham it was a pleasure to be involved in such a celebration.
It was a glorious afternoon for lunch at Aqua Dining, Milsons Point, everyone enjoyed the atmosphere, catching up and eating delicious food with an amazing view. Guests were entertained by Tony Magic Show as Tony moved around the room with his card and magic tricks, plus a birthday floor show for all the guest. This was followed by some great heart felt speeches.
A fabulous afternoon!

Beautiful day last weekend for Charbel’s 1st Birthday party, beautifully themed by his talented Mummy @laurahazzouri who clearly has a designers eye with the amazing set up and colour palate for his wild theme.
I've been photographing this extended families celebrations for the last 6 years, they are always spectacular but the best thing about them is the love and warmth the whole family shows towards each other and everyone else. Its a pleasure to watch and capture. Thank you Hazzouri's!

One of the best parts about being a photographer is being able to capture some of the most important times in peoples lives, and this is definitely something I've done for Penny & Nick. We photographed their wedding day, newborn baby portraits for their first child and now more baby portraits for bubba number 2. I also got to catch up with their doting Parents / Grandparents again too.
What a gorgeous little man baby Will is too, he wasn't too sleepy but content to just watch the world going on around him, accepting teddies from his big sister which he even cuddled (very cute) and when he was in a basket his big sister thought she needed to be in one too.
I just love working with this family they have such a beautiful loving connection that reads through the photographs and has done since their wedding day.
Thanks for having me to your home again Penny & Nick, I look forward to the next catch up x

Clients often come to me for headshots to update their image on social media, this can be for a range of reasons either they are just outdated, or they are looking for a career change, or in JPs case he is looking to move country and applying for roles overseas with people you probably haven't met yet needs the right image upfront.
So when I photograph people for headshots I like to give them a range of options to select the images they wish to use for the right situation. We take a few corporate looking headshots with a grey background, some with suit and tie and some without, then some more casual outdoors and with a different setting. Then the image can be tailored to what you are using the photograph for, be it social media such as linked in or for job applications and proposals.

These siblings contacted me to get some extended family portraits taken for their parents as a present. As always with large families it took us a while to arrange a date which worked for everyone and ended up a little later in the year than planned but the Autumn weather in Sydney was spectacular so we had a beautiful afternoon at Blues Point Reserve overlooking Sydney Harbour and wonderful afternoon light.
The aim of the session was to get photos of the whole family together, some with grandparents, and some of each family. With young children I find I always need to work fast to get their attention and keep it, plus make it active to they enjoy the whole experience. We did all of these things with this family and I think the grandparents will be delighted with the results.
-
So I first met Miss Everest (named after the snow pup in Paw Patrol.... too cute) when she was fresh to the family at just 8 weeks old, a bundle of energy that was very trick to keep up with.... she even tried to eat the camera :-) Then I came back 6 weeks later to take photos of her with her family, and boy had she grown!
It's so adorable to see the joy she brings to them all. Each sibling insisted on their own photos with Everest as they played and cuddled with her, plus her parents! She is one very lucky pup receiving lots and lots of love x

Kitty and Ben arranged this family portrait session as a present for Kitty's parents 60th birthday’s which are both happening this year. Her Mum selected the Chinese Gardens of Friendship in Darling Harbour which a lovely location, but especially poignant when they grew up in China.
I met the family, including two gorgeous little boys who are 2 and 1 outside the gardens as they opened and we spent an hour walking through and playing the gardens in the morning light, and before it became too busy. We saw birds, fish, and water dragons, plus we also spotted the Rooster sculpture for the 60 year olds as this is their birth year!
Thank you for a lovely morning everyone, it was especially fun as we realised that Ben is good friends with one of my cousins in Melbourne :-)
-
A pleasure to work with this very professional lady again today. Headshots refreshed for this beautiful actress.
We met at Stanton Library in North Sydney to get a range of backgrounds to use for different auditions, and finished in the library itself which we felt was just right for the Wizard of Oz audition Alex has coming up!
Best of luck with your audition for Wizard of Oz

Oh the fun we had with our glitter mini sessions! Glitter is a little bit like sand you can't help but touch it and play with it, and the sparkle makes everyone that little bit more excited.
We spent the morning with lots of lovely families playing and having fun with the glitter, as you can see below it was a magical experience.
If you want to see more, and are interested in hearing when our next session is being held please see our webpage - http://www.jrobertsphotography.com.au/glitterminisessions

We have been very priviledged to capture a number of celebrations for this family, and little Addison's christening was a lovely as the rest. A beautiful autumn day with the ceremony held at Kings School Chapel, where Addison enjoyed all the attention the only process she didn't like was having the water dabbed on her head.... she pushed the ministers hand away.
After the ceremony everyone headed to Biviano's in Dural for the afternoon where Addison's mother had created a beautiful dessert buffet in rich creams and golds.... definitely looked to good to eat!
Thank you for inviting us to capture this event for you, as always a pleasure to work with the Ragg family x

This family portrait photography session was originally booked for February and we planned a morning at the beach, however after a few reschedules we ended up in Autumn and decided to change the location to match the season..... so glad we did because the colours of the leaves and the fun with these very active little boys was just perfect! And we still managed to have some time playing on the beach along this beautiful section of Middle Harbour too.
The best part about photographing young families for me is capturing them interacting and playing together. These boys were so full of energy and cheekiness I had to run to keep up, but I think you'll see we've caught the essence of them in these family portraits.
Thanks Katz family for a fun afternoon!
-
Diana first contacted me because she'd has some family portraits taken in studio with a gift voucher and was shocked at the cost of purchasing the prints and images, so had looked around and found my all inclusive package where she receives the high resolution images as a great alternative.
She really wanted some summery photographs with bright sun and blue skies, so we needed to arrange the sessions quickly as we are well in to Autumn. These guys were very lucky with the day we received, exactly what they were looking for, a little chilly to start but soon warmed up in the sun.
Our fun session included playing with the seagulls, which Diana loves, and splashing in the water at Chinaman's Beach, Mosman.
Thanks for the great session Adams Family :-)
-
We've been lucky enough to capture memories for this family for a long time, including maternity photographs with their eldest child, her baby portraits and now this little mans baby portraits. The family pets always get included in the portrait sessions as they are very much a part of the family.
So you'll see as the focus of this portrait session was on baby Liam who is 12 weeks old, his big sister and family pets also got very involved in the session.
-
Joyce's sisters and family had gathered in Sydney for her wedding celebrations so they wanted to capture the memories with an extended family portrait session as a present for their parents anniversary. So we had a lovely morning at Centennial Park Sydney, one of my favourite locations with beautiful lakes, Australian paperbark trees and lovely flowers, for a fun photo shoot. The language barrier was a little challenging but with Joyce there to translate we had a great time.
Happy Anniversary to you and your lovely family Mr & Mrs Zhou!

We had a trial run with our girls and some friends for our Glitter Mini Sessions and everyone loved it.... Lets face it who doesn't love a bit of glitter?!?!? and a kilo is a lot to play with.... We put a bit of music on, danced, threw the glitter, lay in the glitter, and even created glitter angels.... They all felt very special and really enjoyed looking at the photos afterwards. The sparkle gives the photos that je ne sais quoi. Our trial day also taught us some tricks about dealing with all that glitter which we'll happily pass along.
Here are our girls in their own sessions, and together, plus Pippa with her bestie and her family together.
If you'd like to book your own sessions please see our website - http://www.jrobertsphotography.com.au/glitterminisessions

Xmirus is a small business looking to refresh it's website and update it's image. Their graphic designer contacted me to take their company images, the brief was to be professional but relaxed showing they are a small business and not caught up in the large corporate end of town. So we had a bit of fun and relaxed in their offices.....
Looking forward to seeing their new website!
-
I met Julie a little while ago at an event I was covering and we discussed updating her professional portraits for business use. We talked about how important it is to have an up to date photo to use for your profile as this is often clients first impression of you, and you don't want to meet with them their expectations being completely different to the image you have portrayed.
Whenever I work with clients for professional portraits or profile image sessions I spend some time discussing with them the use of the photos, what image they are portraying and what their clients will expect. We then tend to capture a few different options which can be used for different purposes both online and in business proposals etc. So as you can see from below Julie now has a range of options for the images she would like to use for her business.

I was lucky enough to photography Little Miss Josephine's big brother Oscar when he was a baby almost 3 years ago, so it was lovely to come back to the family home and meet the new addition to the family.
At 11 days old Josphine was very aware of everything around her, and spent a lot of time looking for her big brothers to see what they were up to.... she will definitely be bossing them around soon enough! Particulary her middle brother Oscar who said at least 3 times throughout the morning how much he loved his little sister, and she turned her head to look for hime everyone time he was talking. She is a very lucky little girl to have been born into so much love already.
Thank you Sarah and Wade for inviting me into your home again to capture these memories for you x
-
I was very priviledged last weekend to be invited to capture this families second christening day. They are such a beautiful family both outside and inside and I really enjoyed photographing their elder daughters christening day a couple of years ago, so I was really looking forward to Simon James' day.
As you can see we have photos at their house getting Simon dressed by his god parents, then family photos before heading to Saint Charbel's Church in Punchbowl for the christening ceremony. I then left the family to a lovely seafood lunch by the river at Aquarius Restaurant, George's Hall.
Thank you for inviting me along to be part of Simon James' day Amanda and Serge, as always a beautiful day celebrating.
-
So it's been 6 years since we photographed Misoo & Adrian's wedding day, and now they have two gorgeous little boys!
So lovely to see the whole extended family for a famly portrait photography session last weekend. My favourite part of being a photographer is capturing the interaction between family members, and even more so when that extends to grandparents and aunties. These two little boys are so lucky to have such a fun, loving family around them. Hopefully these photos will remind them of this fact all the time.
