This family enjoyed the Australia Day long weekend with a trip to Sydney from Melbourne. Knowing they had the trip planned David arrange a family portrait photography session with us for his wife for Christmas. Their little 18 month old Tyler just loves the beach that was the setting they chose... and he loved it!
We so enjoy photographing toddlers as they explore their surroundings and enjoy making you laugh, being the centre of attention is all they need to shine.....
-
We were contacted just before Christmas by Paul to arrange a family portrait gift voucher for his wife for Christmas, what a great present. Then we got to go and meet the family....
What a goregous family, we had a great time with these guys. We starting at their home playing with the girls in their bedroom and then on their bikes, before heading down to Fairlight Beach for some fun in the sun....
Both the girls were very cheeky and lots of fun. Thanks for letting us capture some of the essence of your family.

What a wonderful way to celebrate her graduation - June invited her parents to her university campus (The University of Sydney), where we proceeded to do a photo shoot of June and her parents at varying areas of the historic Camperdown/Darlington campus. Starting at the Main Quad and then moving across the lawns and down to Victoria Park, before making our way to The Faculty of Education. The weather was kind to us and we had lots of fun.
Congratulations June!

This is a very cute little man!
I was invited to their home to capture photographs of little Will for Christmas presents. He was such a delight, but being a typical boy he as most excited when he was naked, I particularly like the juxtapostion of the worn leather couch with this freshly minted naked little baby... his Daddy was concerned that he might wee but the good man kept it for later.
Now I'm onto designing some Hard Cover Books for his grandparents for Christmas....

What a hoot this Engagement or Beloved portrait session was, we are so looking forward to photographing Megan & Phil's wedding next April we are going to have a ball!
Megan is a Kiwi and Phil an Aussie, who currently live in London, they are getting married in Sydney next year so were home for a quick visit to make all the arrangements. We were lucky enough to meet with them and photograph this time for them. Not living in Sydney they wanted to capture some of the landmarks in their photographs, and being engineers the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge made the perfect backdrops, plus a walk through the Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney which could not be positioned in a more ideal location.
Here you'll see out typical style of lots of fun, love and laughter coming through in the photographs.....

We always feel priviledge to capture family memories for our clients, but this particular extended family portrait session was extra special as it was for one of my oldest friends and her little man William. Isn't he just divine, so cheeky and so much energy.
The location for the family portraits was down at The Spit Reserve in Mosman as his Mum was keen to have the boats and a play area. The sun came out for a fabulous day and the colours are just so striking. Plus with William's big blue eyes it worked perfectly. We met the family including grand parents, and his little monkey "Jelly" in the mid morning and just played together from there!
I had such enjoyment editing the photos just looking at this families fun and love.... I hope you enjoy looking at them too.

What a great 1st Birthday Party this was for Alina! Held on sprawling grounds of a farm in Llandilo, Karina organised a grand celebration for Alina and her family and friends.
Sunshine, guests, pony rides, bubble machines, ball pits, music, BBQ, loads of delicious food, and a dog in a waistcoat! This was a recipe for fun!
The party kicked off with music, BBQ and plenty of freedom to play and chat for all, in temperatures reaching 30 degrees. Lunch was soon served and everyone was keen to get a taste of the delicious spread provided. The Birthday girl was keen to get in on the action and was seen to be leading the charge on playing in the ball pit. Then the resident pony was brought out and the children waited anxiously for their turn to ride around the paddock.
A rendition of "Happy Birthday" was followed by the cake cutting - and what a tremendous cake! Then the kids' turn to 'Smash the Cake' (another cake!) Always a great way for the kids to 'have their cake and eat it' in the only way toddlers know how - using hands, feet, heads and anything else they need to eat it!
What an exhausting afternoon - some are keen for a quick nap before coming back to the party later!
-
I just love this little girls smile, it's more than a smile it is a full on laugh.... so cute to have these kind of expressions at such a young age! And what a lucky little cherub to have such loving parents.
The baby portrait session took place in the family home, which often works best for babies of around 3 months old as they aren't distracted with a new environment. It was also great on this particular day as it was grey and wet outside, but created beautiful light for these portraits, especially black and white portraits as you can see....

What a wonderful day for Kira and her 3 brothers to arrange for a photoshoot with the awesome backdrop of Sydney Harbour! Kira had contacted J Roberts Photography to take casual and candid professional photographs of the 4 siblings at Blues Point in North Sydney. We used the stunning views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House in the background. This photography shoot was taken for a surprise birthday present for their mother - some enlarged art prints, canvases, acrylic blocks are going to be produced for their mother's birthday present. The shoot was filled with fun and laughter, and the wind made for some fabulous shots. When brothers and sisters get together for a fun photoshoot, the images taken are always full of giggles, laughs, tickling and fabulously fun photos. A lifetime of memories captured in one moment!

Here we are at the final chapter of Greta's first year... she's grown into such an adorable little girl, with a very cheeky grin. Follow the story with our first two chapters 3 months old and 6 months old.
It's really lovely when we get to see a family grow together and capture all the fun and excitment with it. We so enjoy photographing this family in their home, the girls get very excited and get to dress up especially for the photos. Little Gia wondered if I would notice their pretty clothes as they got dress, which of course I did.... she was very pleased! And Greta, being the youngest of 3 just revelled in all the attention as the photo shoot was all about her....
Now I get the pleasure of putting together a coffee table book with the story of Greta's first year in photographs, and a commentary from her parents... can't wait!

Shivani contacted us with great excitement about the fabulous 23rd birthday party she was putting together on a Sydney Harbour Cruise. She wanted all the evening's atmostphere captured in photographs. All her friends gathered at Star City Casino Wharf, where the harbour cruise was to begin. Justin met the crowd there.
The cruise started well, with all the party guests enjoying the atmosphere on the boat as it left Star City and travelled under the Anzac Bridge towards the Sydney Fish Markets. Unfortunately for Shivani, the cruise company was pulled over by the water police and the boat travelled no further. Justin of course kept the photographs going and the guests enjoyed partying on until they disembarked and walked back to the casino.
As you can see from the photos, everyone had fun and Justin even created some entertainment through his photography .....

We were lucky enough to have photographed this little cherubs parents wedding earlier this year, we just love staying involved with the couples and continuing the capture their precious moments as their families grow.
One of their close friends who we met at their wedding contacted us just before she was born to arrange a Newborn Baby Portrait Photography Gift Voucher for them. So I was very excited when her Daddy called to let me know she had arrived and to arrange the baby portrait session.
At 2 weeks old little Matilda is a little older than we usually like to work with for newborn shoots as they generally won't sleep, and when they are awake they don't focus on anything specific.... but not this little angel she was a super star! She was a delight awake, and fell asleep soundly on queue, the only time she got upset for a few minutes it was quickly stopped by my camera.... she loved it! And what a pretty little bubba she is too, just perfect for baby portrait photography....
-
What a splash of colour after a week of grey old rain!
This multi generation shoot was so much fun, the family were all together for the first time in a while as one of the daughters has flown out from India for their father's 60th Birthday. We had some fun making Poppy the centre of attention too...
After a week of rain we decided to have the portrait session at the family home which is stunning and allowed for a few changes of clothes. As usual I was on hand to help get the youngest generations attention and get everyone laughing, while Justin took the photographs, but this little man was so easy he just smiled and giggled all day....
-
Little Naomi as just 7 weeks old, so aware and so loved by her parents.
7 weeks is usually a tricky age for baby photography, while no longer sleepy and much more alert the babies aren't quite there with their facial expressions and reactions yet. But little Naomi was great, she even went to sleep for a little while for us. And those lovely big blue eyes...
-
What a treat! One of my closest friends had her second little angel last week and I was on their door step almost as soon as they got home to take some newborn baby photos. And isn't he adorable.... It is so lovely to be able to capture these precious memories for my clients, but even more so when it's a close friend. Plus I got lots more cuddles too!
-
This was a fun extended family portrait shoot with a focus on little 6 month old Lauren. She is just adorable and so cute when she smiles and wrinkles up her little nose. She was joined by her older brother, at 3 1/2 it's a difficult age to hold their engagement on the shoot but working as a team we generally get some good reaction, and as you can see a rumble with Dad never goes astray! Plus along with Mum & Dad, they were also having a visit from their New Zealand Grandparents.
Beautiful memories of a fabulous time for the whole extended family.

The gorgeous little Zoe gave her Mum, and both Grandmother's an extended family portrait photography package for their combined Mother's Day presents. What a treat, we got to work with the whole family.
We met the three generations of both sides of her family at at Bicentennial Park, part of Sydney Olympic Park Homebush on a crisp clear Autumn afternoon. The wind was freezing but it didn't take us long to warm up with the infectious laughter of this cute little 16 month old and her doting parents and the two sets of grandparents. The colours and light were perfect as you can see from the photos....
-
A beautiful sunny autumn day in Sydney, with the very cheeky Oliver, just shy of his second birthday. We had lots of fun with this gorgeous family as you can see from these photos....
Little Oliver tried to be shy to start with, but it didn't last long, then his cheeky little personality came out. Isn't he adorable with those white blonde curls plus the winter beanie and the fabulous grin. What a lovely family portrait they make.
-
What a lovely extended family! Three siblings who have all individually at different times migrated to Australia from South Africa (via some other destinations), settled into the Australian way of life while their family has grown. However, they are still trying to convince their Mum to move out here, so took the opportunity to have some extended family photographs taken while she was visiting from South Africa. We suggested the stunning Blues Point on a Sunday morning so she will always have sparkling Sydney to look at when she looks at photos of her family together.
We had a great morning as you can see, everyone of the family has bubbly personalities and we could have chatted and laughed all morning... well we did.... plus we took these great photos!
-
The Grandmother of this gorgeous little boy contacted us a couple of weeks ago to arrange some family portraits for her Son and Daughter-in-law, it's such a lovely gift. Now I'm sure she will be getting some beautiful photos in return for her Mother's Day present!
This little man was very relaxed and fun from the minute we walked in the door, with those beautiful brown eyes how could we not get some fabulous photos.... plus his parents were lovely too. Here are some of the highlights.....
-

This family have been blessed with newborn baby twin boys, and they have a gorgeous older sister. They also have some lovely friends who purchased a newborn portrait photography gift voucher from us and gave it to them as a gift after the birth. It's such a precious gift to give a family, captured memories to treasure.
The boys are 10 days old, however Tate the larger of the two boys was very alert and just did not want to relax and let me take photos he had to keep an eye on everything! He finally crashed with exhaustion and snuggled down with his little brother Levi for some beautiful photographs. As you can see they have an amazing Mum who gave birth naturally and looks fantastic, plus very adoring and beautiful older sister Masey and very proud Dad. I really enjoyed working with this beautiful family and felt like I'd know Sarai the gorgeous Mum for years....
-
Mother's Day is just around the corner and it prompted us to think about mothers....aren't they just the most amazing people! I think we should cherish them as much as we can in our everyday lives. However, it's wonderful to be able to look back on captured memories when we do take some time-out to appreciate our fabulous mothers.
I recently read a blog posted by a fellow photographer, posing the question: "Is there a perfect time for family portrait photography?" She points out how quickly time flashes by when we aren't looking, and how important it is to capture the "here and now" no matter what. She touches on those families who have very sadly lost their mothers, and how important it is for them to be able to look back on the captured memories and cherish every photo they have.
The conclusion of her article is: "we never know what tomorrow will bring our way....NO, THERE IS NO PERFECT TIME...." She hopes that the article "....will inspire someone, who might be waiting for that perfect time or to lose a couple of kilos, to book a photographer…today!"
So this Mother's Day, capture those memories by ordering a Portrait Package Gift Voucher with J Roberts Photography, for your Mum, your wife or a pregnant mother-to-be!

As you know I just love taking newborn baby portraits, the floppy, softness of the little babies in their first week is so precious to capture in photographs. But last week I was in for a real treat with these gorgeous little twins. The girls were 2 weeks old which is usually outside my newborn window for portraits however as they were slightly premature they were still a little sleepy. As you can see one is slightly larger than the other and was more alert, but when snuggled up together they were very happy to settle and sleep.
Their older sister was also very excited about her two little sisters, and protective as all sibling are, the most amazing time for any family..... This family now has these beautiful memories captured to treasure for a lifetime.
-
This family have a lovely tradition of have a portrait session with their children at ages 3 month, 6 months and then 12 months to create a beautiful coffee table book of their first year with professional portrait photographs. We were referred by their previous photographer when she closed her business, and have been priviledged to capture this story for their third daughter Greta. Which means we get the bonus of also working with their older 2 girls. As you can see they are a beautiful family, and we have a great time interacting with them.
Stay tuned for the final chapter with the 12 month old portraits later this year!
-
Aren't these guys adorable... "Copy" & "Paste"..... well it's true with the twin boys they really are a matching set!
We've been photographing this family for a number of years now but this is our first chance to capture their new additions Austin & Lewis. They are 6 months old, but being premature twins their adjusted age is 3 months old, and aren't they just cute. We had a great morning at the family home photographing them with their parents and older brother. Capturing some family portraits for them to remember this time for years to come.
Me thinks there is going to be lots of rumbles and rugby in the backyard as they grow up!
-
Remember those pregnancy portrait photographs I posted a couple of weeks ago? Well meet the adorable little baby boy that was lucky enough to be born into this wonderful family.... At just 6 days old he was just right for newborn portraits all floppy and cute. And in every photo to can see how proud his big brother and sister are of him, not to mention his parents.
I can hear you oohing and ahhing allready... Enjoy!
-
It's always beautiful to see the connection between a bride and her Mum when we are photographing weddings. I love this cute little series from a recent wedding, with Mum and daughter having a little laugh together....
-
We love these precious relationships, little man Max here was well known to us even before he was born, 18 months ago we photographed his parents wedding! So we were delighted when his Mum & Dad asked us to come and capture their memories of this precious time. Max is now 10 weeks old and a very cute baby, he wasn't really in the mood to smile but that just made for some fun shots of his Dad particularly trying to make him laugh..... I especially enjoyed working with the beautiful outdoor light, and the garden setting they had. Max's Dad won this little baby couch in a raffle just days before he was born and I couldn't resist using it as a prop.
-
This really is a very special family to us, we have been very privileged to "Capture their Memories" of many precious moments for them over the years. It all started with photographs of their eldest at 6 months old, since then we've done many family portraits, pregnancy portraits with their second child, newborn portraits of that little one, and now they have asked us to photograph the third child's pregnancy. Plus you'll probably notice we also photographed the father's 40th birthday party just a couple of weeks ago!
We always have great fun with them, and this shoot was no exception, with everyone very excited about the imminent arrival of the new little baby. The older kids were delighted to just play around and produce some beautiful photographs.....
-
Busy editing the photos from the pregnancy shoot we did on the weekend of a families 3rd bubba.... This is the little ones older sister, isn't she gorgeous.... couldn't help sharing!
-
We were very privileged to be invited to witness baby Williams christening at St Clements Church, Mosman, last Sunday. It was a beautiful occasion with a great party afterwards with close friends celebrating, and we couldn't help taking photographs!
-
Well school holidays had only just started and this family decided to head down to the beach, and invited us along to capture the memories. Also in time for them to use the family portraits for Christmas presents.
It was a beautiful morning, with lots of fun and silliness as you would expect when the kids have only just gone on holidays! We really enjoyed photographing the whole family in this lovely natural, candid way. Enjoy....
-
Thanks for all your support in 2010, we look forward to "Capturing more wonderful memories" in the new year!
-
Yes that's right Justin and I finally got in front of the camera together! And joined our girls for a family portrait session. The lovely Jacqui worked with us to take there photographs at Chinaman's Beach, Mosman. It was a boiling hot day so we worked quickly with the girls and got further insight into being on the other side of the camera with our own children! It was lots of fun.
-
Boy was it hot for this family portrait shoot at Chinaman's Beach, Mosman. We decided to take as many photos as possible in the lovely park area before heading down to the beach because the heat off the sand was very hot!
We took photos of this family a year ago and really enjoyed seeing them again, they are lots of fun and a really photogenic bunch don't you think. With a 4 and a 2 year old in the heat the essence was to work quickly and keep them entertained. It's days like this that our technique of working as a team really comes to the fore, while Justin was busy working with the camera I was jumping around, making faces, singing songs and just generally making everyone laugh and have fun. With all of our photography it's important to us that you have a great time on the shoot as you want to look back on great memories captured......
-
This little man is just adorable, his smile is "as wide as an elephants eye". His mothers colleagues grouped together to purchase her a "Newborn Portrait Photography Gift Voucher" when she went on maternity leave. The family then elected to not take the photos straight away in the first 10 days for the classic newborn portraits, instead waited until he was 12 weeks old to capture this beautiful baby age. We enjoying photographing any baby stage!
Little baby Max also has an older sister who is just as gorgeous and worked hard to steal the show.... It was a hot day so we photographed both inside the family home and out in the park. Here are just some of the highlights....
-
Every family portrait we do is different, as each family expresses themselves in a unique way, which is why we enjoy photographing them. These little girls were lots of fun, once they warmed up to the camera they were great little models.....
For this portrait session we went to the family home, as little Greta is only 3 months old. The weather outside was grey but the atmosphere inside was pure sunshine..... enjoy!
-
I met little baby Ashlin this morning and couldn't wait to share her photographs with you. She's just over 2 weeks old and so small & perfect. She was very accommodating being lovely and sleeping when I got to the house, however a you'll see she thought she'd better keep an eye on me.... Enjoy these lovely newborn portraits of her with her parents and loving older sister....

Hi Everyone,
Wow hasn't the year just flown by! There are already Christmas decorations in the supermarkets; which prompted me to send this newsletter. As with previous years, many of our clients wish to get some family portrait photographs taken in the lead-up to Christmas to use for their cards, personalised calendars, prints and canvases as presents for parents or grandparents. With our portrait packages, you receive all the images in high resolution on DVD so you can go crazy using the images for any number of photo gifts without going over budget.
However, looking at our calendar last night with Justin, we noticed that November is almost fully booked and December is filling up fast.... so if you want to arrange a Family Portrait session you'd better get in quickly!
Jump on our website to see details of the great value package we offer - www.jrobertsphotography.com.au/familyportraits
We look forward to hearing from you!
Cheers
Jen & Justin

We really enjoyed photographing the 2 little girls from this family about 18 months ago, but this time they bought the whole family along. Megan (the mother) said she is constantly being complimented on the photos from our previous family portrait photography shoot, particularly because of the candid nature of the photographs and that they capture her girls just being children. We built on that theme here with these family portrait photographs, taking them to a local park where they could lark around and have a great time. Family portraits are all about capture the family as they are, and also looking back on a fun family memory. You can't expect to get photographs, when working with young children, where everyone is smiling sweetly for the camera, but you can capture some great expressions and emotions when everyone is inspired to just be themselves.
As you'll see here we had a ball photographing this family, and they just relaxed so we got to capture the essence of their fun....
-
Sneak peek at the beautiful baby Lucie..... We were very privileged to be invited to photography this gorgeous little girl at just 9 days old. So tiny, soft and sleepy.... It never ceases to amaze me how perfect a newborn is. Enjoy!
-
The reason why we love taking photographs, is because we get to capture, in our photography, beautiful intimate moments such as this one taken of a couple at a wedding enjoying the emotion and love brought out by the day.
-
When you are photographers is hard not to want to just pick up the camera constantly and take portraits while your children are playing. Here are just a couple of photographs from our afternoon in the garden yesterday!
