As a family photographer in Canberra, I have the privilege of capturing moments that mean the world to families. This recent extended family session at the Tuggeranong Badlands was especially meaningful, as it marked a special moment in time before part of the family moves to Queensland at the end of the year.

Golden Hour bathed the landscape in warm light, but despite being summer, the day was unusually cold and windy. That didn’t stop Nan Pam and her family from embracing the moment with laughter and love. With her children, Fiona and Andy, by her side, Pam shared a joyful moment, caught in a fit of laughter that will forever be remembered in a beautiful portrait. Another unforgettable shot captured Pam surrounded by all her grandchildren—a memory she will cherish for years to come.

The rugged beauty of the Tuggeranong Badlands provided a stunning native backdrop, with rolling hills adding depth to the scene. The high-energy session was filled with warmth, playfulness, and a deep appreciation for family. Through the wind and chill, the bonds between them shone even brighter, making for truly special images that reflect their love and connection.

As a family photographer in Canberra, I love creating images that tell a story—ones that will be treasured for generations. If you’ve been thinking about capturing your own family’s special moments, now is the perfect time. Let’s create something beautiful together!
