Natural and fun childcare photography for Forest Hill kids

My approach to childcare photography in Forest Hill is all about capturing kids being kids – having fun, exploring their surroundings, and interacting naturally with their friends and the play equipment at their centre. Forget stiff poses and forced smiles! I believe that the most beautiful photos are those that capture genuine joy and authentic moments. With years of experience working with children of all ages and personalities, I create a calm and patient atmosphere where every child feels comfortable to be themselves.

These photos are about documenting the laughter, the excitement, and the natural interactions that define their time at the centre.

Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help Forest Hill families and local childcare centres, early learning services, and kindergartens navigate our photography offerings with ease.

How do families register for photos?

Registering your child for their photos is quick and easy! You’ll receive a flyer with all the details before photo day, and your centre will also display posters as reminders. It’s essential to register your child as individual photos won’t be taken without registration. This registration process also provides me with the necessary permission to photograph your child. It only takes a few minutes, so please make sure to register!

What if it rains on photo day?

Melbourne weather can be unpredictable, but don’t worry about rain on photo day! My priority is the safety and comfort of the children and staff. I’ll work closely with the centre to find the best solution. If possible, we’ll try to capture outdoor photos during any breaks in the weather. However, if the weather is unsafe, we’ll move the fun indoors and take photos of the children enjoying their day there.

What if my child is shy or does not want to be photographed?

I understand that some children can be a little shy or hesitant about having their photo taken. My approach is relaxed and playful, and I give each child time to warm up to the camera. While big smiles are always lovely, my goal is to capture each child’s unique personality, whether they’re smiling or simply enjoying their time at childcare. I focus on creating a fun and comfortable environment so I can capture natural and genuine moments.

What happens if my child is absent on photo day?

I understand that sickness and unforeseeable circumstances take place and this may mean your child cannot attend the centre on the day you have registered them for photos. As I am generally at each centre for more than 1 day, there may be the opportunity to bring your child in on another day and I can photograph them then. Please contact me to reschedule your child’s photos for another day during my time at your centre.
