Newcastle Family Photographer

Newcastle + Port Stephens + Lake Macquarie

Family photography should feel easy and enjoyable — whether it’s just the three of you or the whole extended family together.

These sessions are designed to capture real moments and genuine connection, with space for both relaxed group photos and the in-between interactions that make your family unique.

Based in Port Stephens, sessions are available across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, the Hunter Valley and Hawks Nest, making it simple whether you’re local or bringing everyone together while visiting the region.

From young families to multi-generational gatherings, holiday reunions or special occasions, the focus is always the same: creating natural, artistic images that reflect your family as it truly is.

Natural, relaxed and genuinely you

Family sessions are guided, not staged.

Rather than focusing on perfect poses, the approach is to create space for real interaction — kids being themselves, parents relaxing, and moments unfolding naturally. Gentle direction is there when needed, but never forced.

The result is a collection of images that feel honest, joyful and full of life — photographs that reflect the connection you share, not just how everyone looked on the day.

Small families & extended gatherings

Whether it’s a simple session with your immediate family or a larger get-together with grandparents and multiple generations, each session is approached with the same intention: keeping things easy and enjoyable for everyone.

Extended family sessions are thoughtfully organised to include a mix of full group photos, smaller combinations and natural moments in between — without it ever feeling rushed or overwhelming.

These sessions are especially meaningful for family reunions, milestone celebrations or holidays where everyone is together in one place.

Locations

There are many beautiful locations across Newcastle, Port Stephens, Lake Macquarie and surrounding areas, and we’re always happy to suggest places that suit the look and feel you’re after.

From coastal beaches to quiet bushland and open spaces, the right location helps set the tone while keeping everything relaxed and natural.

Your Family Session

Sessions are relaxed and typically run for around an hour, taking place in a natural outdoor setting — whether that’s a beach, park or somewhere that feels personal to your family.

You might be walking along the shoreline, spending time together in a favourite spot, or simply letting the kids explore while everything is documented as it happens.

If you’re planning a special occasion such as a birthday, anniversary or family gathering, the session can naturally blend into the event while still capturing a selection of family portraits.

“I purchased a shoot for my family as a Christmas gift and I absolutely cannot recommend Florent enough! We were originally booked in for a date but when the weather was cloudy and raining, Florent suggested we change to another day "because your family deserves beautiful photos in the sunshine". He was so friendly, thorough and very accommodating for our large family. The photos were sent to us only 3 days after the shoot and were just STUNNING. I look forward to booking in with him again in the future!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Florent for our photo shoot. He has a relaxed, down to earth style, and although the session we booked was only for 45min he went well above this timeframe without even mentioning it. The results were more than we had hoped for: the location
he picked, the lighting, the background, the composition, the colours and most importantly a relaxed and happy family on there, no stiff posing! I can highly recommend Florent and would use his services in a heartbeat next time we’re in Port Stephens!”
