family Photography Melbourne
Your moments, naturally captured.
Family photos don’t need to feel posed or perfect.
My family photography sessions are relaxed, natural and centred around genuine connection — the laughs, cuddles, personalities and little moments that make your family yours.
Based in Wyndham Vale and photographing families throughout Melbourne’s west, I’ll gently guide you when needed while giving your family plenty of space to simply be together.
The Beauty in Your Everyday
The way they hold your hand. The cheeky smiles. The cuddles that won’t last forever.
These are the little things that can feel ordinary now, but one day they’ll be the moments you’ll want to remember most.
My approach is about capturing your family naturally — with a mix of gently guided portraits and genuine, candid moments that tell the story of this season of your life.
family sessions
Relaxed sessions filled with connection, personality and plenty of fun. We’ll capture the traditional family photographs alongside all the natural interactions that happen in between.
extended family
When everyone is together, it’s worth documenting. Extended family sessions capture grandparents, siblings, cousins and generations together, along with smaller family combinations throughout the session.
milestones
Birthdays, growing families and those little stages that seem to disappear far too quickly. Milestone sessions give you a beautiful way to remember exactly who they were at this moment.
siblings
The laughs, the cuddles, the chaos and everything in between. Sibling sessions capture their personalities and connection exactly as they are right now.
Every Family Has a Story
No two families are the same, and your photographs shouldn’t be either.
Whether you’re updating your family photos, celebrating a new chapter or bringing generations together, your session is designed around the people and connections that matter most to you.
Whatever you’re celebrating, the goal is simple — you enjoy the moment, while I make sure you can remember it.
Relax. You Don’t Need to Know What to Do.
You don’t need to know how to pose, and your children definitely don’t need to sit perfectly still.
I’ll gently guide you throughout your session so you never feel unsure of what to do, while leaving plenty of room for your family’s natural personalities to come through.
If the kids want to run, explore, cuddle or be a little silly — that’s okay.
Some of the most meaningful photographs happen when everyone forgets about the camera and simply enjoys being together.

"It was a pleasure working with Ashlee, she truly knows what she is doing. When I saw the images, they were absolutely beautiful and so heart warming. It was a real pleasure and I will be recommending her to others."

Family Photography Across Melbourne’s West
Based in Wyndham Vale, I photograph families throughout Werribee, Point Cook, Tarneit, Hoppers Crossing, Manor Lakes, Truganina and Melbourne’s western suburbs.
We’ll choose a location that suits your family and the feel you’d love for your photographs — somewhere you can relax, connect and simply enjoy being together.
FAQ
What should we wear to our family photography session?
Choose outfits that feel like you while complementing each other rather than matching exactly. Neutral and earthy tones photograph beautifully, and I’m always happy to help with outfit choices before your session.
What if my children don’t cooperate?
Please don’t worry. Children aren’t expected to sit still and smile at the camera for an hour. Sessions are relaxed and allow plenty of time for them to warm up, explore and be themselves.
Where will our family photography session take place?
We’ll choose an outdoor location that suits your family and the style you’d like for your photographs. I can recommend beautiful locations throughout Wyndham Vale, Werribee and Melbourne’s west.
How long does a family session take?
Family sessions run for approximately 60 minutes, giving us plenty of time for a mixture of family portraits, individual photographs and relaxed candid moments.
How many photographs will we receive?
The Moments Package includes 10 professionally edited digital images, while the Memories Package includes 30. You'll select your favourites from a private online proof gallery, with the option to upgrade to the complete gallery for $150.
What if we want photos with grandparents or extended family?
Extended family sessions are available for larger family groups and run for up to 1.5 hours, giving us time to photograph the whole family as well as smaller family combinations.
Right Now Is Worth Remembering.
There will always be a reason to wait.
Until the kids are a little older. Until life is less busy. Until everyone is easier to organise.
But your family will never be exactly as it is right now again.
Let’s capture this chapter — the personalities, the connection and the people you love most — so you have something to hold onto long after this season has passed.
Your family. Your story. Just as you are.
