Perth Family Photographer


Our most treasured heirlooms are the memories of our family

Family

Facebook Memories are great but nothing beats seeing your own beautiful portraits on your wall everyday!

Our family portraits are shot in the studio where we can control the weather and lighting consistently producing beautiful portraits.

These family portrait sessions take on average 1.5 hours and I include individual shots of each child and any combination you would like (ie each parent with each child). Grandparents and fury family members are welcome.

‘For children in particular, looking at photographs is part of the socialising process; learning who you are and where you fit into the family. By displaying photographs of our children at different stages of their lives, we are making a very public statement that we are proud of them.’

Professor Geoff Beattie, Head of School and Dean of Psychological Sciences at the University of Manchester

  • seated family portrait of mother, father two teenage daughters and a small dog set in a green grassy location
    “We wanted a family photo session with the dog in an outdoor setting and Jodie’s location suggestion was perfect. We were able to purchase what we wanted at a reasonable price and ultimately got everything I wanted from the whole experience!“
    Brooke Van Beek
  • family of four with two teenage girls standing on wooden walkway in bush setting
    “From the first contact made with Jodie from Samantha May Photography I knew we were in good hands. Her calm professional manner made us all feel very relaxed for our family shoot. Jodie had good suggestions when trying to decide on a location – we wanted a very natural scene. Our photographs turned out perfect and we highly recommend Samantha May Photography.“

Frequently Asked Questions

The short answer is no, my style is in studio portraits & every single time I book an outdoor shoot rain is forecast! The long answer is yes it is an option I offer my repeat clients and if you are a new client with a special request please get in touch.

Co-ordinated outfits are great, they don’t need to be matchy-matchy in fact it’s best when they aren’t! Please keep patterns simple, avoid large logo/prints and steer away from neons. Think classic/timeless but still “you”. 
If you are still stuck take a look through our galleries at what previous clients have opted for and remember Pinterest is a great source of inspiration!

At your viewing appointment you receive our internet use form. This form allows you to opt in and out of social media sharing across our brand, no pressure you select only what you are comfortable with.
