Gold Coast Lifestyle Photographer

authentic family photography on 35mm film

Who says family photos have to be all about posing stiffly on the beach at sunset? If your kids—or perhaps your hubby—might typically groan at the idea of a formal photoshoot, why not shake things up? Choose an activity that your whole family loves, whether it's skateboarding, bike riding, surfing, or playing sports. Bringing along your favorite props not only injects fun into your session but also lets everyone's true personality shine, naturally easing those camera-shy jitters and allowing spontaneous moments to blossom.

This was precisely the approach Tracey and her family embraced for their vibrant photoshoot at Kingscliff Beach. On a glorious sunny afternoon, they arrived with skateboards in tow, and we spent some time cruising along the scenic esplanade. Later, we made our way to the shore to unwind and capture the golden sunset's glow. The images from this afternoon burst with warmth, joy, and genuine connection, encapsulating the essence of this ocean-loving family's spirit.

As a passionate family photographer in the Gold Coast area, capturing these authentic moments on 35mm film adds an extra layer of nostalgia and richness to the visuals. There’s something magical about the grain and texture of film photography that digital just can’t match—each image is a unique piece of art, embodying the soul of the moment.
