The days are long, but the years? They fly.
One day, it’s cuddles & tickles before bedtime. The next, they’re taller than you and running out the door.
What started with just the two of you has become something bigger, louder, messier—and infinitely more beautiful. These are the days that shape your story as a family, and they deserve to be remembered.
Your love story began with just the two of you. Then came the little voices, the muddy footprints, the belly laughs—and the beautiful chaos of family life.
nd now, here you are. Maybe your babies are still little and need your hand to cross the road. Or maybe they’re growing up fast and you’re realising how quickly the years are slipping through your fingers.
These in-between moments—the ordinary ones that don’t always feel extraordinary—are the ones you’ll wish you could relive. The way they curl up on your lap. The way they look at you when they’re still small enough to think you have all the answers. The way your family feels right now, in this very chapter.
That’s what family photography is about. Not just capturing how you look—but who you are together.
Because one day, these images will become part of your family’s story. The tangible proof that through it all—work, life, routines, growth—there was always love, connection, and togetherness.
There’s never a perfect time to take family photos. Someone’s always teething, someone else is grumpy, and no one can ever find matching socks. But these everyday moments? They’re the heartbeat of your story.
This season—whatever it looks like right now—is precious. Maybe you’ve got toddlers who can’t sit still, kids who cling to your leg, or teenagers who roll their eyes but still secretly love being close. Maybe it’s a rare day where all the cousins are together, or your parents are visiting and you want to freeze the feeling of having three generations under one roof.
These are the moments we think we’ll always remember—but time has a funny way of moving faster than we expect.
And when the house feels quiet one day, and the toys are packed away, and the dog is curled up a little greyer than before—you’ll be glad you pressed pause.
We welcome all kinds of families here—big, small, blended, beautifully chaotic. Grandparents are always encouraged to join in. So are pets. Because this isn’t just about portraits—it’s about capturing your people, your connection, and your love, just as it is.
The way your daughter squeezes your hand. The way your son leans into you without realising. The way your partner still looks at you like you’re home.
These are the details that matter.
And these are the moments we’ll bottle up together, before they slip quietly into memory.
For 25 years, I’ve been trusted by families across Penrith, Blue Mountains, and Western Sydney to capture their most precious moments.
There’s something special about working with someone who truly understands your community. I’m not just your photographer – I’m your neighbour. I’ve watched families grow in these beautiful areas, from Penrith’s bustling suburbs to the peaceful Blue Mountains, and I understand the unique love story each family brings.
My photography journey began over two decades ago, and in that time, I’ve had the honour of capturing hundreds of families—each one with its own rhythm, quirks, and beautiful chaos. From wild toddlers and wriggly siblings to eye-rolling teens and giggling grandparents, I’ve seen it all—and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I know how to gently guide you without over-posing, to create a space where even the most camera-shy family members feel at ease. I’ve built Kristy’s Studio here in Wentworth Falls, in the heart of the Blue Mountains, to be a place where families can simply be themselves.
Whether you’re updating your family portraits, gathering generations together for a once-in-a-lifetime image, or just craving photos that reflect the love in your everyday life—I’m here to help you bottle it all up.
Because this isn’t just photography. It’s legacy.
And I’m so honoured to capture yours.
Local Heart, Professional Expertise: Based in the stunning Blue Mountains, just 40 minutes from Penrith, my studio offers the perfect escape from the everyday.
Many families tell me the gentle drive through the mountains becomes part of their special memory.
Transparency You Can Trust: No hidden fees, no surprise costs. What I quote is what you pay, because starting your family’s photography journey should feel exciting, not stressful.
When you choose Kristy’s Studio, you’re choosing someone who’s not just local – you’re choosing someone who’s been trusted by your community for a quarter of a century.
“We’ll do it one day…” (Sound familiar?)
It’s so easy to put off family photos. Life gets busy, the kids grow faster than you expect, and suddenly another year has passed.
Maybe you’re waiting to feel more confident. To lose a little weight. To get through a busy season. Maybe you’re just exhausted from the everyday juggle.
But here’s what I’ve learned in over 20 years of photographing families:
There’s no such thing as the perfect time.
The house will always be a little messy. Someone will always have wild hair or mismatched socks. And that’s okay.
Because your kids? They don’t care what you look like.
They care that you were there. That you held them close. That you showed up and loved them, just as you are.
The truth is, this chapter you’re living right now is already perfect—because it’s real. And capturing your family just as they are today is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give your future self (and your children).
So whether you’re based in Wentworth Falls, the surrounding Blue Mountains, or Western Sydney, your story matters. And it deserves to be photographed.
We have two simple packages to chose from depending on your style and budget
Do you have a special photo album from your childhood? One that makes you smile every time you see it on the shelf?
There’s something magical that happens when you hold a real photograph in your hands. It’s different from scrolling through your phone – more intimate, more permanent, more real. When you flip through those pages, you’re not just seeing images, you’re feeling the weight of your history, touching your memories.
Your parents probably have albums filled with your childhood – birthday parties, family holidays, those precious everyday moments that seemed so ordinary then but feel priceless now. Those albums became treasures, didn’t they? The kind you reach for when you want to remember, when you want to share your story with someone special.
Now it’s your turn to create those treasures for your own family.
Imagine your child at sixteen, showing their friends their baby photos from a beautiful album. Picture yourself at seventy, sharing these images with grandchildren who will marvel at how tiny their parent once was. These aren’t just photos – they’re the beginning of your family’s visual legacy.
The beauty of printed memories is that they don’t disappear. Phones break, files get lost, technology changes. But a beautiful photograph printed on quality paper? That lasts generations.
As part of your session, you’ll have the opportunity to create stunning wall art and albums that transform your precious moments into lasting family heirlooms. Whether it’s a simple gallery wall or an elegant album, these pieces become the heartbeat of your home.
Because some memories deserve more than just living in your camera roll.

Nestled in the beautiful Blue Mountains, my studio feels more like a cozy home than a photography space.
The moment you arrive at our warm, welcoming studio in Wentworth Falls, you’ll feel it—that sense of calm, safety, and ease. Tucked away in the stunning Blue Mountains, Kristy’s Studio is a space where kids can be themselves, parents can relax, and genuine moments unfold naturally.
There’s no pressure to sit still or smile perfectly. We embrace the giggles, the wriggles, and the in-between moments that make your family beautifully unique.
It’s cosy, it’s relaxed, and it’s designed with comfort in mind—from toddlers who need space to play, to grandparents who need a comfy chair, to parents who just need a minute to breathe.
And yes—your furry family members are welcome too! 🐾
Whether you’re updating your family photos or gathering generations together for something truly special, this is your space to connect, laugh, and make memories.
Because the best portraits don’t come from perfect poses—they come from real moments, in a space where everyone feels at home.
Can I tell you a secret? If you’ve never had a professional family photoshoot you’re not alone. All too often family photography is put on the ‘to do list’ and delegated to a future when you’re feeling prettier, feeling thinner, your hair is longer or the kid’s teeth are free from braces. But every moment of your life, the kids’ braces, the heavier you and the thinner you, are all precious moments of your exciting journey through life together.
And once those moments have passed, there’s no chance for a ‘redo’.
Kids grow faster than weeds in the garden. And you know all those excuses for putting off a family photoshoot? No one else cares about them. Not one person.
The kids just see their mum and dad. You’re their favourite people in the world, the ones who’ve loved and cared for them all their lives.
And they WANT to have family photos with you.
If you’re looking for Family Photography in Penrith or Western Sydney area, get in touch here.

Why not include the family pet in your photo session?
Pets are a much-loved member of the family, so it’s natural to want to include them in the fun too.
