Signature Family Portraits are photographed in my private Point Cook studio and thoughtfully crafted for families from Altona, Altona Meadows, Seaholme, and Melbourne’s west. These sessions give you time to settle, breathe, and be together without distraction.


With considered lighting and quiet guidance, I create a portrait that feels honest, grounded, and meaningful something that reflects who you are as a family right now.

Family Portraits for Altona Families


Altona families often tell me they appreciate having a studio so close to home, just an easy 8–10 minute drive to Point Cook. They want portraits that feel intentional, elegant, and deeply personal. Many prefer booking here rather than risking inconsistent results elsewhere.

My private studio offers a calm, considered space designed for families who want portraits created with care, thoughtful lighting, and guidance every step of the way.

You Don’t Need to Know How to Pose


Most families arrive unsure of what to do in front of the camera. That’s completely normal. I guide you through simple adjustments so your portraits feel natural, comfortable, and true to who you are together. You’ll never feel rushed or put on the spot.

Spent an amazing afternoon with David Mullins, creating memories of my family that will last a lifetime. David was able to capture our essence, our love and our laughter, and transform our simple smiles into AMAZING portraits.

Thank you David, for making the process so easy, flawless and memorable.

Highly recommended for anyone looking to capture those important life moments!

We have been privileged to have David document some of our most precious life moments, our Wedding, newborn photos of all three of our babies, special family visits, birthdays and memorial shots.

David makes you feel comfortable from the get go (including the small kids and our little Dog) and captures moments that feel genuine and not overly posed.

We are so happy have these photos that have captured our milestones.

FAQ

What should I wear?

No. I only supply the final, retouched portraits you select. This ensures you receive polished, finished images that reflect the standard of my work.

Can I bring a second outfit?

Yes. You’re welcome to bring additional outfits, especially if you want a mix of formal and relaxed looks. We can change within the session time.

Yes. Additional portraits can be purchased after you’ve chosen your included images. Many families choose to add more once they see the final selection.

Where is your studio?

Yes. After the session, you’ll view the images and select your favourites. Only the images you choose are professionally retouched.

You’re not alone. Many people feel the same way. Sessions are calm, guided, and paced slowly so you never feel rushed or awkward. My job is to help you feel comfortable so your portrait feels genuine.
