The weather is still a little warm and now it’s the best time of the year to head outdoors and chase the light and fun times. If you are considering an outdoor lifestyle photography session for your family here are some great locations we could use for your session:

1. Mentone park : This is a great park for active toddlers, we will start in a corner away form from the playground and then walk and make our way towards he playground. This park has a pond with ducks so make sure that you pack some seeds to feed them!

2. Braeside Park: This is a great location for the families that are a bit shy, this park is huge and therefore there is hardly anyone here, there are some great locations if you want your images to have a rustic feel.

3. Donald Macdonald Reserve: located in Beaumaris this is a great park that includes a lot of greenery and a dog friendly football oval in case you would like to include your pet during your family photography session.

4. Sandringham Beach, this is a great location with red rocks and cliffs that allow great views of the bay. I love to shoot here because I love the texture of the rocks and the wild colors in summer.

5. Cerberus | Half moon Bay Beach : the pier in this beach is all kinds of epic, with long lines and the wild colours of the rocks. The best part of this beach are the troops of seagulls that feed on the chips form the fish and chip shop, they will add character to your images.
