Because family photos shouldn’t feel hard

Family photography doesn’t need to be stiff, stressful, or performative. I believe the best photos happen when everyone can just be, kids included.

My photos tell stories. But not scary ghost stories. I mean, like, the stories that dreams are made of. Like when the good guys triumph, and the bad guys get caught, and the slightly-nerdy guy captures the heart of the beautiful girl who was completely unaware of said slightly-nerdy guy's feelings for her until the end of the story. These are the stories I tell.

My approach is calm, gentle, and child-led, creating space for connection, movement, and real moments to unfold naturally. The result? Images that look and feel like your family, exactly as you are right now.

Absolutely loved our family photos! Sally was a total pro but also kept everyone smiling and having so much fun they forgot why they were there.

I highly recommend it!

Hey, I'm Sally

I’m a Sunshine Coast family photographer who believes the best photos happen when everyone can just relax and be themselves, kids included. I’m all about calm, connection, and creating space for real moments to unfold, rather than trying to force anything to look “perfect”.

I’m a mum myself, which means I know how quickly these seasons move, and how rarely we actually end up in the photos. That’s a big part of why I do this work, to help families slow down for a moment and capture what life really looks like right now.

My sessions are gently guided and child-led, with plenty of room for movement, cuddles, and the occasional bit of chaos. No awkward posing, no pressure to perform, just your family, exactly as you are.

I love working with families who value connection over perfection and want photos that feel honest, warm, and full of life. If that sounds like you, we’ll get along just fine.

It was such an enjoyable hour, our girls are still asking when Sally will come back again.

If family photos are what you're after, look no further. Sally is a kind hearted person and brings an energy to the photo shoot that has children feeling calm from the minute she turns up. Next level customer service.

It’s like herding cats with my kids but Sally still succeeded and we made some core family memories as well!

We had an amazing sunset photo shoot in Little Cove in Noosa and received more photos than we can frame, that we’ll treasure for a lifetime! Sally was so kind with our children and took some stunning photos of all of us. I was most impressed by the gorgeous photos of our children, which is hard at the best of times! 

Nick

She was so kind and patient, but most importantly she captured the most memorable photographs of our family 

Sally was just an incredible photographer. Sally just knew how to facilitate an amazing session with our family of 5. We truly love all of our photos and thank her so much. Will definitely be using Sally Taylor Photography again.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my kids don’t cooperate? +

That’s completely okay, and honestly, expected. I don’t ask kids to perform or sit still. We follow their lead, take breaks when needed, and let things unfold naturally. Some of the most meaningful photos come from the in-between moments when everyone relaxes.

What should we wear? +

Once you’ve booked, I’ll send you a simple styling guide to help you choose outfits that photograph beautifully without feeling overthought. Think comfortable, neutral tones and clothes you can move in with nothing matchy or stiff required.

Where do sessions take place? +

Sessions are held outdoors at beautiful Sunshine Coast beaches, locations to suit your family. I’m always happy to suggest locations based on light, season, and your kids’ ages.

How long does a session run? +

It depends on the session you choose, but there’s no clock-watching or rushing. I work at your family’s pace and adjust as needed so things stay relaxed and enjoyable.

When will we receive our photos? +

Your gallery will be delivered within 2–3 weeks of your session. You’ll receive a private online gallery where you can download your images and choose any upgrades if you’d like.

I feel awkward in photos — will you help us? +

Absolutely. I’ll gently guide you throughout the session so you never feel unsure about what to do. You don’t need to know how to pose — just show up and be together, and I’ll take care of the rest.

This season won’t last forever

Right now it’s busy, loud, and a little bit chaotic. One day you’ll miss the way they fit into your arms, the sandy feet, the way they laugh without thinking. These are the moments worth remembering — exactly as they are.
