forest & field

Wild blossoms in Spring, Autumn colours in Autumn, long wavy grass in Summer and FLOWING creeks and grass lined paths in Winter.

Our Forest & Field location is one of our faves. Perfect all year round.

Our locations are specifically chosen for the direction the sun sets, the absence of carparks, bbq shelters, rubbish bins and signage in the background! 

It’s also only 10 minutes up the hill, but feels like a world away. 

FAQ’S

The Forest & Field sessions are ideal for families with kiddos 18 months +, when the kids need room to run and explore and be distracted by the fact we are outdoors.

Ideal of large family groups.

In Summer, newborn sessions are gorgeous here too.

We only offer certain evenings during the week for our Forest & Field sessions so booking as early as possible is always best. School holidays book up very quickly.

In Winter our Forest & Field Sessions start as early as 4pm, and in Summer as late as 7 pm.

Bear these start times in mind when considering sleep times for your little humans, as often Winter sessions are more conducive to happy kiddos due to the earlier start times.

The one downside of this location is the lack of public toilets. Our tip is to stop by Hungry Jacks or the OTR on the way through Blackwood.

These sessions are ideal for extended family sessions, however the ground can be quite muddy in Winter and it is a bit of a walk, so please consider this if elderly grandparents are wanting to attend.

Blackwood Forest is a public dog park, as such your fur baby is welcome to attend. Please know that bringing the fur baby the session does add an extra level of choas, so make sure you’re happy to embrace this!

We recommend plain and simple clothing, taking inspiration from the colours in nature. Textures work beautifully in Winter – knits and scarves and cardigans. In Summer, gorgeous dresses, hats and chinos are perfection.

We have a gorgeous selection of dresses in our studio wardrobe and you are welcome to choose from anything in our range, and we can bring it along.

Plain and simple works best, anything that you feel fabulous in. For partners, anything co-ordinating with you is perfect – keep it simple and steer clear of any large checks, spots, stripes or logos. If in doubt, just get in touch and we can help co-ordinate the whole family if you need.

This is completely up to you, however we do find that mumma’s who invest a little bit in themselves, feel just that little bit more fabulous in front of the camera. And how you feel is what it’s all about at the end of the day!

So if it’s a good excuse to find 45 minutes to escape to be pampered, then go for it!

All our sessions are $285.
