Be a Fairy for life with beautiful Fairy Dell images, exclusively from About Faces Photography. We’re in Bulli, in the northern suburbs of Wollongong.

All we need to create Fairy magic is your child or children. We supply the fairy dresses (or you can bring your own) and we supply the backgrounds. It’s fun for the kids to pretend to be a Fairy and then, to be transported into the miniature world of the Fairy Kingdom.

Toadstools, miniature waterfalls, rocks and flowers. Secret nooks and crannies. This is the secret world of the Fairy. Be amazed at how beautiful the images are, and how life-like… There’s fairy dust and stars, sunbeams and showers too!!

We offer attractive packages, which can include a wall sized portrait (ideal for your child’s bedroom) and grandparent copies as well!! Images are available framed or unframed.

You might choose a triptych where your child discovers three secret Fairy locations. Anything is possible, just ask. Images available framed or unframed.

These are true works of art with all backgrounds photographed within the very beautiful Illawarra region.

Booking fees are only $59.95 (that covers clothing, session and purchasing appointment). Ring now on 02 4283 8480 to make an appointment.

Families in Wollongong, The Illawarra and Southern Highlands simply love our creative newborn and baby photos.

Baby’s comfort during the photo shoot:

Our baby photography is photographed in our professionally equipped studio. Our studio is fully heated or cooled to make your baby totally comfortable during the photography session. Your baby’s comfort is our highest priority. Some parents prefer at home baby photography, we are happy to travel within the Wollongong, Illawarra and Southern Highlands area to photograph families and babies. Please enquire.

Some special times to have your baby photography made are:

Newborn baby up to 2.5 weeks old.

A newborn baby is photographed from day one up to two and a half weeks, while they are still tiny enough for this style of baby photography. Fantastic!! Dad is still on paternity leave… A favorite time for most parents. We recommend that you book your session prior to giving birth; that way we have reserved an appointment for you and if you go overdue or are unwell, we can transfer your session to a new date.

Types of images we create during a newborn baby photography session:

Tiny fingers gripping mums hand, little feet in daddy’s huge hands, delicate lips and button noses, wisps’ of hair and sleepy eyes. Up to 2.5 weeks, your baby is still tiny enough for our great images of your newborn laying skin on skin on dad’s arm. These images show just how small and delicate your newborn baby is when enveloped in daddy’s protective arms. For mum its soft, tender and loving. Our mother and newborn baby photos capture that very special bond between mum and her precious little bundle. We are sensitive to mums body image and concentrate mainly on close, loving head and shoulders of mum with baby.

Little baby 3 to 6 weeks.

Following along a similar theme to a newborn shoot, Baby is still very new and has gained a little more weight and length. We’re still able to get those beautiful sleepy baby images.

Bright baby “just smiling” session 6 to 8 weeks.

Not so little anymore. Baby is beginning to smile and interact with mum and dad for the camera. Coo’s and Goo’s melt all our hearts during this wonderful stage.

Baby holding head up when on tummy usually from 12 weeks.

Chubby little fingers and chubby little toes, cherubic smiles showing how clever we are laying on our tummy and holding our head high.

Baby 6 months old a special time in a baby’s life.

The traditional time for naked babies on lambswool rugs. We’re laying on our back and touching our toes (so cute) and smiling happily for the camera. We’ll sit up with our parents in a family portrait.

Baby sitting 6 to 8 months.

Strong and just growing up far too quickly, sitting and posing like a little model. Everyone loves this stage.

Baby 9 months old another magic moment.

Baby crawling and into exploring or playing on the floor with mum and dad, lots of fun!!

Babies’ first birthday 1 year old.

This is just too important to miss. Most families book this date at least 4 months in advance to make sure they hold their session.

Baby first steps 10 to 18 months.

Another important stage of growing up. Please, give us a gluepot to keep them in one place. The parents joy can be the photographer’s nightmare… Seriously, toddlers are an absolute delight. We photograph them totally naturally as they discover the delights of the world around them.

Please ask about our exclusive service, which covers your baby’s first year of life in a custom book.

Under the banner of family portraiture there are many choices of styles and locations. We design your photo shoot to suit your portrait needs; from funky to traditional, outrageous to conservative, off the wall to just simply beautiful every day photography.

You have many choices ranging from our fully equipped studio, our own “on site” garden / bush location, our local beach, in your own home or garden, on your property or great local environmental shoots in situations like train stations, streetscapes and even “urban decay”.

Your family can be photographed happily smiling at the camera through to interactive and playful images where the camera is recording the fun without   your images looking posed and static. We like to explore the photographic options with you, during a consultation in person or over the phone prior to the session.

As with all photo shoots at About Faces Photography, when you have made your booking we take the extra time to advise you on the best clothing choices for your chosen style of portrait. These small but important considerations can make all the difference to your finished portraits.

Retouching is another professional service we offer our clients. From a mosquito bite, to baby drool, through to tummy tucks and chin lifts. Most things that causes you concern can be easily solved with a little retouching on the images you choose to own.

Beach Photography Sessions.

Kids, Families and Singles or Couples on the Beach

Our beach portrait sessions are extremely popular with many families from Wollongong and Illawarra areas. Even overseas clients often book a session for when they are in The Illawarra region visiting friends and family.

On the beach we have photographed a man with his dog, a woman with her horse, loving couples, single children, sibling groups, families and extended families. The possibilities are endless. Being photographed at the beach is all about living in this great part of Australia.

When we photograph a family on the beach we not only do a variety of different shots of the family group such as walking, sitting, playing etc we also photograph the kids together and individually if you wish plus some of mum and dad as a couple because usually they haven’t been photographed professionally since their wedding day. All of this is part of an About Faces Photography beach family portrait session.

Bush / Garden Photo Shoots.

Families with Children or Singles and Couples in our Bush / Garden Settings.

Our on-site outdoor locations are very popular with both adults and children for portrait shoots. We have a very rustic slab and shingle barn with wonderful old lead light windows and an aging horse door feature, a cottage style garden area and a natural bush setting.

With iron wagon wheels, old timber boxes and 1950’s tricycles around the barn or playing peek-a-boo around the tree in the bush setting; the children have a great time. We photograph dad tumbling on the grass with mum happily watching on or joining the action to portray a natural casual feel. Our outdoor portraits are very popular with every member of the family.

Studio Photography

Adults, Teenagers and Family Studio Photography.

We can create a photographic session designed to suit your needs. The studio camera room can be ideal for adults or families with little babies or toddlers or the terrible twos through to teenagers. The studio session can also be ideal for young adults and extended families including multiple generations. It’s also very handy for when the weather turns bad or cold. About Faces Photography is one of the few portrait studios in Wollongong to have a permanent studio camera room.

Some of our clients want a lovely head and shoulders portrait that presents them at their absolute best. Some have a fun session with a fashion or model feel to it, where as others want romantic or arty full body lingerie or disrobed.

At About Faces Photography, we design the glamour shoot to suit your taste and style, and it’s always tasteful…

Please ask us about our new 1950’s style “Poster Girl” experience.

Most of our clients come in nervous and a little self-conscious. Everyone leaves saying WOW! How much fun was THAT…

We can reassure you as much as possible prior to your session but nothing will stop the nerves; and afterwards we are always thrilled at everyone’s response. It’s a great deal of fun and everyone enjoys the total glamour experience.

You can arrive with your hair and makeup already done or you can book our professional makeup artist to work her make over magic for you. For 1950’s “Poster Girl” sessions, our professional make-over stylist is required.

Couples are very welcome and can enjoy a range of loving images together and solo images as well.

For special occasions a glamour portrait is the ultimate gift. Consider a beautiful glamour portrait for an Engagement Present, Wedding Present, an Anniversary Gift, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day or Valentine’s Day. Drive your love wild this Christmas with a glamour portrait or just celebrate a special birthday or milestone in your life.

Book a girls day out party or hens party, its so much fun to all share the make over and photo shoot experience together. You will be photographed individually in a variety of poses that suit you and we also do some outrageously fun photos of all of you together. Enjoy chocolates, champagne and lots of laughter at our girls days out.
