Family Photographer Brisbane

family photographer brisbane

When searching for a family photographer Brisbane, you want to make sure that you find someone that is affordable, experienced and relaxed! After all no-one smiles their best when they are being told off!

My name is Andy Williams and I like to think I have all three criteria! I have been a family photographer Brisbane for well over a decade so certainly tick the experience box! My family photography packages start at $149, so am affordable too! And relaxed? Well people often say I am so laid back I am positively horizontal!

And that’s why I have such a fantastic number of repeat clients! This photo shoot was Tayla and Luke’s 5th photography session with me (I also photographed their wedding, their engagement, and I did their maternity and newborn shoots too!) and I look forward to every shoot with them! They are always so laid back and with their beautiful 1 year old Isla on board now too, their are amazingly photogenic!

Our family photography packages start at $149 for a 30-minute shoot in the Redlands. This includes 20 high resolution digital images. Cool huh?! Or we can do an hour for $199 that will get you 40 high resolution digital images.

Headshot Photography

A great website needs great images. A picture tells a thousand words, right?! And a series of fantastic headshots will not only bring your website to life, but will show your clients who they are dealing with. Phone selfies just don’t cut it these days – one sharp, stylised, and edited image will do the work of 100 blurry I-Phone photos! Headshot photography is a must to set you apart from your competition.

Happily I work fast! So when I get called out to a headshot shoot, we will regularly get several different headshots and poses in a very short time frame. I will travel to your workplace with my camera gear and lighting and will you have you looking fantastic in minutes!

headshot photographer

The guys at Revolve Projects and Bayer Stevens share office space in Windsor, so in an hour we were able to get several different headshots of each person, both full height, and closer head shots, and even had time for some interior office photos too.

An hour goes by very quickly but the difference it will make to your website and social media presence is immense. Professional photography gives your business a professional outlook.

We travel to you so disruption and time out of the office is minimal. We also turn around 95% of jobs within a week. Each photography job is different so contact us for a quote, but most headshot photography jobs within the Brisbane area are $299 for an hour.

Affordable Family Photographer!

Affordable Family Photographer

If you are looking for an Affordable Family Photographer, Andy Williams of A Thousand Miles Photography can help! I travel around South East Queensland photographing families, couples, and weddings, and I adore my job!

Not only will you have fun on your shoot, but you will receive your high resolution digital images (so there are no hidden fees or extra print charges!!) within a week! Finding an Affordable Family Photographer isn’t easy – all too often the sitting fees may seem reasonable but the costs of acquiring the photographs can be extortionate! We take great pride in what we do, and we do it fairly and affordably too!

I am based in the Redlands on Brisbane’s Bayside but travel throughout the South East Queensland region. It works out a little cheaper if you travel to my region but I cover anywhere from the Sunshine Coast, down to the Southern Gold Coast – you can see the pricing here.

I do a lot of my family photo shoots at Wellington Point Reserve as there are so many amazing backdrops we can use! But I know the Redlands, and the Great Brisbane region very well so am always happy to offer some location suggestions, and clothing and posing advice comes for free too!

Family photography is my full time job so I work 7 days and (almost!) 365 days a year to capture your beautiful family. If you would like to check date availability, I would love to hear from you!

Engagement Photographer Brisbane

If you are looking for a fun and laid back engagement photographer Brisbane then you have found your man! Here at A Thousand Miles Photography we love engagement photography! We love watching your journey from a couple to being engaged to being married and we can capture your most important of life journeys without hassle or headaches!

Jarod arranged his Brisbane engagement shoot over the phone with me and was laid back, funny and open to suggestions! With our 2-hour engagement shoot, we can cover several locations and outfit changes and we decided on New Farm Park (one of my favourite engagement photography locations in Brisbane!) and Kangaroo Point cliffs!

As an engagement photographer Brisbane I feel that New Farm Park has an amazing variety of photo locations and backdrops – from the urban chic of the Powerhouse to the natural wonders of the trees and greenery, to the Brisbane River and Brisbane City backdrop.

We started at the Powerhouse and got some beautiful couples photographs, before heading to the big tree where we recreated the engagement!

The roses were in bloom which I love to use as a foreground with Brisbane city in the background. Once we had used up all of New Farm Parks backdrops we headed to Kangaroo Point cliffs where we braved the stairs of death and headed to the river for some amazing city photos!

We have some amazing engagement photography options which you can see on our Engagement Photography page!

Couples Photo Shoot

engagement photos brisbane

Booking in for a couples photo shoot with A Thousand Miles Photography will provide you with a fun and affordable way to spend an hour, and will provide you with some amazing memories that will last a lifetime!

Blessing and Taiwo booked in a couples photo shoot at Wellington Point Reserve, one of my favourite spots for couples photography, and were absolutely amazing to photograph! They had their poses worked out, laughed the whole time and made the session an absolute blast!

The guys mentioned they had recently got engaged so the couples photo shoot quickly turned into an engagement photo shoot! Blessing and Taiwo even brought along a change of clothes for a greater variety of photos! Luckily Wellington Point Reserve even has changing rooms!

We started at the amazing Moreton Bay Fig trees, then headed to the jetty for some bay photos. The best thing about Wellington Point Reserve is the variety of backdrops available! I love the mixture of blues, greens and browns that add huge variety to the photographs.

I loved how we managed to get a great variety of photos – some posed shots, plenty of candid photos, and some amazing belly laugh pictures! They are always my favourites! The guys were a little reluctant to do any solo photos at first but absolutely nailed it once they had relaxed and settled into their poses!

The one hour photography sessions always go so quickly! But they are so much fun! Our photographer, Andy, thinks he’s pretty funny (he isn’t!) and keeps the sessions relaxed and light, and will offer advice and pointers for posing and locations, but always welcomes any input, thoughts and ideas!

We offer one hour couples photography sessions for $199 in the mainland Redlands. This also includes around 50 high resolution images with no hidden extras or add ons! For other locations please click here!

Venue: Brisbane Botanic Gardens

When Sam sent me an email asking if I could do a couple’s photo shoot in Brisbane’s Botanic Gardens, I didn’t need asking twice! It is one of my favourite spots in my favourite city in the world and I jumped at the chance!

I met Sam and Todd on a warm January day, introduced myself, had a chat and dived into the photos! Although it was a warm day, it was perfect conditions for a couple’s photo shoot – slightly overcast and nice and bright.

It also helped that the botanic gardens were in full bloom; colour adds amazing depth to a couples photo shoot and makes for a fantastic backdrop.

The botanic gardens have some incredible locations for couple photos, but my favourite spot must be Fig Tree Avenue!

After capturing some beautiful couple photos in the park itself, we headed down towards Eagle Street for some photos with the Brisbane River and the Story Bridge as a backdrop. The breeze was fantastic and the light was amazing!

I always like to grab a few couple photos just outside the Botanic gardens on Alice Street, where the banyan trees have started to reclaim the fence!

Family Photography: Anna and Scott’s Robelle Domain Family Portrait Photos

Family photography is so much fun, especially when photographing such cuties! It was a bright and sunny winter afternoon when I met Anna and Scott and their gorgeous little girls at Robelle Domain in Springfield. The plan had been to do a larger family photo shoot but unfortunately a couple of the guys weren’t feeling the best but we went ahead anyway, and I am so glad we did!

Robelle Domain is a fantastic location for family photography – actually it’s a fantastic location for families full stop! – with plenty of shade, sun, and things to keep the kids amused!

We started in the nice grassy area down from the bridge – the focus was clearly on the two beautiful girls who smiled and played for the camera and made my job very easy!

We got Mum and dad in a couple of shots (well you gotta, hey?!) and then moved to the stairs behind. Walking all the way of course because we have to test out those legs!

Winters in Brisbane are awesome, and although I have acclimatised to Brisbane’s weather, I still find a 22-degree day pretty good for the coldest time of year! And ideal for lovely family photography!

Robelle Domain is blessed with fantastic family photography photo locations so we grabbed a few shots by the lake and then headed to the shade in the rainforest walk; an awesome wooden walkway that makes for amazing family photos.

Mother’s Day Photo Shoot: Vanessa, Tony & Family!

Date: 23rd April 2016

Location: Wellington Point

Mother’s Day photo shoots are a great gift idea for the Mum that has everything! Mother’s Day photos are personal, fun, loving, and they last a lifetime! Which is why Ness and Tony booked on a Mother’s Day photo shoot a few weeks before Mother’s Day so that they could print the photos off for Tony’s Mum as a Mother’s Day gift! Very wise thinking!

portrait photography family photography

 

 

 

 

Wellington Point was our location of choice (it is one of my favourite locations for family portrait photography in Brisbane) and headed to the centuries-old fig trees and started snapping. The guys were amazing! Everyone looked at the camera, smiled and didn’t misbehave! Even the kids were patient and weren’t distracted by the play park!

family photos portrait photography

 

 

 

 

 

I got some lovely family photos first and then a few photos of the kids together, including some lovely individual photos, then sent them off to play whilst I got some shots of Mum and Dad being cute! Aaaahhh, I remember those pre-kid days!

We were soon joined by Tony’s brother Matt and his lovely wife and continued snapping – I usually expect around 15 minutes of good photo time before boredom and itchy feet kick in and the specialist tactics take place, but in spite of having a 4-year old with us, we were still able to shoot for much longer!

I got some couple photographs and some family photos then stood back and got some more spontaneous, unposed photographs with the long lens as the family played and laughed. But sure enough where there’s boys and trees, the guys soon started climbing and swinging and generally being monkeys! No problems, I thought, I’ll grab some nice photos of the adults…hang on, Tony and Matt were up the tree too!

Then as patience started to wane, we headed to the jetty to recharge the batteries and grabbed a few more family photos in the sunshine before Tony grabbed the kids and started throwing them overboard! Actually, he didn’t but it made for some awesome giggling shots!

I used to struggle with what to get my Mum for Mother’s Day but every year we give her something fun and personal: a photo canvas of the grandkids, a photo book of her last visit, or some beautiful framed prints. After all, they are timeless and just keep on giving and no mother ever tires of photos of her children or grandkids!

Portrait Photography: Steph and Luke’s Wello Point Session!

Portrait Photography: Steph and Luke’s Wello Point Session!

Date: 1st April 2016

Location: Wellington Point, Redlands

Portrait photography is a lot of fun! You get to meet some fantastic people and photograph them in awesome locations! I met Steph, Luke, Peyton and Caleb at Wellington Point – my favourite place on Brisbane’s Bayside for portrait photography – and headed straight to the jetty. Poor Caleb had fallen asleep in the car and was still dozing when I started shooting – poor guy might regret that when he turns 21!

I always make a point of learning everyone’s names at a photo shoot – it helps with getting their attention, plus it’s just common courtesy! “You won’t have any problems remembering the names today,” said Luke; “I’ve got the kid’s names tattooed on my arm!” Haha, thanks Dad!

Caleb soon woke up and happily he wasn’t spooked by the strange bloke pointing a camera at him! In fact, he broke into the biggest smile of the day! And he scored a kiss on the cheek from his sister, Peyton!

We did a few shots on the jetty and in the small park in the middle of the Wellington Point park area, and then headed to the big fig trees where you are always guaranteed shade and amazing backdrops!

It’s always nice to get a few shots of each child with Dad and Mum seperately – as you can see, it was all smiles for Dad and all cuddles for Mum!

 

 

portrait photos portrait photography brisbane

 

 

 

 

 

The kids loved climbing amongst the roots and hiding behind the branches. Let them play I say! Some of the best shots will come from kids simply being kids!

And as a Dad myself, I loved how close Peyton is to her younger brother; they simply adore each other and weren’t shy having a little kiss for the camera! Honestly, doesn’t this just melt your heart!

wedding photography

Portrait photography has many guises; the group family photo, the couples photo, the kids photo, some black and white photos, and some spontaneous photos. We got them all that morning! Maybe it was because the kids had been swimming and were half a step behind but they certainly didn’t mind the camera and smiled brilliantly! Even Mum and Dad did a pretty good job! And remember that time before kids? When it was just the two of you? Yeah, me neither, but there was once upon a time a few years where it was just you two – romance, nights out, nights in – well kids kind of ends all that! So I make it a point to grab at least one couples photo of Mum and Dad, just so they can remember the good old days!

But let’s be honest, it’s all about the kids! So the last fifteen minutes were all about Peyton and Caleb being cute and looking awesome with their beautiful curls and fairy dress (Peyton, not Caleb…)

Then with five minutes to go we let the kids run free and they dived onto the climbing frame and were at the top before I could change my settings! Awesome: capturing kids being kids! Exactly what we wanted!

And all too soon our session was done. I would be fairly sure the swimming and the climbing would have meant a peaceful and early night for Mum and Dad! Thanks guys, I had a blast; hope you love the shots!

 

The photos arrived on Monday; I have been meaning to email you to say thank you but haven’t had a chance! The photos look good and  there are some really cute ones of the kids. I am more than happy to pass your details on to anyone who is looking for a photographer, we enjoyed our experience and are very happy with the results.
