Locations
You might have a location in mind or somewhere special you would like your photos taken at. If you don't, I have a great list of locations on the Northern Beaches.
We are spoilt for choice here, whether you want a stunning ocean backdrop, grassy sand dunes, headland rocks for your children to explore as well as lakes and lagoons!
Every location is versatile and you'll get a mix of different scenery.
North Curl Curl Beach (sunset)
Mixture of rocks, sand dunes and ocean as a backdrop
Sheltered and usually calm surf conditions















North Curl Curl Beach (sunrise)
Mixture of rocks, sand dunes and ocean as a backdrop
Usually calm conditions right up the North end so we can get in the water if you’d like









Dee Why Rockpools (sunrise)
Natural rockpools to explore plus the swimming pools which are good fun and you can end the session with a swim!





Fairlight Beach + The Boatshed
Lots of great spots at the Boatshed
Short 5 minute walk from here to Fairlight Beach and rockpool where we can walk between








Long Reef Beach (Sunset)
I like to shoot at the South end of Longy, on Dee Why Lagoon
On a clear day the sun sets over the lagoon
Mixture of lagoon and grassy sand dunes as a backdrop
Car park is close to where the session will take place making it convenient for those with little ones or who can’t walk too far

North Narrabeen (sunset)
Grassy sand dunes
Car park is close by
Once sun sets we will get photos with the ocean as a backdrop






Red Hill Reserve
Beacon Hill
Red/pink/white rocks and sand surrounded by bushland
10-15 minute walk on a cleared track from the road













Jamieson Park on Narrabeen Lake (sunset)
A great alternative to beachy photos
Mixture of bushland and lake as a backdrop
Beautiful sunsets over the lake
Lots of spots to walk around and explore














Turimetta Beach (sunset)
Beautiful natural landscape
Least busy beach in the area
Mixture of grassy sand dunes, rocks and ocean as a backdrop
Large set of stairs to get down and I like to move around a bit from the rocks to the sand so please keep this in mind if you have little ones that need to be carried










Turimetta Beach (sunrise)
Stunning sunrises on a clear day
Natural landscape and the least busy beach in the area
Large set of stairs to get down and I like to move around a bit from the rocks to the sand so please keep this in mind if you have little ones that need to be carried








Long Reef Headland
Rocks, beach, lots of greenery and vegetation on a big hill on the side of the headland
Not too busy
A bit of walking involved, great for family sessions with kids aged 2+ or maternity sessions






Collins Beach (sunset)
West-facing so sun sets over water
Beautiful landscape, in the national park
I like clients to get in the water here as it really adds to the photos!
Sessions here are generally quicker as it’s very bright to begin with so we start closer to sunset











Freshwater Beach
Calm surf conditions so easy for little ones to have a splash
Keep in mind, weekends in summer can be too busy here especially when the weather is good.
Beautiful at sunrise and sunset














Fairy Bower Rock Pool (Sunrise)









Snappermans Beach Reserve (sunset - weekends & school holidays only)
The sun sets over Pittwater. On a clear day it is very bright so sometimes sessions here run for just 40 mins but the light is breathtaking!
Flat grassy area, small beach, easy for kids to have a splash if they want
Leave extra time as it can get busy on weekends and can sometimes be tricky to get a car spot
