Family Photography Sydney, maternity and newborn portraits

for the moments too good to forget

Family Stories Photographer owner

Every Family has a Story

and I’m honoured to help you tell yours through beautiful, heartfelt family photography. I’m Yelena, a family photographer in Sydney specialising in maternity, newborn, family, and extended family sessions. My relaxed approach allows me to capture the genuine love and connection within your family, ensuring everyone (especially little ones) feels at ease in front of the camera.

As a mum of two, I know first-hand how quickly time slips away: from the tiny squishy toddler cheeks to the proud moments of a first day at school, to grandparents’ gentle smiles when they see their newborn grandchild. That’s why my sessions are all about celebrating your life as it is right now: raw, real, and unforgettable.

Alongside my family, maternity, and newborn photography, I also offer couple portraits, women’s portraits, and special milestone sessions such as birthdays and anniversaries. My packages are thoughtfully designed to suit every stage of family life - whether you’re expecting your first child, chasing after toddlers, or gathering generations together.

For inspiration, tips, and a glimpse behind the scenes, you’ll also find a rich and growing blog page on my website. And when you’re ready, I’d love to help create memories that your family will treasure for generations.

Don't wait until your kids grow up and become easier to manage, they are already perfect. You are already beautiful and I know a thing or two about dealing with grumpy dads.
