“So supportive and made us feel so comfortable through the whole process from organising at the start, to the very end at collection. When we arrived at our viewing we were offered drinks and were set up with a lovely little platter. Our whole experience with the studio and especially our photographer Caity was wonderful and we will definitely recommend them to our family and friends. Thank you to the beautiful team and for our portraits they are beautiful, we can’t wait to hang in our home. Kind regards, Jade and Corey.”- Jade Larkin
``Lana and the team are absolutely amazing how she was able to capture the photos of our toddler is beyond me but every single one turned out absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for capturing our special moment as a new family of 4, we will treasure these photos forever!”- Melissa Scarlett
“Family photo's with my beautiful grandchildren. Lana & Caity made us feel welcome & were able to capture exactly the right shots for me - fun, energetic & the love between a Grandmother & her beautiful grandchildren ❤️. Very special memories❤️”- Jenniffer McPherson
“My daughter won her first photoshoot at 6 months old. Throughout our experience we got the pleasure of working with both Lana and Caity. Upon arrival for either session, you are greeted with platters, tea and coffee. It's a welcoming, open, beautiful space that you are welcomed into with open arms. Lana was our photographer and having never been in front of the camera, she had my husband and I relaxed in no time. Bub loved showing off for Lana, and absolutely smashed it out of the park. Caity took us through our photo selection process and worked with us to figure out what would best suit us. We ended up going 12 single prints we can frame ourselves. This pack also included ALL photos from our shoot so we didn't miss out on any, making the process much easier. These women captured the essence of our new little family, and I am so grateful I'll always have such a special time to reflect back on. Now the hard part begins... Where to hang?``- Jessica Shepherd

Why Choose Light House Studio?

FAQs

  • Q: What should we wear to our session?

    I normally recommend neutral tones to suit the colours of your home, as your portraits will be on the walls, you want them to blend seamlessly with your styling. Try to avoid lots of matching outfits, as this can look a little blocky, and keeping patterns and stripes to a minimum will help draw the focus to your beautiful connection. Some of my favourite colour combinations are: Light grey, tan, white and light blue to compliment a coastal/Hamptons style lounge room. Adding pops of colour that are highlighted in the room you want to display your portraits is also a great idea. If you have fun mustard yellow cushions, why not add a bit of that colour tone into your family outfit too.

  • Q: What if my hubby isn’t interested or my kids are shy/ cranky?

    I know how tricky this can be! But don’t worry, I work with kids every day and I know how to bring out their best moods. Bearing in mind any naps times when booking your session will make things flow a little smoother, but you don’t need to feel any pressure to perform. Hubby probably thinks his cheeks will hurt from forcing a smile for too long! I photograph real families, exactly as you are, and if you relax, take the pressure off yourself and just have fun, your smiles will be as natural as ever. Don’t forget to tell him about the brownie points he’ll have!

  • Q: Can we bring our fur baby?

    Absolutely! I have pets in the studio every day and I know they are important members of the family. Just let me know they are coming and I can recommend what to bring along for them based on their size, age and breed to make sure I am capturing their personality perfectly.

  • Q: Can we have an outdoor session?

    We offer outdoor sessions on weekdays at our favourite secrets spots around Brisbane. I will photograph your family around sunset which is when the lighting is the prettiest. If you are having a baby under 12 months or a pet photographed, I would recommend a studio session in our custom-made Warehouse studio in East Brisbane.  Spots are quite limited for outdoor sessions so best to get in quickly!
