Family Portraits

Having family portraits on your walls means that your children get a powerful daily reminder – they are loved, they belong, they are important. This is what we are experts at – creating personalised Artwork for your home that will be proudly displayed and enjoyed for decades to come. We know that as your children rapidly change and grow, it’s this Artwork above all else that becomes priceless.

That is why we only offer the highest quality materials in our artwork range of archival, museum-grade products. Together with our unique, “sunlit-style” of natural photography, and unconditional warranties up to 75 years, we deliver a premium product and service to our clients that is unparalleled.

The Portrait Experience

The finished product we deliver is the result of a carefully designed process. From advice on what to wear, to professional installation of your artwork.

We call it, “The Sunlit Experience”.

01

Planning Consultation

During this 30-minute phone call or Zoom session, we’ll:

1. Explore why you have decided to engage a Photographer
2. Discuss our exclusive locations for your photography session
3. Provide you with clothing suggestions based on the location chosen
4. Provide details of current Artwork range, including payment options.

02

Photography Session

Your Professional Photographer will guide you through the Shoot experience at your chosen location. We know the value of creating a fun, comfortable environment to achieve natural, happy expressions. So, we invest the time to get to know you, have fun with you, and provide posing suggestions as needed. With all our Photographers being parents themselves, we know what works (and doesn’t) with children of all ages.

03

Design and Ordering Appointment

1-2 weeks after your shoot, you’ll be invited into our Studio to design your Personalised Artwork. Your memories will be presented in a beautiful slideshow while we make sure tissues are on hand. After celebrating your family, our Artwork expert will take you through all the different options to suit your home’s style and décor.

04

Once your images have been professionally retouched by our in-house editing team, your artwork will be prepared and ready to collect within 2-4 weeks. Certain products even include professional installation, making the experience from start to finish as convenient and exciting as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Over the past 10 years, we have scouted all over south-east Queensland to find amazing backdrops for our photography shoots. The result is a short list of locations that meet the following criteria:

  1. Natural (no freshly mowed grass, or street signs in the background, for example)
  2. An attractive angle to the sun (it’s all about the light!)
  3. Private if possible.

To keep our locations as private as possible, we try to keep our locations exclusive for our clients only.

You can see our most popular locations in our Wardrobe Guide, which you can download above for free. 

A great question! Choice of clothing is actually very important when it comes to the overall look of your photographs. As such, we have put together a comprehensive list of clothing advice to help you decide what is best to wear – or to give you an excuse to go shopping!

Our Wardrobe Guide can be downloaded above for free. Take a look!

Absolutely! We allow a little extra time so we can photograph a variety of shots of the whole group, as well as individual family units, grandchildren, adult children with parents, cousins etc.

 

Cameron and Alana (owners of Sunlit Studios) are both 1 of 6 children. So, we are very accustomed to lots of children!

We have taken countless portraits of families with one or more children having special needs. Our strategy of having lots of fun during the shoot, instead of posing heavily, usually brings out the best in everyone.

Editing has two stages – Colour Correction and Retouching.

Colour Correction – this is performed on your photographs before your Appointment. By having the colours enhanced already, you’ll be able to make an informed decision on which expressions and moments you love the most for your Artwork.

Retouching and further enhancement – this stage is much more time and skill intensive. As such, we wait to see what photographs you choose for your Artwork, so we know which photographs to perform our premium skin retouching service on. This includes fixing things like double chins, bra straps, flyaway hairs, scars, tan lines, background distractions and any other requests you make to ensure we bring out the very best in you and your loved ones.

We take no shortcuts in the editing process and we know you are just going to love the results!

As a small, family owned and run business, we take great personal pride in our clients being 100% satisfied with their investment with Sunlit Studios.

Our commitment to our client’s satisfaction is evidenced by our reviews on Google and Facebook, which can be viewed here.

As such, if you are not 100% satisfied with the experience and photographs presented to you at your Design and Ordering Appointment, we will offer you, without hesitation, a full refund of the $400 Sunlit Experience fee.

Since our humble beginnings in 2010, we are still yet to receive a request for a refund.

Unfortunately, weather is something we can’t control. As our warm, colourful style of photography relies on at least a little bit of sunshine, we will always encourage you to reschedule your photography shoot to another, sunnier day.

As weather can change quickly and families often have hair and makeup booked in, we usually make the final decision the morning of the shoot as to whether we reschedule or not.

Rescheduling comes at no cost.

Absolutely! We accommodate interstate or overseas families in the following ways:

  1. We schedule the Shoot date AND a backup shoot date the next day in case of poor weather
  2. We provide an express editing service, so we can host you for your Design and Ordering appointment within 24 hours of your Shoot and before your holiday ends.
  3. World-wide shipping of your Artwork.

You don’t need to – all artwork purchased includes a watermarked ‘Social Media’ digital photograph of your chosen artwork photographs for free!
