For 22 years, people have entrusted their family photography in Melbourne to Enhance Studios. Every age and every generation – the babies, the teenagers, the grandparents, the dog – together in our Port Melbourne studio, crafted into artwork that holds the love and laughter, made to be handed down. The story only your family tells.
The craft of a Family Photograph in Melbourne
Walk into one of our family photography sessions and you will hear laughter. That is not luck. It is the craft.
Twenty-two years of photographing families teaches you what no camera can do on its own. We plan the session around the youngest person’s best hour, because a toddler’s mood decides everything. We ask every adult to be in the photographs, never watching from the side, because children follow what the grown-ups do. We know how to help a teenager drop the act, and how to find the look that passes between a grandmother and her grandchild.
The joy in our family photographs is real, drawn out of your family and held still. That is what you are framing.
Every generation, in one artwork
We are built for the whole family. Three generations, the cousins, the aunties and uncles, the dog who thinks he is one of the children.
Our largest session so far brought 35 members of one family into the studio, and onto one wall.
If your family has never once been in the same photograph, that is the one to make.
“What an amazing experience! We could not be more thankful for such beautiful photos. You captured the personalities of each family member so well and created moments that will be treasured forever. Thank you so much.”

Generations
Capture the essence of what makes your family truly special. We believe every family is one of a kind, and our Generation Family Portrait sessions are designed to reflect just that.
“A moment we’ll treasure forever! What truly stood out was the way Karina captured our family’s bond so authentically. Every photo tells a story … full of emotion, laughter and love. These aren’t just photos – they are cherished memories that we will hold onto forever.”

FAQs
Got questions about your Family Photography in Melbourne? We’ve got answers!
When is the best time for a Family photography experience?
ANY TIME! Our Studio is open Tuesday – Saturday and we even have the occasional late night session for those really busy older families.
We know the absolute HARDEST part about organising your photo session is getting everyone together (especially when organising older children and generational groups).
Always consider the youngest people first, whether a toddler is in a good or bad mood will change the outcome of your photography session drastically, so always think of the time when they will be in the best mood – ready to listen and play.
How many people can come?
The more the merrier! We love having large families and groups of cousins and Aunties and Uncles! Anyone that you’d like in your photos, we’ll be happy to cater to. The largest group we’ve had was an extended family of 35!
HOWEVER – you cannot come to the studio just to watch… If you’re here to see how it all works, you must get into the photos and have some fun with us too! It’s important for the younger family members to see that the adults are willing participants, it helps them understand to listen to the photographer, ensuring we all have fun and enjoy the time in the studio.
What do we wear?
There is no quick answer to this question, every family is unique, just like every photo session.
However if you need some inspiration I recommend looking at our blog HERE or simply checking our portfolio above!
For more tailored advice to your individual family needs, simply book in a pre-shoot consultation, which is complimentary and can be booked online – HERE
What about Hair and Make up?
Enhance Studios encourages each family member to be themselves… and that means doing what you do normally with your hair and make up.
Our photos are retouched to ensure you look your best, but most importantly we want you to look the way your kids and family will remember you…which is not with a face of professional make-up.
Can I get digital files?
Yes, we do sell high-resolution digital files of whatever you have purchased from your shoot as finished products, like wall art or albums.
For example:
If you order a collection of 6 canvases on the wall and an album of 12 images, you’ll receive high-resolution JPEGs of those 18 images.
We also have digital galleries available to you where the files are retouched & prepared for print they are Hires & lo-res colour and black and white – these start at 10 images for $1490 and come with added wall art credit.
