Melbourne Family Photographer

“Not only are the quality of his photos excellent, Jon is just fantastic as a person. Down to earth, genuine, and genial, he made the photoshoot experience very enjoyable. Personally, I am not big on photoshoots (my wife is the one who arranges them). But if the photographer is Jon, I would do it again in a heartbeat.”

“Jon has a gift of capturing the essence of family life effortlessly. he is always able to put the kids (and even the most camera shy adults) at ease, to give us the most natural family photos to treasure. Our family sessions with Jon are more than just photos, but are a snapshot in time of a priceless season when the kids are little.”

“Jon exceeded our expectations as he could create something spectacular and magical from our family day to day activities at home. Thank you so much for making every moment look extra special. We will always treasure these photos that have touched our hearts forever.”

“Jon is the most amazing family photographer. My baby son usually is shy, but Jon put him so at ease and caught all his smiles! Jon made this such a memorable, enjoyable experience, and the photos are exactly what we wanted!”

“Jon turned a seemingly average park backdrop into a magical place in time with his talents in capturing just the right moment with every shot. We were blown away by each one and the struggle is real to choose a handful for the wall! Our beloved labradoodle also made it into many of the lovely shots despite being hyperactive during the shoot. Jon is so relaxed and easy going, constantly checking in if we are doing okay and moves with your pace. He’s the perfect ninja to have capture your celebratory moments.”

“Family photos are an invaluable asset, and choosing the right person to trust to document your family isn’t easy. Truly no-one gets captures like Jon though. His creative ability is one of a kind and his love for his own family shines through. His presence in our home is so unobtrusive, which gives him access to capture the true moments. The images he’s created for our family have become our most prized possessions.”

“Jon was very interactive with my toddler son in the entire photoshoot, which is what we love about him. He's always trying his best to capture him in the most natural state. The photos were beautiful and exceeded our expectations. All our family and friends love them. Looking forward to our next shoot with him. Thanks for everything”

“We had such a wonderful shoot with Jon. His gentle nature really made our family feel relaxed and comfortable. My little toddler was especially fond of Jon and kept asking where 'Uncle Jon' went after he left. Haha. We looove our photos! Highly recommend.“

“After 7 years of wanting to engage Jon, our location and timelines finally aligned and I managed to book a session. He definitely did not disappoint and we were absolutely blown away by Jon’s pictures. He is patient and engaging and always ready to go with the flow. Thank you again!”

“Jon is an amazingly talented photographer. We had a family shoot with him in the comforts of our home and he captured just the day-to-day moments so well. It was a really relaxing and comfortable shoot...and he was excellent with our little daughter! He was very professional and the turn around time for the photos was very quick. We are so grateful to Jon for the lovely memories he captured (right before we became a family of 4) and we will treasure them forever. Thank you Jon!”

“We had previously done our pre wedding shoot with Jon and we are really happy we decided to engage Jon again for our family shoot. Jon was prompt and well prepared for the shoot. He gave us tips prior to the shoot to prepare us and our 2 year old for it. The shoot went pleasantly well and my son warmed up to Jon really fast! We had a great time and absolutely love our photos. He is very professional and experienced and worked with our location/wet weather and scouted for good shots on the spot.”

“We had the most enjoyable family session with Jon, despite my reservations about how our three rambunctious kids would behave. Jon won them over with his easygoing nature and patient attitude, and by the end my kids were asking when we were going to see Uncle Jon again. Cannot thank Jon enough for the gift of these moments, images of our family as we are - joyful captures I will treasure forever.”

“We have had the privilege of Jon shooting our wedding, and 3 years later, he did our family shoot.

My husband and I often joke between ourselves that our first date was magical, and each time we received the photos, Jon has truly captured our milestones (wedding weekend / life with our first born) so magically, and with just a touch of whimsy!

Thank you, Jon! We are already looking forward to when we can work with you again!”

“Absolutely in love with the photos that Jon took for our family. It was a very precious first holiday with our new baby and toddler - and Jon captured our time beautifully. He is friendly and amazing with kids- we really appreciated that. Thank you for the priceless pictures!”

“Family photos with Jon is an annual ritual for us since he also photographed our wedding. We love his gentle spirit, and the soft, honest beauty he captures with each image.”

“Jon is such a talented photographer, he doesn’t do staged photos – just images that truly capture the emotion, the love and sheer joy of the event that you are having. He has a gift in that he is able to get right in on the moment without ever feeling obtrusive or invasive. We will always treasure the photos that Jon has captured not only of our wedding day, but 3 years later, in our family home capturing just daily life with our new family addition. He is kind and gentle and understanding, plus a Rockstar behind the lens. Thanks Jon!”

“Jon is not only an expert at his craft, but is also kind, patient and great at working with young kids. Jon was able to capture the brightness, cheekiness and laughter that we see from our daughter everyday. We were overwhelmed when we received our family photos and will cherish them forever. We cannot recommend Jon highly enough!”

“Jon has a lovely calming, patient air about him and so accommodating of toddler & baby tantrums. We love the family photographs he has taken two years in a row and we hope to have him back next year!”

“Thank you for once again capturing such beautiful shots of our family!

This is our second shoot with Jon and we couldn't speak more highly of our experiences with him. Last year for our first shoot we were juggling two young boys and a newborn, and this year three young boys under five. Jon is so patient and great at guiding and directing when he senses we need help, and also stepping back to let us just be. He is so easy to communicate with in the lead up, and he built such a good rapport with the boys. We absolutely love and cherish the photos you've taken of our boys and us.

Jon, thank you for capturing such precious moments of our lives which we will treasure forever. We are thankful to have you to capture snapshots of the boys at every age as they grow.”

“We are so blessed to have Jon capture all the milestone moments of our growing family. Jon has always been our favourite photographer because he makes us feel at ease and is great with the kids. We are so grateful to have a beautifully curated collection of family photos where we can look back in the years to come.”
