With two decades of experience, you can trust my ability to capture life's precious moments, allowing you to cherish the laughter, hugs, and tiny details that make your family unique.

I am well known for putting clients at ease and making the chaos look calm.

Beautiful outfits for mum, and little ones are available through my client closet. It’s a relaxed, comfortable morning for everyone. There’s no rush, there’s laughs and even a much-needed coffee for the parents. Pets are included in my photoshoots too! We can’t forget them.

“I take great pride in the relationships I have built with families over the years.”

I specialise in capturing the unique dynamics and personalities of families, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and at ease. I'll apply subtle enhancements in post-production, ensuring everyone looks their best.

Booking your photoshoot

  • I recommend that you get in touch in advance as soon as you can.

    I understand that a lot of families (without a newborn) look for a weekend spot. Typically my weekend sessions book out up to 8 weeks in advance.

    Once you have decided to book in, you will then receive a confirmation which includes information about your session, client closet options and preparing for your photoshoot.

Having your photoshoot

  • Think of me as a friend documenting your story. I never rush your session. I am very family lead and allow time for easing in and breaks.

    I want you to look at your images and think of it as a memorable, relaxed and special morning/afternoon.

    I also want to ensure that my clients understand that I do not expect perfection. There is not a lot I haven’t seen and I am very relaxed with whatever is thrown at me.

After your photoshoot

  • Typically, your images will be delivered to you within 2-3 weeks via password protected gallery for you to review.

    You can select your images or you can opt to upgrade to the entire gallery for an additional cost if you wish.

    I also have an online print store where you are able to purchase your prints (and frames if you wish) and have them delivered to your door.

Kind words from past clients.

  • She really is the master of family photoshoots and a sweetheart to boot

    “If you’re looking for a warm, professional and talented photographer that can document your family look no further than Jaqueline Whyte. We’ve had two sessions with Jaq and both have resulted in the most beautiful photos - you know the ones that make your eyes well up when you look at them. I’ve recommended Jaq to several friends who have all had the same experience. She really is the master of family photoshoots and a sweetheart to boot. We’ve vowed to do annual photoshoots with her! Would highly, highly recommend!”

    G Serisier, Norman Park

  • Her passion is evident

    “I can’t even put into words the gratitude I have for Jaq. If you’re looking for a photographer with incredible attention to detail, a caring heart, exceptional skills & a bag of tricks to get everyone excited & involved ( including toddlers) she is for you. Jaq captures images that are truly priceless. If you’re after a photographer who’s passion is evident in their work, look no further. LOVE!!! Highly recommend.”

    Britt Walsham

  • We were impressed with how natural and comfortable we all look

    “We have done 4 photoshoots with Jaq (2 pregnancy and 2 family sessions)! We always loved the photos taken and we were impressed with how natural and comfortable we all look. Jaq was very patient during the sessions, even with a very active toddler and a cranky newborn :) The photos still looked absolutely awesome. We can’t wait to have our next family photoshoot with her.”
