Lifestyle Photography for Laid Back Families Who Value Quality Time Together in the Tropics

Hello and Welcome!

I’m Lizzy

Here at Lizzy Hannaford Photography, I am committed to creating a meaningful and personalised photography experience.

I embrace the chaos that comes with raising little ones and draw on my lifetime of experience working with families and young children to ensure you feel safe to be yourselves.

The Love Language of the Families who book with me is Quality Time. My sessions are a collaboration between Myself and your Family.

They are more than just pretty pictures. They are visual love letters that will one day be ‘Days Gone By’.

I pride myself on my down to earth nature, and value the thought that kids should be kids.

For further information, or to book, please contact me.

THE HEART BEHIND

What I Do

Childhood is the inspiration behind my work. The ways in which your Family spend time together. Whether that is reading books at home, swimming in the creek or at the beach, grabbing ice cream or fishing off the jetty.

I encourage your family to be yourselves, not worry about what you look like and focus on the things you want to remember.

I want you to be in the photos that will fill your family albums.

My favourite photos of my own family are always ones when we are doing things we love, in places we feel like ourselves, or the simple days at home that change so fast. ‘Remember when…’ is a common theme of my work.

KIND WORDS FROM MY FAMILIES

“After more than five years of working together, I can honestly say that Lizzy is nothing short of amazing. She makes everyone feel at ease straight away, has an incredible ability to read the room and works magic with newborns/toddlers. The experience is always relaxed and professional and the photos are consistently stunning. Cannot recommend Lizzy enough!”

“There are no words to truly do Lizzy’s work justice. We are so very thankful we found her to do our newborn home photography shoot. Lizzy was so friendly, easy to work with and we felt so comfortable. She was so helpful and thoughtful through the session. She was so fantastic and patient with our little girl too. From first email to delivery of our final gallery, Lizzy was so easy to communicate with and so prompt! I could not recommend her services highly enough and will forever be grateful to have such beautiful photos to remember such a special time. Thank You”

“Lizzy created the ultimate time capsule. I just know these photos will only grow more meaningful as the years go by. She captured me and my babies so naturally, just as we are, preserving the quirks, habits and beautiful chaos in our lives.

What really stood out to me was how incredible she was with my kids. The whole experience felt so relaxed, almost like she wasn’t even there, but in the best way. Her gentle, low pressure approach towards the kids made the session completely stress free, and my children were so at ease with her.

I’m so beyond grateful for these photos. They hold so much more than just images, they hold memories, moments and a feeling I’ll always want to return to. Thank you, Lizzy, for giving me something so special.”
