The Whitworth family’s portrait session was one of those mornings you just know is going to be special. It was the 23rd of December, Christmas Eve Eve – a time when things are usually a little chaotic, but this crew started the day early to beat the crowds. They’d chosen Corlette Beach in Port Stephens for their family shoot, and honestly, the timing couldn’t have been better.

As the sun peeked over the horizon, the beach was glowing in that soft, blue hues light you can only get in the morning. We had some gorgeous cloud cover too, which gave everything this dreamy, peaceful vibe. It was like the world just slowed down for a bit, and it was perfect for capturing those moments of joy and connection that make family photos so meaningful.

Kathryn, Brad, and family were such troopers. They embraced the early morning with smiles, laughter, and plenty of fun – exactly what you hope for in a family session. The love between them is so clear, and it was an absolute pleasure to capture these memories right before Christmas.
