Centennial Park Family Photography: Timeless, Easy & Full of Heart
If there’s one spot that feels like my signature, it’s Centennial Park. It’s wild and natural — the kind of place that makes you feel like you’re in the middle of the bush, even though you’re right in the heart of Sydney. Families love it because it’s beautiful and timeless, but also incredibly easy and accessible.
Whether you’re after a quick mini session or a full sunset shoot, Centennial Park is one of my favourite locations. It gives you that relaxed, out-of-the-city feeling without ever having to leave town — and the photos we create here are always full of heart.
Why Choose Centennial Park for Your Family Photos?
Centennial Park is one of Sydney’s most versatile and stunning family photography locations. Here’s why I love it:
- Timeless backdrops: Wide open golden fields, winding paths, lakes, and bushland textures.
- Wild nature in the city: It feels like you’ve escaped to the countryside, even though you’re just minutes from home.
- Incredibly beautiful sunsets: The colours, textures, and golden light make this one of my all-time favourite sunset spots.
- Seasonal beauty: From wattle in winter to summer grasses, every season brings new tones.
- Room to play: Plenty of space for kids to run, climb, and explore.
- Dog-friendly: Bring your four-legged family member along for the adventure.
It’s the perfect balance: wild and beautiful, yet easy and accessible.
Centennial Park Mini Sessions
Want family photos without committing to a full session? Centennial Park is where I run my signature mini sessions.
- Short and sweet (20 minutes): Ideal if you just want a handful of updated family shots.
- One location: Minis are focused in one small, carefully chosen spot — perfect for quick and simple sessions.
- Relaxed and easy: Just turn up, let the kids be themselves, and I’ll capture the magic.
These sessions are perfect for busy families, toddlers with short attention spans, or anyone who wants photos that feel relaxed without a big time commitment.
A Full Sunset Session in Centennial Park
If you want the full story, a full shoot at golden hour is where Centennial Park truly shines. With more time to explore, we can capture the full range of what this location has to offer:
- Golden fields: Wide open spaces with glowing light and tall grass.
- The lake: Beautiful reflections and a softer, quieter backdrop.
- The woodlands: Textured trees, shaded paths, and a more intimate, natural feel.
- Beyond: We can wander, play, and make the most of the park’s variety.
With a full session, you get the depth and variety that a mini simply can’t capture. We’re not limited to one small spot — we can move, explore, and follow the kids’ lead. If you’ve been dreaming of photos that feel both relaxed and expansive, this is the option for you.
What to Expect from Your Centennial Park Shoot
- Relaxed vibes: No posing, no pressure — just connection and play.
- Flexible timing: Minis at set times, or a full session scheduled perfectly for sunset.
- Variety: A mini gives you one beautiful spot, while a full session takes you through fields, lakes, and woodlands.
- Beautiful, natural images: Think golden light, wind in your hair, kids running, dogs chasing, and genuine family connection.
