Jacaranda Family Photo Shoots in Sydney

Every spring, Sydney turns purple. For just a few short weeks (late October through November), jacaranda trees burst into bloom and the whole city feels magical. Jacaranda season is one of my favourite times of year to photograph family sessions. These photos are bright, joyful, and so uniquely Sydney. Kids love playing under the falling petals, and the soft purple canopy makes every moment look dreamy.

What Jacaranda Shoots Are Like

• Short & sweet minis — easy, relaxed 15 minute sessions that make the most of the purple blooms.
  
• Playful & candid — no stiff posing, just kids running, laughing, and enjoying the moment.
  
• Seasonal magic — these shoots are only possible for a few weeks each year.

Where to See Jacarandas in Sydney

If you’re just looking for the best blooms, you’ll find jacarandas in spots like Kirribilli’s McDougall Street, Paddington, the University of Sydney, and The Rocks. Balmain is where I capture these mini sessions. I’ve got the perfect harbourside park, two sweeping jacarandas dusting the ground in purple confetti, and easy parking.  It couldn’t be better!
