Why Spring Is the Perfect Season for Extended Family Photography in the Dandenong Ranges and Melbourne

Spring is the season of connection, colour, and new beginnings — making it the perfect time for extended family photography sessions across Melbourne and the Dandenong Ranges. After months of cool weather, families are ready to get outdoors, enjoy the sunshine, and create beautiful memories together. 

Vibrant landscapes and gentle light
From the lush gardens of the Dandenong Ranges to the leafy parks around Melbourne, spring delivers a spectacular backdrop for family portraits. The trees are full, flowers are blooming, and the golden light of springtime adds warmth and depth to every image. It’s nature’s way of setting the stage for incredible family photos.

Perfect weather for all generations
When grandparents, parents, and children come together for a photoshoot, comfort is key. Spring’s mild temperatures and soft breezes make outdoor sessions relaxed and enjoyable for everyone — without the heat of summer or the chill of winter. It’s the perfect environment for natural smiles and meaningful moments.

Celebrate family milestones
Spring often coincides with important family gatherings, birthdays, and reunions. It’s an ideal time to capture those rare moments when everyone is together. These extended family sessions create heirloom portraits — images that tell the story of your family’s generations and the love that binds them.

Plan ahead for a memorable session
Because spring is one of Melbourne’s most popular photography seasons, booking early ensures you’ll secure your preferred date and location. Whether it’s a multi-generation shoot among the blossoms of the Dandenong Ranges or a relaxed afternoon in a Melbourne park, spring offers everything you need for stunning, joy-filled family portraits.

I first met Zoe and baby Layla when they came to my studio for Layla's newborn portraits, I was thrilled a couple of months later when Zoe booked in for her Mum's birthday present of extended family photos. I loved meeting Zoe's entire family and creating these precious memories for Cynthia and Michael of their girls, partners and granddaughters.
