Residents love Templestowe for its peace and tranquillity. So do we as family and newborn photographers. This family-friendly suburb is just a half hour drive from Melbourne’s CBD and it has everything you need. There is Westfield nearby for some great shopping and food. The smaller Pines Shopping centre has your main supermarkets, a lot of delicatessens and little specialty stores as well as K-mart. The Pines Learning and Activity Centre offers lots of courses and health and fitness classes. Macedon Plaza is another great Templestowe shopping and restaurant area with a village feel. There are established schools and lots of playgrounds for the kids. A perfect area for wonderful family photography.
Templestowe Family Photographer
We love photographing in Templestowe. It’s a leafy green suburb in the Melbourne East with lots of wonderful parks. The area is very hilly so walking will definitely keep you fit (and think about the elderly in your photoshoots … you might want to choose an easy accessible location).
Locations for photoshoots
What we love most about Templestowe is Westerfolds Park. Set right on the edge of Templestowe, with the Yarra River running alongside it, Westerfolds Park is a beautiful area to walk through. We’ve done a few family photography sessions in there and it always looks amazing. You get beautiful sunsets and when you are lucky you even can spot a kangaroo during your photo session. There’s an adventure playground to keep the kids occupied and an undercover picnic area if you want to make it a day out or also incorporate it in your family photography session.
Templestowe houses also have great backyards which might be suited for a photoshoot – combine it with some pictures inside your home and you have the most personal experience for your family photography.
Family Photography in Templestowe
If you choose Westerfolds Park for your own family photography session, we’d highly recommend heading out there near sunset. There are plenty of spots for photography and the sun setting below the trees is quite special. Fallen tree trunks, fields of long grass and small forests make for beautiful backdrops. Not only is the light at it’s best during that time of the day, but you will also be accompanied by the local wildlife – the kangaroos! Westerfolds park is home to lots of kangaroos who are not too phased by visitors to the park. They’ll keep their distance but will happily graze with you close by. They are rather cute in the background of your family photo shoot!
There are plenty of other parks in Templestowe. Heide Musuem is very close. Or even shoot at your local property. Especially for Newborn Photography your own home is usually the best location.
