Light and Airy Autumn Photos in Hyde Park Perth | Lauren Natalia Photography

Two children playing in the autumn leaves at a Perth family photography session in Hyde Park with Lauren Natalia Photography

Hyde Park is a very well loved photography location here in Perth, and autumn is definitely my favourite season to take photos there. I love all the the beautiful golden brown colours, and it is always so fun for the kiddies to play in the crunchy leaves!

I thought I would share a few photos I took of my own kiddies in Hyde Park last year, as they are some of my absolute faves. Throwing leaves is always a hit with the little ones, and pretty much guarantees some fun happy expressions!

Aside from the smiles and really sweet moments, I think another part of why I love these photos so much is because of the colour combinations. I love the pink and white against the autumn backdrop, and the soft colours really help to keep that “light and airy” style that you may have noticed I’m a fan of :p

Natural Newborn Photos At Home - Capturing the hazy, beautiful love bubble | Lauren Natalia Photography

April 3, 2025 Lauren Natalia

I remember being pregnant and all the mum’s at my work telling me how fast the time goes when they are little, and looking back, having gone through the newborn phase twice now myself, I can safely say it really does fly. Those newborn days which can feel so hazy and blurry with sleep deprivation (and that sometimes - while you’re in it - feel like they stretch on forever) really do pass by in the blink of an eye.

In the midst of all the craziness that comes with adjusting to being new parents, getting photos taken can sometimes feel like a really heavy lift, but it’s one of those things that you will never regret doing (and I say this as a mum, not just as a photographer!)

Natural and relaxed photos of kids with the help of Moonkie beach toys | Lauren Natalia Photography

April 16, 2024 Lauren Natalia

One of my favourite ways to get really beautiful, natural photos of kids is to give them an activity to do, or a toy to play with, and to then step back a little and be “the observer” - documenting the cute moments that just naturally unfold when we let kids do their own thing rather than trying to get them to look and smile at the camera.

So when Moonkie reached out and asked if I would like to try out one of their products I was very happy to have found a brand that is both functional and fun for the kids, but is also so aesthetically pleasing and I knew would photograph beautifully - really adding to photos rather than distracting (as super bright toys sometimes can) and, photos aside, just generally being nice to look at for a pastel lover like myself!

An intimate solo maternity session at home | Lauren Natalia Photography

March 24, 2024 Lauren Natalia

This was supposed to be a maternity session with both parents-to-be at the beach, but when Emi’s hubby had to head to France a few days before our planned shoot date, we decided we’d still do the session, just in case bub decided to arrive before we were able to reschedule (you never know what’s going to happen with babies!!) (We luckily did manage to fit in time to take those photos at the beach and I’ll be sure to link them when the post for that session is up).

So we decided to do a solo maternity session at home, and it resulted in these gorgeous photos! Isn’t she just so beautiful? 😍

All maternity sessions are special, but there is just something extra magical about maternity photos when it is your first baby.

I think because it’s freezing, in this moment, memories of who you are, and how life feels right now - before it changes completely. There is something so special about being able to look back at yourself and your bump and remember those feelings - the excitement, the anticipation, the nervousness about what’s to come, the feeling their kicks and waiting to meet them!

A relaxed newborn and family session by the river | Lauren Natalia Photography

I’m so happy to finally be sharing these photos from a really beautiful and relaxed newborn/family session down by the river. It was a typical, hot, Perth afternoon in late November , so we decided to start up in the park area under the trees and then headed down to the water a little later, where big sis had a lot of fun splashing around!
