Headshot Photo Studios in Canberra

Engaging with Michael and Mel for our wedding day photography had been the best decision! Michael essentially guided us through planning the day when we enquired with them, not knowing where to start at all. It has been a pleasure communicating with the team. Michael and Mel even rang me the day before to check in, before I got the chance to do so - the professionalism really impressed me. Our wedding day was so enjoyable as well. They made us and our guests feel so relaxed with the photos and helped us controlled our time well. I would most definitely recommend them your photographers, and could not wait to engage with them for future family portraits etc!

A Big Thank-you to you, Michael!!
You have captured our Big Day’s Precious Moments so Meticulously as each photo says a story, moment by moment, of how that Beautiful Day unfolded. Amongst the chaos of organising everything on the big day, it was your Kindness, Patience and Calm approach that guided us through the day to get the best photos. Right from the moment we engaged you, your Professionalism and Ingenuity have been Remarkable! We were able to rest knowing that our wedding photos were in good hands thanks to your attention to detail and expertise!
We have shared our Wedding Photos with Family and Friends all over Australia and even to the other side of the world, and the reaction to the photos have been Absolutely Amazing!! Everyone has the nicest words to say about the photos and how you have captured the Essence of the Day, So Beautifully! You are a Truly Gifted Person, and we are so Grateful for what you have done for us!!
Thank-you So Much :)

We had a Mel Hill photobooth at our wedding a few weekends ago. The booth was a hit and all our guests seemed to have a fantastic time and will hopefully have some wonderful memories and photos of the day!

We would also like to make a big shout out to Michael who attended the booth throughout the event. He was so professional and friendly and we were very lucky to have him there. They were also able to set up and pack down very quickly, and helped our guests with the guestbook.

The whole group were also super helpful in the lead up with constant communication to ensure everything was in place well ahead of time.

We couldn't recommend Mel and her husband Michael from Mel Hill Photography enough!
Mel & Michael were so fun to work with, as people that don't love the camera in our faces, they made us feel comfortable and the end result was amazing. We are completely blown away with our wedding photos, they managed to capture every single special moment of our day. All of our guests have commented how beautiful the photos are. They are full of light and colour, we couldn't be happier with how they turned out.

Michael, words do not extend enough appreciation for the photographs produced from our wedding not four weeks ago. My now husband (Chris) and i were shocked to see the captured moments of the laughter, love and happiness during and after our ceremony. A gorgeous day captured perfectly in an abundance of perfect pictures to carry with us through the entirety of our marriage; to share with loved ones and share in generations to come.
A sincere thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

I had the most amazing experience with Ina, she is such a magical photographer and captured the personality and beauty of my old girl perfectly. She was so accommodating and professional. I now have something to cherish the memories of my beautiful Xena forever. Sadly our K9 companions can't stay with us long enough but having some beautiful photos really keeps part them alive ❤️

My dog Maggie Noodle Magoo saved my life. What a wonderful way to appreciate your dog. Ina is kind, professional and an excellent photographer that captured The Noodle perfectly. Ina is a true animal lover, a big thanks to you 💕

I had the best experience with Ina. She is so professional, patient and she is incredible at what she does. I had a photoshoot with my 2 Labradors(which I had to reschedule originally and Ina was very understanding). They were so naughty and did not listen but Ina took the most spectacular photos! Thank you so much!

Ina is an amazing photographer with a genuine love for dogs and what she does. She was extremely understanding that 1/3 of my dogs could be reactive and took her time to work with us all. The dogs all had such a wonderful time, as did we, and now we have beautifully captured pictures of our dogs and selves to cherish for ever. Couldn’t recommend Ina enough!

Ina is not only a great friend but such a talented photographer. We had the pleasure of booking in for a session and she blew me away with her skills. I am so impressed with how she made my two dogs look so well behave when they are defiantly not. These are memories we will keep forever ❤️

Ben was so much fun to work with! He was great at creating energy and setting a scene, he really understood the vision we had and nailed it! We would definitely work with Ben again in the future and could not recommend him more!

My experience working with Ben couldn't have gone any better! He understood exactly what my vision was for our product shoot. The shoot itself was so much fun and full of energy! When the photos came back, they exceeded my expectations and were perfect! I will 100% be using Ben again for photos and would recommend him to anyone.

I had the pleasure of working with Ben on my product launch. When I initially had discussions with Ben about my vision, he knew exactly what it was I needed and understood what direction I wanted to go in. Ben was available to answer any questions I had leading up to the photoshoot.

On the shoot day, Ben was super engaging, offered suggestions and he enabled me to express my thoughts and idea's if something needed to be changed or photographed differently. He was very patient with me.

I would have no hesitation in hiring Ben again for any photography work I have coming up. He is very talented, understands what the brief is and provides so many stunning images to use. The launch of my product will be taken to another level now because of the way it has been brought to life by Ben and his photos. Best investment I have made. Thank you and I look forward to working with you soon.

Ben is absolutely incredible. His photography and care for my business with the imagery was way more than I could have imagined.
Highly recommend him and his team to any business.

As a Real Estate agent, having high quality photos is important when presenting anything digital to the public. Having images that are also ‘real’ and capture genuine emotion though, that’s a whole other story - Ben smashed it out of the park when it came to achieving our goals.
Ben’s attention to the process and ability to exceed our expectations in all aspects, was in my opinion, a 10/10 service and I recommend his services to anyone after an outstanding photographer! Ben’s approach is processional, creative, easy going and sincere.
Thanks Ben for an awesome shoot!

Amanda's style of family photography is relaxed, sentimental and beautiful. She made our photo session a comfortable and fun experience for our family, including 6 month old baby and lively golden retriever. The photos will be treasured.

We love, love, LOVE Amanda. We have used her for our wedding, various family photos, newborn shoots and even a breastfeeding photo shoot. And they are all amazing photos.

I first came across Thorson Photography when we were planning our wedding six years ago. Every time I opened magazines or noticed a beautiful photo online, they were attributed to Amanda - so we booked in to meet her and the rest is history.

Amanda has this incredible talent to capture all the in-between, candid interactions between people, which results in beautiful, authentic representations of her subjects.

She's clearly incredibly talented - and as well as being totally professional, she's also just a truly lovely, down-to-earth person, which makes having your photo taken by her (even if you're camera shy) a really relaxed, unforced, natural and fun experience.

Thanks Amanda for all the beautiful memories you've captured for us. I'm sure there'll be many more to come!

Highly recommend Amanda to photograph your next special event. Amanda photographed our elopement dinner at a small restaurant, and we were thrilled by all the pictures she created.
Amanda was discreet but still managed to capture all the key shots, she was funny and kept our guests at ease, creating great photo opps.
So many gorgeous photos with as a couple, with friends and of our family that we will cherish forever!

After having Amanda photograph our wedding in 2016, we were ready to have her come and shoot our completed family of 5. We loved how at ease we had felt the first time round with her and of course, the quality of the photos that were delivered to us following our Wedding.

With a 4 year old, 2 year old, 1 month old and two parents, there were all sorts of things that could have happened during the shoot at our home, chaos being our first expectation. However, Amanda clearly has plenty of experience and expertise when it comes to photographing families and she managed to keep the kids entertained and had them listening intently to her each direction and invitation. If she weren’t already tied up being a photographer, I’d probably hire her to either a) teach me her ways or b) manage my children!

Beyond the shoot itself, once we received our photos we were blown away. Our shy 2 year old, who tends not to show his true colours in front of strangers, has had his personality so perfectly captured. Each of the photos will be treasured dearly and soon adorn our walls.

We will be returning to Amanda again in the future to have more photos taken as our children continue to grow.

Thank you Amanda for being such an important part of our memory keeping.

We recently had family photos taken with Amanda and we're extremely happy with the pics received (which were received not long after the shoot, as promised). Communication from Thorson was great, never pushy and very honest and helpful. Amanda has a knack for making the shoot feel like a nice day out. The pics reflect the honesty from the shoot and the comfort felt by the whole family (not an easy feat with young kids). I think anyone who is good at what they do make it look easy, and Amanda has this in spades. Thank you for capturing these moments for our family to treasure. We are now looking forward to touching base again shortly for a baby and family shoot, with no hesitations whatsoever :). Thank you Amanda and team!

Emily is a fabulous photographer to work with. She provided lots of advance information about how to get the most out of the session, picked a beautiful location for the shoot, and I feel like she really captured my personality while making me look great in the photos I received from her. She made me feel relaxed and comfortable and that came through in the end product. I am happy to recommend her portrait services to everyone!

Emily was amazing. This was our first couples photoshoot and we are so excited with the results. Emily was so lovely and easy going. It was only 15 mins photoshoot but she put us at ease like we had known her for longer and managed to capture so many beautiful shots. It was very hard trying to choose out favouring photo/s. I would definitely recommend Emily.

Working with Emily was such an easy experience and made the photoshoot a breeze. She is such an open and friendly person who I would recommend to virtually anyone, such high quality photos and amazing direction throughout the whole shoot! Just an overall wonderful experience :)

Words can not describe how amazing Emilyis and how beautiful the photos she creates. We have used Emily twice, wedding and family portraits, her kind and gentle nature makes the experience a breeze (especiallywith kids), her knowledge and skills makes the photos spectacular. Her attention to detail, capturing our natural poses and natural lighting, makes the photos really capture the moment in time.

Highly recommend! Thank you Emily!

I had the most amazing time shooting with Emily; she is so much fun, and I had a blast with her! Emily is so incredibly talented and I am beyond happy with the images! :) - Caitlyn

Steph is absolutely wonderful and extremely accommodating. I wanted photos on a cold crisp day and she was happy to help, even if it meant her hands were frozen. The kids had a great time and were happy taking photos and I can't wait to see them. It is always a great experience working with Steph.

Steph was so amazing! She made us feel so welcome in the space and was so fantastic with our little one. Steph does an amazing job helping capture moments in such beautiful images. We will treasure not only the photographs she has given us, but the experience behind them too.

I have had two shoots with Steph, one was a family shoot and the second was just me and I can not recommend Steph highly enough.
Steph has amazing talent, creativity and overall an amazing person to work with.

What a delightful experience I had with the darling Steph, who is so talented and equally importantly, encouraging, fun and has thought of every little detail to make you feel comfortable in her superbly appointed studio. I will be back for more photos with my family, I’m sure.

Steph, at Little Grasshopper Photography, is absolutely amazing. The thought of a newborn photo shoot can be extremely daunting. The idea of trying to have your baby settled for a certain time seems impossible as your still navigating the challenges of your newborn baby.
I cannot recommend Steph highly enough for making this experience so much better than I had ever imagined. Not only are the photos incredible, but her patience and ability to settle our newborn was over and above.
Cannot thank Steph and Little Grasshopper enough!!! Can't wait to see the outcome of our amazing session💙

Dammika is a spectacular photographer. His photos are truly amazing. He intuitively captures many personal moments. We highly recommend him for your photography needs.

My recent experience with Flashed Photography in our Awards night,Damian has showed his professionalism by capturing all important moments. All pictures are very impressive and he is a kind person and recommend for anyone for any occasion.

Excellent service. Damian is a friendly person to work with who has an artistic eye for taking beautiful photos. Highly recommend.

We engaged Flashed Photography recently for my 70th birthday celebrations. Dammika was very friendly and professional. He captured all important moments of the event perfectly as well as capturing some beautiful candid shots of my family and friends. Photos turned out to be of great quality. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a photographer.

Never seen this type of passion in photography before, fantastic work my Damian and his team. Highly recommended

We recently had a series of family portraits taken by Pete. He handled our three generation group really well, helped the kids to feel comfortable and made the whole experience enjoyable. The portraits looked amazing, especially the set printed on canvas and he took a lot of care installing them for us. We were very happy with the whole process, Pete was professional and approachable and I would highly reccomend Fifth Lane Photography

Pete recently did corporate head shots of our company reps for our website. Pete was very accommodating with time and location.
The response from the reps was how relaxed he made them feel. We have had several corporate photos in the past, but I received comments that he was by far the best. He was engaging, professional, but kept a sense of fun with the shoot.
Highly recommend him for any corporate photos you may require.

Pete did an excellent job taking photos of our new shop - not only was he great to work with but he was obliging, patient and professional. Highly recommended

Special thanks to Pete for all the hard work. Pete organised and communicate with us brilliantly and accommodated our preferences!! Highly recommended Fifth lane.

Pete has been fantastic for our staff photos, having used him twice now. Always on time, excellent quality photos and always makes everyone feel comfortable when shooting. Very happy, highly recommend :)

Tate photographed our wedding back in March 2012. We absolutely loved our wedding photos and enjoyed Tate's company on our big day!! Tate was very professional, well organised, fun and made us feel relaxed when taking our photos! Which made the day all that more fun! I think T8 Photography is very well priced and provide outstanding customer service. I would highly recommend them to anyone in search of a photographer for any occasion!

We used Tate and T8 Photography for our wedding in November 2010.
I remember sitting in my lounge room sometime in September/October 2009 and looking through bunch of professional photographer's pamphlets and thinking to myself: How do I choose my wedding photographer? I started cutting down the ones I was sure I am not going to go with. One of them was T8 Photography pamphlet and I continued on with my selection process. Once I had two piles and was ready to throw out definite NOs , T8 Photography stood out from the pile. I had a closer look at it and at that point was almost sure that T8 Photography will be our wedding photographer. Even to this day I think it was the best decision I made at the time.
We were very particular and picky of what we wanted in our wedding photographer and T8 Photography t ticked all the boxes. Tate showed high level of professionalism in every aspect, from the initial moment we met him to capturing perfect memories of our wedding day. He was friendly , efficient and more than happy to fulfil any single request we had and we had lots of them. :) We liked his photography style as the photos looked both professional and natural, and there was no heavy editing. Our friends and family were fascinated with our wedding photos as much as we were and still are.
Having Tate and T8 Photography as our photographer gave us precious memories of our wedding day which are beautifully presented in our wedding album to show the happiness and love of our wedding day to our children, grandchildren and maybe great-grandchildren. :))))
We had fantastic experience with T8 Photography and would have no hesitation to recommend Tate for anyone who is looking for a professional wedding photographer.
Thank you Tate!!!!

Tate & Michael did a wonderful job photographing our wedding, making it fun and non-stressful. With great packages and prices, friendly staff, and sample photos available within a week, we have recommended T8 to friends who have also been very happy with their wedding photos. Thanks so much Tate, we will always recommend you!

We had a wonderful experience with T8 Photography. We initially chose them to do our photos for our engagement party and found them to be excellent! It was a no-brainer when it came to choosing them for our wedding the following year. We are absolutely thrilled with our pictures from both events. We would highly recommend them to any couple planning a wedding (in particular a big Indian wedding - they definitely know how to capture the colour and the festive mood!). Thanks Tate and the the team at T8!!

Tate photographed our wedding in December 2011. From our first meeting through to the day of the wedding he was efficient, professional and gave excellent advice and suggestions on the best way to do things. Our photo's were amazing and our album was beautifully put together. I recommend T8 Photography.

Melissa from A Shot Above the Rest Photography is absolutely amazing! The incredibly beautiful photos she captured on the day of our wedding are memories that we will treasure forever.

Melissa is professional, kind, unobtrusive, creative, and a photographic genius!

We highly recommend A Shot Above the Rest Photography - you'd be crazy to look any further. If A Shot Above the Rest Photography is not available on the day you want to get married, change the date!

Absolutely love Melissa at A Shot Above The Rest! I first went to her for newborn photos of my daughter after seeing the photos she took of my niece and nephew, now my entire family goes to Melissa! She is so welcoming and kind and really cares for her clients! She is amazing when working with children and she always gets the perfect photo! Her pricing is fair and reasonable for the wonderful job she does.
I can’t recommend her enough!

I have been lucky enough to have Mel capture moments in my, and my families lives for the last 8 years! From the minute we met I could tell she was truly passionate about photography and loved being inspired by other people's interests and visions of their big day

Since then she has captured my growing family at many different milestones; newborns, sitting and standing sessions, our family and extended family shots, Christmas photos. Each time she has made us feel comfortable, taken time to let the kids feel comfortable and taken some incredible photos that I can cherish forever.

I cannot recommend Mel highly enough! Do yourself a favour and let Mel be inspired by your passions and ideas! She will capture your beautiful memories and moments and make it seem effortless.

Melissa was amazing on our wedding day! She went with the flow, taking beautiful photos and capturing all our special moments all while making us laugh and enjoy the day. She was a pleasure to work with from the first introduction, always responded to messages, nothing was too much trouble to ask. Melissa is a true professional and I would highly recommend her to capture your special moments.

I highly recommend A Shot Above the Rest. My husband and I recently got married. We used A Shot Above the Rest and had an amazing experience. I am not one to like being the centre of attention and hate having photographs taken of me. I never know how to pose. Melissa is professional and down to earth. She made the experience comfortable and fun. She had perfect photo scenery suggestions. Melissa also asked what was most important for us to have photographed. We will be using A Shot Above the Rest for any other special event that comes around. Thank you!
