Beautiful Portraits for Your Home’s Walls – A Session with the Naylor Family at North Lakes
Some moments deserve more than just a place in your camera roll—they deserve a place on your wall. The kind of portraits that stop time for a second. That catch your breath as you walk past them in your hallway. That say, this is us.
For the Naylor family, their session at our dreamy North Lakes location wasn’t just about getting a few good photos—it was about creating something lasting. A collection of images that captured the connection they share, the joy in their everyday, and the love that defines their family.
A Setting That Speaks Softly
North Lakes has long been one of our most cherished session spots. It’s a location that doesn’t try too hard—it just is. Gentle, golden, open. There’s something about the way the light slips through the trees and kisses the grass that feels like it was made for family photography.
As a Brisbane-based photographer, I’ve fallen in love with how this location supports the emotion of a shoot. It never distracts. Instead, it frames those moments of laughter, closeness, and pause in the most natural way. With the Naylor family, it gave us exactly the kind of space we needed—room to breathe, to move, to just be.
Natural, Intentional Styling
Great family portraits begin long before the camera comes out. For the Naylors, we styled the session together to ensure everything felt cohesive yet effortless. Our approach to wardrobe is always rooted in softness—natural fibers, warm neutrals, and tones that complement the environment.
Mum wore a flowing oatmeal dress that moved beautifully with the breeze. Dad kept it relaxed with soft earth tones and rolled sleeves. Their children were styled in timeless pieces that didn’t overwhelm—just classic silhouettes with a modern edge. The result? A family that felt completely themselves, only elevated.
The Magic of Movement and Emotion
We believe the best portraits come not from posing, but from presence. From the way a child leans into their parent. From stolen glances and quiet embraces. From moments of movement that feel like life unfolding in real time.
During the Naylor session, we let the little ones lead. We encouraged play, explored the landscape, and paused only when it felt right. Some of our favorite images were the unplanned ones: a giggle mid-run, a hand reaching for Dad’s, a shared secret between siblings that resulted in the kind of smile you can’t stage.
This is what we aim for with every Brisbane family we photograph—moments that are felt, not fabricated.
Gallery-Worthy Memories
When a session is wrapped, the real beauty begins: curating the images that will tell your story. We guide each family through selecting the photographs that belong not just in digital albums, but in real-life spaces—above your mantel, beside your dining table, lining your hallway.
With the Naylor family, it was easy. Their gallery was filled with warmth, light, and genuine connection. The kind of images you want to see every day. The kind of photographs that make your house feel even more like home.
More Than a Moment
Time passes quickly. What feels like a long afternoon at the park soon becomes a memory. Children grow, routines shift, and the little details change. But photographs? They stay. They remind us of who we were, what we held dear, and how it felt to love each other in this season of life.
That’s why we do what we do at Lavender Lane Photography. Why we’re proud to serve families across Brisbane, helping them preserve the beauty of their everyday through timeless, heart-centered imagery.
