I am SO excited you are here, really thinking about taking your family/ couples photos to the next level!
I bet your phone has a thousands of selfies and photos of your kids, but how many of those are you in it? and how many can you hang on the walls at home?

- Your favourite family activity

1. lets be friends!
2. pre-shoot session
Unless you're 100% extroverted, or a natural in front of the camera, it is super awkward to have photos taken by a stranger you've never even met before. So, come to my home studio and we will try on the dresses, have a cuppa together and take a look at the print products I offer.
3. styling & prepping
- a prep & style guide that covers everything to help you & your family prepare well for your session.
- I can be your personal stylist and help you pick the right outfits for your session through a videocall consult- I can even come shopping with you if you'd like!
- A short questionnaire to help get to know you and your family better before our photoshoot, and tailor the whole experience to you.
4. your session
- Leading up to the day I will frequently check in with you to see if I can be of any assistance to you.
- On the day of photoshoot, we will start the day with my hair and makeup artist coming to your home or meeting you at the studio.
- During our session, I will give you plenty of guidance on how to pose for beautiful interactive shots. Zero experience needed.
5. reveal session
- You will be personally invited to view the photos on a private online gallery or come to my home studio to pick the photographs you wish to print & purchase.
- If you'd prefer, I can come to yours if you live nearby, so we can have a planning session on how we will display the artwork in your home. Its those wall art that will WOW your guests when they come for dinner parties!

Thank you Isabelle for taking the most beautiful family photos for us! You were absolutely amazing and patient with making sure all three of my children were comfortable and happy the whole time. The photos turned out even better than I could have imagined! These will be hanging in our hallway for many years to come. I would highly recommend Hikari Lifestyle Photography to anyone considering getting some photos done!" - The Lloyd-Morgan Family
Few days back we had the chance to have a family photoshoot with Izzy - beautiful girl inside and out. I have no words to describe how wonderful the whole experience was. She is just an amazing, talented, kind, warm person. I just love her photography style - very warm, fairy-like, pleasant. Having a family photoshoot for our little family of 3 was a dream come true. Just wanted to thank you beautiful Izzy for this. Our photos turned out to be magical. I highly recommend Hikari Lifestyle Photography and also looking forward to another photoshoot with my extended family!

"Issy made two very awkward adults and a fussy 3 month old look absolutely stunning despite the mud and rain while at the Kalbar Sunflower Festival. She made us feel very comfortable and gave great directions while shooting. Our short time together was a terrific experience, you wouldn't even pick that we were battling the cold, rain and crying baby! I usually dislike photos taken of me, but I am so in love with each and every picture we received. I couldn't recommend a photographer more. A master at her craft." - Eva
"Isabelle did both our maternity photos and newborn family photos and provided us with beautiful photos which we will always cherish. She made the whole experience easily and effortless, which is exactly what you want when you are pregnant/have a newborn. From posing to bringing everything to our home including a maternity dress for me to wear and a coffee to help us look alive! As an added bonus Isabelle was not only great with our baby, she was amazing with our dog and got very cute photos of her as well. I think our dog wanted to go home with her! I would highly recommend Isabelle for any family and maternity photos and to capture those special moments." -- Tiarnah
"Cannot recommend Izzy and Yoshi more! They made our 17m old feel like an absolute superstar and focussed on keeping it fun and relaxed so she was comfortable and happy. They didn't even care when she started to have toddler tantrums and just gave her some space to have her feelings. The photos were beyond stunning and all our family cannot wait for us to print them copies. So glad to have found such amazing family photographer and can't wait for our next family photoshoot with our twins as a family of 5." -- Jacqui
"We met Isabelle at the pier and right away felt relaxed because she had set up a little area for us, brought 2 maternity dresses from her client closet and was ready to go. she was so patient when our baby was getting upset and didn't rush us, allow us time to parent. We were so comfortable around her. Within a few days we already had some sneak peek photos sent through and not long after we had the full gallery and they were so beautiful. I can't wait to have them on display in our home. The colours are so soft and perfect. The online platform that they are sent through with is so so easy to download the photos from and you can pick which ones to print. Really easy to use. Thank you Isabelle for capturing these perfect little memories for us." -- Rileigh
"We were absolutely blown away by our maternity shoot photos. Thank you so much Isabelle for capturing this special time in our lives so perfectly. Your direction and skill behind the camera was amazing, you made us feel confident and the results were beautiful. You really are talented, and we could see how much you love what you do! We can't wait for our newborn shoot!!" -- Mel & Onur
"When I contacted Izzy I was just after a few pre-formal photos of my daughter with family. What Izzy provided was unbelievably stunning and far beyond what I was expecting. And I am not just talking about the photos, I mean the whole experience from first contact to receiving the pictures. Izzy was completely professional, prompt in her communication, went over and above to accommodate (her style guide is amazing!) and was just a pleasure all round to deal with. Her photos speak for just how amazingly talented she is. She will be my first and only choice for family pics from now on." -- The Sheck Family
