About.
TRACY LYNCH.
Photography for me is capturing that special moment in time, the early smiles, birthdays, going to preschool or school, the glow of impending motherhood, the look of wonder exchanged between parent and child. Celebrating the essence of children, the way they look at the world.
I am the mother of two beautiful children, who are my greatest inspiration and joy. I know how quickly they grow and change, and understand the need to capture the little moments as well as the milestones – and to portray those moments naturally with an element of fun that can relax even the most apprehensive of children.
I pride myself on being friendly, down-to-earth and approachable. It is important for me to personalise my business and build relationships with my clients and my community.
My aim is to help you celebrate every stage of your life with natural photography that reflects and fits your style, your family and the way you live. My style is honest and fun, celebrating life, love and family.
I want my images to tug at your heart to create timeless portraits that show your child’s individuality in an honest and comforting way. I want my pictures to warm your soul in difficult times. I want to help you capture the wonderful moments that we all take for granted.

Pre-School and Playgroup.
In order to get the best from a photographic service, parents need the flexibility of capturing those early childhood moments in an affordable and user friendly way.
My Pre-School Packages ensure that parents can own the images of their children. This allows them to distribute or process images for family and friends.
The workload of staff is drastically reduced as they are not involved in the distribution and collection of photos or money.
Pre-School families can choose from several package options
01. The Digital File Package.
$60 per child. Package includes 8 digital files comprising of 7 ‘at play’ photos of your child PLUS a group photo.
02. The 5×7″ Album Package.
$70 per child. Package includes 8 prints in a personalised 5×7 inch Photo Album – 7 ‘at play’ photos of your child PLUS a group photo.
03. 5×7″ Album and Digital File Package.
$75 per child. Package includes 8 prints within a personalised 5×7 inch Photo Album PLUS the digital files for the purchased images – 7 ‘at play’ photos of your child PLUS a group photo.
Additional images can be purchased for all three package options at a cost of $5 each.
Note: Option 1 – digital image only; Option 2 – 5×7 inch print only; Option 3 – digital file and 5×7 inch print included in album.
04. Individual 5×7″ Photo Prints
$10 each – Can be added to any package.

HEATHER
“Thank you for being the first person to take beautiful and natural photos of Spencer. I cried when I saw them, as no one had managed to capture him that way. Although he’d never met you, you managed to engage him and make him feel comfortable from the start. We treasure the photos you took, and have been delighted to share them with our family. Thank you so much Tracy x”
KAREN
“Chloe can sometimes be shy when it comes to having her photo taken, but Tracy was fantastic and made her feel comfortable and I think that really shows in these beautiful pictures.”
LEANNE
“Tracy has photographed our daughter on several occasions in both formal and informal settings. We have been impressed by her ability to make the session fun to produce some excellent photos. Tracy will definitely be taking our next set of family photos and portraits.”
KATIE
“I recently had my son’s kinder photos taken by Tracy and I couldn’t be happier with them. She really captured my son’s energy in a natural light rather than posed unnatural shots. I love the shots and would definitely recommend her work to others.”

FAQs.
Newborns: Sleepy newborn photographs are so precious. The best time for this style is before 12 days old. This ensures I can capture those cosy, sleepy moments.
Babies: It’s never too early to book! I recommend planning your sessions around the following milestones:
12-13 weeks – Capturing those gorgeous smiles and personalities
6 months – Sitting, smiling, and starting to express their personality.
9 months – Look out, they’re on the move! Crawling, rolling and oodles of giggles.
10-11 months – If you wish to use the photos for their 1st birthday invite. Maybe try a Cake smash for a bit of fun!
12 months – Growing up…Standing, or even taking their first steps.
Children and family: Any age is perfect! I love photographing children, they are hilarious and live for fun. It is such a rewarding and exhausting age… Families often pick a date close to an anniversary, birthday or holiday date. But, anytime that suits the needs of your family is perfect.
I believe you should own your images and therefore your investment includes a download of all your images! And I don’t charge session fees!
Newborns – $360 (10-15 images) includes mum, dad, bubs and siblings!
Maternity – $180 (10-15 images) includes children and partner.

Special occasions, Sporting events, Presentations or Concerts – please contact me to discuss your requirements
Full shoot sessions lasts between 45 min to 1 hour, Mini Shoot sessions (Studio or outdoor location) which last approximately 20 minutes. Newborn sessions can last up to 3 hours to allow for feeding and settling. Your session will never be rushed!
It really depends on the type of images you would like and what suits your family!
Choosing a location that is special to your family is of course a great way to personalise your images. I can also recommend many beautiful locations if you need ideas.
Newborn portraits may be captured in my warm and cosy home studio or in the comfort of your own home.
Simple clothing will give your portraits a timeless feel and keep the focus on your child’s face. Some things to avoid when selecting clothing for your session are bold stripes, obvious patterns and large logos of any kind. When photographing more than one person, I recommend keeping the clothing similar or complementary in colour, tone and style. If there is a special outfit you would like to bring along please do.
If the conditions are impractical for shooting, I will call you ASAP in the morning of the shoot to postpone to another day, or if you would prefer to arrange a studio session.
If for whatever reason you can’t make it, I ask that you call my mobile AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, I can then reschedule another date and time.
Small marks and scratches can be removed in the digital preparation for printing. Most retouching is included in the price of the image but more extensive retouching work may incur an additional charge. If you are concerned about any marks, rashes, etc. please consult with me prior to the shoot.
