Southern Forests Family Session at Karri Lake, Quinninup

Quinninup southern forests family photographer

Nicole and Jai got married at Eco Beach Resort south of Broome back in 2018 and I was lucky enough to have been their photographer on the day. You can check out their super relaxed beach wedding here. 

Fast forward a few years, they welcomed little Rudy into their lives. When they found out that I spend the summers in the Southern Forests region, they decided to book a little family session with me amongst the majestic trees. This enchanting and quaint part of Western Australia encompasses some of the most beautiful natural landscapes and charming small towns in the entire South West region with a number of cute Airbnb’s to stay at including The Woodsman, The Bushmans and Millars by the Lake. When I suggested to Nic and Jai to start their photo session at The Woodsman, where they were staying for the weekend, they loved the idea. In the afternoon we continued the shoot down at the beautiful Karri Lake in Quinninup. 

I am based in Quinninup every year from November to April so if you’re interested in a family session or are planning a wedding or elopement in this beautiful part of WA feel free to get in touch.
