One of the things I love most about photographing the family at Christmas time, is knowing that these photographs become part of your family's story.
The children grow.
The family changes.
And somehow, another Christmas arrives before you know it.

"We had our Christmas Photos taken with Natalie, and they are absolutely stunning. We have had so many compliments from family, friends and strangers and are just over the moon with how the turned out! Natalie’s calm nature, and beautiful personality made the experience so easy. Highly recommend Natalie Grounds Photography". DANA

"Natalie was amazing shooting our last minute Christmas session, catering to all of the family with different shots to suit everyone. She has the most beautiful women’s and girls Christmas dresses to wear for the shoot! So very happy with our photos!
Definitely recommend a session with Natalie for some great Christmas photo memories. (Also have to mention how great her son was helping out getting my children to smile for the photos!) "FELICITY

Family Portrait Photography at Port Stephens: The Dunning Family at Zenith Beach

When the Dunning family reached out for a family portrait session, we knew we were in for a fabulous shoot. It all started with the idea of capturing their family in the Sutherland Shire, Fiona and her family re-located to Newcastle, so our location changed to the stunning coastal beauty of Port Stephens, and we couldn’t have asked for a better setting than Zenith Beach. We started at Shoal Bay, as the wind was playing a bit of a game with us. After a short while, we made our way to Zenith Beach, where the blue and pink hues of a Eastern view of the sunset began to set the perfect mood for their portrait session. The kids were all smiles, playing in the sand and rocks, making the best of the breezy conditions.

It’s always special when I get to work with families I’ve known for a while, and Fiona and her kids are no exception. A few years ago, I met Fiona at swimming lessons, where our children were in the same class. We’ve talked about doing a family shoot for ages, we finally made it happen. It was so rewarding to capture their connection, especially on such a stunning beach as Zenith.

As the sun dipped lower behind the hills, the magic truly began. The light, the ocean breeze, and the fun energy of the kids made for some unforgettable moments. As a little bonus, I filmed some short clips throughout the session to create a moving pictures film, giving them a keepsake that’s more than just photos—it’s a piece of their story in motion.

We wrapped up the shoot as dusk settled, with a collection of beautiful family portraits that I know will be cherished for years to come. Capturing families like the Dunnings at iconic spots in Port Stephens makes my job feel like a dream. It’s moments like this that remind me why I love being a family portrait photographer.

If you’re looking for a family photographer in Port Stephens who can capture your family in a relaxed, natural way, I’d love to hear from you! Let’s create something special.

Past clients: I was hoping you could help me out. I have just listed my business with a new photographer search platforms and as you would know, many people rely on reviews to choose their next photographer.
I am hoping you could spare a few mins to jump in and leave a review.
I thank you so much in advance. It will help me immensely in competing in an over populated market.

This message is for my photographer friends.
A few years ago, I put together Mastery Members. An education platform for maternity, newborn and family photography focusing on posing and marketing in photography, along with a bit of videography.
With Covid business battles, I had to close the program. But I certainly did not want what our educators bought to you to die.
I am pleased to let you know that selected videos are now available in the PPBN
If you’re not already a member, it’s a great time to join.

This was a little bit of fun.
