There’s something magical about childhood—the laughter, the curiosity, the wide-eyed wonder. But time moves quickly, and before you know it, those tiny hands and toothy grins are just memories. That’s where kids portrait photography comes in. At Letthe Lightin, we specialise in capturing genuine, joy-filled moments of children in their natural element—whether that’s playing in the park or giggling in our studio.
Whether you're planning a first birthday shoot, updating family portraits, or simply documenting your child's personality as they grow, here's everything you need to know about kids portrait photography in Perth.
Childhood is fleeting, and photos are the closest thing to pausing time. Professionally captured portraits aren’t just about pretty pictures—they’re a celebration of who your child is in this very moment. Whether your little one is quiet and dreamy or full of energy and silliness, a well-captured portrait preserves their uniqueness. These images grow more valuable with time, becoming keepsakes for both parents and children.
There’s no “perfect age” for a portrait session. Every stage of childhood has its charm:
You can document each milestone or choose one age that feels most meaningful to your family.
At Letthe Lightin, we offer both studio-style indoor photography and outdoor kids portraits in Perth. Here's how to decide:
We’ve captured countless family and kids portraits at Bibra Lake, known for its open greenery and pet-friendly vibe, and at Kings Park, a stunning setting with a blend of bushland and city skyline views. These natural backdrops help create timeless portraits with personality.
Clothing can elevate the entire shoot. Here are a few tips:
We’re happy to guide you through outfit coordination during pre-shoot planning.
Not every child loves the camera, and that’s okay. Here’s how we keep things fun:
We believe in gentle direction and play-based posing. Many of our best portraits come from kids just being kids.
Kids don’t need to “say cheese” to shine. We use a storytelling approach—encouraging laughter, movement, and genuine interaction. Whether it’s a secret smile or a loud belly laugh, our goal is to preserve real moments that reflect your child’s spirit.
We keep editing natural and subtle—enhancing colours, adjusting lighting, and removing minor distractions without losing the character of the image. You’ll receive a curated gallery of beautifully retouched portraits that are ready to print or frame.
While we shoot year-round, golden hour (just before sunset) is ideal for warm, flattering light. Spring and autumn provide mild weather and beautiful scenery, while summer sessions near the coast offer glowing backdrops and beachy vibes.
We offer flexible packages tailored for solo kids portraits, sibling shoots, and full family sessions. If you're planning something special, we’re happy to customise a package just for you.
