OPTION 1
Festive Photos that Double as a Family Photoshoot
If you’re looking for a festive scene that makes your family the focus of the photo – rather than Saint Nick – then you’ll love Natural Lights Photography’s set-up at Catherine Hill Bay. The natural environment here provides a magical “Australian Winter Wonderland”-style landscape and the team’s beautiful understated festive styling keeps the focus of the image on your family and tots, so that you end up with stunning images that really capture their cheeky grins and chubby cheeks. We know of many families who make an annual trip to Catherine Hill Bay to get their festive snaps taken, as the images are a stunning way to show off your growing family over the years.
The other aspect we love about this option is the time that you get. Talented Natural Lights owner/photographer Danielle spends 30 minutes with every family to ensure she captures some beautiful, real and honest moments in this gorgeous setting! The end result is a series of stunning snaps you’ll want to frame and hang on your wall.
Cost: This is a 30-minute on-location photoshoot. The package includes 7 digitally downloadable images and 3 matted gift 5×7 images – all within a password-protected gallery. $249
Dogs are welcome too!
Location: Catherine Hill Bay.
When: Every Saturday and Sunday from 14 October until 17 December 2023! Bookings essential.

Santa Photos at Tocal Homestead with Natural Lights Photography
The historic Tocal Homestead and surrounding grounds is a stunning wedding venue, but for a few months each year, Santa arrives to take photos with Natural Lights Photography.

Cost and who: $65. Each family of up to 5 members per session can spend up to 5 minutes with Santa. (If you would like more than 5 family members to attend, or would like more time with Santa, please book multiple tickets).
The package includes 5 digitally downloadable images – all within a password-protected gallery. You can of course purchase more images, prints and wall art if you wish.
Sensitive Santa sessions and pet sessions are also available.
Location: Tocal Homestead, 957 Tocal Road, Paterson.

Santa Photos at Morpeth Commons with Natural Lights Photography
Ray Lawler Reserve, commonly referred to as Morpeth Common, is a beautiful park in historic Morpeth and makes a gorgeous backdrop for Natural Lights Photography’s Santa snaps.
This lovely parkland has a small pond, a shaded playground and lots of picnic tables, so we recommend you bring a picnic rug and basket of food and make a beautiful day of it. After all, when you’ve made the effort to get the family out of the house, you want to make the most of it.
Cost and who: $65. Each family of up to 5 members per session can spend up to 5 minutes with Santa. (If you would like more than 5 family members to attend, or would like more time with Santa, please book multiple tickets).
