Being a boutique Portrait Studio it isn’t just about the final outcome it is about the experience throughout the process.

1. What makes you tick – We want to get to know everyone we will be photographing, your personalities, relationship and connection. We invite you into the studio and spend time asking you questions and discussing your portrait experience so we get a picture in our mind as to what you want captured and why.
2. The photographic shoot – The real fun begins, we bring out your personalities and interaction and go about capturing all those moments and expressions that you told us that you love.
3. The Design Consultation – This is where you get to see your beautiful images for the first time, we help you work out where you would like to display your artwork and pick a finish to compliment your house and decor.
4. Picking up your Artwork – This is the exciting step, we love seeing people’s faces when they see their personalised artwork for the first time, simply take them home and hang them to enjoy everyday

You don’t get your portrait taken professionally very often so you may as well do it right and invest in someone who can capture the images that you want.
Portrait photography is much more than pretty photos, it is about getting to know you, your style, your personality and capturing that in a series of photos that you will treasure forever. It’s about making people smile, not necessarily when we take their photo but when they look back at the image.

We are always asking our clients to tell us their story, what makes them tick, so what is our story you might ask!

Well Johl (JD) started the company from the living room of a share house (where all good businesses start) back in 2002 then known as JD Digital Photography. From there it has evolved into a one of Melbourne’s Premier boutique portrait studios.

From those humble beginnings to now we have evolved as a business and right now Johl with the help of his beautiful wife Heidi and amazing staff Robyn & Candice are a studio where you can come not just for photos but the full experience. We are fun, upbeat and passionate team that want to help bring a little joy to your life through photographing your most prized possessions – your family.

Before we even click the shutter we find out what makes you tick, what is so special about you and your family and what the moments are or expressions that you want captured to treasure forever. In short we care enough about you to want to find out as much as we can so we can give you the best experience and images possible.

Our aim is for you to leave with amazing personalised artwork to display in your home that lights you up and makes you smile every time you look at it.
