  • "beautiful, lifelong memories"

    “We’re absolutely blown away with our photos and would highly recommend Alex to anyone looking to capture beautiful, lifelong memories of their family.
    Her patience, professionalism and calming nature made our experience extremely pleasant, given our 3 and 1 year old’s aren’t the easiest customers to work with!
    Thank you again, Alex.”

  • "a brilliant experience"

    “We had a brilliant experience with Al on a recent family beach shoot. I thought it was going to be mission impossible to get just one good photo of our family and she managed to capture at least 50 that I absolutely love. I would highly recommend anyone to use Al to capture some special snaps.”

    — Lydia F, Sydney

  • "very professional, friendly and super patient"

    “We had a family photoshoot at the beach with Al a few weeks ago and she was amazing! Al was very professional, friendly and super patient. My kids were going wild and I didn’t think she would have captured much but she did and the photos turned out absolutely beautiful. I love her artistic side. I strongly recommend Al!”

  • "easy to work with in the lead up to our shoot and post-shoot"

    “Al McTavish was a delight to work with and we loved how our photos turned out. She was so good with our baby and helped my husband and I feel at ease during our shoot. She helped us capture some beautiful memories for our family. Al was really easy to work with in the lead up to our shoot and post-shoot when selecting our final photos. We'll definitely work with Al McTavish Photography again.”

  • "The shots are stunning"

    “Al is amazing! Such a relaxing experience capturing first family photos and the shots are stunning. Highly recommend!”

  • "stunning pictures"

    “Al was excellent. We arranged a family photoshoot with my 2 year old, newborn and dog and my brief was natural and fun. We Spent 1.5 hours with Al and I was worried we wouldn’t get anything good… my 2 year old was not interested and my newborn was very unsettled but Al was such a pro! She coaxed my toddler into pictures and went with the flow and worked around me feeding. The end result was stunning pictures and I have no idea how she did it. I would definitely use her again.”

    — Joanna H, Sydney

  • "sweet, innocent moments"

    “Alex's work is incredible. She captures sweet, innocent moments and makes the whole process incredibly enjoyable. Working quickly to ensure the baby is not over-tired and having fun capturing beautiful images. Al was accommodating and flexible, shooting in our house to make us and our baby comfortable. The galleries we were sent through were beautiful, finely edited (while not being overproduced), showcasing a large selection of different images, and delivered within 48 hrs! Strongly recommend her work and services to anyone looking for beautiful family and baby images - you will not regret it!”
