    G'day! I'm Jay.

    I’m a family portrait photographer based in the beautiful Sutherland Shire in Sydney.

    I’m committed to making sure your family’s unique story is told through beautiful, hand-crafted artwork. My approach is all about getting to know you and your family so I can create portraits that truly reflect who you are.

    With over 18 years under my belt as a full-time photographer, I spent 12 years photographing weddings before founding Delight Images in 2020.

    Being a dad of three gorgeous girls has shown me how precious family photos are, and I’m passionate about capturing those real, raw moments that families can cherish forever.

    When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me at home with my family, soaking up those everyday moments (and sneaking in a scotch and Game of Thrones ep when I can!).

    If you’re after a photographer who gets you and your “why,” I think we’ll get along famously!

    The Vows

    I believe in capturing real moments — tender cuddles, squishy details and real love. To make this experience amazing for both of us, here are a few simple commitments (aka The Vows):
    📸 I'm happy for my images to be shared on Delight Images' socials and website.*
    💛 I understand that if selected, I'll have the opportunity to purchase additional photos*
    I offer stunning, hand-made artwork like canvases and framed prints—because your memories deserve to live beyond a screen. These start from $580, and there is no obligation or pressure to purchase extra photos (though most people love them and want them all!)
    💰 A $100 deposit secures my spot and goes straight toward my order.*
    This ensures we lock in the date and make magic happen.
    🌅 I’m available for a daytime session (Monday–Friday) and can travel to Sutherland.*
    I know, phone calls can feel old-school, but a quick chat helps create an incredible photo experience. Let me know the best time to reach you:
    📷 I don’t already have a family photo shoot booked elsewhere.*
    By submitting this application, I agree to the terms and conditions outlined, and that all information provided in this application is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge. I understand that, if my family is selected as a model family, I am required to pay a $100 date holding fee, which will be applied as a credit towards the purchase of a collection. I understand that the $100 date holding fee is non-refundable in the event that I cancel or fail to attend the session. The design consultation will take within 1-2 weeks of the photoshoot. I understand that selection is subject to an application process and availability of dates. I acknowledge that there is a possibility that I may not be selected to participate in the photoshoot. However, if selected, I agree to schedule my photo shoot to take place before 31 January 2025. Should the weather not be suitable I understand the session will be rescheduled. I also agree to sign a model release, allowing Delight Images to share the images for advertising and social media purposes. If I change my decision to decline posting images online I understand that the $100 will not be credited and bonus perks will be revoked and I will pay full pricing. By submitting this application, I fully acknowledge and agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.

    I used to think photos like these were a waste until I became a mum and realised I take a lot of the photos of my family and i'm not in them. Now I am and they are so worth it!

    Loved our session with Jay, he made us feel so relaxed and welcome. He was a pro at handling our 1 week year old baby and was very patient with us being new parents. Our photos are beautiful and will be a treasured memory forever

    Questions?

    Your photo shoot will take place in my modern, private, air conditioned studio in Sutherland (about 40 minutes south of Sydney CBD).

    To save you another trip down, your design consultation will take place at the same time, where you’ll enjoy your photos on the big screen and I’ll guide you through choosing and ordering your favourites.

    Digital files are not included (collections start from $880). You will receive one 8×12″ fine-art print of your choice from the session and $100 to spend towards your artwork order.

    Matching digital files are included with any artwork you choose to purchase.

    You will have the opportunity to purchase additional photographs at your design consultation after your photo shoot.

    I offer beautiful hand-made prints, canvases, albums and desktop art, starting from $580. Families typically choose to invest $1500-2000 in their artwork though there is no minimum spend and no obligation to purchase.

    I focus on capturing the love and connection between you and your baby—not just solo portraits. These early moments as a family are priceless, and I want to help you preserve them, so all newborn shoots include parents and siblings in the experience.
