Photographer Sutherland Shire

Sutherland Shire is one of the most versatile areas we service, offering everything from coastal backdrops and national parks to leafy suburban neighbourhoods. It’s the perfect region for families wanting photography that feels personal, natural and location-inspired. We’ve photographed countless sessions across the Shire, from maternity photos on the sand at Cronulla, to newborn sessions in light-filled homes in Caringbah, and playful family sessions in Sutherland’s bush reserves. The Shire’s laid-back pace and diverse locations allow us to capture photos that are beautiful yet effortlessly real. Many families here choose in-home newborn or milestone sessions, where their little ones feel safe and calm. We bring everything needed for a professional shoot, from wraps and props to outfit guidance, so your session is comfortable and well-prepared. The natural light in many Shire homes is perfect for our soft, timeless style. For outdoor sessions, the Shire offers endless options. Coastal areas like Oak Park or quieter stretches of Cronulla Beach are ideal for golden-hour maternity shoots. Parks and reserves in Gymea, Miranda, and Engadine also provide shaded, open spaces for relaxed family sessions where kids can move freely and play. We also welcome Sutherland Shire families to our Ingleburn studio, which is perfect for newborns, babies and cake smashes. The studio is fully equipped and just over an hour away, giving you the option of both indoor and outdoor styles depending on your preference. Families in the Shire often tell us they value not just the final images, but the calm and organised approach we bring to each session. From booking through to gallery delivery, we’re focused on making things simple and enjoyable, so you can focus on being present with your family. If you're in the Sutherland Shire and looking for a photographer who understands the balance between professional quality and a relaxed experience, Elysium Photography is here to deliver both.
