About Elle Mackenzie Photography
Based in Picton NSW, I photograph families through all the little chapters - growing bellies, brand new babies, chaotic toddlers and everything that comes after.. My sessions are relaxed and connection focused, with enough direction that you'll never be left wondering what to do, but plenty of room for your family to just be yourselves.
Photography that feels like you
You don’t need to know how to pose, and your kids definitely don’t need to be on their best behaviour.
My sessions are relaxed and gently guided, with enough direction that you’ll never be left wondering what to do with your hands, but enough freedom for the real stuff to happen too. The cuddles, the chaos, the belly laughs and all those little ways you love each other without even thinking about it.
I’m not looking for everyone to smile perfectly at the camera. I’m looking for connection and all the little in-between moments that actually feel like your family.
Before your session, you’ll also receive my session guide to help with everything from what to wear to what to expect, plus access to my client wardrobe if you need it. All you really need to do is turn up and love on your people.
Your local Picton photographer
Wollondilly has been home for most of my life, and it’s also where I photograph so many of the families you see throughout my work.
Based in Picton, I photograph maternity, newborn and family sessions throughout Wollondilly and the surrounding areas. From open fields and bushland to quiet forest locations and sessions at home with your brand new baby, we’ll choose somewhere that suits both your family and the kind of photographs you want to create.
Outdoor sessions are usually held in the beautiful golden light around sunset, and I have a collection of tried-and-loved locations around the area that photograph beautifully throughout the different seasons.
Not sure where you want your session? You don’t need to be. Tell me a little about your family and the feeling you’re drawn to, and I’ll help you choose the rest.
Meet your photographer
Hi, I'm ElleI’m a Picton local, mum of two little boys, and the photographer behind Elle Mackenzie Photography.
I know how quickly this season of life moves — and how easy it is to keep putting photos off until things feel a little less chaotic. My job is to make sure you’re actually in the frame, exactly as you are right now.
I’m drawn to the real stuff: tiny hands, wild toddler energy, sleepy newborn cuddles and the way your people fit together in this particular chapter of your life.
No perfect families required.
Client love

“Elle made sure we had fun throughout the shoot, and her patience, warmth, and ability to connect with children truly shines through in both the experience and the final images. The photos she captured are absolutely stunning and are memories our family will treasure forever.
If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also makes the whole process easy and enjoyable, Elle is the one. We are so grateful for our beautiful photos and can’t wait to work with her in the future.”
