Derek and Daneka Photography

We love every single session we have with this beautiful family ❤️

We love photographing this family! It’s always a fun time. Between the rain and a strict time limit (set by the kids 🤪) I think we got some pretty great shots! ❤️

Pregnancy is such a special part of life to photograph! And we loved every minute of this maternity session last weekend with Tahlia and Toby! Congratulations guys! We hope you love your sneak peeks! ❤️

We briefly came out of wedding retirement recently to photograph this wedding because our beautiful niece, Amy, was the bride and we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to capture hers and Benjamin’s special day! How surreal it is to watch your niece get married when it feels like just yesterday that I was picking her up and dancing around the lounge room to Taylor Swift music. Congratulations guys, we are so happy for you both ❤️

We always appreciate when clients tell us to bring our kids along to their sessions if we need to. We almost always decline and find a sitter and this session cemented the reasons why haha. Lucky for us, Ryan is Derek’s oldest friend, so all was forgiven.… and despite the distractions, we managed to get some beautiful pictures of Ryan and Gill and their beautiful family!

We loved catching up with Toni and her beautiful family last weekend! Perfect weather + perfect location + perfect subjects with perfect outfits choices = perfect family photos ❤️

We were so excited to be able to photograph this beautiful family last weekend! Joel was a big part our lives before we were even Derek and Daneka (the couple). Then life happened and all the sudden it’s been 8 years since the last time we caught up! It was such a special afternoon catching up with both Joel and Jess, meeting their 2 gorgeous little boys and snapping some special family memories for them!

We have had the pleasure of photographing some of the members of this family over the years, so when we were asked to photograph them all on their family farm, we we were thrilled! We always have the most wonderful time photographing them and this session was no different!

It’s always a great time photographing this family :) Hope you enjoy your sneak peek guys!

Our beautiful niece is having a baby. So this maternity session was extra special! This little girl is so loved already and we can’t wait to meet her!

We had such a great time photographing this beautiful extended family session over the weekend!

A sneak peek of a stunning family photoshoot we did on Saturday! We couldn’t have asked for more perfect weather! We loved every minute of this session! ❤️

We had such a lovely time photographing this family on Sunday! How adorable is little Henry! Such a chill boy!

3 years ago we photographed this sweet little family when Charlie was a newborn! Over the weekend we had the pleasure of photographing them again with their newest little family member 🥰

We recently spent a wonderful afternoon with this beautiful family. After a series of unfortunate events- this photoshoot was postponed multiples times. We also ended up having to drag our own kids along so we didn’t have to postpone again. We had our work cut out for us that day haha. These results made it all worth it ❤️

Family photos should be fun and these guys completely understood the assignment. We had a blast from beginning to end. I’m so glad we were able to capture this family just having a good time together. Everyone needs to get their teenage and adult children together for family photos because it’s so worth the effort.

This is just a reminder to let your kids be whoever they want to be in your family photos because usually those are the moments that make the best memories. These girls had us giggling during their entire photoshoot. So much personality in such a short amount of time 😁

Just when we thought these guys couldn’t get any sweeter, they go and welcome another beautiful little man into their family. Congratulations guys. Ati is adorable. I can’t get enough of those chubby little cheeks 😍

We met this beautiful family over the weekend! So many perfect moments were captured. I wish I could share them all but here are a few of my favourites ☺️

We recently had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful family of 3 (almost 4). It was the perfect afternoon!
We can’t wait to meet the newest little member of their family! ❤️

We love photographing this beautiful family! This session didn’t come without it’s challenges (more mosquitoes than I have ever seen in my life) but we absolutely love the moments we captured! I could share many many more- but here is just a snippet of our afternoon with them and their adorable new addition, Henry 😍

We felt so privileged to be apart of Jason and Mel’s big day! And boy was it an amazing day! The whole day from beginning to end was perfect! Congratulations Mr and Mrs Berry! Hope you enjoy your sneak peeks! ❤️

The Shum Family. One of the nicest bunch of people you will ever meet. We had the best afternoon with them recently and these are some of our favourite moments❤️

I have been dying to share some sneak peeks of our session with the Alchin family! These 3 kids made our job so incredibly easy, fun and hilarious! They came up with all the poses and we could have kept photographing them for hours! There was just not enough daylight for all their ideas! We had the best time with them and they had us in stitches all afternoon! Thanks guys! ❤️

As I work through this years Steggall family photo session I thought I would share a handful of my favourite images! We love this family and we love photographing them every year!
