INSPIRATION
LIES WITHIN
Hey Welcome!
I’m the photographer behind FI Photography and a Melbourne dad who understands how quickly family life changes.
I’ve been photographing people since 2010, but becoming a parent changed what I notice through the camera. It made me pay closer attention to the details that are easy to overlook while you’re living them: the small hand reaching for yours, the toddler who never stops moving, the way siblings make each other laugh and the quiet comfort children find in their parents.
My family sessions are relaxed, gently guided and designed around real interaction. Your children do not need to sit still or smile on command. You do not need to know how to pose. I create enough direction to help everyone feel comfortable, then leave space for your family’s personality to come through.
The aim is not to make your family look perfect. It is to create photographs that feel honest, personal and unmistakably yours.
Get in touch and let’s make something beautiful together.
The photographs families treasure most are rarely about perfect smiles. They are about recognising the people they love exactly as they were.
FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY
Family is where my heart is.
FI Photography sessions are created for babies, toddlers, young children and parents who want genuine photographs without a formal studio experience.
Children are free to move, explore, cuddle, laugh and take time to settle. I provide calm direction without expecting them to perform. A toddler wandering away or a child becoming fascinated by the world around them is not a problem—it is often where the most personal photographs begin.
Sessions take place at one carefully chosen Melbourne location, including beaches, parklands, woodland settings and other open spaces where families can feel comfortable together. Come as you are. I’ll help with the rest.
The Wedding Collection
Wedding photography for couples who want to be present in their day rather than spend it performing for the camera.
Michael photographs the people, movement and emotion that make each celebration personal—the conversations before the ceremony, the reactions that happen without warning and the people who matter most.
Direction is available whenever you need it, but the story remains natural. The result is a considered gallery that reflects how your wedding genuinely felt.
It would be an absolute honour if I can be your wedding storyteller.
LOVING WORDS
I just want to take the time to write a review for this fantastic photographer who went above and beyond for our family photos.
This is the second time I am using Michael for my family photos. Michael is not only a very talented photographer, but he is a great person to deal with making our experience so much memorable. He is such a creative person with photos that we could never imagine. I cannot speak more highly of Michael and would recommend him to all my family and friends. Well done again Michael for making our family photos so much more than we could have expected.

LET'S PRESERVE THIS SEASON OF YOUR FAMILY
There will always be a reason to wait.
Life is busy. Children are unpredictable. Someone needs a haircut. The weather keeps changing.
But the family you plan to photograph later will not be exactly the same family you have today.
Tell me a little about your family, the ages of your children and what you would love to remember about this season. I’ll guide you through the next step.
