Kara perfectly captured my baby boy’s personality during our portrait and paint smash session. We felt really comfortable and the photos turned out exactly how I was hoping (actually.. better!).
We were shown our photos within days of the session and being able to view and choose them online was so easy and efficient!
Thank you Kara, I’m so happy with the results!

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was an absolute joy capturing your little man’s personality during his portrait and paint splash session. I’m so glad that the photos turned out even better than you hoped!

Kara did such a good job with the newborn photos and was so patient with my 2.5yr old during the shoot! She had some great props to get him smiling during the shoot and had activities ready for him when he needed a break from taking photos! The turn around for reviewing the photos was so quick and her communication was excellent throughout the whole process as well and we love the photos so much!

Kara did such an amazing job with our newborn shoot, taking her time and making us all feel comfortable and happy during the shoot, as well as including my bigger kids as well! The final images were amazing, we couldn’t be happier. I can’t recommend Kara enough!

Kara at memories by Menzies did the most beautiful photos of our newborn. From the booking process to the finished products we were supported and never left with question. Being first time parents we had no idea what to expect. When we booked Kara have us a call and explained her process and options for packages – not that we had to decide until after we saw the photos but we knew upfront what different packages or single products cost. Once bubs arrived we emailed Kara to book our date and she was flexible with her time to suit our family. Once at Kara’s on the day of photos she had EVERYTHING: the heat was on so baby was always warm, she had a change table and bottle warmer, wipes in case as new parents we forgot or ran out of there was more nappies than expected. We felt so comfortable because the care she showed moving and wrapping and positioning our new baby was more than we ever expected but were so grateful for. Then came the viewing which we did online, we were showed ALL of the images Kara had taken and she helped us narrow them down to the number of images we were aiming for and what we wanted to spend. Picking the photos was difficult because they were all perfect. We stayed on budget and were able to ask for small changes or fixes to the photos. Then the pics we chose were edited and returned to us in batches as we made payments via our payment plan. We and our extended family adore the photos and am so glad we found Kara! Thank you again ❤️

I came across Memories by Menzies through social media and was thrilled Kara was so close to home!
I had my session with Kara in December and was soooo pleased with my experience. My little man made us both work for some smiles but Kara was so patient (even allowing us to come back for a second session to get the perfect pictures!!) and had many tricks up her sleeve to keep him entertained and engaged throughout the session! As a busy mum we don’t get many photos of ourselves with our children, therefore I am so incredibly grateful for the pictures Kara captured for me! Thankyou so much, we will definitely be back! <3

Anita
We booked a photoshoot with Kara for our 5-month old baby as well as a combined shoot with her baby cousin and older cousin. It can be exhausting for mothers getting ready for photos but there was no stress at the shoot because Kara works so well with babies. She helped get them dressed, guided us with poses and created a lovely and energetic atmosphere. There was no stress for me as a mum! She asked us what we wanted in terms of colour scheme and look, but I was happy to let her make decisions as I trusted her judgement. We love our photos and it was so much fun capturing some great moments and expressions. Great memories made with lots of laughter. We look forward to booking again in the near future.

Kara was so kind, caring and professional, we are absolutely wrapped with our final images we cannot fault any of them! Kara made sure to check in with us to make sure we were happy with photos throughout the session, she also was very patient with us when we went through the final images to make our selections. We are grateful to have these beautiful images to cherish of our girl as a new-born forever! We cannot recommend Memories by Menzies enough, amazing!!!

So incredibly happy with our newborn photos taken by Kara, amazing quality and so so many to choose from. Kara was so patient with our 12 day old baby who really did not want to be photographed, Kara persisted through 2 hours of crying to create some amazing photos in the end. So happy and cannot wait to receive our prints! Will definitely be recommending Kara to all our friends and family.

Each experience we’ve had at Kara’s studio has been wonderful! Not only is Kara incredibly talented, kind and patient but she has gone above and beyond to ensure my happiness with the images she has taken. Kara not only makes the effort to include my children but has gone that extra mile to connect and engage with them. Kara Runs her business with such professionalism and passion that we look forward to continuing to go to her for all our future family sessions, and highly recommend her to others. Thank you so much Kara!

Raeleigh Hoenig
Cannot speak highly enough of our experience and photos! Kara was so incredibly beautiful with both our boys, she had lots of things to entertain our big boy and was so good with our little boy. Her ability to focus on getting some stunning pictures of our newborn while still engaging with our big boy was so inspiring. I am so in love with our images, the quality and creativity is just stunning. I cannot thank her enough for waiting for our newborn to be up to coming in for our shoot, for making our experience a comfortable and memorable one and for the just simply stunning images. We will definitely be using Kara again when the need for future pictures arises!!
