As a photographer based in North Lakes, I often get asked by local families for the best outdoor locations. Whether you are in Mango Hill or Griffin, we are lucky to have some stunning natural backdrops just minutes away.
Here are my top picks for a timeless family portrait:
1. Danzy Buchanan Park (Mango Hill) This park is a hidden gem for families. With its wide-open green spaces and beautiful wooden walkways, it offers a variety of textures for your photos.
- Photographer’s Tip: The “Golden Hour” (just before sunset) here is magical. The light filters through the trees beautifully, perfect for that soft, warm look.
2. Lakeview Promenade (Mango Hill) If you love a water backdrop, the area around the lake in Mango Hill is unbeatable. The reflections and the well-maintained paths make it ideal for “lifestyle” family shots where the kids can walk and play naturally.
3. Peppercorn Park (Griffin) Griffin has some wonderful, quiet spots, and Peppercorn Park is one of them. It feels very private and peaceful, which helps children feel relaxed during the session. The natural Australian bushland vibe here is perfect for a classic, earthy aesthetic.
Why Choose an Outdoor Session with Sweetlife Studio? With over 10 years of experience and a background in graphic design, I don’t just “take photos.” I look for the perfect composition and light to create art that you’ll want to hang on your wall. Being located in North Lakes, I am just a 5-10 minute drive from these beautiful locations in Mango Hill and Griffin.
