Thank you to all the schools and centres who continue to choose us, year on year. To all the educators who help us week to week. To all the children we get to play with. And to the parents, who get in touch year round to let us know how much they love the photos we’ve captured. Thank you!

We photographed over 10000 children this year.

We’re just getting started - see you in 2026!

We had an excellent time sponsoring Friday’s Education and Care Awards for the third year now - nice to see some of the people we work with throughout the year winning some categories and receiving recognition for their incredible work!

A big shout out to Baringa Early Learning, Kirinari Early Childhood, MOCCA, YWCA Winyu House, Guardian Allara Street, and our very own Bella Healey, who was nominated as a rising star for her own efforts in the early childhood education sector earlier this year!

Sometimes it is the little things that stay with us the longest. One parent shared that we captured her girls at such a lovely time in their lives and that she now has so many beautiful photos she doesn’t even have enough walls to display them.

It is moments like these that remind us why we do this work. Not just to create images, but to preserve a piece of childhood that families can look back on years from now and feel the joy, the laughter, and the little quirks that make each child unique.

There is something quietly powerful in seeing a family smile over memories you helped capture. That is what makes every photo worth it.

It’s the little interactions you’ll never forget.

Another reason we appreciate when parents register their interest for photos is it allows them to choose if they'd like sibling photos if their children go to the same school/centre. We absolutely love doing sibling photos, and you can see why!

Although we lean towards more playful photos, we don’t shy away from celebrating every side of a child’s personality.

Thoughtful, shy, excited, or silly, each of these moments matter.

By capturing a full range of emotions, we show kids that their whole selves are valued, not just their biggest smiles. These photos become more than keepsakes; they become reminders that every feeling is normal. Want to learn more about how ASP makes photo day different?

At ASP, we believe every child deserves to be seen just as they are. There’s nothing more rewarding than knowing our inclusive approach helps kids feel safe, confident, and genuinely themselves in front of the camera.

Some kids walk up to the camera with a joke.
Others hang back, tuck into their collar, or speak with their eyes.
We love both.
Because at ASP, we don’t expect kids to perform
—we meet them where they are.
By creating a quiet, gentle space where they’re in control, shy kids open up in their own time.
And when they do, the photos are gold.
It’s not about coaxing smiles.
It’s about showing them they don’t have to change to be celebrated.
