Portraits you'll love,
of those you love.
Big, small, furry or chosen.

Perth family, newborn and pet photography celebrating the people and dogs who make up your world.

Based in Myaree, we photograph families and pets across Perth, from the coast to the hills.

Your family won’t look like this forever. One minute they’re tiny enough to sleep on your chest, or a puppy who won’t leave your side. The next, they’re over holding your hand in public, moving out of home or grey around the muzzle.

At Lilypad, we give you something to hold onto forever.

Real photos of your family, wiggly kids, cheeky dogs, the lot, that make you smile, laugh and maybe even shed a happy tear.

Photos you’ll still love in twenty years, not just this one.

"I was a bit worried we would feel awkward and wouldn’t get any natural looking shots, you put us all at ease and had some great tricks up your sleeve with the kids! Now we have some beautiful photos to pass on to our family and children..... and for once all four of us are in the picture!!!"

Not only are Lisa, Maegan and Susan so lovely, but they’re really amazing at what they do. We have shared every milestone since growing our family with the team and we are very glad for it!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve worked with Lisa three times now, one session with us at Pawsome Doggy Daycare and then twice with our own personal dogs. Every experience has been amazing! She is so good at working with the dogs and capturing their personalities and the dogs love her. Not to mention the incredible photos she was able to get! Thank you Lisa 💗

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you to Lilypad Photography for capturing such special moments in our family’s life. Our first experience was in 2008 when my daughter was just one year old, then again in 2010 as our family grew, and most recently in 2025, just before my daughter became an adult.
Each session has beautifully captured a moment in time, creating photos that are both sentimental and timeless. These images will be cherished for years to come.
Thank you again to the Lilypad team for your talent, professionalism and above and beyond service.

Viewing the photos afterward was just as enjoyable, and we were so impressed with how they turned out. We’re extremely happy with both the service and the final images. Highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We discovered Lilypad after winning second place in a pet photo competition, and we're so glad we did. From day one, Lisa and her team were warm, friendly, and genuinely passionate about their craft. Lisa photographed our whole family at Kings Park with Pichu, our super cheeky Cavoodle, and she was an absolute legend. She put us completely at ease, offered tons of helpful prompts and creative options, and made the whole shoot so much fun. The results speak for themselves: absolutely beautiful. Choosing between all those stunning photos was actually a tough decision, but Maegan was incredibly patient and helpful throughout. Thank you, Lilypad team, for the amazing experience and gorgeous pictures!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a truly wonderful time at Lilypad photography having first approached them to take part in the doggy deck for charity. The photoshoot that followed was very special and the staff were extremely understanding and friendly with my rambunctious 6mo old german shepherd. Their payment options also allowed me to indulge and buy some more photos than I would otherwise been able to afford and they are worth every penny!

You're three steps away from beautiful photos

We live and breathe family photography, so you don’t have to.

At Lilypad, we’ve created a simple 3-step process to beautiful family photos.

1. Lets chat

A quick chat is the easiest way to plan your session, and answer any questions you might have. Schedule a free consult at a time that suits you.

2. Enjoy your session

We understand that being in front of a camera can feel awkward, that’s why we make it fun. Clients often say how fun and easy it actually is.

3. Order your portraits

We make this easy too. You’ll view your images straight after your session or a week later, and we’ll help you choose what you love.

Does family mean the world to you?

Family life is crazy and glorious and hard work, all at once

The kids are growing up so fast. And while you’ve been documenting on your phone all their firsts and everything in between, some moments need that professional touch. And YOU deserve to exist in your family photos too!

But finding the time to choose a Perth photographer, let alone getting them ready for a portrait session can feel like a lot.

Worried that your kids won’t behave or sit still?
Do you feel you don’t look fabulous in photos?
Not sure what everyone should wear?
Always taking photos but never in them?

We hear you. We’ve got you.

Easy & "Cheese" free

No awkward smiles here. Not the kids, not the dog, not you.

Our whole approach is built around real families. Wiggly kids, dogs with their own agenda, toddlers mid-meltdown, and teenagers who’d rather be anywhere else. We’ve photographed all of it, and we know exactly how to work with it instead of against it.

We guide you gently into every shot, so nothing feels stiff or forced. No perfect behaviour required, and no standing there trying to wrangle anyone into a smile.

You be YOU. We’ll make you fabulous.
