Hi there! I’m Nikki McLennan, award-winning Sydney Portrait Photographer and the face behind the camera of Lion and Cub Photography. I’m passionate about creating soulful imagery that tells a story; your story. Because as a Mum of two gorgeous and mischievous boys, I know how quickly times passes. Your children are forever growing and constantly changing. So to capture a unique moment in their life, to freeze that moment forever in a stunning portrait, it’s truly a gift.
And it’s a gift I want to share with you.
Here at Lion and Cub Photography, Sydney, we’re dedicated to creating lasting memories, lifelong keepsakes, and capturing your family’s individual unique personalities.

Are you ready to document life’s special moments with a Sydney portrait photography experience?
A photograph. It’s a moment in time, a journey to the past, a memory of a loved one, their laughter, their tears. It’s a precious moment from the past revisited through a photograph.

R Ken2023-04-05I recently had an amazing family photoshoot with Nikki from Lion & Cub Photography at the beach, including our daughters. From planning to execution, the entire experience was remarkable. Nikki's guidance on outfits and color coordination was invaluable, and her professionalism put us at ease. What stood out was the in-person design consultation, where we collaborated to create unique artwork for our home. The final product, a beautiful cluster of frames, captured the essence of the beach session. Nikki managed our kids exceptionally well during the photoshoot, making it enjoyable and relaxed for everyone. Her friendly demeanor and artistic eye resulted in stunning images. I wholeheartedly recommend Lion & Cub Photography for personalized, memorable family photography experiences. Nikki's passion, attention to detail, and commitment to client satisfaction make her the perfect choice for capturing cherished moments.Adrian Bilinsky2023-03-26Extremely happy with the photography!!!
