Mother’s Day Mini Sessions Sydney

5 digital images $390
The session fee is $390 and includes 5 edited digital images.
Mother’s Day isn’t really about perfect smiles — it’s about connection.The way your child wraps themselves around you. The way they still reach for your hand. The way you look at each other and burst into giggles.
These mini sessions are a chance to slow down for a moment and create something beautiful together.
At my Inner West studio, or Sydney Park, I’ll guide you gently through the whole experience so it feels easy, relaxed, and full of heart. No stress. No stiff posing. Just lovely, natural portraits of the people who matter most.

So often, mothers are the ones documenting everyone else. You deserve to be in the photos too!
You’re the one taking the photos, organising the outfits, packing the snacks, and making the memories happen. But your children will one day want to see you in those memories too.
Not just how you looked — but how it felt to be held by you, laughed with you, and loved by you.
That’s why these sessions matter.

Meet Your Photographer
Nikki McLennan
Hi, I’m Nikki, the front woman for Lion and Cub Photography. I’m much more than ‘just a photographer’: it’s my passion, and I’ve been in the game for over 25 years and counting because I’m exceptional at what I do. I’m also a teacher, a mum, a creative entrepreneur, and a proud part of Sydney’s eclectic arts scene, all of which influence who I am and my work.
My greatest skill is finding a way to help people relax in front of the camera: kids, babies, pups, anyone who is shy – I’ve got you. And the moment you relax, that’s when the magic happens.
