It’s pancakes on the kitchen floor at midnight. It’s a two-person dance party on the roof of the parking garage. The way your hands fit together just right as you promise your lives to one another. It’s pillow fights with the kids, followed by tickles and then cuddles. The way their little faces snuggle tightly into the nape of your neck and the sound of that giggle when you pull a silly face.
It’s your life, EXACTLY as it is right now – in all it’s natural beauty.
Derryn has been our photographer from the very beginning, doing every shoot, from our wedding to each annual family shoot. She is the most gifted photographer, and her talent goes beyond just the photos. It’s the way she makes you feel when she is capturing your most special and raw times in life.
She is incredible in every sense of the word!
“I’m so glad that we did our engagement shoot with Derryn Schmidt Photography.
We were given enough direction to not feel awkward, without feeling as if the shoot was too scripted. It was way more enjoyable that we were expecting. Even for Ryan who didn’t think he’d enjoy himself at all!”
“We are so happy about the wonderful pictures Derryn has created for us. She shot our wedding in 2021, and captured some images of us once our family grew.
She puts us at ease, and we thoroughly enjoy her calming energy“

Gosh how I love a branding shoot. We go into it with a very rough mood board just to get us started, but inevitable veer off in a different direction - but it’s always one that reflects the clients personality. Not knowing exactly what the outcome will be and just vibing together until we create something we both love is what makes these shoots so much fun.
This particular client happens to be my sister. She has created a new brand for kiddies wallpaper, off the back of her established business @houseoftan.decor
Please give her some love by liking and commenting on a few posts, so the algorithm Gods push her content. I’d really appreciate it, and I know she will too. @littlehouseoftan
I’ve been incredibly fortunate to have been busy lately. So busy, in fact, that I’ve been forgetting to update my portfolio.
Here are some sweet tender moments between my friend Claudia and her precious family. ❤️

These are FAST becoming my favorite shoots. 15 minutes is ample time to form a connection and to get a good group of photos. If early morning beach shoots are not your thing - pls reach out so we can slot you in for the next shoot date.
I really REALLY enjoy personal branding shoots. They’re a chance to get creative, for collaboration and most importantly, connection. I’ve yet to do a shoot like this where I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed meeting and getting to know the person I’m working with. So many of my friendships have begun like this. If you’re looking for personal photos - pls pop me a message! I’ll include extra time for a coffee and chat ;) @_hayleylombard_art
This was just a lighting test using my Iphone and 9 year old. My special sausage!! @the.socialite_
From slide 3 … I didn’t realize Ellie was taking photos using my phone during her cousin’s session. All I’ve done is make them black and white - I didn’t crop or anything. These are her compositions. So gorgeous! @gaecokayne
Still a few spots left for my studio sessions taking place on Saturday - R850, 20 minutes and 10 high res photos.
You’ll find the booking link in my bio.
