Welcome to Heartstory
Canberra’s Award Winning Photography Studio. Est. 2009
Heartstory is Canberra’s most trusted family portrait photography studio and has been taking care of Canberra families since 2009.
Jeremy Byrnes and Katie Kolenberg (the owners and principal photographers) are family portrait specialists, including maternity and newborn photography, baby and child photography, outdoors and studio family photography and couple photography. Heartstory also takes a limited number of wedding photography commissions each year.
We photograph outdoors all over Canberra, and in our beautiful Belconnen studio. We are known for how we connect with children and babies, our fun and honest approach to capturing families, our use of the natural environment and our creative vision. We provide personal, customised service and unique heirloom products, for every taste and budget.
The family portrait experience
Having your family photographed is a celebration of you—your story, the love you share and your ‘right now’.
1. The consultation
Over the phone. We get to know you, find out your hopes and wishes for your photos, and discuss things like location and styling.
2. The session
On location, in studio or at your home/property. You have an absolute blast being photographed by us and we capture all the magic.
3. The purchasing appointment
At our studio in Belconnen. You come for a personal appointment. Your decision-making game is strong. We create beautiful artwork for you to keep forever.
