The Experience
Our mini sessions offer a dynamic experience, set against the backdrop of stunning outdoor locations that will serve as our impromptu photo studios!
These sessions last around 20 minutes, that is why we urge you to arrive at the location before your scheduled time to ensure that every precious moment is captured. 😊
Within a couple of days following the session, you will receive an exciting sneak-peek preview of your photos. Then, within a timeframe of up to two weeks, you will gain access to the complete watermarked gallery. There, you can handpick your favorite shots, which will be delivered to you fully edited and in full resolution! 📸✨
Mini sessions are perfect if you don’t need a lot of photos and if you want to keep it affordable. If you, however prefer a more individual and deeper approach to your family album, then feel free to

Kind words from our lovely clients!
We had a family photography session with Misha and he was amazing! He’s very friendly and great with kids! My daughter liked the way he entertained her all the while. He was easy to deal with and he really made us feel comfortable while he’s doing his photography magic. The quality of the photos he’s taken were excellent and we really loved it! A few of the photos are now framed for us to cherish! Overall I would recommend Misha’s service to my family and friends. (sourced from maps.app.goo.gl/bJrtPC431gsAyhZx6)
Misha is awesome, he made us feel really comfortable in front of the camera and was able to get so many amazing photos of our family (including a toddler- which is no easy feat). We absolutely love our photos and will be using him again. Would highly recommend. (sourced from maps.app.goo.gl/3BZkTqx1rtTjWF8UA)
Our time with Misha was fantastic! Undoubtedly one of the finest family photoshoots we’ve ever had. Milsons Point provided a stunning backdrop with blooming jacarandas, and Misha’s expertise as a photographer truly shone. His guidance made the process seamless, and even my little daughter had a blast. Highly recommend Misha for a memorable experience—we’re definitely coming back for more photoshoots!

Questions and answers
What if the weather forecast is bad and we have an outdoor photo session booked?
There’s always a chance of encountering a rainy forecast, regardless of whether you book your session in winter or summer! If rain is in the forecast, we’ll gladly reschedule your session. If the weather looks wet, we can either decide the night before or wait until the morning to make the call. We will stay in touch in the days leading up to the session to discuss our options and ensure we find the best solution for your comfort and convenience.
Do you bring props to family/newborn photo sessions?
At True Story Photo, we specialize in authentic and natural photography, minimising the use of unnatural posing and props (the only exceptions are special stylised shoots). Instead, we prioritize capturing genuine moments as they naturally occur. However, we’re delighted to include any cherished mementos, blankets, or toys that hold significance for you and your family. Your input is invaluable in crafting meaningful and heartfelt photographs that tell your unique story.
What if we fall sick and cannot make it?
In the event that either you or our photographer is unwell, we will absolutely reschedule the session. We understand that children can unexpectedly fall ill, and we are more than happy to accommodate such situations. We kindly ask that you provide us with as much advance notice as possible if your child is feeling unwell. This allows us to fill your slot with someone from our waiting list.
Can we keep out photos to ourselves only?
We understand that in today’s digital age, some parents may prefer not to share their children’s photos online. That’s why we offer the option to remain “incognito.” Please let us know if you prefer this when you contact us. It’s important to note that this is a paid option. Our photography serves as a crucial tool for promoting our services, and in cases where we cannot utilize your photos, it requires additional resources to compensate for this loss. Your understanding and cooperation are greatly appreciated as we strive to accommodate your preferences while maintaining the quality of our services.
What do we wear?
Our philosophy towards fashion is simple: you have to feel comfortable in what you are wearing—both in terms of fit and style. The better you feel, the more natural and positive the resulting photographs will be.
One piece of advice: aim to coordinate colors among your family or group members as much as possible. This enhances visual harmony and creates a more cohesive look in your photographs.
Can we bring pets?
You are more than welcome to bring your pets along! However, please ensure that the location where your mini session is conducted permits dogs or other pets.
Collins Beach, for example, strictly prohibits dogs in its vicinity
