Best Outdoor Locations for Family Photos in Bathurst (Earthy + Natural)

you’re planning family photos, one of the biggest questions is:

“Where should we actually do them?”

And honestly… location matters more than people think.

Why Outdoor Locations Work Best

Outdoor sessions give you:

• natural light (which is always more flattering)

• space for kids to move

• a relaxed, less “posed” feel

You’re not stuck in one spot trying to make everything perfect.

My Favourite Types of Locations

Instead of focusing on one exact place, I look for vibes:

Open fields

• soft, earthy tones

• beautiful at sunset

Tree-lined areas

• shade + texture

• perfect for variety

Long grass / natural bushland

• relaxed, documentary feel

• timeless and not trend-based

What Makes a Location “Perfect”

It’s not about it being fancy.

It’s about:

• good light

• space to move

• no distractions in the background

Simple always wins.

Bathurst & Central West Spots

The Central West has so many hidden gems that photograph beautifully without feeling crowded or overused.

And I always help choose the perfect spot based on:

• your session time

• your vibe

• your family dynamic
