Vanilla Images Photography Melbourne - with Karen Pike
Natural and heartfelt Maternity, Newborn and Family Portraits
Our families grow and change so very quickly, you can’t stop time or slow it down. But you can keep the memories alive forever, with a Vanilla Images portrait photography session, for your family.
Capturing the emotional anticipation of parenthood, the pure and fleeting moments of a newborn and the golden milestones of childhood is truly priceless.
Creating heartfelt images that reflect your unique family story is what Vanilla Images’ photographer Karen Pike does best.
The desire to stop time, as you glimpse your child’s pure delight in life is something that never fades.
Karen will personally guide you through your photographic process so she captures those moments authentically, resulting in beautiful, natural images.
From your initial consultation right through to your personalised viewing session, Karen will ensure your memories are preserved your way.
There’s no cheesy poses or awkward moments here. Our portraits are unique pieces of art — created today, for your family of tomorrow.
"Our family photos are priceless to us and our 3 kids. They are absolutely breathtaking! You have captured each personality of our kids to a tee! Such treasured faces captured in print for generations to come."

At Vanilla Images we specialise in both Digital & Printed Products
Having images physically printed so that your memories don’t become lost and having photographs to pass on to your children (and your children’s children) is really what portrait photography is all about.
Our specialist range of archival Wall Art, Prints and Albums are designed to last for generations, so your most loved memories can live on and become your family legacy.
How special is the thought of being able to show your grandchildren that their parent had their exact same dimples or curls or cute little nose!!!
As the years go by, these pieces will not only become priceless to you, but also to your children and grandchildren.
While having physical prints is really important to future proofing your memories. We live in a digital world, and think digital is really important too. Even though it is not perminate, and won’t last the test of time, It is such a useful and fun way to experience photos in the now.
So no matter how big or small your budget is, at all price points you receive a mix of both digital and printed products.
We want you to have the ultimate portrait experience!
"Karen is a magician! Not only did she manage to put us completely at ease despite our extreme awkwardness, but the photos turned out so beautiful and natural looking! We can't wait to put them up around our home!".
