We were incredibly happy with our newborn photo shoot that Michael did for our little Theodore. We were very nervous that Theodore might not cooperate or would cry the whole time! As soon as we arrived, Michael put us at ease and did all the work. We sat back on the couch whilst he did his magic. He made us feel so comfortable and he was able to get Theodore to sleep in minutes (we almost wanted to take him home). He was very accomodating and allowed us to select different outfits/props that suited our little man’s personality.

When reviewing photos, we had so many to choose from. We were so happy with the end result and could not recommend Michael enough.

Michael was so patient when our baby was unsettled, settled her himself, even fed the bottle. My toddler was a bit tired and unsure and got a bit upset and Michael made conversation with her a lot and she came around and we got some beautiful family shots. Michael has a gentle, kind and calm nature that really shines through and makes all the difference. Our photographs were beyond amazing and will be treasured for years to come.

I would recommend Michael O’Keefe to everyone wanting family or new born photos! He is just amazing how nice and kind and professional he is! And it still amazes me how he keeps babys so calm for every photo! There was never a awkward moment Michael is very easy to get along with and kept up the conversation. He will tell you every step as he took photos. I would 100% recommend Michael O’Keefe 🙂

I had booked for my newborn photos in April but due to COVID-19 it was postponed. Michael kept in touch with me with updates to when he was planning to reopen, which made me feel at ease with the new restrictions .

Once I was booked it, the moment I walked in the door, it felt like home. He treated my son with such respect and kindness. The way he handled my son with such care placing him in certain positions for photos was amazing.

The hardest part was choosing which photos to choose as they were all just amazing. Was a very tough choice but Michael was there to help guide me.

I am absolutely stoked with the photos, they turned out perfect. I am so grateful to have Michael capture them for me.

I would highly recommend Michael to anyone who is looking to have professional photos taken.

Cant reccomend Michael O’Keeffe high enough.
We have used him a few time’s now and will use him again for sure.
He was so great with our cranky newborn and captured moments that will last forever. We have been to his studio and have also had a location shoot. Both absolutely amazing.

How do you describe an amazing experience and photographer just that it was amazing and our photos are just beautiful! Michael captured the best photos of a beautiful baby boy and what I would call the perfect family photo since my husband and I aren’t really too keen on having photos done! Michael was very relaxed and friendly made us feel very comfortable also he was incredible with our son who isn’t too keen on anyone else but his mum!

We cannot recommend Michael enough! We had Michael photograph a newborn session for our son Lucas. He was nothing but professional, warm and made us feel comfortable throughout the session; not to mention he was amazing with Lucas and settling him between shots and keeping him relaxed. Our photos are amazing and we could not ask for more.

I cannot recommend Michael Okeefe photography more- his professionalism towards his photographs and how he is so warm and welcoming making you feel at ease. We had my daughter’s photos done and he was brilliant; and we are going back again for another new born shoot with this bub when he is born!!! Highly recommend!! Worth the money and the quality you get in return is second to none.
