Hi, I’m jina.

My number one super power is that I can make kids laugh! I play games and make farty noises and even the shy kids can’t resist my silliness. I never ask a child to ‘look at me and smile’. I don’t have to! A photo session with me is just like a fun play date, often when we’re done, the little one would ask: when do we have to start taking pictures?

My number two super power is that I’m REALLY GOOD at taking pictures. Don’t just take my word for it! I am fully accredited with AIPP (Australian Institute of Professional Photography). I have won a number of photography awards over the years, and have recently been awarded the AIPP 2019 Family Photographer of the Year Finalist. Check out my ABOUT page to see more. All my vaccinations are up to date, so is my Work With Children’s Card.

P.s. My studio is located in the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne, (Forest Hill to be exact), but I’m happy to travel as long as it’s not too far. Come and book a session with me, it’ll be just like a play date!

Studio Z Photography has been gifting us with their beautiful work for nearly a decade, and every year we are consistently amazed by how easy they make the process from booking, photography session (no small feat with young rambunctious boys), to viewing, finalising and recipient of the final product which still remains affordable all these years later.

Jina photographed 3 children under the age of 2 and somehow managed to get the most amazing shots with all three of the children! At once! In the one photograph! Unheard of!!! Jina was a delight to communicate with through all stages of the process to organise our family photos. I can not recommend her highly enough. Superstar! Our kids all loved her and we will be going back again soon for some more treasured snapshots.

Love love love the photos Jina took of my little boy in childcare. She truly captured his cheeky personality and the photos were so natural. With bub #2 on the way, I am absolutely booking our next family photoshoot with Studio Z Photography. Thank you so much for great memories.

I had my third photography session in 5 years with Jina recently with my 2 kids. She is always very professional, takes amazing photos and has a knack for getting everyone to relax. The hardest part is deciding which photos to select – there’s so many beautiful photos to chose from! I first saw Jina’s photos when she captured my daughter’s smile and expression so naturally at Gymbaroo. I was impressed at the way she took lovely photos in a challenging environment without the lighting of a studio with my daughter in action on the play equipment.. The price and photo package options are very reasonable as well. I would highly recommend Jina and am grateful to have such beautiful photos capturing my kids at different ages.

After first coming across Jina via our kindergarten photos one year and absolutely loving them, we booked in a session with her at her studio. We love how she captures the real soul and personality of people in her photos – absolutely stunning photography whilst keeping. A true natural with amazing skill & talent. Jina has a stellar personality and is so great with the kids (and us adults!). We display her photos of us with pride, and look forward to booking in another session with her soon!

Received a range of photos (electronic copy) taken at my child’s childcare centre and photos were captured naturally and beautifully. Reasonable price. Also great and prompt customer service! I look forward to receiving the hardcopy of my child’s photo.

I first realised Jina’s talent when I saw the photos she produced of my daughter at Gymbaroo. Every one of them was precious and framable. I didn’t think that was possible in such a busy atmosphere with my daughter climbing and running around. I have since booked private sessions with her twice over the years and again, we’ve loved *every* photo she offered. Her skill is not only in her eye for framing, lighting, and posing as any photographer can; it is also in her ability to get the kids to act and smile naturally and then capture that gleam in their eyes. Her sessions are at once professional and fun, enjoyable and efficient. It’s no wonder she has been winning awards! I hope she continues to be recognised for her hard work and stunning results.

Jina was fantastic when photographing my twin girls. She really captured their individual personalities and they had so much fun. I can’t wait to get more photos with Jina as they get older. Price was very reasonable as well.

I cannot recommend Studio Z Photography highly enough! Jina is incredibly patient, talented and creative. She made our family portrait session fun and lighthearted, taking the nerves away from us adults as well as the kids. She accommodated all of our requests with a smile 🙂
We have many cherished prints as a result of that session and look forward to more sessions as our kids grow. Thank you Jina!
