“As I look at my family portraits, it transports me to a blissfully happy moment, frozen in time.” – Natarsha Belling (Ch 10.)
“Other things may change us, but we start and end with family.”– Anthony Brandt
What makes families so special?Love? Laughter? Shared moments?
Everyone’s answer is different – but every family history is important, and deserves to be documented for future generations.
By keeping you relaxed and spending time at your favourite family locations, I’ll beautifully capture the unique stories and personalities in your family.
An Israel Smith family portrait is the perfect way of preserving your life’s special moments, to keep as treasured artworks you’ll enjoy for years to come.
To me, the family is one of nature’s masterpieces, so I want to frame it.
“Hold tenderly that which you cherish.”– Bob Alberti
I do my best work with energetic, connected, loving families.
People just like you, who want to press pause on their busy lives, and hold onto the moments that matter.
Sure, I’ll photograph amazing portraits of your children, and even your pets. But my favourite story to tell – the one I think is most important – is your whole family, together.
Your family portraits will show real smiles, genuine joy, and the true connections that make your family what it is.
This is what I aim for when creating my “future classics” – unique and timeless images for now and future generations: links through time.
At Israel Smith we don’t just photograph families, we Illuminate Lives.
“Israel, your work is amazing! I was looking for words to describe my feelings but couldn't come up with any. I cried and cried and cried over the weekend with happy tears. Thank you for everything!” – Asako
“Quality is not an act, it is a habit.”–Aristotle
Your finished portraits – frames, prints, canvases and albums – are made to archival standards, and created to last for generations.
It’s important that your family’s portrait artworks last long enough to share with your children’s children. That’s why I take such care with every step of the creation process.
From initial capture on high-end professional equipment, to image preparation and enhancing on the finest colour-calibrated monitors, before printing and finishing using industry-leading materials, every stage of creation is carefully checked to be of the highest quality.
And to give you ultimate peace of mind in your investment, your portraits are guaranteed for life.
Your Israel Smith family portraits will become treasured family heirlooms.
“Thank you so much for our beautiful family photos. You have captured us in such a happy way, and we are very grateful. You have presented your products in stunning packaging too. Many thanks!” – Lucinda

Israel Smith m.photog
After a brief, dissatisfying career as an IT Consultant, Israel opted-out of the corporate world in early 2004 and became a portrait photographer.
He rose to success quickly, and achieved Master of Photography with the Australian Institute of Professional Photography (AIPP) just 6 years later in 2010.
In early 2011, Israel was diagnosed with stress-related depression, and spent time reassessing his priorities, with the help of his wife Belinda.
Since his recovery, Israel has realigned the photography business with his life’s priorities of great health, and quality family time.
With over 10 years experience, Israel now photographs families exclusively. He believes the family unit is vitally important, and should be celebrated through portraits.
Melding his love of family with his skill as a photographer, Israel creates insightful portraits of energetic, loving, connected families.
