McGill Photography

“I am blessed that I am invited into your lives, and able to help capture your memories” - Lauren McGill

meet the creative

I am a passionate photographer based in Sydney’s Sutherland Shire, specialising in newborn, maternity and family photography.

My initial love of photography began in 2009 where I started out assisting in wedding photography. After the birth of my first child Abigail, the love affair with the camera soon turned into obsession.

Soon enough, my skills behind the lens developed quite a reputation and following on  social media and through word of mouth – and from here McGill Photography was born.

Being a mother, I understand first-hand how quickly our little cherubs grow; and just how important it is to have really beautiful family photography to capture these milestones.

With the blessing of having both an amazingly natural light-filled indoor studio, as well as an abundant and totally unique “outdoor studio” being right on my doorstep (courtesy of Mother Nature herself) – using my talented eye and unlimited imagination, I can capture unrivaled beauty.

I’m also known on occasion to joke that the sun truly is my best friend. Using creativity with light has often turned even the most unsuspecting location into my own hidden gem and the end result is nothing short of outstanding.

Take a look through the galleries, and you will find out for yourself.

Can we all just take a moment for those gorgeous chubby cheeks? 🥹🤍

Who wishes they had a beautiful portrait like this of their little one at 6 months old?

This beautiful family flies over from Dubai every year, and I'm so incredibly grateful that they continue to trust me to capture their growing family. Watching their little ones grow year after year is such a privilege. ✨💕📸

Today I had the pleasure of photographing the beautiful Poppis Too Preschool & Long Day Care for their brand-new website! 📸✨

I'm already booked for their kindy photos, so it was wonderful to also capture the heart of their amazing centre.

I absolutely loved creating these images—I hope you love them too! 🤍

I’ve been photographing this beautiful family for four years now, and what makes it even more special is that they live all the way in Dubai. 💗

This year, they brought along their newest little addition — a gorgeous 6-month-old baby girl. She was the sweetest, squishiest little bundle and an absolute dream to photograph. ✨

I feel so grateful that this family continues to trust me to capture their memories year after year. 🥰

I've been a little quiet on here lately... but I promise I'm still here. 💕

At the end of April, my mum passed away very suddenly, so I took some time away to grieve and be with my family. It was a season I never expected to navigate, and I just needed to step back for a little while.

Behind the scenes though, I've been shooting like a mad woman and absolutely LOVING photographing all of your beautiful kindy kids. 🥹📷

This year alone I've delivered 372 galleries, and I'm currently booked solid for the next couple of months. To say I'm grateful would be an understatement. Thank you to every family and every childcare centre that has trusted me to capture these precious little moments. ❤️

The hardest part about specialising in childcare photography in 2026 is that I can't share the vast majority of what I photograph. Some days I create images that I'm so incredibly proud of, and I can't show anyone!

So... if I've photographed your little one at kindy and you're happy for me to share a few images on my social media or website, I'd absolutely love to hear from you. With your permission, it would mean the world to be able to showcase some of the beautiful moments I get to capture every day.

Thank you for sticking with me while I've been a little quieter than usual. I'm so excited for everything that's still to come this year. 💕
