Short n Sweet … with the Hubbard Family

Central Coast Family Photographer

What do you do when you live on the other side of the world and don’t get home to Australia very often? You book a family photography session so your children can have tangible memories of their time with grandma. For this family, Macmasters Beach isn’t just a place—it’s a piece of home. With his mum still living locally, this shoot was as much about generations connecting as it was about location.

We met on a windy afternoon, where the light was soft, and the tide was low—perfect for a family session full of hugs, laughter, and a splash in the rockpool. The kids played in the same sand their dad once did, while grandma proudly joined them, soaking it in.

These photos are a time capsule. A reminder that no matter where life takes us, there's always a place we can return to— and the people who make it home.
