Hi, This is Stacey Xiao!


I'm a warm, patient, and attuned family photographer based here in Sydney, capturing relaxed and natural moments in beautiful outdoor light.


My outdoor sessions are more like a gentle family adventure than a photoshoot — filled with laughter, movement, connection, and the kind of joyful chaos that makes your family uniquely yours.


There’s no pressure to pose perfectly or keep the kids still. I work with the flow of real family life, embracing the running, the cuddles, the sandy feet, and the golden light of a sunset. My aim is to create a stress-free, enjoyable experience that feels like a day out together, while documenting genuine memories you'll love for years.


Parents often tell me I have a way of helping everyone feel comfortable and present, allowing their true selves to shine through in every image.

“The photography is nothing short of exceptional, capturing moments with a sincerity and emotive quality that truly stands out. Each photo tells a story, blending creativity with genuine emotion in a way that is both captivating and heartfelt.”

“Thank you for capturing these gorgeous moments Stacey! The way you shot the photos with the light was so just special. Made my eyes tear up… memories we will have forever!”

“She was so kind and warm and patient, the photos turned out incredible and we are so happy that we get to keep these memories of our family forever.”
