Maleny Family Session - Glasshouse Mountains
A Golden Afternoon in Maleny – Family Photography With a View of the Glass House Mountains
by Wylde Folk Studio – Sunshine Coast Family Photographer
Some sessions take your breath away — not just because of the view. This Maleny family session was one of those special afternoons. Perched high in the hinterland, on a private property with sweeping views of the Glass House Mountains, it was the kind of setting that feels like it’s been pulled from a dream.
The land here is quiet and lush, with golden light spilling across open fields and soft winds moving through the hills. It’s one of those rare places that holds space for families to simply be — to run barefoot, to cuddle close, to breathe in fresh country air and each other. And the best part? This property is available to Wylde Folk Studio clients for a small fee, with bookings made directly through me.
From the moment this family arrived, everything felt easy. The children were full of curiosity and play, completely at home in nature. Capturing all the tiny, perfect moments in between — the way little hands reach up instinctively for mum, the safety found in dad’s arms, the laughter that rolls out without being prompted.
Family photography, for me, has never been about stiff poses or forced smiles. It’s about connection. It’s about watching how you love, how you comfort, how you belong to each other. And in a place as serene and open as this, that connection always finds a way to shine through.
The backdrop of the Glass House Mountains added something truly magical to the session. As the sun dipped low and the sky began to blush, we paused to take it all in — the landscape, the stillness, the beauty of a family growing and changing right before our eyes. These are the kinds of memories that feel like home when you look back at them.
This Maleny location is one I come back to again and again — not just for its views, but for the way it allows families to slow down, breathe out, and connect. It’s the perfect canvas for creating artful, honest imagery that tells your family’s story.
If you're dreaming of a session that feels relaxed, natural, and far from the ordinary — this is the place. Let’s create something beautiful together, somewhere that lets your family be exactly who they are.
