We had an amazing experience with Alla Darkina photography for our baby’s cake smash photoshoot! She is incredibly professional, flexible, and, most importantly, so patient with babies. From the moment we arrived, she made sure our little one felt comfortable and happy, capturing the most beautiful and natural moments. Her attention to detail and ability to work with a baby’s unpredictable mood truly impressed us. The photos turned out stunning, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! We will definitely be booking more sessions with her in the future. Highly recommend!!!
We had the most amazing experience with Alla for our baby boy’s cake smash session! From the very beginning, she was incredibly patient and made sure I was involved in every step of the process. She took the time to understand my vision and brought it to life so beautifully, all while offering her professional insights to make it even better.
The session itself was so much fun! She created such a warm and relaxed atmosphere, making it an enjoyable experience for me and my little one. The way she captured our baby boy was simply magical—every smile, every giggle, every little messy moment was preserved perfectly.
I am beyond happy with the outcome and will cherish these photos forever.
If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, patient, and truly passionate about what she does, look no further than Alla Darkina Photography! I Highly recommend!!!
We are so grateful that Alla has found time for us to have the Christmas photo shoot. We really love the way she works with big and small people 😆 (our son is not an easy photo model). We really like the photos. Always get more than planned 😄. So happy we found Alla.

Alla Darkina was our photographer, and her passion and expertise were evident throughout the session. Her skill in managing and positioning two dogs for the photos was particularly impressive. We are extremely pleased with the remarkable photos and the overall experience. We highly recommend Alla Darkina for her exceptional service.

We highly highly recommend Alla to anyone and tell all our friends To contact Alla for their photoshoots. Thank you Alla for creating such beautiful memories for my brother and sister in law.
Arina
Alla has been our family photographer for 8 years now! Her work, passion, and attention to detail are meticulous, she really takes pride in what she does, she even will be able to suggest to you what to wear if it’s a family photoshoot so you can color coordinate with all family members because it looks complete on the photos. She is a great communicator and newborn baby whisperer, a very gentle manner with your baby, if it’s a newborn baby shoot. Her studio is just stunning.
I truly believe Alla is the most amazing family photographer in Sydney!
Absolutely in love with our beautiful photos. I couldnt' be more happier with how well Alla has captured this special time in our lives.
Being my last pregnancy, I really wanted to document the bump as a precious memory. Alla did this so beautifully and I couldn't have asked for more!
Thank you so so so much Alla x

Alla was amazing to work with, super flexible and very accommodating. She was able to incorporate a lot of specific requests before and during the session, was able to edit photos without keeping a count until we were satisfied, and above all, gave us a LOT of extra time during the session to make sure we captured some really precious moments! Thanks Alla, it was a pleasure! :)

Alla has been a very professional photographer for our family photos. We had an extended family shoot and Alla was able to capture unique images for us to treasure for many years to come.
Thank you
This was the first time that Alla did a photo session for us. We were so impressed by her level of professionalism that we will be back again. She had everything set up which means she efficiently spent time taking photos & moving from one set of props to another. This allowed to get many beautiful photos. Her studio is nice & cozy with a comfy sofa, teas & snacks.
