It has been a long time since Brenton Spiteri has had a professional portrait taken with his mum, but that is set to change.
This month, the Caroline Springs photographer is taking part in National Family Portrait Month, which aims to get families in front of cameras to raise money for charity and create lasting memories.
As well as posing with his mum, Mr Spiteri will donate his talent and time to help raise $20,000 for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
He said there was no better time for people to take portraits with their mum than in the lead-up to Mother’s Day.
“Most people I speak to tend to never find
the time to book in a family portrait – we’re hoping this gives them a reason. And it’s for a good cause … everyone knows of someone who has had, or been affected by, breast cancer.”
Mr Spiteri said people often neglected the importance of family portraits until it was too late.
“Sometimes people don’t get photographs until something happens.”
He said photographs captured precious moments and milestones in people’s life. “Every family has a journey that should be documented.”
The National Family Portrait Month
sessions cost $65, all of which will be
donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Additional photographs can be purchased for extra cost.
