“What sets Zest apart is they are not simply photographers, they are storytellers.”

“My fiancé and I had our engagement shoot with our two pups in their studio, and our experience was phenomenal.

From the first phone call to the moment we picked up our photo collection box and canvas - they made us feel like family. What sets Zest apart is they are not simply family photographers, they are storytellers.

The studio owner Gary sat with both of us, and invested his time to learn our story. Our photographer Adrianna was amazing with our two dogs, and perfectly captured our little family’s playfulness.

With so much going on currently in the world and also in our lives, they showered us with priceless compassion, friendliness and care. Having Zest Photography be a part of our new journey together was a huge blessing.

We are so in love with the new prints for our home, but also extremely grateful for having met people who create connection and focus on what’s important in life - memories.

Thank you to everyone at Zest - Andrew and I will be back for sure!”

“The best thing about the pictures is they are totally us - none of them look or feel anything other than who we are. ”

“I was COMPLETELY blown away with the kids portrait photos Jess took of my little family.

Our love of travel and my little Harvey's joy of 'fixing' things was captured perfectly creating such beautiful memories that will stay with us forever.

I couldn't help the tears well up in my eyes when Gary did the photo viewing with me - all the pictures were amazing and it was so hard to pick the best ones!

One of the great things with Zest was the shoot was so much fun and was all done and dusted quickly (which is great for restless kids!).

Jess has a wonderful way of working with kids by getting and holding their attention - it was so lovely to watch - which is probably why she got such great shots of an active 2.5 yr old!

The best thing about the pictures is they are totally us - none of them look or feel anything other than who we are. I am so glad we chose to go with Zest. Many thanks again to Jess and Gary.”

“…she led us through a journey of emotions that helped capture love, warmth, pride, cheekiness, nurturing and a sense of home in the photos. ”

“Zest Photography captured a moment in time for our family.

From the moment our family photo shoot was booked, the staff began their mission to get to know our family so that they could sculpt an experience that would result in amazing photos that truly captured who we are as a family.

We loved spending the day together and we were made to feel at ease from the start. When we were choosing our photos, Gary patiently helped us to navigate through our options and when our order arrived, Adriana went beyond expectations with her customer service. Our photographer, Jess was amazing. Somehow, she led us through a journey of emotions that helped her capture love, warmth, pride, cheekiness, nurturing and a sense of home in the photos.

I am beyond blessed to be surrounded by such love and now I am surrounded by beautiful photos in my home that capture and preserve that love for all time.
Thank you Zest Photography!”

“When you book a date to have your portraits taken, it’s nerve-racking, but exciting, especially to new parents. ”

“You only get to have your first family portrait taken once. It's one of those personal,
intimate milestones amongst many with a new family. A moment you hope to
cherish for a lifetime.

We are incredibly lucky to have had that first portrait taken by Zest Photography. That hope we had has now been guaranteed and we are the very proud owners of the most exquisite first family photographs. They're captivating. They're timeless. They're humorous. They're serious. They're natural. They're truly US.

When you book a date to have your portraits taken it's a nerve-racking, but exciting, especially to new parents. Honestly, we felt uncomfortable about the idea at first. I know for myself, it was my new curves that did not melt away after pregnancy. But looking at our beautiful baby son, I knew we had to push that anxiety aside because this was a moment we could never return to. We could wait until we lost weight, sure, but then we'd have lost THIS moment.

We could not be more grateful to Gary, Jess, and Adriana for making any worries we had become something we now laugh about. From the very first phone call to picking up our prints today - the experience was world-class.

Zest is the best newborn photography Perth has to offer, they took the time to listen to our story and discover who we are as a family, and it shows in how effortlessly beautiful our portraits are. We already cherish them.

HOT TIP - Those kilos I was worried about... turns out all I actually needed was
some expert lighting and an amazing photographer to melt them away! VOILÀ!”
