Fernvale's Family & Pet Photography Storyteller- Kelly Box

Hey, I'm Kelly Box your Fernvale-based photographer with 17 years behind the lens, and a genuine passion for family and pet photography, as well as farm animal experiences.

I've been photographing families, pets, and all sorts of gorgeous farm animals including Highland Cows across Brisbane, Ipswich, Fernvale, the Lockyer Valley, and the Scenic Rim since 2008. My style's relaxed, outdoor, and about as far from stiff studio smiles as you can get — because that's not how real families are, right?

I'm also a mum to three energetic boys myself, so believe me, I get it — childhood flies by in a blur. That's exactly why K n J Photography exists: to slow it all down for an hour or two, and give you photos that actually feel like your family, not a Pinterest board.

Let me help you freeze these fleeting moments — for generations to come.

Let's Tell Your Family's Story

Relaxed Family Photography, Tailored to Your Family

Your session isn't about perfect poses or forced smiles. It's about slowing down, having fun together and letting genuine moments unfold naturally.

I'll gently guide you every step of the way, so you can simply enjoy spending time with the people you love. Whether we're wandering through a sunlit paddock, exploring one of my unique farm animal experiences or chasing the last light of sunset, every session is relaxed, personal and thoughtfully planned around your family.

The result is a collection of heartfelt photographs that reflect your connection, preserve this chapter of your lives and become beautiful heirloom artwork to enjoy every day.

Where Memories Meet Adventure

Some of the most treasured family memories happen when children are free to explore, laugh and simply be themselves.

That's why K n J Photography offers more than traditional family photography. Alongside beautiful countryside locations, you'll discover exclusive farm animal experiences with gentle Highland Cows, miniature donkeys, Blacknose Valais sheep, seasonal flower fields and other unique rural settings you won't find anywhere else.

Whether you're celebrating a growing family, including your much-loved pet, or creating an unforgettable experience for your children, every session is thoughtfully designed to be relaxed, meaningful and filled with genuine moments you'll remember long after the photographs are taken.

Frequently Asked Questions

A few of the questions I'm asked most, so you know exactly what to expect before booking.

Where are you located?

I'm based in the country town of Fernvale, QLD, and travel to Brisbane, Ipswich, Esk, Gatton, Laidley, Toowoomba, the Lockyer Valley, Somerset Region, Scenic Rim and Gold Coast. Sessions are always on location, rarely in a studio.

Are Digitals available with your packages?

While I always encourage a piece of printed artwork for your home, I do offer a small selection of digital-only packages for those who prefer it. Every collection is designed to make sure your memories are more than just a digital file only.

A $95 booking fee secures your date. Once your session is complete and you've viewed your gallery, you choose your favourite images and package — so you're only ever paying for what you love. Basic Digital Packages start at $650. Credit card, bank transfer or Interest-free payment plans are available pending approval.
