Trusted. Experienced.
Established.
A Western Sydney studio built on more than 30 years of early childhood education and photography experience, bringing calm, professional photo days to the centres and families we love.
Meet Chett Rawson.
Chett founded Playtime Portraits in 1993, bringing together 30+ years of experience across early childhood education and professional photography. As a former early childhood teacher and Director of a Uniting Childcare Centre, she saw first-hand how rushed and impersonal traditional photo days could be.
From traditional film through to modern digital techniques, Chett has consistently prioritised quality, care and authenticity, and built Playtime Portraits to combine professional photography with real childcare experience.
The result? Calm, organised photo days and natural portraits that families truly value.
