Our story

Fifteen years. Two studios.
One family-first promise.

We're Marten and Dalia — a husband-and-wife team, parents of four, and the people behind every Faithful session since 2010. This is the studio we wish had existed when we first held a camera.

How Faithful began

Two cameras, one stubborn belief.

For fifteen years and counting, Faithful Photography has called Sydney's south-west home. What began in Camden and Campbelltown — two best friends with cameras, a shared love of family, and a stubborn belief that photographs should outlast the moment — has grown into Sydney's most-loved newborn and family studio.

The bond inside a family is, we think, the most beautiful thing we'll ever point a lens at. Every session we shoot is built around that idea. Slow it down. Make space for the real moments. Hand back artwork that ends up on a wall, not lost in a phone.

Marten & Dalia.

Dalia

The Baby Whisperer · Makeup Artistry

Dalia has been a registered nurse for over fifteen years and is a mother to four boys — which is to say she's been settling newborns and reading children long before she ever held a camera. Clients call her "the baby whisperer," and we'd argue it's earned: patient hands, quiet voice, and a calm that babies seem to sense the second they arrive at the studio.

Dalia is also an accredited professional makeup artist (Makeup By Dalia). Before the camera comes out, you can sit in her chair and feel completely camera-ready — so you stay present with your family instead of worrying about a stray hair.

Marten

Composition · Lighting · The Final Edit

Marten is the technical half of the studio. Composition, lighting, and the slow craft of editing each image until it sings — that's where he lives. Fifteen years of full-time photography means every frame is deliberate: where the light falls, where the eye travels, how the final image will sit on a 24×36″ canvas above your couch.

If Dalia gets the baby to settle, Marten makes sure the resulting image is something you'll still love in twenty years.

Two studios. One promise.

Spaces built around real families.

Today we work from two purpose-built studios — warm, climate-controlled, with curated gown and prop wardrobes, room for siblings to be siblings, and time to slow down.
