Sherbet Birdie Photography - Leichhardt, New South Wales

These ladies are simply so wonderful. So talented, warm, kind and professional in their craft. They made me feel supported, loved and pampered to the fullest. They helped fulfil my dream of being a real Disney princess. Marija and Dianne are masters of make up and hair and Sasha just makes me feel so empowered and natural in front of the camera (and I’m usually one who gets really anxious). They even treated my sweet Belle doll with lovely respect and playfulness which really made me feel so welcome and having silliness to make me laugh and relax. If you want to have a wonderful time to help find your inner beauty and be connected with amazing individuals, I’d recommend these beautiful ladies.

What can I say that hasn’t already been said about the amazing Sherbet Birdie Photography?

From the moment you walk in, it’s clear this isn’t just a photoshoot, it’s an experience. Dianne is a makeup extraordinaire who made my 60s glam dreams come true. Marija worked absolute magic on my hair (so much so that I had to do a double take because it looked like a flawless wig) and her support going through your photos afterward is the icing on the cake. And then there’s Sacha: warm, welcoming, and the kind of person who makes you feel instantly at ease in front of the camera.

This was my second Sherbet Birdie shoot, and honestly? It hope for it to not be be my last. Every detail, every moment is infused with care, creativity, and that signature Sherbet Birdie sparkle. Worth every cent, and then some ❤️

This fairy-inspired photoshoot was pure magic. The incredible team transformed me straight out of a fantasy with stunning hair, makeup and the most beautiful gown! The set design was stunning—whimsical, glowing, and full of enchanting details. It was an unforgettable experience and a magical core memory. I can’t wait to receive my final photos - thank you ladies!

One of the most amazing things about Sherbet Birdie is that their care doesn’t start when you walk through the door—it starts the moment you book. I got a thoughtful pre-shoot survey asking about things like my clothing size, my preferred side of my face, and even allergies or food intolerances (which really matters when you're being served chocolate cake and champagne!).

They even ask if you’re someone who’s comfortable being hugged. That one small question really stuck with me—it just shows how much they genuinely care about people’s comfort, whether you’re neurodivergent, a bit anxious, or just someone who values their personal space. And if you are someone who loves hugs, theirs are some of the warmest I’ve ever received.

They’ve really thought of everything. Their wardrobe isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s inclusive, adjustable, and goes up to around a size 22. It means the curvy babes are not squeezed into something “close enough.” It felt like no matter your size you were part of the design, not an exception to it.

Walking into the studio is like being welcomed into someone’s cosy creative sanctuary. There’s no rush or pressure. You’re offered a tea or coffee, and greeted with big smiles from three of the kindest women I’ve met: Dianne, Marija, and Sacha. Dianne is insanely talented with hair and makeup—like, she makes you look in the mirror and do a double take. Marija helps you go through your photos afterward and never pressures you to buy more than you want (though you’ll definitely be tempted). And Sacha… honestly, she’s this empowering, warm presence who makes you feel completely comfortable and confident in your body.

And then, there’s the shoot

From the moment you're helped into your costume (with the lovely team assisting you gently and respectfully), and your hair and makeup are done, it’s hard not to feel like you've stepped into another world. It’s magical. It’s transformative. It’s not about vanity or content creation or portfolio-building—though you could certainly use the photos for that. It’s about entering a dream space. Maybe you want to be a Marie Antoinette type—bold, opulent, and carefree. Maybe you see yourself as a Disney princess full of hope and light. Or a badass vampire, a witch, a goddess, a burlesque star, a retro pin-up, or something completely unique.

And yes, we’re all beautiful without makeup. But sometimes, having your beauty reflected back at you with artistry—through perfectly styled hair, custom clothing, and makeup that enhances what’s already there—can help you remember who you are beneath all the stress and routines. It reminds you of your power.

And don’t worry if you’re not a natural at posing—Sasha is amazing at gently guiding you through each setup. She’s encouraging and clear, helping you find poses that feel comfortable and stunning. Walking into one of their custom-built sets is honestly surreal. The Marie Antoinette set in particular was jaw-droppingly beautiful—so much thought and effort went into every detail. It truly felt like I had stepped into a different century.

Yes, Sherbet Birdie might seem a little $$ st first but when you consider the level of artistry, emotional care, and empowerment they offer, it’s more than worth it. They also offer payment plans, which makes the experience even more accessible 🙂

This isn’t just a photoshoot. It’s a celebration of you. A chance to see yourself through a new, beautiful lens. And I truly cannot recommend it enough.

The most enjoyable experience from start to finish. I immediately clicked with Sasha, Dianne and Maria and felt super at ease despite not loving having my picture taken. They took my original idea and turned it into something I couldn’t have imagined. LOVED my hair and makeup and Sasha was so excellent at making me feel comfortable in front of the camera. An added bonus was that they were all so fun to hang out with AND made me an excellent sandwich for lunch!!

So happy I made the trip!

Such an amazing experience from start to finish!
Being postpartum, I was struggling to find my confidence, self love and energy again. These ladies empowered me to take a few hours for myself and relish in me! Incredibly talented, professional and empathetic. I am beyond grateful and LOVE the photos!!!

The most empowering experience of my life! There is no other experience quite like Sherbet Birdie, I loved every second and had such a genuinely fun day! I left feeling positive, beautiful and the most confident in myself that I have ever been. The team are all such kind, caring, funny, truly wonderful people. Each of them offers different expertise, and together their talents are beyond words. I know that one day I will be showing my children the photos form my shoot, and telling them about the beautiful people that helped me find my confidence in myself.
