Darwin, Palmerston and Rural Portrait Photographer

Celebrate you, your pets, your story

Welcome

Hi, I’m Isabella and I’m the face behind Isabella Giffard Photography. I live in Palmerston, Northern Territory with my partner and fur baby, and I’ve been photographing families, couples, pets, and everything in between since 2020.

I’m here to help you press pause on the busy, messy, beautiful chaos of life and turn it into portraits you’ll actually treasure. The kind you’ll smile at every time you walk past, the kind your kids (if you have kids) will flip through years from now and say, “remember this?”

I’m fully insured and have my Working With Children Card, so you can feel confident you’re in safe hands while we create something meaningful together.

The Custom Portrait Experience

Not every story fits in a box, and that’s where this experience comes in. Whether it’s your family, your partner, your pets, your hobbies, or a mix of it all, this experience is built around you. Together we’ll plan a session that feels natural, fun, and true to your life, then turn those moments into artwork you’ll actually want on your walls.

    We had a photoshoot with Isabella to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary, and she was absolutely amazing! Her planning and attention to detail were exceptional - from helping us choose what to wear to guiding us in selecting the photos we loved most. She even played our favourite love song during the session, creating such a heartfelt and intimate atmosphere that made us feel truly in the moment. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a thoughtful and professional photographer who captures not just images but emotions.

    If you're wanting photos done, I 100% recommend Isabella Giffard Photography. It was so relaxing and easy going.

Her communication afterwards when showing the photos was excellent and I love the way they came out. They are amazing.
