History of Premier Studio
History
"My style is very candid and free-flowing. I love to capture what is happening naturally - this would be my natural shooting style of choice. I’m passionate about capturing great light in camera and I like to use a combination of natural light, off camera flash and reflected light for my outdoor portraits. I also love the different look of studio lights and use them to my full advantage to get the best of both worlds for your shoot. What I really love the most though - I LOVE photographing people in LOVE."
–Jonelle Beveridge
Premier Studio is a custom-built sanctuary (just 20 mins south of Perth City). Designed as a private Hollywood style set with multiple outdoor sceneries for your family portraits. You can have natural, outdoor family portraits taken with all the privacy (no on-lookers) and amenities (the 'main house’ has everything) for you and your kids to feel welcome and comfortable during your portrait sesssion.
Our Outdoor Studio
Studies have found children who grow up with their Family Portraits displayed at home a larger sense of belonging.
They know that this is their family
and they are loved.
It’s a powerful way to tell you children
how proud you are of them
everyday.
It’s our mission at Premier Studio for all children to grow up with a
Family Portrait displayed at home.
Our Mission
For more than 40 years Premier Studio has been creating Family Portraits for families in Perth.
Starting with Jonelle’s Grandmother, Shirley… the business was called ‘Premier Photos’ and weddings only!
After Photographing weddings for… lets just say… a very, very long time; Jonelle’s Mum; Janet Craig had photos of her daughters (Jonelle and her sister, Liliana) on the wall at home and soon the wedding clients started asking Janet to take photos of their families and children in the same candid, photojournalistic style for their walls!
Janet and Jonelle have won many awards for their family portraits over the years. Including Jonelle taking out the National Title of: AIPP Australian Family Photographer of the Year in 2012. (There are too many silver, gold and other state awards to count!)
Jonelle achieved the title of Master Photographer with the AIPP at only 28. Something most professional photographers strive to achieve in their whole career.
Jonelle and her husband took Premier Studio over 11 years ago from Janet- continuing the family legacy of the 3rd generation business we have today!
Family Owned
Premier Studio is now in it’s 3rd Generation of Family Photography. Jonelle’s Grandmother, Shirley started it all with wedding photos over 40 years ago. Jonelle’s mother, Janet started photographing her wedding clients’ when they had kids - and so the portrait part of Premier Studio was born. Now only photographing family portraits, it is Jonelle’s passion and something she has curated with the other talented photographers at Premier Studio.
