Imagine capturing your "Hills with Heart" family in all their beautiful uniqueness.

Not posed. Just their messy, fun, raw and authentic selves.

Imagine knowing that you will be helping to raise funds for the Emerald or Macclesfield CFA.

If you have wanted to have family photos taking for a while, this is a great opportunity.

What is Hills with Heart?


Dreamed up to raise funds for the CFA in Emerald & Macclesfield, Hills with Heart is a new photography project run by local photographer Tracey Sharp of Sharp Memories Photography.


We will be donating the $100 participation fee from every family session. You choose if it goes to the Emerald or Macclesfield CFA.


This project aims to capture families from our community living life, whatever that may look like, no matter what age. Whether it be on the farm, in the shed, the kitchen, reading books or having tea parties, it's about your family and whatever you do together. This is an amazing opportunity to create beautiful natural portraits of your family captured in your unique space.

Do you live in one of the following towns?


Emerald, Macclesfield, Clematis, Avonsleigh, Monbulk, Selby, Cockatoo, Gembrook, Mount Burnett, Dewhurst, Menzies Creek, Belgrave, Belgrave South, Nangana, Yellingbo, Upper Beaconfields, Upper Pakenham or Upwey.


Get involved with your community.


Once we have photographed all the participating families, we will be holding an exhibition to showcase our Hills with Heart families to the world, well at least the local one. The exhibition will feature one photograph from each session, selected by the photographer, and a few family words of wisdom gathered during a mini interview, to run along side your photograph.
