Meet Kerri
Welcome to Kerri Goldsmith Photography (previously known as Kerri Donsky Photography).
I’m a Mum and step-Mum – a wife – a Nana to my beautiful grandchildren – a daughter – a sister – and also have 2 very spoilt fur babies.
Photography has been my passion since getting my first camera around 12 years old and my family always knew me for having a camera in hand.
I started my little business back in 2012 and capturing special memories for clients to treasure always is my greatest wish. My motto – Capturing the Moment, the Memory, and the Emotion.
I have a background in nursing and midwifery and just love babies!!! I have spent many years training in posing & handling newborns and editing to be able to produce beautiful heirlooms for you. Hence very comfortable with babies and children, with their safety always of the utmost importance during any session.
I’m proud to say I’m also an international award-winning photographer. I am up to date with vaccinations as your family’s safety is very important to me.
I’m a member of the Professional Photographers’ Association Queensland as a Certified Professional Photographer.
I am also a Certified Newborn Photographer at the Academy of Newborn Photography.
I’m a member of the Professional Photographers Business Network.
I just love my job 🥰

I also love to capture special memories of children and also don’t forget yourself with a family session – so many times we focus on our children and as a parent, we forget to include ourselves, your children want to remember you with them as they grow up.
My home studio is based in Wishart – on the southside of Brisbane and travels for on-location sessions.
Thank you for visiting my website, enjoy and I look forward to capturing special memories for you.
Kerri
