WANTED: Happy 4 to 10-Years-Olds to help raise funds for charity!
A world where social media, school yard bullying, societal pressures or adult stresses don’t influence their wellbeing.
And I’m sure there is one thing as parents we can all agree on, we just want our kids to be … HAPPY.
Hi! I’m Alan Moyle from Photobat. And I’m on a mission.
This International Children’s Week, I’m on a mission to help build kids confidence, allowing their own special kind of AWESOME to shine through.
How will I do this? Through the magic of PHOTOGRAPHS.
When kids see themselves in Photographs, they get this INSTANT confidence boost as well as a sense of pride and belonging.
They’re totally chuffed and impressed with how COOL they are.
Seeing these Photographs daily is a reminder of how AWESOME and loved they are!
THIS is the SUPERPOWER of Photographs.
Photographs show kids how the world REALLY sees them – cheeky, fun, adventurous, crazy, creative … HAPPY.
Seeing photographs of themselves cultivates self-love and reminds them THEY ARE LOVED.

- Pre-session Planning Call
- An “HAPPY” Portrait Experience
- 1 x Digital File of Your Favourite Image or $200 towards artwork of your choosing
- A Personal Viewing + Design Session

Total Value $585 for only $75
Price including a $50 donation and $25 for the book.
IMPORTANT: We only have 15 places available for this project, when they are gone we can’t open more due to exhibition space.
Here is a chance to do something special for your kids and support a worthy cause in the process.

In addition to the $50 donation per participant, we will also be donating 5% of any additional sales to the Kids Cancer Project.

Nice words from some of our awesome families.
What is a Photobat? And who is this Alan guy?
Hi, I’m Alan the photographer and everything else at Photobat. I’m a life long photographer, starting in grade 5! I’m a Dad, husband and pet wrangler or two cats and a gassy dog. I often subject my family to dress in onesies for family photos.
I grew up being dragged each year to portrait studios and made to sit on a weird couch, put my arm awkwardly on my brother (who smells) and say “CHEESE” into the camera as a man squeezed a little squeaky toy. I didn’t like that and that is why I choose to take portraits that are full of fun and personality! Nothing boring!
It’s why I often have to change my clothes at the end of a session (wet, dirty and often a mix of both). I love channeling a families energy, fun and uniqueness into fun sessions and then turn them into artwork that make you smile and your friends say “That’s so you” when they see them on your wall.
