The Vivid Photography Studio – A Family Run Local Business

We are Cath & Rich Muldoon. We have a wonderful family which includes our children Daniel & Freya, two border collies Lucy & Charlie, a cheeky rag doll cat called Opie, and two mice Niblett and Minton (as in ‘bad minton!’) Lol.

We love living in Maleny, and our ‘shed’ is our creative space for all to come to enjoy. We are obsessed with Lego and have a massive collection on display (see below). Cath loves photography and enjoys nothing more than sharing her talent with her clients. Rich is an artist and paints and displays his amazing paintings and landscape photography in the shed as well. Located amongst the rolling hills of the stunning Sunshine Coast Hinterland, the shed is used also for workshops, a gallery space, a photography studio, or just for fun like table tennis or social events. We invite anyone to visit for a family portrait, and share with us this creative space!

For your family portrait the shed is a custom 25×12 metre studio set amongst the picturesque rural countryside, we have the best of both worlds – stylish indoor sets which give your portraits that sense of occasion, or stunning exclusive outdoor locations only available to locals which offer some of the best scenic views anywhere in Australia.

We are located just 1.5 hrs from Brisbane, 30 minutes from the Sunshine Coast’s most beautiful beaches, and just minutes from breathtaking views of the Glasshouse Mountains to which we have exclusive access.
