PORTRAITS PRICING

I am based in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney and shoot my outdoor portrait sessions at nearby parks and beaches. Newborns are photographed from the comfort of your home.
I travel up to 45 minutes to nearby suburbs

Family portrait sessions go for approximately one hour. Maternity sessions are around 30-45mins. Newborn sessions can go for up to two hours as they require some extra time for feeding and settling.

I shoot families in an outdoor location at a local park or beach. Sunset is preferred to capture the beautiful afternoon light.
I have a few favourite locations that I can suggest around the Eastern Suburbs, but if you have a location in mind that is special to your family please let me know and I will see if it's suitable.

I deliver a proofing gallery of watermarked images with approximately 80-100 images per portrait session in colour with a selection of black & white copies.

Included in your package are a number of digital images available for download. You are able to make your selection of your favourite images for download via the gallery.

You are also able to upgrade your package to include the full gallery via the online store. Please note your selected downloaded images included in your package wont include a watermark.

We can absolutely reschedule. We don't want to pass around germs, and the same goes for me. I won't do a session if I am unwell. Same if it is torrential, nobody wants wet, cranky, cold babes. Your deposit is transferrable, but not refundable for 'valid' reasons.
However, if you want to reschedule your session for no real reason, a reschedule fee will be charged. This small business unfortunately cannot withstand multiple reschedules when there are clients on the waitlist.

I get it. I have an untameable child sometimes too. However kids tend to feed off adults, so if you're relaxed, they will be. We just go with the flow, let them lead, and moments will present themselves. I pride myself on being able to turn even the grumpiest frown upside down. By default, I promise you your kids will probably act up a bit because it's a new environment and I'm a stranger and it's all a bit weird. But with time and some fun, they'll warm up and we'll have a great time. And if not? We'll get some beautiful snuggly images (those are my favourite).

I have a comprehensive styling guide that will help you plan for the session but what I will say is this - be comfortable, not too matchy-matchy, and make sure the kids are comfortable. We don't want any meltdowns over scratchy tags or itchy knits. When you are comfortable and relaxed, it shows in the images.

No colours are better than others, but I say to avoid bold prints, patterns, and logos as they will clash and date over time. Try to make everyone in the session wear something that works together or compliments each other without being overly matching. For a family, I suggest picking 3-4 colours and dressing everyone in those tones. I will happily help you out if you need an opinion, so feel free to text or email me some options.

I also have a client wardrobe of dresses and newborn outfits which you can select pieces from complimentary with your session. (excludes mini sessions).

For an outdoor family session, pack like you are going out for a day trip. Jumpers, warm clothes, snacks and water. Because we all know cranky kids can usually be settled with a snack. And we
don't want cold kids because it's miserable for everyone. If we are at the beach, bring your swimmers and a towel if you would like (lets be honest, kids always end up in the water, don't
they?) Other than that, just bring your beautiful selves!

Yes, I offer a range of prints, frames and albums via an Australian professional printing lab. You will be able to place an order through your online gallery.

Newborns can be photographed up to six weeks old. I find newborns settle more easily within the first two weeks, and some babies break out in a hormonal pimple rash after the two-week period.

The style of the shoot changes as they grow older but it doesn't have to be done within the first few weeks if you're not feeling up to it and want more time to recover post-birth, and to get a better feel of your little bub.

All babies have their own unique little personalities. So if you have an unsettled bub we can wait till they are a bit older. If you want to capture them as fresh little newborns within the first 10 days is ideal.

For your newborn session, I will come to you and capture the session from the comfort of your own home.

We will generally shoot in one or two areas of your home depending on where the natural light is best. Often the living room and the main bedroom are ideal. It is great if you can tidy up these areas and get rid of any excess clutter. If you are worried that your place isn’t suitable for the photo session please send me some photos of your home and I will make an assessment.

As we all know when babies' arrival dates are unpredictable. We can schedule your newborn session two weeks after your due date, and once your baby arrives send me a message or email and I can reconfirm your newborn session date.

Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday are my newborn session shoot days.

Yes, I do. My portrait packages include immediate family. An additional $50 per person fee applies for extended family members, i.e. grandparents, cousins, aunts, and uncles.

I am fully vaccinated against COVID and am up to date on all standard vaccinations, including Whooping Cough. I also have a current WWC Check.

I do and I don't. It's important to me to retain the integrity of the image and changing people's bodies gives me the ick, but I do amend skin textures, pimples etc if they stand out in an image. I can fix backgrounds as needed, or anything that makes the image busy. But in terms of photoshopping humans and their bodies? Hard no
