FAQs

MATERNITY SESSIONS

  • 32 to 35 weeks is usually the best time.

  • Yes absolutely. I will give you some advice on clothing, colours, style and what looks good and what to avoid. Also feel free to look at my Instagram page and website for ideas on what others wore in their maternity shoot to give you a little inspiration.

  • Absolutely. You're a family and I love having your partner and other siblings along for the shoot. It’s a lot of fun.

NEWBORN SESSIONS

  • I come to you. Your home, your nursery, your couch and cosy bedroom. I feel it’s a lot more personal for me to be in your space and I always love coming into someone’s home and finding gorgeous light from a lovely window you have, or a pretty nursery, or a funky backyard or frontyard. You don’t have to have your home all spotless, so don’t stress about that. As long as the nursery and loungeroom, and main bedroom are tidy, I can use those spaces. You will be surprised at what I find inspiration in, a doorway, a hallway or floor or a rendered outside wall. We will also do outdoor photos in your garden or a local park.

  • It’s best to do your newborn shoot when your baby is 7 to 10 days old so we can get those lovely sleepy photos with your baby curled up like a pretzel. This is also a good time before your baby gets those little red hormone spots all over its face and body.

  • I usually prefer that you contact me once you have had your baby. It’s hard to predict when that will be so it makes sense to book me when youre home from hospital. If you’re having a planned c-section, then we can actually book a day for me to come over soon after that date.

FAMILY SESSIONS

  • I like to use a couple of parks around my area and a lovely beach location too, but I am also open to you having a special location that has meaning to you. You might prefer a funky Melbourne laneway or city location, which is also fun.

  • I love to shoot about an hour before sunset. This is when the light is soft and gooey and truly magical. If the day is overcast, then we can definitely photograph earlier than sunset. We can discuss it closer to your booked day, sometimes I will often be discussing timing with you a few hours before to make sure we are all okay with weather, light, naps etc.

  • I will give you some advice on clothing, colours, style and what looks good and what to avoid. I know that when I wear something I feel good it, it shows in my face and smile, so wear something you know you feel good in. I also like you to wear your hair out and free so it catches the wind and looks organic and natural. Let your kids have their curls free and hair wild. This makes my heart sing. Also feel free to look at my Instagram page and website for ideas on what others wore in their Family Session shoot to give you a little inspiration.

  • Yes absolutely. This is your family. I just add an extra $150 for these sessions to cover extra photos and editing.

ELOPEMENT SESSIONS

  • Haha, you bet. What ever adventure you have planned, im up for it! Lets do it!

  • Yes, I’d love to. I often get asked to do this, what an honour.

  • I will send you a sneak peek of your elopement usually on the same day if I can, otherwise the very next morning so that you can share your amazing news with everyone! I will then upload the rest of your edited photos within a week or two.

  • Yes, just to secure your booking. It’s a 50% deposit with the remainder due after your wedding.

  • As soon as you know your elopement date to avoid disappointment.
