The deposit is payable AFTER I confirm the session availabily, following your enquiry. Reach out and reserve your date today - at no cost. The deposit to secure your sesison is $150. This is non-refundable, however sessions can be rescheduled or the deposit credited to a different session type (so you don't lose your deposit). 72 hours notice is required to reschedule a session, unless due to unexpected serious ilness or health complications.

Family and newborn lifestyle sessions are designed to be natural and easy, whether outdoors or in-home. No awkward poses or stiff smiles here! You’ll barely notice the camera, and the focus will be on capturing moments as they unfold, not on posing or perfection.

Don't worry! I allow plenty of time to settle and calm baby if required during the photo session. As for the kiddos, temper tantrums and frowns are all part of the journey! I let the children lead, so everyone can relax and we capture real, unscripted smiles.

For maternity photos, booking between 32-34 weeks gestation gives you a glowing, beautiful belly. Newborn photo sessions are ideally done between 4-14 days old, when your little one is still sleepy and flexible. Sessions are limited, so please enquire at least 6 weeks ahead. Sometimes cancellations create availability, so feel free to reach out if you’re in need of a last-minute session!

I can work with most spaces. I focus on capturing the beauty in your environment, even if its not perfect. As I use natural light in my sessions, the most important thing is access to a well lit room out of harsh, direct light. I can photograph in dim rooms, hower it does introduce a grainy vintage film look to the photos. Fortuneatly I don't need very much space. A neat, uncluttered room like a lounge room, master bedroom or nursery is ideal. If unsure you can share some images with me during consultation and decide on the best approach for your in-home family lifestyle photography session.

I completely understand that budgeting for professional photography can feel like a big decision. That’s why I offer AfterPay to split your payments into 4 installments. While smartphones are great for quick snaps, professional photography goes far beyond that—it’s about capturing genuine emotions, using expert lighting and composition, and creating images of superior, fine-art quality perfect for large prints that will stand the test of time. DIY photography also makes it nearly impossible to include the entire family in candid, heartfelt moments. Often, one person—usually the one behind the camera—is left out and rarely has photos of themselves. With a professional photographer, everyone gets to be part of the memories, creating a complete story of your family to cherish forever. It may seem like a big investment, but these photos last a lifetime. Think about how much we spend on fleeting indulgences—like coffee runs or a trip to the nail salon. In comparison, professional photography creates something timeless, capturing precious snapshots for you and future generations. I guarantee in 10 years’ time you won’t be thinking about the cost while reminiscing over your beautiful memories.

I select around 40 to 45 of the best images from your session to lightly edit. This involves applying colour grading and cropping. These are then delivered for your review, where you can select your final 15 images, or choose to upgrade for extra photos. Then your final selection will be finley hand edited to remove distractions, do any face swaps, remove baby acne, even newborn skin colour and texture, even adult skin and blemishes and clean up backgrounds to remove distractions. Some artistic styling can also be applied such as selective lightening, darkening or blurring of areas. My editing services do not include slimming or body reshaping.

My focus is on quality over quantity—your package includes the most meaningful and beautifully captured images that tell your story. While the photos have already been taken, editing and delivering additional images requires time and resources. Charging for extra images or full gallery upgrades helps cover the time spent curating and editing while maintaining the high standards you expect.
