The FAQ

Do you Travel?

Yes. I love to and will travel Australia wide at an additional travel cost.

How long have you been doing this?

I began taking photos of my own family early 2020. I started my business mid 2020 after falling in love with photography and helping create memories for people.

How many photos do we get?

I cannot give you an exact number as it depends on how many we get on the day. Generally you will receive around 100 photos for lifestyle shoots and roughly 60 per hour for wedding packages.

How do we get our photos?

You will receive your photos via an online gallery that will be private. To access this gallery, you will need to receive an email and a password to view it with an additional password to download the gallery.

Do you retouch photos?

No, I do not edit the features of my clients. I can remove small details like a stain or even a pimple but I like all of my photos to remain as natural as possible as I believe that is the most beautiful versions.

Whats your turn around time?

My turn around time is roughly 4-6 weeks for regular sessions, 6-8 weeks for events and 10- 12 weeks for weddings.

How do we book you?

To book you can either contact me via website, email, Facebook, Instagram or phone. When you message, be sure to add what date you're after, what session you're booking, a location if you have your own and a little bit about you, who will be in your photos and any plans or styles you're after for your photos.
Your session will be locked in once a retainer is paid.

Can you help us with planning?

Of course I can. I want to create memories and photos you can look back at and love for a lifetime. My aim is to create your perfect so lets find out what you're after and create it.

How far out do you book?

I usually have quite a few dates available but I also have family commitments and events to attend so to make sure you secure the date you're after, the earlier you contact me, the better.

Can we bring our pets?

I love all animals and would love to include your pets in your photos but it depends on the location as not all locations will allow pets. If your location allows pets you're more then welcome to bring them, just remember that their lead and collar will be seen in photos too so try keep them matching or the same colour as your theme.

What should we wear?

Firstly, I want you to be comfortable and feel beautiful! The better you feel about your outfit, the happier and more natural you look in front of the camera.
If you're unsure of what looks best, chat to me and we can find the perfect look that suits you best!

Payment

All lifestyle sessions must be paid for one day before your session and 1 month before your wedding. All lifestyle sessions require a 20% non refundable retainer to secure your date and weddings require a $500 non refundable retainer.
