Because nothing's more important than family

Family sessions


Slow down, spend a while focusing on what really matters.


We'll meet at a beautiful location, usually in the hour or so before sunset so the light is golden and warm. I will gently guide you all along so you never have to worry about where you should stand or what you should be doing. These sessions are relaxed and fun, full of chatter, prompts and activities so you can be yourselves and enjoy spending time together creating beautiful family memories.

"...It was so lovely to watch the way you were able to help us all relax and get the kids to feel comfortable while ensuring they were having fun with it as well. I normally feel so awkward and

unsure when having my photo taken but I didn’t feel this way at all with your guidance and tips..."

FAQ

What time do sessions take place?

I prefer to start family sessions in the last hour or so before sunset. The last of the golden light from the day is very flattering and adds a touch of magic to your photos! This time varies from around 7.00 pm in the summer months and is as early as 3.30 pm in the winter months.

What happens in bad weather?

I don’t mind shooting when it is overcast and cloudy, we can even work through a sun shower, but if heavy rain or strong wind is predicted we will need to reschedule. I check the forecast regularly in the lead up to you session and let you know by 12pm on the day if we need to reschedule.

How do I receive my photos?

You will receive a link in your inbox to your personal online proof gallery where you can view the watermarked final images from your session. Through the gallery you will select which package you would like to purchase. Shortly after payment is made you can download web sized versions of your photos from your gallery and the high resolution versions will be provided to you on a USB stick.

How long until I receive my photos?

Generally 2 weeks after our session date. This may be longer during busy periods.

What if my kids won't sit still for photos?

I completely understand toddlers and energetic kids don't like to sit still for long and that's ok!
My sessions incorporate activities and prompts that capture kid's attention and spark their imagination allowing me to capture natural, joy-filled moments. My goal is to capture the unique essence of your family and create lasting memories. So even if your kids won't sit still, I adapt my approach to capture their unique personalities and document your family's love and togetherness. Some of my favourite photos are candid and unplanned moments that have been completely child led.

Do you offer prints?

Yes! I offer a curated range of printed products through an association with a professional printing lab. Prints can be ordered online through your final gallery when you have purchased your final package.

Do you offer a payment plan?

Yes. The session fee is payable in full upfront but your chosen collection is able to be paid off via an agreed payment plan. This is usually three payments made a fortnight apart. You will receive your images and products from your final collection when the balance has been settled in full.
