FAQ

I’m based out of Lara, Victoria - but service Geelong, the Bellarine, and the Surf Coast. Also the Werribee and Point Cook area.

Once you've enquired and we've found you a date I will email through an invoice and a contract to sign. A $100 non refundable retainer must be paid within 24 hours to hold your date. This amount will be taken off the remainder of your package. I will also send off a detailed questionnaire so that I can get to know you better and we can customise your session. We can brainstorm and plan styling, location etc leading up to your session. The remainder of your invoice must be paid in full 3 days before your session date.

It is beneficial to only bring along things that you don't mind being seen in your photos, such as small wooden toys, and snacks that won't get clothes and faces dirty. If you've booked a newborn session with me I can bring baby wraps, a beautiful basket bassinet and other accessories if you would like me to. You can also bring extra clothes if you'd like to do an outfit change. Have a think about anything else that helps tell your story - bring your kids favourite toy/book that they don't go anywhere without. Dad plays them the guitar? Bring it along!

I start about 75 minutes before sunset. If you're a morning person, let's chat about a sunrise session. Chances are I'm already awake with the kids!

Absolutely! Payment plans can be tailored to your needs, and what fits into your family budget.

Currently, with a small family, I am not offering my services too far from home.
However, I am happy to discuss far enough in advance to plan! To cover my time and costs, I charge a small fee per/km outside of my 30km home radius.

It will take a couple of days to receive your proofing gallery to select your images. Once you have made your selection, I aim to deliver your gallery within the fortnight.
I have a little ones at home who command a lot of my attention, so I am working around their needs.
I try and send a sneak peak within the first day so you can cherish it

Being a mum myself I understand things happen out of our control, kids get sick and sometimes you will have to reschedule. I ask that you give me more than 24 hours notice and we can transfer your retainer to another day that we agree upon. If we decide to reschedule last minute due to extreme weather or last minute acute illness (me or you) your retainer will be transferred to another day that we agree upon.

I'm a firm believer in keeping everything as natural as possible and celebrating you and your body just the way you are. I don't do any body retouching, however I can clear skin from temporary blemishes/scratches etc. I don't alter scars etc as they make you who you are. In saying that, if you were wanting them removed please let me know. I will edit within my abilities.

we will schedule your session between 32-36 weeks. I find that 33/34 weeks is the sweet spot for being able to walk around for an hour without feeling too uncomfortable!

Time of day - I always shoot sunrise or sunset. The lighting is just *chefs kiss*

I recommend between 7-14 days old. Generally, bubs is still easily settled and sleepy in this window.

There is no "wrong time"

If you have missed the 14 day window but still want a session like this please reach out. Documenting these years is so priceless and they grow and change so fast! Whether you have a one month old or toddlers - please reach out.
