INVESTMENT AND INFORMATION
Why am I a photographer?
It's so easy to get caught up in everyday life. I do it, between juggling single mum life, being a present mum to Darcy, working to support us both and having time for everything else - I wish we had more hours in the day! But taking the time out to have your family captured during this season, just as you are, is something you'll never regret doing.
Creative Fee
$150
This fee includes all pre session correspondence, a questionnaire, organisation of the session, and the session itself. An hour with me, indoors or outdoors, exploring and playing and having the best time.
(This fee is payable upon booking with me, and is non-refundable, but transferrable to another date). This doesn't include images.

The Experience
A session with me means...
Exploring the beautiful world around you. Being at home with your kids, in your safe space. Authentic portraits, captured naturally and joyfully. It means an hour where you can forget the millions of things running through your mind and just be present with your family. It's a special, sacred space and I'm so honoured to be able to capture that for you and your loved ones.
Booking In.
I'm so excited to capture you! Fill out the contact form on my contact page and I will be in touch to discuss dates/locations and any other details. I'll send through a invoice for your creative fee & contract and once that's all done we are ready for your session. Feel free to email me about outfits, weather, any questions at all - I'm here to help as much as I can!
The Session.
The day of the session has arrived! Once we begin, it really feels like hanging out with a friend. I'll lightly guide you through the session if I feel the need to, but really its all about creating natural moments between you and your loved ones - play with your kids, explore with them. You'll never get this moment back, and I'm so thrilled to be able to capture it for you.
Post Session.
I'll spend a few weeks working my magic on your gallery. When I deliver the session, you can pick your package based on how many photos you can't live without! Once the package is selected, you'll receive your images via a digital download.
FAQ
What happens if it's raining?
Weather is totally unpredictable. I keep a close eye on the weather leading up to your session, and of course if it's torrential rain we can absolutely reschedule your session to another date.
What happens if my kids are in a mood?
Kids are kids. Having one myself, I am well versed on all the moods of children (and now tweens!) I find outdoors leads to happier kids, and letting them explore and not be restricted leads the session to magical moments. Just be in the moment with your kids, let them play and the moments will present themselves.
What do we wear?
I am of the firm opinion that you should wear what feels comfortable for you and your family. Wear something that makes you feel relaxed and beautiful. Try not to wear too many conflicting patterns or logos. If your kids hate lace and find it itchy, don't put them in that. If it's cold, wear jumpers! Cold kids are cranky kids. Pick your outfit first, and co-ordinate the rest of the family.
How long does it take to get our gallery back?
Roughly 3-4 weeks to get your watermarked gallery for you to choose your images.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING TO THE SESSION?
If outdoors, it's a great idea to bring some snacks, jumpers, water (and some bribes if required!). Anything you think your kids will need while outside exploring. Other than that, just your lovely selves.
IS THERE A TRAVEL FEE?
A travel fee will be added for any sessions outside 50km of the Sutherland Shire.
