A sneak peak image will be provided to you usually within the first few days, however time frame may vary. Lead times on completed gallery are approximately 2-3 weeks. In peak times, such as lead up to Christmas, and school holidays, lead times can be 3-4 weeks. If you need your images sooner than 2 weeks time, please discuss this upon booking and I will do my best to accommodate your needs.
Please note that all packages present the option to purchase additional digital images, subject to quality/availability from shoot and at discretion of photographer. The price of each additional image is $30 and is on top of the original package purchase. The number of additional images available for purchase will vary between shoots, depending on the length of the shoot and is not always a guarantee.
Package prices are all subject to change at any time, however you will be quoted an amount for your booking, which will remain your package fee even if prices go up before the date of your session. (price is as current at time of booking)
FAQ
What do I wear?
The most important thing about the session is that you and your family feel comfortable, and this should take priority when deciding what to wear! Secondary to this, natural tones such as white, creams, pale blues, pinks, yellows, brown, black all work really well with both indoor and outdoor shoots. We want the main focus to be on your beautiful smiles and fantastic scenery so it's best to avoid very bold stripes, checks or patterns. Importantly, choose a tone to go with for your whole family, so you match. You don't have to wear the 'same' thing, but different tones of the same kind of colour or attire look great for family photos.
What if I book an outdoor shoot and it rains?
If rain is scheduled for the day of your shoot, and it will likely rain at the exact time of your shoot, I will contact you to arrange an alternative day at my earliest possibility. I leave time slots free each week incase of this. If it's scheduled to rain, but a very low chance, and not at the direct time of your shoot, I discuss with you what you would like to do.
As a new business, my goal is to be as flexible as possible, with a smaller number of bookings to allow for this.
How will I receive my photos?
You will receive your photos via my online secure gallery. You will be able to review drafted photos and select any additional photos to be completed with your gallery. Additional options will be watermarked until purchased.
What if my child doesn't co-operate and we don't get any photos?
As a parent, especially of toddlers, this can be a very genuine fear when booking a photography session! I have raised toddlers myself, and personally understand the anxiety! Please be assured i have literally never had a session where we were unable to obtain a gallery of happy images! Our indoor sessions are at my home, which is not formal or intimidating for children. The room setup looks calm and like a bedroom as i have found its usually very familiar objects for children rather than giant backdrops and poles. If your child needs some time adjusting, I have toys, books, music and lots of patience! The separate lounge is a normal lounge room with carpet and calming blue couches. It's also a good idea to have in your mind some songs or dances your children love, because we can get some fun movement involved too! If we are unable to get some lovely images on the day, I will replace the session on another day the same or a different setting (swap from indoor to outdoor or vice versa).
