FAQ's


but wait, i have a question!

 

How do I book a photo session with you?

Get in contact, lets have a chat. If you like my style and you’re keen as a bean, then lets pick a date! I’ll e-mail you with some boring but necessary stuff (contract, questionnaire and link to pay a non-refundable deposit). Once your deposit is paid, your date is officially locked in! Once you’re booked, we’ll chat location and wardrobe.


Rock up to the shoot! Have fun and enjoy!


I’ll send you a link to an online proofing gallery within a week, which is a lightly edited, curated gallery for you to pick your favourite pics from.


Once you’ve decided on your favourite pics (or upgraded your gallery.. no pressure!), I’ll get to finalising the edits. Usually done within 2 – 3 weeks from when you pick your images!


What is your style?

I’m bright, bold and love colour and my photos reflect that. I LOVE nature, so outdoor shoots will always include some Pilbara landscape.


There’s a time and place for posed photos, but my favourite moments to capture are the genuine ones. The moments showing your connection with your loved ones – whether that’s playing with your kids, laughing with your partner or feeling empowered AF during a solo photoshoot. The candid moments sometimes come with messy hair, double chins and laugh lines, but I promise these are the ones you and your loved ones will look back on in years with the greatest of memories.


That being said, there’s definitely still a place for posed photos. Using your best angles, smiling and utilising only one chin. So I love to get a mixture of both. At the end of the day, these are your photos so you can tell me what you prefer.

When is the best time to book maternity pics?

There’s no hard and fast rule for this. Ideally, from 28 – 34 weeks, but I have photographed beautiful bellies from 17 weeks up to 39 weeks!


Ideally, you want to be big enough to have a sizable bump, but don’t want to be uncomfortably large or leave it too close to when you pop!

What do I wear?

The short answer: whatever you feel comfortable in!


Neutral, earthy-toned, flowy dresses photograph beautifully… but not everyone is a neutral or beige girly, and not everyone loves wearing dresses. My own wardrobe is full of bright colours and honestly looks like a clown exploded in it, so trust me: personality matters more than a colour chart.


Wear something that makes you feel confident, reflects who you are, and lets you move comfortably.


If you’re booking family photos, start with Mum’s outfit first and build everyone else’s look around that.


I also have a client closet for women and will give you guidance and styling advice to help you choose the perfect outfits for your session.


Do you have a client wardrobe?

I do have a client wardrobe, mostly with maternity pieces and newborn onesies, wraps and blankets!


You are welcome to try and borrow anything you like!

I hate being in front of the camera and I’m worried my kids will be turds.

Same! I’m awkward AF in front of the camera. It can feel a little uncomfortable for the first few mins having a stranger in your face with a big lens, but that icky feeling goes away so quick.

I love play based prompts for the kids and have extensive experience wrangling my own collection of kids. Everyone always says at the end of the shoot that they were surprised how comfortable they were!


How long will a photoshoot take?

For a maternity/couple shoot with 2 people I allow 45 – 60 mins. If you want a costume change, it will be closer to 60 mins.


For a family shoot, there are more moving parts and people to co-ordinate, so allow for 60 mins.


For a newborn shoot, allow up to 90 mins. This gives plenty of time for feeding, settling, and costume changes in case of poo-explosions (IYKYK)


Although if the light is amazing, everyone is in a good mood and not in a rush, I’ve been known to extend sessions for “one more pic” many times.


What if I need to reschedule?

Sh!t happens, I get it. I’m generally a pretty flexible person so will allow one reschedule. If you need to reschedule, just give me as much notice as possible (min 8 hrs) and we’ll find another date. If you decide to cancel your shoot all together, the non-refundable deposit (as the name suggests) is non-refundable.


There may be reasons that I will need to reschedule or suggest another day – if it’s super windy or pissing down rain (a novelty in the Pilbara!). Or if I’m sick, or have even the smallest inkling that I might have the sniffles, I will contact you to rebook.


I have a vision for a creative photoshoot. Can you help?

Absolutely! If you want a creative shoot and have a vision for something a bit out of the box, reach out! I love it when people have a vision, and I love a challenge!


Want a photo session doing mad tricks at the skate park? Sold

Want a photo shoot looking Shreddy Kruger at the gym? I got you.

Need some more feet pics for your foot finder account? Say no more

Want a photo with your rock collection? Shit I’ll probably do that one for free..


You bring the idea, and I’ll bring the banter (and probably a camera)
