Memories of a lifetime

I'm so glad you're here.


If you've made it to this page it's because you know how precious time is. You want to freeze these moments before they become just a memory. You want to be able to look back and remember what this season of life was like and all of its little details.


This is why I know you're in the right place. We already have something in common. By the end of this experience you never feel like 'clients' or 'customers', it feels like we're friends. That's why I have so many clients return and when they do, it feels like catching up as if no time has passed. More importantly though, I want you to use this time to switch off from the busyness of life and just enjoy quality time with the ones who mean most to you.


Let me tell you a bit more about our time together...

Locations



I will absolutely guide you in this process. I have a wonderful list of tried and tested locations that I can recommend to suit your session. Sometimes, there's just no place like home but I'll leave that choice up to you.

Guidance



I'm not going to get you to pose because I want your images to feel real and natural but I will give you plenty of gentle guidance so that you don't feel lost or awkward. If I'm not saying anything it's because you're doing an amazing job. All you have to do is relax and enjoy this time and I'll take care of the rest. I got you.

The Process

Your 7 Step Booking Guide


01 - ENQUIRY

When you send through an enquiry, I'll get back to you with some availability options. If you're ready, click here.


02 - SAY YES!

Once you've decided on a date, you'll receive a confirmation email that will guide you through booking with a $200 retainer, contract and a detailed questionnaire to help me get to know you better. Then we can begin the fun stuff!


03 - PREP BEGINS

You will be sent some information on how to prepare for your session including wardrobe guidance and any additional information that may have come up in your questionnaire.


04 - A WEEK BEFORE YOUR SESSION

I'll send you a little reminder (because life gets busy) and we'll touch base on any final details.


05 - YOUR SESSION

This is the best part. I'll send you a message 24 hours prior confirming all details, weather and to make sure you have everything ready. We get to meet and I'll get to capture some magical moments for you!


06 - GALLERY DELIVERY

The moment you've been waiting for and the moment I wish I could see! This is where you get to relive the experience all over again. It's also the fun part where you get to choose all your favourite images. Turn around time is between 2-3 weeks depending on the season.


07 - PRINTS & ALBUMS

Your images are too beautiful to stay on your devices. They need to be displayed on the wall and put in their pride of place in your home. Luckily, you can order prints directly from your gallery, straight to your door with just the click of a finger.

be rested and fed

This applies to both children and adults! You're not you when you're hungry! If you've got children in your session, it's important to get food in their tummies. For sunset sessions, you can have pjs ready to change into in the car. Feel free to bring some emergency snacks, keep them hidden and we'll only bring them out if we need to.

be prepared

Aim to arrive early. I don't want you to feel rushed, I'd love your session to be relaxed and fun! Have everything prepared and the car packed well in advance, and any loose things you need in a bag so I can carry them for you.

let go

Just focus on each other and the nature around you and you'll instantly feel more present. Listen, smell, touch, be in the moment.

Enjoy the break from your phone, just be together.

Let go of perfection. My favourite moments are the ones where we're not all looking at the camera, they're real moments of love, joy, craziness. You want to look back and remember how you felt, not just how you looked.
