Where shall we have the session?

​

Our family sessions are usually held in your family favourite park, gardens, beach or in your home across Greater Melbourne and Mornington Peninsula suburbs.​

​

Where you hold your session depends on the look and feel you're going for. 

​

GARDENS - locations like botanical gardens and little lakes are great spots for a more manicured look often with pops of florals and diversity of foliage. There are usually some great benches to sit on,  and trees to stand in front of.

​

NATURE RESERVES - Do you prefer things a little more natural looking with more Aussie flora? Pick a nature reserve for bushy backdrops, wide stoney lanes, natural lakes and felled trees to perch on. 

​

BEACH - Beaches have an array of looks and feels. I know the coastline between Port Melbourne and Sorrento really well, and can suggest beaches depending on your desired look. Rocky backdrops, bush-backed beaches, fine whiter sand, big vast beaches, or maybe you love beach boxes. I know the perfect spots to suggest!

​

HOME - Your home can be such a great location for your session. A true and reflective slice of your family time in the location that you hang out the most. Plenty of opportunity for interactions if you love to throw a ball or just hang out in front of your favourite tree or grannies prize squash! We can go inside too for some shots in your lounge or on your bed, this works well with smaller kids.

•    Family Session​​ - $340 for 20 Digital Images See Packages

​

This session is great for small-medium families with children of all ages, who want some great family shots in a few locations, natural interactions caught on the fly, details & fun! ​Having worked as a natural light photographer for 15 years, I have honed my session to get the most from a 30 min timeslot. This is my most popular session.

​​​​​​​

​

•    50min Family session - $520 for 40 Digital Images See Packages

​

If you want a wider array of poses, locations, or have grandparents, I recommend choosing the longer session. This allows for a wider selection of images, and more moments & interactions, more details and more family group shot configurations.​

​​

​

How does it work?

​

Register for your session and I'll be in touch straight away to chat locations & book you in! I only do 2 weekends per month so get in as soon as you know you want a session... Especially as sometimes we need to rearrange due to weather.

Sessions are 7 days a week 10am-1pm.

​

​

Can you come on a weekend?

​​

Yes. Sessions are 7 days a week. I shoot every second weekend on the Saturday or the Sunday so book ASAP.

​

​

What does a typical session look like?

​

The session is 30 mins and very relaxed. My aim is to capture your time with your family in a natural, relaxed way, that is true to you and your families personalities. We'll make the most of your chosen location, be that your home, playground or gardens. Anything that you want in the photos, eg cricket bat, blanket etc... I love to incorporate. ​​

​

​

What about sickness?

​

We are fully vaccinated against COVID 19 & Whooping cough. We will never visit if we are all unwell. On the very rare occasion that we are sick, I will either arrange for Leni to cover your session, or I will rearrange.

​

​

​When can I view the images?

​

Your gallery will be online 1-5 days after your session.

When you purchase a package with digital images, you will be sent a link to download your images immediately. 

​

​

How do you edit the images?

​

As a documentary photographer I use composition and very subtle editing to enhance the mood of your images to tell your story naturally. I don't 'improve' my subjects appearances, as I truly believe we're all perfect. But if baby scratched their cheek or something similar, and you know it would bug you to look at, let me know during the shoot, and I can tone it down or remove it during editing. It's much more simple to do in the original edit than to come back to. If you get your gallery back and there's something that annoys you, like  cable on the wall or anything really, I can edit out lots of easy things, but if there's something more tricky, like an object needs to be removed that is directly behind a face, I may need to get this done by my editor. Jobs start at $25. 

 

​

When will I receive my order?

​

Digital images are available for download immediately after purchase. You will be sent an email with a link to download your images onto your laptop or computer. 

Fine Art Prints are printed at our expert lab in QLD, on beautiful paper using archival inks to last over 100 years. These take 1-5 working days to get to you. 

Our beautiful layflat Photobooks are printed on Matt photographic paper, boasting outstanding image quality and vibrant colours, with a smooth matt finish. Photobooks take 4-6 weeks for delivery.

 

​

What is documentary photography?

​

Documentary is visual storytelling. The session is very relaxed and super friendly, which will help you feel comfortable, and works really well with young big-siblings! Resulting in images that reflect actual moments in time & memories. ​​

​​

Are you vaccinated?

​

I am vaccinated against COVID-19 & up to date with my Whooping Cough and Influenza Vccines.
