Someday you'll be wishing you could have these days all over again. 

That tiny little hand in yours, those adoring eyes looking up at you, the chubby thighs sitting on your lap, it’s all fleeting. One day you’ll wonder how it all went by so quickly. You’ll pull out your family albums and reminisce about the days that seemed so long but were gone in the blink of an eye. You’ll talk about all the things you miss and your heart will ache to have those sweet moments all over again.

Viewing and ordering your portraits

How do you want to enjoy your images? When you receive your carefully curated viewing gallery I recommend you start by getting the whole family together to watch your slideshow, then you’ll be able to select your favourite images for your digital package and choose from a variety of prints, custom frames, fine art albums or a combination of all three.

Most asked questions

As soon as you’re ready! I only offer a limited number of sessions per month so I can make sure each of my clients is well taken care of.

I’m located in Spring Farm, NSW and I photograph all over Macarthur and surrounding areas, but if you have a particular location in mind, get in touch – I’m always up for an adventure!

This is something we’ll chat about during your planning process. You’ll receive a style guide with lots of tips on what to/not to wear to achieve a beautiful gallery of images.

I allow around 60 minutes for family sessions however most little ones start to fade around the 40 minute mark. I’ll try to capture as much magic as we can while the kids are happy.

I’ve got you! I’ll help guide you so you aren’t left feeling awkward, but the main thing is that you relax and be present in the moment. You already know how to be a family together – I’m just here to capture that!

I tend to take a lot of images so I can make sure I get just the right shot. In your final gallery you will be presented with approximately 40 of the absolute best images hand edited for you to choose from.

You’ll receive an email with a link and password to your private online gallery around 2 weeks after your session. eeek! 

I always recommend watching the slideshow with your family first to relive all the magic of your session before you dive into choosing your favourite images!

Your session booking fee is $200 and is payable on booking to secure your date in my calendar. 

Your session fee does not include any prints, products or digital files, these are purchased after you receive your viewing gallery.

Sessions take place on Wednesday through Friday and most of my clients take a personal day so they don’t feel rushed getting ready for the session (plus it’s a way better excuse for a day off than a trip to the dentist!)

Weekend sessions are generally reserved for my own family, however I do offer limited weekend dates throughout the year but these do sell out quickly.
