Memories

Blink and you’ll miss it.

 

“The time with our children is so fleeting; the days are long but the years are short. They are changing constantly - yet such is the mystery of parenthood that you are always watching them but all of a sudden they are grown up, or a little more grown - a little taller, more conscious, more independent - and you feel like you have blinked and missed it.”

Still Confused? Here’s a Step by Step Guide

Click through each step to see how it all works

  • Choose a session

    You have 2 types of sessions to choose from

    Family Portraits ($450) - This is the most popular option. It captures the essence of a family, with a focus on authentic, organic moments.

    Everyday Magic ($1800) - This is a more documentary style approach, with a 6 hour time frame instead of 90 minutes. I’ll come in and join your family for half a day and capture the simple, mundane moments that happen on a regular day. Think of it as an insight to your everyday family life.

    The session fee only covers time for photography.
    You will receive a slideshow (valid for 24 hours) to help you decide how many photos you want to receive based on the collection choices.
    Alternatively, you can choose your collection at the time of booking if that’s easier for you.

  • The Photography Session

    Once you are ready to book in a session, let me know and we can schedule in a date & time that works best for both our schedules.

    You can read up on tips on how to prepare for the photography session here.

  • Slideshow Preview (available for 24 hours)

    2-3 weeks after the photography session, you will receive a link to the slideshow.

    The slideshow is a preview of your session.
    I’d encourage you to gather your family together to view the slideshow - the first viewing is always the most magical.

    Your slideshow will be available for 24 hours from the first time you open it and will be available to be viewed as many times as you wish until the expiry period.

    The slideshow will give you an insight to which collection you would like to purchase, if you haven’t already done so.

  • Choose your Collection

    Now that you’ve watched the slideshow, it’s time to choose which collection you would like.

    Display Collection ($700) - the most popular option. This collection will give you access to download all the images (80+) and also includes a sizeable print credit of $100, which can be used in the online store. You will also be able to download the slideshow.

    Basic Collection ($400) - this would be the most budget friendly option. The viewing gallery will host all the images but will be watermarked. You can choose 10 of your favourite images to download in high resolution, watermarked-free. This collection will also include a small print credit of $50 to use within the online store to help with bring the 10 chosen images to life. The slideshow is not included in this collection.

    Album Collection ($1500) - the ultimate option, the luxury choice. This collection is exactly like the Display Collection, but comes with an addition of a 10” x 10” Fine Art album and a generous print credit of $300 to use within the online store.

  • Access your Personalised Viewing Gallery and Online Store

    Once you’ve paid for the collection, you will receive full access to your viewing gallery and online store.
    You will be able to download your images in full resolution.
    You will have access to the online store, which offers artisanal products such as handmade prints and bespoke frames.

FAQ

  • One of us have fallen sick, can we reschedule?

    Yes of course!
    I have children myself so I know how easy is it for kids to bring home all kinds of germs and viruses. I’d ask that you let me know at least 24 hours ahead of time so I can make appropriate changes to my schedule as well.

  • 90 mins seems short for a session. Is it enough?

    In my experience, most young children can’t last more than 90 mins without losing their cool. And most older kids (and even some adults!) would probably be bored if the session went on longer than this.

    If you were after a more relaxing, documentary option, I would recommend the Everyday Magic package.

  • I would like to include my extended family in the session

    As the saying goes, it takes a village to raise a family. Feel free to get your extended family in on the action for an extra $30 per extended family member.
    My aim is to capture the authentic moments in a parent-child relationship, so we generally focus on that for the majority of the session. Children can get overwhelmed or distracted when there are too many people around, so I’d ask that extended family to only join towards the end of the session.

  • I would like to bless someone with a gift voucher

    What an amazing idea!
    I can provide you an e-voucher and will contact the recipient to arrange a date and time to schedule a session. I generally recommend purchasing the Family Portraits + Basic Collection as a gift (they can always upgrade to the Display Collection once they see the slideshow)

    If you are on a budget, you can just purchase the Family Portraits session, but remember that they will only receive the custom slideshow for 24 hours, but they can always purchase a collection themselves in order to receive something tangible.

  • What can I purchase with the print credit?

    The most professional and finest print lab in Australia is attached to the online store where you can use your print credit. They offer artisanal, premium print products such as photos, frames, cards, etc. You can have a look at a sample gallery & what the online store offers here.

    For clients outside of Australia, if you prefer not to have the print credit, you can trade it in for half the value. Eg $100 Print Credit = $50 off collection price

  • The weather forecast is not looking good. Should we reschedule?

    If the forecast is not looking great, we can definitely reschedule.
    At the end of the day, I want to be able to provide you with the best images, which means having good light as well. I’d ask that we reschedule at least 24 hours in advance.

Interested in having your session photographed in Film?

CLICK BELOW FOR THE FILM PACKAGE

More than any other medium - film embodies imperfection, surrender, and serendipity entwined. It calls us to embrace the present moment, fostering mindfulness and slowing our hurried steps. In its embrace, we court the whims of luck, the hand of fate and the universal energy of gods of photography and destiny.
