GOOD QUESTION

Booking

When should I book my maternity photoshoot?


30-34 weeks is the sweet spot - bump's fully there and you're still comfy enough to enjoy it. Lock it in from 12 weeks so you get your pick of dates.

When should I book my newborn photoshoot?


Book by 12 weeks pregnant. We'll pencil in a date around your due date and move it once baby arrives. Sessions happen in the first 2-3 weeks for those sleepy, curly newborn shots, or around 6 weeks for extra squish and smiles.

How do I book?


Get in touch here and tell me a little about you. I'll email + text you a few date options (usually the same day), you reply with your fave, and I'll send your booking form. Sign, pay your deposit and your date is officially yours.

How much does a session cost?

Sessions start from $500 - every edited image included. See pricing.

Do you offer payment plans?


Yes. Your deposit secures your date, and the rest is due a week before your session. Need it split differently? Just ask.

Do you offer gift vouchers?


I do! Any amount, beautifully packaged with a little gift - or sent digitally if you're cutting it fine (no judgement). Delivered personally throughout Geelong or post for a fee.

The session

I've never had a photoshoot before. Help?


You're in the right place. No stiff poses, no awkward silence. I'll give you simple prompts and games to play, then let the real moments happen. Most people forget I'm even there.

What if my kids don't cooperate?


Kids are allowed to be kids - the wiggles, the tantrums and the cheeky grins all make the best photos. I've got a bag of tricks (and possibly bribes) to win them over.

What time of day will we shoot?


Studio and home sessions are usually in the morning, when little ones are at their best. Outdoor sessions are at golden hour - just after sunrise or the hour before sunset - for that soft, glowy light.

Where will we go?


Your choice of my natural light studio on Little Malop Street, your home, or a beach, field or favourite spot across Geelong, the Surf Coast and the Bellarine within 30 minutes of Geelong. I know which spots work best. Further afield (hello, Melbourne)? Let's chat - a travel fee may apply.

Can we bring the dog?


Absolutely - pets are welcome at outdoor sessions. They can't come into the studio, sorry fur babies.

Do you do extended family sessions?


Yes! Grandparents, cousins, the whole crew - up to 12 people, at home or outdoors. Bigger group? Just ask.

Do you run mini sessions?


Milestone sessions can be booked to suit your dates or I run seasonal mini days a few times a year - short, sweet and perfect for updating your photos. They're announced to my email list first, so jump on it to hear about them before they book out.

What else do you photograph?


Milestones and cake smashes, couples, motherhood, personal and team branding, celebrations and events, plus elopements and intimate weddings. Tell me what you've got in mind.

Styling

What should we wear?


Good news: it's basically sorted. You get full access to my client wardrobe - 40+ styled pieces for mums, plus dads, kids and a full newborn wardrobe. Prefer your own clothes? I'll help you pull it all together. You'll also get my prep guide once you've booked.

After your session

When will I get my photos?


Your edited online gallery lands in your inbox within 3-4 weeks.

Do you offer sneak peeks or a quick turnaround?

No, I don't offer sneak peeks to allow me to share the excitement in one exciting hit. A rush fee can be applied if needed.

Can I order prints?


Yes. Your gallery links to a print store where you can preview your favourites as prints, frames and wall art before you order.
