FAQ
WHEN DO I PAY THE REST?
A week before your session. Bump + Baby is split into three, Milestones are paid in full at booking. Need a payment plan? Just ask. (10% off applies to all sessions except Minis and Milestones.)
WHY DO NEWBORN SESSIONS COST MORE?
Newborns run on their own schedule, so I allow up to 2 hours for feeds, cuddles and settling - nobody’s rushed. Plus the full newborn wardrobe, props, and extra care in the edit. And safe hands? I’ve raised three of my own.
WHAT IF BABY IS EARLY OR LATE?
We move your date. No drama, no fees - that's the whole point of booking ahead.
WHAT IF THE WEATHER TURNS OR SOMEONE IS ILL?
We reschedule. Happy, healthy humans and decent weather make for way better photos.
Is travel included?
Travel within 30 minutes of Geelong is included. Further afield? I’m still very keen (did someone say Paris?!) - a small travel fee applies, and I’ll always let you know upfront.
I’M AWKWARD IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. HELP?
You and almost everyone else before we get started, including me! I’ll guide you the whole way - where to stand, what to do with your hands, and plenty of silly prompts to get real laughs. By the end you’ll forget I’m even taking your photo. (Reluctant husbands welcome. They usually end up loving it.)
CAN WE BRING OUR DOG?
Um, yes please! Bring a lead, some treats and check the location guide to make sure pets are allowed. I’ll bring the cuddles.
WHAT’S YOUR AVAILABILITY LIKE?
I keep a limited number of sessions each week so every family gets my full attention. Dates can go quickly, especially for newborns, so book as early as you can. Last minute? Ask anyway - I’ll always try to squeeze you in.
DO YOU USE PHOTOSHOP OR AI?
Every image is edited by me, by hand. I’ll tidy temporary things like grazes or a stray bin, but I never change who you are.
