the experience
STYLE
My photography style is elegant and timeless. As a portrait photographer I love an image that tells a story and stirs the emotions.
SCHEDULING
If you are interested in my work please get in touch as soon as possible. We can have a chat about what it is you would love to have created for you and we can look at availability. The earlier the better so we can ensure you can have the date or time frame that is best suited to your schedule.
Maternity sessions are best captured between 30 and 35 weeks. Feel free to contact me as soon as possible to book your maternity portrait session.
CONSULTATION
We will arrange a convenient time to talk either in person or over the phone. During this consultation I will ask a range of questions to find out more about you and get a feel for what you are about and how you would like to be photographed. What images you are drawn to from my gallery and how we can create something that is just for you with your style preference in mind.
We will also discuss wardrobe and get into the exciting details of planning it out together. I will give you recommendations' of where to buy, borrow or you can hire some incredible pieces through Mama Rentals. As one of my clients you will receive 15% discount on any hire, once you have booked your session. They have some truly beautiful gowns and robes that can take your photos to the next level and are available for every woman, expecting or not. They also pride themselves, as do I, as a sustainable and zero waste business.

THE PORTRAIT SESSION
Your session can take place either at my home studio or at an outdoor location of your choice. If you are not sure of anywhere I can offer some suggestions so we can achieve an end product that you will fall in love with. Throughout your whole session I will guide you through different poses, wardrobe styling and create multiple variations for you to select your final images from. I will ensure you feel comfortable, beautiful and empowered in front of the camera.
RETOUCHING
Professional photo retouching is included in your session. The focus is to keep a natural look whilst also emphasizing your natural, unique beauty. If you prefer no retouching or have any other concerns we can discuss this at your consultation.
REVEAL/VIEWING SESSION
You will be invited to a reveal session with me within two weeks after your shoot date. You will be treated to a beautiful cinematic viewing experience of your images from the session. I can assure you only the best have been selected to be presented to you.
You will love that moment when you get to see your beautiful portrait images and you will also get to choose the ones you love.
You are welcome to purchase from the A La Carte menu or from one of the beautiful packages I can offer to you as discussed in your consultation.
If you have any requests regarding your images this will be the time to bring it up and we can work with any requests you may have.
If I don't take the best images you have ever seen of yourself, you don't have to buy them. Simple!
PRODUCT COLLECTION
If you choose to make any purchases at your reveal session I will ensure that your products and prints are printed and or framed at a quality and professional lab and will be completed and ready for collection within one to two weeks of your reveal session.
