FAQ'S

Where are you located & do you travel?

I am located in Ripley (Ipswich) where I have a home studio for newborn & cake smash sessions & a property where I shoot everything else. Outdoor newborn/cake smash sessions & indoor maternity can be accommodated to upon request.

At the moment, I have too many sessions booked closely together that I am unable to travel for sessions. For events, engagements & weddings, please contact me for location as a travel fee will occur.

what is included in the session fee?

So the session fee includes the deposit, exclusive use of our client gallery, the amount of images stated in the package you have purchased & the digital gallery presented to you once the session is complete.

Additional images are able to be purchased after the preview gallery has been sent.

Please note your session time is not secured until a deposit has been made.

What should we wear?

If you're not sure what to wear - dress in neutral tones (white, cream, brown, beige).

For the guys, cream chinos/light washed denim & a white/beige shirt look really nice.

For the girls, just a white/cream dress work nicely. You are also welcome to my client wardrobe which can be found on my website. For other sessions besides maternity, just message me as I have other dresses you are able to borrow for the session.

How do i dress my baby for a newborn session?

Unless you had a special little outfit or wrap you would like included in the session, just dress Bub in a onesie (without a singlet) & I will dress/wrap them in neutral tones once you have arrived.

How far ahead do I need to book my maternity session?

It is best to book your maternity session for between 30-37 weeks so then you are in full bloom mode & if you contact me to book in your session at the start of the second trimester which will give us plenty of time to ensure we have a spot available for you. Please don't leave til a couple weeks before as I only have a select amount of maternity sessions I am able to cater for every month.

HOW FAR AHEAD DO I NEED TO BOOK MY

newborn session?

It is best to book your newborn session as soon as you can & just let me know Bub's due date so we are able to find an available session time around then.

Please keep me updated if Bub arrives earlier so then we are able to move your session around.

Do I have to pay in full to secure my session time?

Absolutely not! I understand money can be tight & lots of things may come up at the same time that you also have to pay for but you don't want to miss out on a session time.

Just let me know & we will organise a payment plan for you. Full payment needs to be made before your session date.

Please note your session time is not secured until a deposit has been made.

What if my baby arrives early & I miss out on my maternity session?

This has absolutely happened before so do not stress! Babies make their way earthside when they feel like they can make it on their own & unfortunately we don't always know when that will be.

You are able to put your deposit towards a newborn session with me & pay the difference in whichever package you choose. If you already have a newborn session booked with me already or don't want to book a newborn session, I will be happy to refund you, however the $150 non-refundable deposit still applies.

What if I'm running late?

I absolutely don't mind if you are running late as long as you let me know prior to our session time. I completely understand it happens & a lot of my clients have kids & as a mum myself, I understand kids don't always make it easy to leave on time.

It's so fine! Just send me a message on 0466 509 600 & let me know you are running late! I would absolutely rather know you are going to be late to our session than you rock up half an hour later & I have left the property as I have not heard from you or am standing there when you arrive, left in an awkward position as you will need to pay a new deposit & perhaps change session times as you will forfeit your initial deposit & we may not have enough time/sunlight for your session.

So moral of the story - just message me & we will work something out!
