I primarily photograph in Perth’s many beautiful outdoor locations, including picturesque parks, scenic spots along the Swan River, and iconic beaches like Cottesloe. These natural settings provide perfect backdrops for timeless family portraits. If you prefer an indoor setting, I also offer studio sessions upon request, providing a classic and controlled environment for your portraits. Let’s discuss the best location to suit your vision!

Most sessions run between 1 to 2 hours, depending on your family size and the type of portraits you’d like. Larger groups, including children, grandparents, and pets, may require extra time to ensure everyone is comfortable and captured beautifully. I also allow time for creativity, ensuring we get a variety of natural, relaxed, and timeless portraits. I also look for the various combinations of parents and children together.

I recommend coordinating outfits rather than matching exactly. Choose colours that complement each other and suit the location—soft, natural tones work well in parks, while light, airy colours are great for the beach. Avoid solid black at the beach, as it can appear too harsh against the bright sand and water. Most importantly, wear something comfortable and flattering so you can relax and enjoy the session!

    • Feel free to bring snacks, drinks, and any props you’d like to incorporate into the photos. Toys or activities can be helpful for younger children. And a lead for your furry friend.

 

    • It’s best to book your session at least a few weeks in advance, especially during peak seasons. A prepaid booking fee secures the date for you.

Booking is easy! We’ll start with a brief consultation to discuss your vision and preferences. I offer photography packages to suit different needs, and you can secure your session with a 30% deposit on the lowest package. Once booked, I’ll send you a contract and a questionnaire to gather details about who will be photographed, ensuring a smooth and personalised experience.

    • I accept various payment methods, typically including cash, and bank transfer.

Yes, I offer four digital photography packages designed to suit different needs and budgets. Each package includes a selection of high-quality digital images, with the option to purchase prints and wall art separately. You can view the packages on my website, or contact me for a detailed price list. There’s no obligation to proceed after receiving the full pricing information.

    • I understand unexpected events happen! Please try to reschedule as soon as you know something’s wrong. Best to make another booking if someone is unwell.

Start by choosing outfits that make you feel comfortable and confident. Coordinate colours and styles rather than matching exactly—lay your clothes out a few days before to see how they work together. Taking the time to get your clothing right makes a huge difference to the final results.

On the day, come ready to relax and enjoy a fun-filled session. My goal is to create a comfortable, easygoing atmosphere where everyone feels at ease, allowing for natural and timeless portraits.

    • I have experience working with children and use a relaxed and playful approach to capture their natural smiles and expressions. Don’t worry, we can always incorporate fun activities to break the ice. The less pressure, the better.

    • Absolutely! Pets are welcome in most locations, but please check with me beforehand to ensure it’s suitable for your chosen setting.  Bring a lead to maintain control of your dog, bearing in mind other people may walk into our area.

    • Of course! Be creative. I encourage open communication and collaboration. Feel free to share your ideas and preferences during the consultation or at the shoot itself.

You’ll be able to view the results within two days in a personalised presentation of all the best, curated images. This session allows you to see your portraits at their best and choose your favourites for digital files, prints, or wall art.

Yes, your portraits undergo hours of careful editing before you see the final results. I enhance each image with colour correction, lighting adjustments, and minor blemish removal to ensure everyone looks their best. Additional retouching is available upon request. Clients love the subtle, natural enhancements that bring out the best in every portrait while keeping everyone looking like themselves. You’ll first see your beautifully curated images in a personalised purchase presentation, where they are showcased at their absolute finest.

NO! Sorry, it is a distraction for everyone in front of my camera and I usually don’t notice wandering eyes at the time. I need to focus as do my subjects and my experience shows that extra cameras cause problems.
