Frequently asked questions
After the shoot, I will carefully select and edit the best photos from the session. You will receive a sneak peak of your session within the first 48 hours. I aim to deliver the final photos within 3 weeks after the shoot, depending on the season and workload. Once the photos are ready, I will send them to you via an online gallery.
Throughout the year I may offer mini sessions. These sessions are offered at a smaller cost, with less photos. It’s a perfect opportunity if you’re on a budget and want to make sure you update those yearly family photos.

I recommend coordinating outfits rather than matching perfectly. Choose complementary colours and styles that reflect your family's personality. Feel free to ask me for styling advice too.
Absolutely! Incorporating props or personal items can add a unique touch to your photos. Let me know in advance, and we can discuss how to best incorporate them into the session.
Children being shy or restless is completely normal during a photoshoot. I have experience working with kids and know how to engage them in a fun and friendly way. Patience is key, and we'll take breaks as needed to ensure everyone is comfortable.
Of course! Pets are family too. Just let me know in advance, so we can plan accordingly and make sure everyone is included in the session.
I offer both outdoor and indoor sessions, depending on your preference. I can suggest locations that suit your family's style, or we can work in a setting that holds sentimental value to you.
Weather can be unpredictable, but don't worry! We can reschedule the session for a better day or explore indoor alternatives. Your comfort and the quality of your photos are my top priorities.
The perfect time for maternity photos is between 26-34 weeks. You want your bump to be fully showing, but you don’t want to be so close to your due date that you are uncomfortable, or risk delivering before you make it to your session! Its best to book your session as soon as possible.
Ideally, I like to do newborn sessions within the first few weeks or so after birth (Between 7-15 days). When baby is still very sleepy, squishy, and easily goes into very curled up poses because the mimic the positioning in the womb. However, I say no time is too late to capture precious moments of your beautiful little one. I’ve had babies that are 6 weeks that have slept their whole session and younger ones that have been wide awake.
