Your session time will depend on what session type you’ve booked.

• Family Sessions are approximately 1 hour
• In-Studio Newborn Sessions are approximately 2-3 hours
• Extended Family Sessions are approximately 1-1.5 hours
• Mini Sessions are 15 minutes
• In Studio Baby Sessions are approximately 15-45 minutes
• Maternity and First Birthdays 30-45 minutes

Depending on your session type, we try to provide as many images to choose from as possible without making it an arduous process for you. A standard full-length family portrait session with at least three family members  (two parents and a child or one parent and two children) produces approximately 70+ photos.

Your 15-minute mini sessions produce approximately 30+ photos.

All sessions require a non-refundable session fee to reserve your date. After your session, you’ll buy the photos you love, in a format that works for your family.

Mini session fees are $49
Full experience session fees are $150

We will book you in for your ordering session at the conclusion of your photo session. This will depend on your availability and ours, but typically we have our clients return to the studio for their photo reveal approximately 1-4 weeks after the session date.

While it might feel easiest to go out and buy new outfits for everyone, there’s no need to – coordinating your outfits from the clothes you have in your wardrobe is perfectly acceptable. And they don’t have to be designer clothes!

The goal with your clothes is to ensure that they complement and aren’t distracting. Wear clothes that flatter your body and that make you feel comfortable and that you know your kids will be okay in.

For your Maternity & Studio Sessions, we have a large client wardrobe of flattering outfits for the whole family.

Choose a colour palette of 2 to 4 complementing colours that are going to suit the location.

We are very good at working with children with all sorts of attention spans, temperaments and energy levels and will always work to get the best out of your children whatever their mood. Our photo sessions are child-led with a focus on play, which works well for family members who are reluctant to have their photos taken. Sometimes it can take up to 5-15 minutes for children to appropriately warm up to someone they’ve just met but we are very good at connecting with kids and helping them to relax.

Absolutely, in every session, it is my goal to get photos of you looking and smiling at the camera as well as playful and interactive shots. However, if you’re more set on these traditional-looking photos, then it’s possible we may not be the right fit for you as our style of photography is to capture family connections through play-based prompts and have you interacting with each other and your environment.

Our studio is located in MacGregor. We have a number of locations already scouted in Canberra, to suit a variety of needs. We are constantly on the lookout for unique, special and beautiful locations that factor in good lighting and are tactile so that kids can explore and play easily. We have a range of locations that we will suggest after consultation with you based on your personal aesthetic and vision.  If a particular image of ours resonates with you, let us know, as certain images have been taken at certain locations and times of year.

Your session will be booked for 1-2 hours before the sun sets. Why? Because that’s when the lighting is soft, flattering and golden. The sun is low in the sky, which means there are no harsh shadows on people’s faces and we can get that gorgeous warm glow that will make your photos look magical. Morning Sessions are also available and will be booked for 1-2 hrs after the sun has risen.

For your comfort and mobility, we recommend your maternity shoot be at your 30-34 week mark.

For newborn sessions, you have a choice between a posed or lifestyle look or a blend of both. We recommend your baby be between 1-3 weeks if your preference is more posed or up to 6 weeks of age if you’re looking for a more lifestyle look.

Check out our terms and conditions regarding rescheduling to be across all of the details. We will absolutely accommodate you in the instance of genuine need - ie sickness.
