We aim to keep thing's lighthearted, relaxed and natural. As parents ourselves, we understand that children don't particularly want to be 'forced' to stay put, especially when visiting a beautiful location. A relaxed parent is a relaxed child, and we aim to create a space to allow the action to unfold naturally, without stress, to capture those little personalities as they are today. It also encourages a positive authentic experience for the whole family, rather than forced imagery.

In the lead up to your session, we will be monitoring the weather forecast for Melbourne. 
If it seem's likely to rain we can either reschedule to another date as soon as possible, or we can go ahead with your session depending on what will be in the best interests of your children. 
Some kids love the rain and will be off running around having a blast - which will be super fun to create memorable photographs with. However some kids will find it uncomfortable. 
We will be guided by what you would be most happy with in the end. 

We allow for a 2-3 week time frame for turnaround of images. We aim to post a 'sneak peak' from your session on our Social Media platforms as a little teaser for you within 24 hours from your shoot. This is awesome as you are able to share the image immediately to show it off to all of your family and friends! 

Your wardrobe choice's for your family is one of the more important decisions for your Photo shoot. This will create the overall aesthetic feel for your images. It is also extreemely important to us too. That's why we have come up with a beautiful mood board of ideas on what to wear to your session. This will be sent to you upon booking and we will be able to help you plan your outfits in accordance to the location we decide upon. It's rather easy to do once you see it all as you can work out the best colours, textures and styles to suit your family best. 

Your Family Photo Session is for up to 5 immediate family members. Of course you can bring along extra relatives, or perhaps you are a larger family of 5+, in that case extra people in your shoot are an additional $40 per person.

Of course! In fact, we encourage you to bring along your extra little furry family member/s - whatever they may be!

We aim to photograph at 'Golden Hour' which is one hour prior to sunset. We shoot 2 weekday evenings and have occasional spaces open on weekends to accommodate those super busy week day families. We do not charge additional rates for Weekends.
Golden Hour is chosen as it gives a beautiful warm glow to your images which adds depth and emotion. However if you would prefer during the morning light this can also be accommodated for on weekends. Morning Sessions start at 9am.  

Location's range across Melbourne and include the beach front, back beach, and the beautiful Dandenong Ranges. We charge an additional travel fee over 40km's from Ringwood at $35 per half hour. 

Your Private Online Gallery will be open for 1 week after being published to you. 
Your chosen images will be shown at my end and we will go from there in getting your package together. If left longer than 1 week, the gallery will be closed and will incur a $25 re uploading fee.

Yes! We have full Public Liability Insurance. 

The short answer? Yes! If you want to throw in a beautiful portrait where you are all looking at the camera (these family photo's are real 'grandparent' pleaser's) then that's what we will do! Worried it won't happen? We will use some of our special 'tactics' to encourage children's co-operation. However relaxed gently posed portraits are more what we will be focusing on, and letting that magic unfold organically.
