How it works
My philosophy
I’m all about making your photoshoot an experience to remember. My goal is to make you feel comfortable, relaxed, and completely present with your loved ones – because that’s when the best photos happen. I guide you every step of the way, from location and wardrobe advice to weather checks, so that you don’t have to worry about a thing.
During the shoot, my approach is simple: I direct you into the best light and guide you with simple activities and gentle prompts that help you to engage, feel natural and forget the camera is even there.

1. Say hi
When you’re ready, fill in the contact form with your preferred date, time, and location. Tell me a little bit about your vision and who will be involved in the shoot. Don’t stress if you’re not sure yet—we’ll figure it out together! I’ll get back to you with my availability, a contract, and an invoice to lock it in.
Easy peasy!

The big day is here! Whether we’re chasing sunsets, splashing in the ocean, snuggling at home or showcasing your brand, it’s all about having a blast and capturing your unique magic.

Your questions, answered
What if I feel awkward in front of the camera?
Totally normal! Most people feel awkward for the first 10 minutes, but by the end, you’ll be rocking it. I’ll guide you, offer direction if needed, or hang back for candid moments—whatever works best for you. Just come with an open mind and a sense of fun. Let’s embrace the laughs, the mess, and all the real moments.
Do you travel?
Absolutely! I love a good adventure. Whether it's a dreamy destination wedding or a remote brand shoot, I'm happy to pack my bags. I'm based on the Mornington Peninsula. Travel over 45 minutes may incur a fee.
How long does a session last?
Family sessions are usually 60-90 minutes. Maternity or couples? About 45 minutes. Newborn shoots take up to 2 hours—plenty of time for snuggles and feeds. Campaign shoots vary depending on the project, but we’ll plan a timeline tailored to your needs. Wedding packages range from a few hours for intimate ceremonies to full-day coverage for capturing every magical moment.
When is the best time for a photoshoot?
Golden hour is magic—dawn or an hour before dusk for outdoor shoots. For indoor sessions, pick a time when your home gets the best natural light. Not sure? We’ll figure it out together!
What happens if it rains?
I’ll be keeping a close watch on the weather and tide apps leading up to your shoot and will stay in touch to make sure we choose the best time and location. It’s helpful to pick a week when you can be flexible, just in case we need to adjust the timing or day. Cloudy skies can add a beautiful vibe, but if heavy rain or storms are on the horizon, we’ll reschedule for a better day
Where should we shoot?
Home or the great outdoors—it’s up to you! I have fave beach spots, but I’m happy to explore a location that’s special to you. For branding or creative sessions, we can brainstorm unique, memorable places that align with your story and vision. Weather and lighting play a big role, so we’ll finalise the location closer to the date to ensure it’s perfect.
What if I'm sick?
If you’re feeling unwell, let me know as soon as possible. We can reschedule your session to a day when you’re feeling better—your health and comfort are important to me! Rescheduled sessions will aim to happen within the week, but if not, we’ll find a time later in the month that works for you.
When will I get my photos?
Your photos will be delivered in 2-3 weeks. Weddings will receive a sneak peek within 48 hours, with the full gallery ready within 6 weeks.
Can I request editing changes or RAW images?
I don’t offer RAW images, as they don’t reflect the finished work that represents my style. However, if you’d like additional retouching or specific edits, I’m happy to discuss this. Please note, additional retouching requests will incur a retouching fee, as my time and expertise are valuable. Thank you for understanding!
What is your style?
My style is all about celebrating the imperfect—the raw, unfiltered moments that make your story truly special. I focus on natural light, earthy tones, and candid connections to create images that feel real and timeless. Whether it’s a playful family session, a heartfelt wedding, or a bold branding shoot, I aim to capture the essence of your unique story with a touch of creativity and authenticity.
Who do you recommend for printing photos?
I have partnered with a premium Australian printer, offering stylish photo albums, beautiful framed prints, and a range of other products to bring your photos to life. This is available through your online gallery. If you’d like other options, I’m happy to recommend some other printers
