Family

When you think about your family just as they are now, how do you want to remember them?

Is it how your youngest wraps their arms around your neck, nuzzling into you?

Or how your eldest can’t go anywhere without cartwheeling down the hallway?

These are the memories that matter to us most.

The magic caught within our everday.

the process

To book in your session, reach out on my contact form.

I’ll send you a questionnaire to get to know your family and a contract to sign.

A non-refundable fee of $150 is due at time of booking to secure your date. You don’t pay anything else until you’ve seen your images and love them.

Once you’ve chosen your date, I’ll call you to

choose a location that speaks to you
decide what to wear
work out where in your home you plan to display your artwork.
And I’ll give you some pointers to help make your session feel easy and fun

your session

It was a rush to get out the door – there was a lost shoe, a shirt not ironed and ‘hurry up, we’re running late.’

Take a deep breath…

You’re here now. Remember why you wanted these images in the first place.

Now look at the people who make up your family – the ones you’d do anything for. Your life, your loves.

And let the magic happen!

Honest, beautiful imagery happens when you connect with one another. Love on each other and I’ll be there to guide you when you need.

the photos

At the time of booking your portrait session, we’ll also book you in for a viewing appointment of your images.

Within 10 days of your session, I’ll invite you to my home to view your images for the first time and I’ll help you to design your artwork on the day.

Collections of artwork (three or more frames and canvas) range up to $3,200, digital packages start at $795.

Then it’s just a matter of waiting for your artwork to arrive!

the artwork

I take care of everything from the shoot itself to ordering the artwork to style your home.

Having a hard time visualising what it will look like? Simply take a photo of the wall you plan to hang artwork on and I’ll design the pieces for you.

Prints, albums and wall collections will arrive within eight weeks of your session.

Feel the love every time you look at your photos.
