Frequently Asked Questions

Do you shoot weddings?

Hmmm! haha. Strictly speaking, I am not a firm no. I love weddings, they are fun, lively and I always get on the dance floor. They are a huge day and not my bread and butter, this means I do not have the capacity to take many on (partly due to my employment at Sydney Uni which is time consuming).
I do consider them though, so if you are eloping, having a registry wedding, or a small and simple intimate affair, don't be afraid to reach out. I do love a good wedding, I have shot more than 20 of them to date and if you truly love my photography, then I know you have considered the investment and my style. Drop me a line to see and if I cannot help, I will point you in the right direction.

Do I have to choose my photos?

If you really do not wish to choose the photos I edit, please let me know as early as possible. I can narrow it down to the number you prefer so you just get them delivered in their complete form.

I am on a small budget, but I really want photos of this special time in my life

Little ones do not stay little. I started photography out of my love for documenting people, not to make money. If you genuinely cannot afford my package prices, there are options. You could consider jumping in on a seasonal mini session (there are from 4 a year depending on demand), and they are a lower fee for those not wanting to spend a lot. You could go in with a sibling or friend to pair up your kids in a mini (half price each). You could keep an eye out for one of my discounted sale session fees (50% off at different times of the year, saves about $100). Or you could consider a payment plan (see next FAQ)

Do you have payment plans?

Absolutely. I am completely aware that you may be off work right now looking after little ones. This puts pressure on hubby and means that you may feel guilty asking to spend money when you haven't been earning. I seriously get it :-) Sit down, have a good chat, talk about the investment, work out the why and the significance of having these and when you're both ready, let me know. I am not fussed if your payment plan goes on for 6-12 months! Honestly. My smallest full priced session is $1.50 a day for a year hehe. So just drop me a message and I can work it out with you. The photos would be delivered upon completion of your gallery.

Can I order prints through you?

Yes! Absolutely and please. I use a beautiful family run lab out of Adelaide. Whether the prints are for you or a loved one, they have a large range of options. I am happy to quote a pack based on your choices and there is no commitment for an enquiry. Prices start at $50 for 5 medium prints delivered.

Can you help me make a photo book?

Sure, I use blurb. I am obsessed with them. I can do a layout that is classic and simple for you and really makes your images pop. Just let me know and based on the number of images being used, I can let you know the price.

I have a significant location in mind, can we go there?

I select my locations based on lots of practice and time spent learning the light and surrounds. This ensures a beautiful and efficient use of light. In saying that, I have spent thousands of hours photographing at all different places at all different times of day. Let me know what spot you have in mind and I can work on making it work. Or I will be honest, and suggest a better location. Significant places should definitely be considered, but not every spot is ideal. I promise to be thoughtful and considerate.

Do you shoot births?

I would LOVE to. The problem is that I have young children and work 4 days a week at the uni. So for the majority of births, I cannot guarantee my availability.
In saying that, if you want a birth photographer, I have a brilliant one I can recommend. Or if you are indifferent if it doesn't work but love the idea of having it documented, then get in touch. Basically, if I can make it, I will be there. If I cannot, I will refund in full or move your payment towards a fresh 48 or newborn session. I truly love birth and would love to be there for you, if it is meant to be.

Do you shoot events?

Not really. I have in the past but it is hard on my family for me to be out over the weekend for long periods. Again, if you love my work and do not have an alternative photographer, get in touch and I can see what I can do. If I cannot help, I have some wonderful talents that I can recommend.

Do you sell gift vouchers?

Yes, absolutely. They have a 12 month expiry and can be purchased to the value of your choice. A perfect idea for valentines day, birthdays or anniversaries.
