How do payments work?

I prefer payments via bank transfer.

Do you require a deposit?

Yes, a non-refundable booking fee of $100 is required to secure your session slot.

How are your prices calculated?

The price reflects not only the time spent and expertise capturing the images during the session but also the time editing images, and use of high-quality equipment and tools.

Additionally:

  • Marketing costs, including advertising and website maintenance
  • Education and professional development expenses ensure staying updated with the latest techniques and trends.
  • Accounting and administrative costs, such as bookkeeping and insurance, contribute to running the business.
  • Props and accessories for personalised sessions
  • Travel expenses, like fuel or accommodation costs, are considered if applicable.


Ultimately, the price reflects the value of receiving high-quality images and personalised service tailored to your preferences.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes I do, I'm happy to discuss those individually. All payment must be paid before receiving your photos.

When is the payment due?

A non-refundable booking fee of $50 will be due upon booking the photo session.

The rest will be due before you receive your photos.

What if I don't have anything to wear?

No worries at all. Please get in touch with me and we can go through a selection of my clients' wardrobe.

Can I change outfits during the photo session?

Yes, of course. Bringing more than one outfit will enhance the variety of your photos as well. However, please be aware that changing into multiple outfits will eat into your session time.

Can I bring pets?

Yes, pets are family and they are most welcome! Please let me know ahead of time, that's all.

What should I / we wear for the session?

I suggest choosing clothing with minimal or no patterns, as well as opting for white and natural colours, as they enhance your presence in the photographs. If you're uncertain about what to wear, feel free to contact me for guidance. Additionally, I provide access to a carefully curated client wardrobe.

What should I bring to a session?

Once you've booked your photo session with me, you'll receive a comprehensive pre-shoot manual, addressing everything you need to know, including what to bring and what to wear. When it comes to outfits, I suggest considering your attire or multiple options if you're keen on changing throughout the session—feel free to coordinate outfits for your family, or let each individual's unique style shine. I'm more than happy to connect with you beforehand to assist in selecting the perfect outfits. If you're unsure about what to wear, don't worry—I have a curated selection of wardrobe items available for clients to browse. Additionally, here's a list of other items you might want to bring:

  • Refreshments, especially if we're shooting outdoors
  • Makeup for touch-ups, along with a brush and towel (particularly if we're shooting near water)
  • A change of clothes
  • Any additional items that complement the theme of the shoot (e.g., a ball game if children are joining the session).
What happens when there is bad weather forecasted?

As long as it's not stormy or hailing, it's usually still perfectly great weather for photographs. However, I'm happy to reschedule if this doesn't fit into your vision for your photos.

How do you deal with children during a session?

Children hold a special place in my heart when I'm behind the camera. Before snapping a single shot, my priority is to establish a genuine connection with them, ensuring they understand who I am and what I aim to capture. My focus is on creating an atmosphere where they can genuinely enjoy themselves, allowing their authentic selves to shine through in the photos. When they're having fun and feeling relaxed, the magic happens, resulting in truly remarkable photographs. I delight in following their lead, embracing their creativity and spontaneity throughout the session.

What kind of sessions do you offer?
  • Newborn
  • Maternity
  • Family
  • Couple
  • Cake Smash
  • Milestones
  • Any awesome ideas you have, e.g. treasure hunt

When do photo sessions usually take place?

For newborn sessions, this depends on your baby's schedule but usually mornings work wonderfully for at home newborn sessions.

For family and couple sessions outdoors we would look at golden hour times in the morning or evenings when the light is the softest which will will complement you the most.

Where do you take photos?

In nature or at your own home, wherever you feel comfortable and where it matches your vision for your photos is great for me.

I prefer working with natural and authentic environments instead of in a studio.

When in nature, I have certain locations at beaches, lakes, in fields or parks that offer wonderful backgrounds to lovely photos.

I'm also open to any ideas that you have in terms of location.

What additional servies or products do you offer?

As a mother myself I have faced this dilemma myself, hence, I offer to edit your personal photos which you have taken, for instance, on your smartphone to make them appealing for a photo book, for instance. If you are interested in my editing services, please do not hesitate to contact and we can chat about it.

Do you retouch / photoshop photos?

Every photo gets edited in my personal style. I do retouches if necessary. If you wish for specific retouches, I'm happy to discuss in person.

Extensive retouching wishes can be done with extra charge.

What happens if I need to reschedule?

If it's your wish to reschedule due to rain, for instance, I'm happy to oblige. At the same time, rainy photos hold their own greatness and fun.

If it's due to any other reason, that's fine as well. We will certainly find a new slot that fits both of us. A timely notification would be great for me to work with.

When is the best time for a Newborn Session?

Although your newborn will always be precious and great to be captured, I do recommend to time it for the first 2 weeks after his or her arrival as then they have the most exquisite newborn aura and tiniest hands and feet :)

How far in advance should I book a session?

As I only offer sessions during the weekends, these can fill up fast - so I recommend to secure your slot as soon as possible.

For Newborn sessions I usually recommend to book at least 3 months in advance.

Do you offer prints?

Yes I do, you can order them directly from your private gallery link which I will send via email as soon as the photos are ready for preview.
