Frequently Asked Questions
I want to book a session, what happens next?
Please select your desired date and time and book your session through our booking form. I will then forward to you a standard portrait session agreement as well as your deposit invoice for $100. You session is confirmed as soon as you have paid the session fee and returned your agreement form. For newborn shoots being booked before your baby arrives I will pop your due date in our calendar and spots will be left open and we confirm the date once baby is born.
Newborn sessions should be done sometime between days 5-10. This is when they sleep the most, and still have their amazing flexibility which allow for those adorable positions.
If your baby is over the 10 day mark, this is still perfectly ok to do newborn photos, these photos tend to be a little more natural and we go with what the baby wants to do - still some amazing shots to be had.
Where do you photograph? And do you travel?
Newborns, and up to 6 months of age - the best result are always in my home studio at Redland Bay (I do make some exceptions and travel to new parents homes - contact me if this is something you would like to discuss). I keep my house and studio very clean and sanitized, and am very conscious that your trip to my studio is normally baby's first time out. I take very seriously the health and safety of the newborns that arrive here. I am up to date with all my immunisations and whooping cough boosters.
For babies 9 Months - 1 year old, I do outdoor sessions or in my studio. For this age it works best to give them a little more space to play, and stay entertained to capture those wonderful natural moments. Cake Smash is usually best done in the studio.
We are based at Redland Bay, 40mins from the Brisbane CBD and are currently servicing inner city Brisbane as well as all surrounding areas.
How should I dress for photos with my newborn session or family session?
I encourage all the family to wear light neutral basic colours. tans, whites, and blacks all work great. The simpler the better - no prints or bright colours.
How soon should I expect my photos?
I make it a priority to edit as soon as possible, and upload your online gallery within two weeks of the shoot or sometimes sooner.
Can I order professional prints through you?
Yes, absolutely! Once you receive your online gallery, you can contact me if there is any prints that you would like done professionally. If you
choose to get your prints done at a less qualified location, I can not be held responsible for any disappointment with their printing. Professional photos look best printed by a professional printers. The difference in exposure, color balance, and sharpness completely varies depending on where you get your prints done.
What happens if it's raining for an outdoor session?
If the weather is bad, we will reschedule to my soonest availability.

newborn, baby, family photographer
I love babies, newborn photography is my passion, but there is something so magical about capturing that special bond when photographing families, those cheeky little personalities that come out only around Mums and Dads, the people they trust and are most comfortable with.
My goal is to create timeless photographs that will remain in your family for years to come, capture that feeling of love you feel the first time you hold your new baby. To capture those delicate features of your baby and those squishy little moments that you never get back.
I have always been in the creative industry, from being a Hairdresser for over 8 years, then studying Graphic Design and working for Queensland
Newspapers it really wasn't until I moved to New Zealand and met my long time friend Georgia who photographs portraits, this is when it truely clicked
(excuse the pun). I wanted to be a professional photographer.

lets put the meaning back into our photographs
All of these photos.. They're my family, they are who I look back on to see who I resemble to show our generations to come who their family are, their legacy.
I think we are so caught up with only taking photos on our iPhones that we loose touch of what a photo really means to us. It's a memory, a moment in time that we will never get back.
Is it just my family or is it in every Australian family home to have that corny portrait of you with your family and someone is all red from crying, the other had that fringe that is so short it's about to stand up and no one is really happy about being in this situation, but it's so great! a talking point, a laugh, a memory!
It’s my mission to capture something not only that print on your wall, but also those moments for you and for your children to love, treasure and laugh at as the years pass and to pass down to generations to come!
