Preparing for Your Session

To help create beautiful and timeless images, please consider the following:

Who Would You Like Included?

Think about the combinations of photographs you would like before your session:

·       Mum and child/children

·       Dad and child/children

·       Whole family

·       Individual portraits of each child

·       Siblings together

Outfit Colour Tips

Coordinated colour palettes photograph beautifully.

We recommend:

·       Similar colour tones across the family

·       Neutral or earthy colours

·       Simple, plain tops for adults

·       Minimal patterns and logos

·       Outfits that complement each other rather than match exactly

Gallery Delivery & Image Selection

After your session, you will receive access to a private online gallery where you can view your images and select your favourites.

Once your selection has been submitted, your chosen images will receive final retouching, including light adjustments, background refinements, removal of distractions where appropriate, and overall finishing touches before delivery.

Selection Timeframe*

Please complete your image selection within 48 hours of receiving your gallery.

A $25 late processing fee may apply to galleries selected after this period, as editing is completed in a scheduled workflow.
