The experience & pricing
Pet, Family & Couples Photoshoots
Serving Gippsland, Mornington Peninsula and Melbourne
How does a luxury photo session like this work?
From call to wall, your shoot is customized around what expresses your family dynamic best!.. with extra help along the way
Step 1.
GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER
It starts with reaching out. You’ll receive a reply from me pretty quickly with a link to a personalised video answering your questions and sharing some thoughts.
We’ll have a phone call if you have more questions or you can jump right to booking if you’re ready to go.
Your date is secure with the reservation fee and then we’ll discuss your vision, come up with ideas and create a plan that is perfectly customised to suit you!
Step 2.
THE PHOTOSHOOT & ACTIVITY
We let your session flow naturally. I photograph in a non-intrusive way that offers just the right amount of guidance.
Most of the time you’ll forget I’m even there as you enjoy the activity you all love, and each others company (don’t worry I’ll give some helpful prompts too).
And when we do capture some more structured images, you’ll be feeling confident, but not overwhelmed.
Step 3.
ARTWORK ORDERING APPOINTMENT
I have over 10 years experience helping clients select wall art.
With this knowledge I’ll help you choose the best images and finished products for your home which will be shipped directly to your door at no extra charge.
Most clients also purchase a custom designed collector book as a beautiful keepsake- which also means you’ll have the digitals!

“I remember thinking I wouldn’t worry about purchasing an album as I wouldn’t often look at it but we have it on our bedside table and look at it regularly. She put it together so beautifully, in a way that tells a story, and I will definitely treasure it forever”

FAQs

I service ALL of Australia (and also internationally).
My favourite spots are at clients homes and properties, or the beach.
For dog-friendly beach, Cape Patterson photographs super well! I also love Mornington’s Royal Beach or Tassell’s Cover for our four-legged friends.
Down the Peninsula, you’ll find me photographing families and couples around Cape Schanck, and extended families with reduced mobility, around Merricks Beach.Back in Gippsland, I have some realy nice locations for greenery too in Latrobe Valley, around Warragul and in South Gippsland too.

Between Traralgon and Portsea, including Inverloch, Phillip Island and the Prom- I will come to you without travel fees.
Beyond that, I am happy to travel with a higher reservation fee (but you’ll get that back as a print credit).
I travel back to Europe annually and offer set packages for shoots in Italy and France (don’t worry, I have the legal right to work there).
And I am always up for an adventure anywhere in Australia, so join my wait list for travel near you!

Of course!
During your planning call I’ll get to know more about you in order to decide the direction of the shoot, including the location.
We’ll start with your lifestyle and interests, and then look at your home decor to ensure the backdrop of your images will suit your walls as well.
If you have kids or dogs joining the session, we’ll choose somewhere they can relax and safely explore.
Just you or you and a partner? We’ll pick somewhere that suits you perfectly. Maybe that’s a stop at a winery or or a hike down the Prom.

That’s totally normal, and don’t worry, I’ll help you out starting with a Pinterest board for Inspiration and then we’ll narrow it down during our call!

This photoshoot is a great opportunity to be pampered so we highly recommend professional make up and can help organise that for you!
Extra hint: book a date night for afterwards to make the most of feeling FINE!

You’ll confirm your date with the non-refundable reservation fee. Part of that is print credit.
That's enough to cover a beautiful gift print, but you'll likely go bigger, or add an album.
Our clients spend anywhere from $1000 to $20,000 depending on finishes, sizes, and number of pieces.
Most people spend somewherecloser to $2500- but we’ll discuss all this in detail on your call prior to booking.No matter what you choose to spend, you’ll certainly come away with an end result that's perfect for you.
Not too much, not too little, just the perfect collection to relive these moments forever.

Wall art is my specialty, and other print products like albums and keepsake boxes are available as well.
We also gift you a free web-resolution digital version of each purchased image for sharing on social media.
If high-resolution digital copies are important to you, you can purchase master copies of your favourites for $300 each. These are perfectly editing for printing as big as you like, as often as you like!

Your reservation fee secures your date and is forfeited in the event of cancellations excluding bad weather which is considered dangerous.
We also block off a 36 hour period just for you, so there’s plenty of time for back-up’s if the weather is bad.
If you need to reschedule due to travel delays or something else out of your control we can typically accommodate one reschedule beyond the 36 hour window, outside of high-season, for an admin fee of $250.
We highly recommend taking this into consideration when booking your travel if you’re not local.

I’d love to chat with them before you schedule. That way, I can address their concerns and reassure them that this will be FUN, not awkward, and definitely not work!
The whole idea of the session is to add to a day together, not distract from it.
I promise to make it easy.
