Portrait sessions
Whether you're celebrating, in love or have a growing family it is so important to document life's milestones and the people who play a part in them. Photographs are the only way to preserve our most priceless memories and one of few things that become more valuable to us with time.
Portraits FAQ
What's included in your packages?
Portrait packages start from $325 including 30 minutes coverage, available to couples and individuals. Family packages start from $500 including 60 minutes coverage at your choice of location across Rockhampton and the Capricorn Coast. All packages include retouched high resolution images.
How soon should I book a session?
Sessions typically book 3 months ahead, with dates booking especially quickly in the lead up to Christmas. For maternity and time-dependent sessions, I suggest booking as soon as possible to ensure availability. School formals/graduations also book 12+ months ahead at times.
What should we bring and wear?
Upon booking my clients receive a styling guide, location look-book and session preparation tips to ensure all your questions are answered. I also have a list of local businesses I can recommend including makeup artists, hair stylists and florists to help bring your vision to life.
Do you travel?
Yes, just enquire to see if I'll be near you soon! If you're keen to do something out of the ordinary, I also offer adventure sessions. These sessions include travel off the beaten track. Be prepared to get your shoes dirty and hike/climb/get your clothes wet in the name of a great photo (or let me know your plans)!
What are your terms, Do you accept payment plans?
A booking fee and signed agreement is required to secure your session, with full payment due on or before the date of your session. You are welcome to pay for your package and products in instalments, or I can create a payment plan for you.
How long does it take to receive our images?
I’ll typically post or provide a sneak peek of your photos within 72 hours. After this, full session galleries have a turnaround of approximately 4 weeks. Please keep in mind any extra time you may need to order and receive products if you have a specific deadline to work towards.
Print Products
All print products are sourced through specialised Australia laboratories, held to the highest standards and printed on professional photographic materials.
Fine Art Prints
Imagine every time you walk through your house, the people you love most are on the wall smiling at you. Or if you love keepsakes, a print box might be the perfect choice.
Prints are a great starting point for making your home tell a story - your images printed on archival quality cotton paper with a textured finish, suitable for framing or gifting to loved ones.
Albums
All albums are designed to your taste and hand crafted by a premium Australian printery. Your choices include cover material/colour/embossing and of course the photos within.
These keepsakes are perfect way to display all your most cherished moments in one place and a thoughtful, lasting gift for parents or grandparents.
Wall Art
All wall art is supplied ready to hang in your home, simply mount and enjoy. For the classic, I offer UV protected canvas prints with a 75 year replacement guarantee.
For those who prefer modern, try acrylic or metal prints to create a luxury feel on any image. Or if you're a little more rustic, a timber print might be the perfect fit.
Printing FAQ
Why do I need to print my photos?
Though I've embraced the digital age, please don't forget how special it is to hold a physical photograph in your hand (plus, technology can fail - back up those files)!
Printing your images turns them into a tangible memory that can be passed on for generations - they are one of few things in life that will appreciate in value as they age.
Is professional printing worth it?
It's important to buy products from a photographic specialist. While retail prices are enticing, these outlets don't adhere to the same standards as professional labs.
My products are printed on archival materials, mounted and supplied ready to display with extended warranties, taking the hassle out of printing for you.
Can I see some samples first?
When your gallery is ready, I will arrange to view product samples with you and place an order for your own photographic keepsakes including fine art prints, wall art and albums (and maybe some gifts for family too).
Your photos are forever so I encourage you to let me help with creating your own heirlooms!
How Long does the ordering process take?
If you are ordering fine are prints wall art, the average turnaround time is 2-4 weeks (but may vary in peak seasons such as Christmas).
For albums, the design process can take a little longer - once we discuss your choices, I will put together your design and provide a proof for approval. Upon ordering, albums typically take 3-4 weeks to arrive.
