Portrait sessions

 

Whether you're celebrating, in love or have a growing family it's so important to document life's milestones and the people who play a part in them.

 

Photographs are one of few things that become more valuable to us with time, and I'd love to help capture your memories.

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 also book 12+ months ahead.

Fine Art Prints

Imagine every time you walk through your home, the people you love most are on the wall smiling at you. Or if you're short on wall space, a print box might be a perfect choice.

 

Prints are a timeless choice - 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 by me and hand crafted by a premium Australian printery. Your choices include custom covers, 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 with any image. Or if you're a little more rustic, a timber print might be a great fit.

Printing FAQ

MSH_8573.jpg

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?

I encourage you to buy products from a specialist. Retail prices are enticing, but 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. I'm here to help take the hassle out of printing for you.

Can I see some samples, how much should I budget?

Of course, I can share samples with you and help place an order for your own keepsakes (plus maybe some gifts for family too). 

As a guide, canvases start at $175 and albums start from $375. Payment plans are also available.

How Long from ordering to arrival?

If you are ordering fine are prints or 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 4 weeks to arrive.
