Portrait Session Packages
Being photographed doesn't have to feel overwhelming or performative.
My portrait sessions are designed to feel calm, guided, and human, whether you're stepping in front of the camera for the first time or returning to it in a new season of life. I work gently, with plenty of reassurance and room to settle, so you don't need to know how to pose or act a certain way.
There are two portrait options below, each offering a different pace. Both are rooted in the same intention: to help you feel safe, seen, and quietly at ease while we create something meaningful together.
Most people who book with me aren't sure what they want yet - and that's completely okay. If you need help deciding, feel free to send me a message and we can work it out together.
*I'm currently only taking 1-2 sessions per week, so space is limited
STEP 01
Get in contact 🌱
My enquiry form has a few questions to fill out, or you're more than welcome to send me an email with all the details. It's ok if you're not sure what you're after, we can work it out together.
STEP 02
Consultation 🌙
We can chat via email or on the phone - whatever you're comfortable with. We'll go through dates, times, locations, outfits - whatever you need to help you feel comfortable and prepared.
STEP 03
Picture time 📸
The day is finally here! I'll be there bright-eyed and bushy tailed, ready to take on whatever you/your tribe has to offer. The session will feel more like hanging out with a new best friend, and will fly by faster than you think.
STEP 04
Delivering photos ✨
It can take me a little bit to make sure your photos are the perfect embodiment of how the session felt, but I'll send through a handful of images as a sneak peek before the whole gallery is ready. I get far too excited about how they turn out to gate keep!
FAQ
Where would our photos take place?
Wherever tells the best story for you and your loved ones. Newborn sessions are done in your home, family sessions can be at home, in a park or at the beach, and headshots can be just as personalised. If you'd like a studio setting, we can work together to find the best one for us to hire (additional charges may apply).
Do you travel for sessions?
Yes! I love to meet you wherever you feel most comfortable, whether that’s a local park, your home, or a special outdoor spot. I’m based in Springwood, but travel regularly around Sydney and even over to Aotearoa/New Zealand, and I’m happy to discuss other locations on request. Travel fees may apply depending on distance ($0.88/km as per the ATO yearly recommendation).
What should we wear for our session?
Choose clothes that feel like you - comfort is key! Soft, natural fabrics and muted or earthy tones often work beautifully with natural light and help keep the focus on your connection and expressions. Avoid busy patterns or logos if you can, but the most important thing is that you feel relaxed and authentic in what you wear.
How long does it take to get our photos?
I take care to edit each image thoughtfully. Typically, you can expect your digital gallery within 2-3 weeks after the session.
Do you offer albums or prints?
I do! I'm affiliated with a few different printing companies, so I'd be happy to print on your behalf. Or, if you have something specific in mind, I can point you in the right direction - just let me know and we can work it out together!
What if I feel nervous or uncomfortable in front of the camera?
That’s totally normal, and you’re not alone. My sessions are relaxed and unpressured - think of it more like spending time with a friend than a formal photoshoot. I guide gently and always respect your boundaries, making sure you feel safe and in control.
What happens if I need to reschedule due to health or other personal reasons?
Life happens. Just let me know as soon as possible, and we’ll work together to find a new date that suits you.
I’m going through IVF / chronic illness / healing from trauma - can you accommodate my needs?
Absolutely, I understand how important it is to feel comfortable during such tough times. I’m here to support your process with flexibility and care - just share what you need, and we’ll create a session that feels right for you.
