Frequently asked questions.

Welcome to the FAQ party - where the questions are frequent, the answers are sassy, and perfection is politely asked to stay outside.

Whether you’re rocking a chaotic family, building a brand, showing up with your lover, your loudest laugh, or your most unfiltered self - you’re in the right damn place. We celebrate real life here: pajama-clad, snack-fueled, messy-haired, soul-shining goodness. No need to tidy your house, wrangle every hair into place, or pretend you don’t sweat when you’re nervous. Scroll on, pick your shoot category, and let’s get you prepped for some unedited brilliance (and probably some mild chaos - love that for us).

General

  • Love that you want to lock in you session - you can book any package through my website (where you can also see my calander), or you shoot me an email to do it for you.

  • My editing turn around time is typically 1-2 weeks.

  • When you’re ready to download your photos - I will send you a zip file of your images for instant access, as well as a private online gallery with your chosen photos for casual downloading as you wish. Both options will be accessible and available for downloading from that point onwards.

  • I’m based on the super gorg Mornington Peninsula - and service both there and the Eastern Melbourne Suburbs. If you are digging my vibes A BUNCH and want me to head to a location that is more than 45mins away there will be a small travel fee ($50).

  • I’m intrigued. Heck yes.

  • Once we’ve rocked your photoshoot, I will email you within the week with your invoice - to pay via bank transfer, Stripe or Paypal. Your photos will not be released until your invoice is paid.

  • Don’t worry babes - I’ve got you! You can upgrade to your full edited gallery, or simply purchase a few extra photos. I have options and wiggle room for every scenario.

  • A big ol HECK YES to this one. I am enthusiastically engaged in many of these spaces already, and would be thrilled to support you in accessing my services. I have years of experience in this area, and providing inclusive photography was the reason I started my business.

  • I primarily provide digital images, and access to a professional printing shop through your online galleries, so you can order as you wish. If you would like me to order prints, products or albums however, I am more than happy to do it for you!

  • I get it - life happens! And we all know how unreasonable Melbourne weather can be. I completely understand if you need to cancel, and you can reschedule for any reason in your Client Portal, or by shooting me an email.

Fambam

  • Of course! I don’t mind who comes along - grandparents, second cousins, the neighbours dog. I don’t have a size limit on who attends, the more the merrier. If you happen to have a big family, we may have to adjust the location to make sure everyone has room to vibe, laugh and enjoy the process.

  • Typically about an hour. If you have very young kids, I tend to find they start to lose the plot at about the 45min mark!

  • Not to labour the point…but the backyard is the usual go to. If you would prefer to head out to a location instead, that is a-ok. Hit me with your ideas, or I can send you a location list!

  • I 100% don’t care. Rock your pjs, matching outfits, or the latest Spiderman onesie. Its up to you, and what you are dreaming about for your final images!

  • Absolutely. In fact - I encourage it. Bribing toddlers, calming nerves, or sharing chips - snacks solve everything.

  • Honestly? That’s kind of my thing. I genuinely love the chaos. Lets just roll with it - real moments over perfection always.

  • Nooo. Everyone feels weird at first. I’ll help you forget the camera’s even there. Awkward is welcome here.

Bub

  • I usually sugges no sooner then 14 days after birth. Babies are sleepier, more flexible, and easier to pose from this time. However, any time you are able to manage do to a shoot in the post-birth haze works for me!

  • There’s no set rule - but if you can manage to lock it in towards the end of the pregnancy you may find that less stressful overall.

  • I LOVE a cosy, safe, relaxed photo sesh at your home. Nappies, spit up, feeding and comfort items all at arms length = the best results. HOWEVER, if you would prefer to venture outdoors to capture that newborn squishiness in nature, I am on board.

  • Totally! The more the merrier!

  • Zero stress - everything will be ok. We go at your bub’s pace, work with what’s happening and embrace the chaos of parenthood. There’s no pressure to be perfect - your shoot will be AMAZING however your little one turns up on the day.

Bump

  • I usually recommend anywhere between 30-35 weeks. The perfect combo of baby bump and still-able-to-move-around-comfortably.

  • Whatever you feel comfy in. Your bod may be feeling amazing right now, or like you need to lie down for a week - so lets go with what works for you. If you want to show off that magnificent bump, perhaps plan to rock something that allows you to show some skin!

  • 100%. Bring the whole family along.

  • Depending on your vibe - we can head outdoors or stay cosy at home. I can suggest locations, times (sunset anyone?) or ways we can make you home look incredible for this moment.

  • Totes normal - and I got you friend! I can talk you through everything, gently help you pose and crack awful jokes to make you laugh. This is a celebration, good vibes are a must.

I’m a F*cking Queen

  • It’s honestly a super simple premise...let’s have a session that celebrates YOU - your strength, anxiety, fears, beauty, confidence, and quirks. We could mark a milestone, take a small step towards reclaiming your self-worth, or maybe you just want to do something f*ckin amazing for yourself. This shoot is designed to make you feel powerful and seen - however that looks to you.

  • We’ll shoot at two unique locations -each chosen to reflect your vibe and energy. Think of it as a day dedicated entirely to YOU. We’ll laugh, move, pose, dance, strip, cover up - whatever makes you feel alive and empowered.

  • Anything you want. That ball gown collecting dust in your wardrobe? YES. Your comfy tracksuit while you read in your house? YES. Your Bday suit? YES. You can bring multiple outfits, and I’ll help guide you based on the locations. If you're unsure, I’m happy to help you style the session ahead of time

  • Hell no. This shoot is about authenticity and freedom. I can gently guide you if you like, otherwise we’ll just feel it out and see what comes to you.

  • Totes normal. Photoshoots can be awkward AF. Most of my Queens start out nervous but always leave the session feeling amazing. I’ll create a safe, relaxed space and guide you through everything. My goal is to make you feel confident, not performative.

  • ABSOLUTELY. Bring your hype human, your sister, or best friend if it makes you feel more at ease.

  • Queen sessions typically run around 1.5 to 2 hours, allowing time for both locations, outfit changes, and a relaxed pace that’s focused on presence - not pressure.

  • We'll decide together! Whether it’s an open field, beach, your home, or somewhere wild and offbeat - I want the location to reflect who you are. I have plenty of recommendations if you’re not sure.

Events

  • I do not - however I know plenty of epic videographers that I can coordinate to be at your event (they will charge separately).

  • Think a mix of documentary-style coverage (candid, natural moments) and posed group shots when needed. My goal is to capture the energy, atmosphere, and important moments of your event without being intrusive to the event at all.

  • Yes! I’m available for out-of-town or destination events covering from Melbourne to Portsea. Travel fees may apply depending on the location. Let’s discuss the details and I’ll provide a custom quote.

  • Anything and Everything. From conferences, team-building events, networking mixers, award ceremonies and galas to birthdays, anniversaries, engagement parties, baby showers, and private celebrations.

  • This depends on the length of your event. A conservative estimate is about 80 edited photos per hour.

Branding/Headshots/Socials

  • Think of a headshot shoot as your cool, confident LinkedIn profile pic’s fun cousin. It’s all about capturing you (or your team) looking fresh, professional, and a little ✨extra✨ - simple, creative, and done in a flash.

    A branding shoot, on the other hand, is the full glow-up. We dive deep into your brand vibes, values, and visual style. It’s a full-on strategy-meets-photoshoot situation where we plan everything - from outfits to locations to mood - to create a whole look that screams YOU (but, like, in a really on-brand way).

  • These are perfect for entrepreneurs, small businesses, coaches, creatives, content creators, and anyone who needs a consistent visual identity across their website, social media, and marketing materials.

  • Yes! After booking, you’ll receive a branding questionnaire and we’ll have a branding chat to help define your vision, colour palette, messaging, and shot list. I also offer styling support and help with prop ideas.

  • Branding sessions typically run 1–3 hours, depending on the scope. Don’t worry - we’ll stop for snacks and coffee throughout!

  • Headshot sessions are quick and efficient - usually 30 minutes for individuals and a little longer if it’s a team. You’ll get clean, professional, creative portraits at your chosen location.

  • These shoots are designed to help you stay visible and consistent online. I’ll capture a variety of images that match your content calendar - great for Instagram, TikTok, blogs, reels, and more.

  • Perfect for influencers, creatives, small business owners, service providers, or anyone who wants to maintain a steady stream of branded content without doing it all themselves.

  • Many clients book monthly or quarterly to stay fresh and relevant online. I offer subscription-based monthly packages if you need content on a regular basis.

  • Of course! We’ll discuss your goals and brand voice ahead of time. I can also help create a content plan or visual direction if needed.

Lovers

  • Yes. Big yes. I can help with as much (or as little) as you need. From a pre-proposal chat to talk through ideas, timing and nerves, to a full secret-ninja plan where I hide at the location and capture the moment as it unfolds. I’m very happy to make backup plans for the backup plans, troubleshoot logistics, and roll with whatever dream you’re cooking up - whether it’s low-key and intimate or something a little more extra. You focus on the question. I’ve got the rest covered.

  • This is perfect for any couple - whether you’ve just got engaged, you want to celebrate an anniversary, slay the present giving game with your partner, or simply celebrate how happy you both are.

  • Totally normal! Most couples feel that way at first! I’ll guide you through relaxed, natural poses so the shoot feels more like a fun date than a stiff photo session. The perfect chance to shake the jitters away if you’ve got a wedding on the horizon too!

  • Something COMFY. We want the focus on each other - not the ill fitting outfit that needs to be tugged every 5 seconds.

  • I’ll help you choose a location that reflects your style - whether it’s romantic, urban, adventurous, or cozy. Think: parks, beaches, your favourite café, or somewhere meaningful to you as a couple.

Weddings

Weddings are complicated AF - and involve more than a few questions! I have a PDF full of info to get you started. Then let’s jump on a call, or meet for a coffee to hash it out and answer every question you can think of!

No probs - FAQs can’t cover everything. If your curiosity’s still buzzing, go ahead and send me a message. I’m just one click away, probably editing photos in my pjs and ready to help.
