Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q. When should I book my shoot?
As soon as you know you want to book, reach out to secure your date. Bookings can be made well in advance, so get in early to avoid any date disappointment. As a guide, I suggest Maternity shoots to be done around 30-34 weeks, but can be done much later depending on how you feel. Newborn shoots are done within the first 14 days after baby arrives.
-
Q. What should I do if I’m unsure about posing or looking awkward?
Don’t worry! I’ll guide you through all the poses and help you feel at ease. My goal is to capture natural, beautiful moments that reflect your personality and excitement.
-
Q. How long does a photoshoot typically last?
Maternity and Family sessions run for about 1 hour. Newborn sessions run for around 2 hrs so we aren’t in a rush and can comfort baby as needed. I’ll make sure to work at a pace that suits your comfort and preferences.
-
Q. What if the weather is bad on the day of the shoot?
I aim to check the weather a few days before the scheduled session. If it is looking like it may not be suitable I will let you know. I can usually accommodate an alternate date if the weather doesn’t cooperate. Just let me know your preferences and any concerns you have in advance.
-
Q. How long will it take to receive the edited photos?
You can expect to receive your edited photos within 2 to 4 weeks. I’ll keep you updated on the progress and let you know when your images are ready for viewing.
-
Q. Can I request specific poses or setups?
Of course! Feel free to share any specific ideas or poses you have in mind. I’ll do my best to incorporate them while also suggesting safe and flattering options.
-
Q. What locations can I choose from?
Let me know if you would like me to send through my Location Guide. I am happy to travel to wherever your heart desires for your photoshoot, however any travel over 30km’s from my home in Kinglake will incur an additional $10 travel fee for every 10km extra in travel.

Q. What types of photography services do you offer?
I offer a range of photography services, specialising in maternity, family, motherhood, and newborn/infant photography. Whether you're expecting or celebrating family milestones, I create personalised sessions to capture the special moments in your life. Each session is designed to preserve memories you'll treasure for years to come.
-
Q. Can I include my partner and other children in the photos?
Absolutely! Including your partner and other children can make the shoot more meaningful and capture the excitement of expanding your family. Please bring them along! Just let me know in advance so we can plan accordingly.
-
Q. What time will my photoshoot be?
I always aim to schedule maternity and family sessions around sunset, as the soft, golden light creates the most beautiful and natural atmosphere for your photos. For newborn sessions, I prefer to photograph indoors, usually in the comfort of your home or my home studio, where your little one can feel relaxed and at ease. This allows me to capture those intimate, authentic moments in a peaceful setting.
