Frequently
asked
questions
-
How long are your sessions?
My sessions last approximately 45-60 minutes… except for underwater sessions run closer to 90 minutes.
-
How many photos will I receive?
My packages start at 40 photos, however each package has the option to be upgraded
-
What about the weather?
I want you to have the best experience and outcome for your session so I am constantly checking the weather in the lead up to your session. I will always keep you updated along the way of any potential changes. This Great Southern region can have frequently changing forecast so we will decide if we need to reschedule within 24 hours of your session but I am super flexible if this is something we need to do.
-
How do you accept payment?
An $80 non refundable deposit is due via bank transfer to secure your date, then the remainder is due 7 days prior to your session either by transfer or cash.
-
How long until I receive my gallery?
My turn around time is between 2-3 weeks.
-
Do you offer gift vouchers?
Yes, I absolutely do!
-
Does my session have to be on the beach?
Whilst I am a salty soul and feel at home on the beach, I know this is not for everyone (my husband included)… so the beach is not the only place I have sessions. If you are drawn to a particular place whether it’s the beach, at home, at the local ice cream shop or in a forrest, for example, that is where we will book your session.
-
Do you travel?
Yes, travel within half an hour of Lower King is included and any travel outside this will incur a small fee.
-
If I am not a strong swimmer, can I still have underwater photos taken?
You don’t have to be the Ian Thorpe of the town, however you do need to be comfortable in the water. We will chat about your swimming abilities prior to your session and plan an experience that is perfect for you… whether that be in the shallows where we can stand/kneel, or if you are confident to get out further where we will be treading water and diving down. I have a few spots locally which are calm beaches, pretty much all year round so these are the ones that I will suggest as locations for your session. Your safety is my number priority.
-
Who can be included in my session?
My sessions are designed to capture that play based and intimate family connection between Mama’s, Dads and their children… or between couples. So only immediate family are included in my session, however if you had an extended family session in mind please reach out.
-
Can I request changes to photos I have received?
I am not a photographer who uses photoshop, so I don’t make major changes to appearances, backgrounds or objects in a photo.
However, if you would like a particular photo in colour, or black and white… or wish to have blemishes, or bruises removed from kids knees for example, then I can make these changes. I will discuss what the additional cost would be based on the type of request and time spent on extra edits.
