The lead time is around 4-6 weeks, depending on availability. But that gives you plenty of time to get thinking about outfits, props etc.

What we shoot will depend on your business and what you want to showcase to your clients. You also need to think about wether it is a few key images for a website or a bank of images for your social media. I always get my clients to put together a mood board via Pinterest, this will give both of us a really clear direction on what you’re trying to achieve from the session. It’s always nice to refer back to this during the session so we can make sure we’re on the right track.

Almost everyone starts off a session by saying they hate having their photo taken. I totally get it—I feel the same way! It’s natural to get nervous when the camera comes out. But my job is to make sure you feel relaxed and have a great time. The first 10 minutes might feel a bit awkward, but I promise you’ll quickly settle in. There’s always plenty of light-hearted banter and fun conversations, and

I totally understand! We'll discuss and plan out the locations, but it's helpful to think ahead about spaces that represent your brand. Do you frequent a local café where you meet clients? Do you prefer a beach setting or a cityscape? Consider what reflects your personality too—maybe you have a favorite outdoor spot where you relax. It’s a good idea to make a list of all the elements you want to showcase about yourself and your business, and even a bit of your personal side.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer here, but getting your styling right is a crucial part of a successful shoot. Clothes are a fantastic way to express your personality and what you’re all about. Whether it’s a chic blazer, a bold dress, or even playful accessories like funky socks or standout sneakers, the options are endless. 

Also think about what you’re trying to achieve… a few key shots or a bank of images? The more variety of clothes you have, the more variety of image we can achieve in a short time.

Ultimately, it’s about what makes you feel confident and truly reflects the powerful business owner you are. Consider your ideal client—what would you be comfortable wearing in front of them? 

Personally, I always feel more confident with professionally done hair, so I’d definitely recommend that. But deciding whether to book professional hair and makeup is a deeply personal choice that depends on your brand, preferences, and budget. If it fits with your brand and you have the budget for it, a makeup artist can achieve a 'natural' look that’s polished but not overdone. In the end it’s your call with what you are trying to achieve.

I take a lot of time and care to make sure your images are edited in the best possible way. However I do know how excited you will be to get cracking with your new shots. Turnaround time is 2-3 weeks.

Once your images are ready I will email you an invitation to your personal online gallery. The gallery is password protected and the fastest way to access your images via your desktop or mobile. You will be able to download the entire collection of images for storage or individual images for sharing to social media or email.

One of the best parts of the job is travelling to the most beautiful places all over Australia. If are in the Newcastle/Hunter region there is no travel fee. If you are outside these areas then I'm happy to give you customised pricing depending on your location.

To lock in the date of your session, a $150 deposit is required. The balance is then finalised after the day of your session. Note: your images are not sent until final payment has been received.

I’ll guide you through posing, where to look, flattering angles, and outfit choices. By the end of the session, clients leave feeling confident and genuinely enjoying the experience of doing something special for themselves.
