How long is the shoot for?
this depends on what package you choose. If I think we need a few more minutes on the day, I am not a ‘’clock watcher’’. HOWEVER i NORMALLY TAKE ''TOO MANY PHOTOS'' SO I HAVE A LOT TO SELECT FROM WHICH ARE BEST TO DELIVER TO YOU.

WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?
I would suggest just thinking about how you want your outfits to look, how they mesh with each others outfit choices, and CONSIDER things like will this dress be crinkled in the drive over before shooting even starts! P.S CHECKERED SHIRTS ALWAYS CLASH IN PHOTOS - i RECOMMEND AGAINST.

IS THERE ANYTHING WE SHOULD PREPARE FOR THE SHOOT?
please make sure kids are fed! No one likes to smile hungry!

Can FAMILY MEMBERS come along to help get kids (who arent in the actual shoot)?
Sure can! As long as they are helpful in getting the best smiles out of your kids!

SHOULD WE BRING ANYTHING?
For children I recommend lollies for bribing and smiles, bubbles if you don’t mind them being in your photos, and any props you may like, e.g. a favourite rug to sit on etc. if your child has a well loved item, bring it a long. so many children have favourite teddies which get dragged around everywhere in their day to day life, why not let them be in some of the memories too!

How does your pricing structure work?
Currently I charge aN amount for the session time which includes a certain amount of photographs.

DO YOU HAVE ANY HAIR DRESSErS OR MAKE UP ARTISTS YOU RECOMMEND FOR PHOTOSHOOTS?
