You can contact me via my website, by email, phone, or private message on instagram or facebook. Once we have a suitable date, I will email you through your booking documents which includes your invoice, contract, detailed questionnaire and session guide. A 50% non-refundable retainer (30% for my combined Bump to Baby package) is required to secure your booking, along with your signed contract. Your retainer needs to be paid within 48 hours or your date may be given to someone else. If for some reason you need this 48 hours extended, please feel free to discuss this with me.

Maternity sessions are typically held between 28-36 weeks in your pregnancy, when you have a beautiful baby bump but are still (hopefully!) comfortable enough to move around freely. This also allows time to reschedule in the event of sickness or poor weather. The best time to book your maternity session is when you are in your second trimester, and I do recommend to book early to avoid missing out.

Newborn sessions are typically held when your baby is up to two weeks old - this is when they are *usually* more sleepy and settled. This is personal preference however and we can hold off and do the session later than this if you prefer. We book a date based off your estimated due date, you let me know when baby arrives and then we can shuffle the date around if necessary.

Maternity and Family sessions are held outdoors on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula. After booking, clients receive my location guide which will take you through my preferred locations including beaches, stunning clifftops and forests. If you have another spot in mind, please let me know as I may be able to accommodate this.

Newborn sessions are either in your own home or outdoors. Please note that I do not have a studio.

Locations beyond 30km from Mount Martha will incur a travel fee - please contact me for a quote.

Of course! They are welcome and encouraged to be included in your newborn session, and it is your choice if you would like a solo maternity session or to have your partner/children join you.

I LOVE animals so this is pretty much always going to be a YES from me, as long as animals are permitted at the location. Please be aware that you will be responsible for your pet and their behaviour. If you have a fur baby that you would like to include in our session, please let me know ahead of time.

This is something we will discuss at the time of booking, however newborn sessions are usually in the morning and maternity + family sessions are typically a sunset or sunrise session. This is due to more favourable (golden hour) lighting. If you have something else in mind such as a full sun session, or sunrise/sunset timings do not work for you then please discuss this with me during the booking process as I am happy to accommodate your preferences where possible.

I do! There is an additional $50 fee per family member outside of your immediate family.

This is totally up to you. Some clients choose to but of course it isn't necessary. If you do decide to have hair/make-up done, I recommend checking their reschedule policies in case we need to reschedule your session for any reason.

You will be emailed a link to your Selection/Proofing Gallery which is a curated gallery of all the best images from the session (usually 50 + images for a full session). These images are generally unedited (or minimal editing) and watermarked and you will usually receive it within 3 business days. From here you 'favourite' the photos that you wish to receive as part of your package and email your favourites list back to me. I then fully edit each one of your selected photos. You can expect to receive your completed gallery within 4 weeks of sending your selections, as long as there are no outstanding payments. Please note that all photos included in your collection will be high-res digital images, not prints.

Each package includes a set amount of digital images included in the package price. If upon viewing your Proofing/Selection Gallery you decide you would like more, additional images can be purchased either in singles or in bundles, as per below;

$25 per image

5 additional images for $75

10 additional images for $100

20 additional images for $140

You also have the option to upgrade to purchase your full gallery, and this price will depend on how many images are in your gallery. All of this information and pricing will be in the email you receive with the link to your proofing gallery.

I do not provide the raw images. Each image that you receive will be thoughtfully and carefully edited to reflect my style and my best work.

I may make a decision to reschedule the session date in the event of unfavourable weather (raining and/or extreme winds) - this will be at my discretion, in consultation with the client. Sometimes the decision to reschedule isn't made until the day prior to the session, as Melbourne's weather is subject to change! If this is the case, we find another suitable and available date for your session. This is why I advise to not wait until you are too far along in your pregnancy to book your maternity session, as the next available date may be a couple of weeks later.

In the event of sickness, we also may need to reschedule.

I do ask that you provide 14 days notice when requesting a reschedule (or as much notice as possible if unwell). This is all stipulated in the contract you sign at the time of booking.

PLEASE NOTE I am unable to facilitate reschedule requests simply due to the weather not being your preferred choice (ie a sunny day, or if it is too cold etc). Overcast weather is actually very favourable to shoot in and although Winter in Melbourne is chilly, we do have some stunning skies and sunsets at that time of year.
