1. What kind of experience do you have as a photographer?

I have always been a photography nut. Ever since a little girl watching me grandad and dad love for photography.

I have completed a Tafe photography course and have completed The Academy of Newborn Photography safety certificate which educated on how to handle newborn babies safely as well as teaching you CPR and first aid on babies.

Each year I invest in education with top photographers from all over the world, building skills and keeping up to date with the latest trends.

My equipment is the best and upgraded every 12-18 months to ensure I have the best quality for my clients.

2. What type of photography do you specialise in?

I specialise in Maternity, Newborn and Family photography.

Maternity is my true passion, celebrating how amazing women are and to document this most incredible journey. I truely believe it is just as important as capturing newborn babies.

Babies are a true honour to capture. Watching new families with their precious new humans is magic.

3. Where are you located?

I have a studio in Coomera. I do outdoor locations all over the Gold Coast and Brisbane.

4. When should clients book their photography sessions?

Booking in advance is so important.

For maternity as soon as you know you are pregnant from 12 weeks on, please book in. I recommend from 29-34 weeks pregnant we should hold the session.

For newborn as soon as you have a due date please book in. We pencil in 2 weeks from due date and change it when baby arrives.

Family outdoor sunsets usually a month in advance is great.

Booking early ensures me to have the flexibility to moves sessions if we need to. I only offer a number of bookings per month.

5. What kind of prices and packages do you offer?

My session fee is $199 this is for the photography session only so does not include any images.

Packages start from $795.

On average client's spend from $1300-$3000

6. How should customers prepare for their photography sessions?

Communication will be given on how to prepare for your session as well as a client phone call to make sure any questions are answered.

7. What should customers expect during a photography session?

Expect to have fun, relax and let me work my magic. Have no expectation on the day especially working with little ones. I will aways capture beautiful family moments that you will cherish forever so just enjoy the experience and don't stress.

8. How do you ensure safety of the newborn during the session?

As mentioned previously I have completed a newborn safety certificate. Safety of babies or any of my client's is my priority.

9. How soon will customers be able to get their photos?

As soon as the invoice is paid I will begin to edit images. I will aim to have these completed within 7-10 days however if it is holidays or a very busy week this may be extended. Any wall arts and products will be around 2-4 weeks

10. Do you have anything else you would like to tell us?

I am extremely passionate about photography. I believe in capturing moments that you will remember for a lifetime. Family is the most important thing. Having lost both parents, the only thing I have of them are images, which to me are priceless.
