The Experience

When you book with me…

Once you have booked your session and paid your session fee I send you out a Preparation Guide to help you with how to get yourself and your family ready for the session especially WHAT TO WEAR!

We meet for the shoot and have a lot of fun while capturing timeless family portraits.

When your gallery is ready to view, you will be sent an email with a link.

The link will take you to a slideshow that I have collated and put to music consisting of all of your beautiful photographs as well as all of your fully image gallery. Once you have viewed the slideshow, you will be presented with the option to select a collection. Each collection consists of both digital images and print credit. Once you have selected your collection, you will then have access to your gallery. Within your gallery is an online store, through this store you are able to print your images. This online store is linked to an Australian professional print lab (not a low quality retail outlet) that is located here in Melbourne.

Print Shop

I believe in printing professional quality photographs. Printed photographs are tangible. We can hold them, pass them around, frame them and hang them on the wall. Portraits will be treasured and looked at for years to come. I am passionate about creating photographs, real photographs, printed on professional papers. I want everyone now and into the future to be looking at and holding onto tangible photographs.

I believe the best way to provide exceptional service to all of my clients is to present then with beautiful, professionally finished work.

I believe in printing my work professionally by professional labs. Believe it or not, not all labs are created equal. Quality printing is not something the local shop offers. Professional labs have strict quality control and print my work to my standards. This is why I attached my professional print lab store to every gallery that I deliver and everything is printed and assembled right here in Melbourne!

I also understand that in the age of digital technology you want to share images through social media and view them on portage devices. For this reason, I don’t just offer print credit, I also offer digital images as part of my collections.
