FAQs

WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?

I am a Hobart based photographer, but happily shoot around Tasmania and will make trips to mainland Australia for my clients. Please be in touch if you’re not local to Hobart, and we can discuss the travel details.

HOW DO WE BOOK?

Booking a shoot is easy! Send me an enquiry here, with a little note about your family and when and where you would like to have photos taken. Once I have some details, I can send you a formal quote and from there, I will lock you in on receipt of a deposit and we can hatch a plan!

DO YOU DO MATERNITY photography?

I love maternity shoots! I’m keen to hear from you and your bump to create something unique!

DO you shoot COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHY?

I sure do! You can see my commercial work over here.

WHAT DO WE WEAR FOR OUR PHOTO SHOOT?

An age old question! I recommend that you stick with a style that is still you and zhuzh it up from there. It’s easiest to start the process by working on an outfit for a parent first, and then collating outfits for the other family members around that. Working within a colour palette is a really good idea, and if you really love a bold pattern, popping a bold print/pattern on just one person in the family, can break up the monotony nicely (see here for how effective it can look). Just don’t apply the bold pattern/print to everyone in the family!

Matching outfits can look forced, but if you really like the idea of matching, I recommend you keep it classic and simple. Sometimes matching the colour rather than the actual outfits can look really effective, but I recommend we discuss first to make sure we get it right.

I would generally steer clear of brand names being visible on clothing unless you’re going for a very specific look. I recommend simple classics if you’re unsure of your “style". Texture is always very photographic - chunky knits, linens, silks all look beautiful. Have a think about where your shoot will take place and consider this when you choose your outfits too.

Having said ALL of the above, if you don’t care much for fashion/trends, and prefer seeing your family in their favourite tees and jeans… your everyday selves, that is also a GREAT option. I love capturing your true selves. Let’s have fun with it!

See this pinterest board if you need some extra help - and I’m always happy to chat out your ideas.

WHEN AND WHERE SHOULD WE GET OUR PHOTOS TAKEN?

In-home sessions can be really meaningful, especially if your home has great sentimental value (perhaps it’s been in the family for generations, or it's your very first family home built from scratch), or it is a space where you and your family have made wonderful memories and it’s where you feel happy and relaxed. Alternatively, if you prefer an outdoors shoot, we are so fortunate in Tassie and all around Australia where we are spoiled for beaches, headlands or forested areas - it depends on what you and your family like doing together! In terms of timing, indoor shoots at home mean we can shoot any time of the day. If we are on-location though, we will be aiming to shoot in the morning or evening to take advantage of that golden light that makes you and everything around you look amazing. Should we get a cloudy day - all good! Cloudy days give us really lovely, even flattering light as well.

WHAT IF WE ARE UNWELL ON SHOOT DAY?

If you, or your family members are unwell on the day of the shoot, please be in touch as early as possible and we will reschedule your photo session.

WHAT IF THE WEATHER IS NOT IDEAL ON SHOOT DAY?

If you are hoping to have an outdoors photo session, please have a back up indoor plan in case weather is not kind to us.
